A Collapsed Boom.

The collapse of the Oklahoma boom is
more speedy and complete than anybody
supposed possible. The demand forlands
was grossly overrated. Tho number of
home seekers was absurdly multiplied by
the vivid Imagination of town site spec,l-
lators. For one genuine settler who went
into Oklahoma to take up Homestead and
develop the country there were q hundred
adventures. Tho population which
rushed into Oklahoma a month ago WASH
the main non-productive and ephemeral.
This is revealed by the records of the
gene al land office. All the extra clerks
hurried to the land Office at Guthrie and
kingfisher II month ago, in anticipation of
extraordinary business, have returned to
Washington, explaining til { there was no
more work than the local officials could
easily perform. Up to the time they left
less than 1900 entries had been made in
the entire district opened to settlement.
This is the most extraordinary result of
the hullabaloo raised over the rush for
lands i'll the Oklahoma country.
On the other hand, the town of Guthrie

mitted that this is diminishing every day
by assertions. There are two or three
other towns in Oklahoma, though none as
considerable as Guthrie. Taking them
altogether. and allowing four or oven five
souls to every homesteader. tho town pop
ulation i'll the district is certainly greater
than the rural or agricultural. There are
more people squatted on town lots hoping
to mako a living out of trading with the
farmers i'll the adjacent country than there
are settled on farms md preparing to en-
gage in productive pursuits. This is the
secret of the collapse of the Oklahoma
boom. 1t was almost entirely speculative.
Pc pie crowded into the new country to
make fortunes by grabbing and selling
town sites, not by the legitimate develops
ment Of the natural resources of the coun-
try. The population of Oklahoma is not
half what it was the week after it was
opened. 1t will BIO still less after a winter
has cooled the enthusiasm of the boomers,
There won't be enough people left in the
territory next spring to hold a town meet-
ing. But those who do stay will probably
prosper in the end.

Kansas Cyctones.

A special from Emporia, Kan.. reports
that a disastrous cyclone passed over Glenn
ents, Chase county. Capt. Brown and
his daughter we're killed and his wife had
q leg almost torn off and his son had an
arm and leg broken. Several other persons
were killed md many injured. A cyclone
also formed about six miles southwest of
Mcpherson, passing almost directly east
through the county, striking the earth three
times in its passage. Where it struck
everything was destroyed. 1t struck John
Nightingale's house, carrying it entirely
away. and not a vestige being seen since.
The family escaped by taking refuge inthe
cellar. b. Katzlap's house was also de-
stroyed and the family likewise saved by
taking refuge in the cellar. Corn and
wheat were taken out of the ground. No
lives were lost. The only thing that saved
destruction was that buildings were not in
its track.

An Insurance sw,nulcr Caught,

News of the arrest Mt Tombstone, Ariz.,
of John S. Hillman, who disappeared nine
years ago. has been received Mt Lawrence,
Kan. Hillman's life was insured for SlO.-
600, and after a long litigation his wife
was awarded S37, NOO. The dead body of
the man was brought to Lawrence from
the Indian territory several years ago and
iden .ifiea by a number of persons as that
of Hillman. Mrs. Hillm III had the body
inferred as that of her husband. bnt the
insurance companies contended :hat Hill
man was still alive. The man who was
arreste l will be brought to Lawrence and
the case reopened.
Mrs. Hillmm has since married j. L.
Smith, aud lives in Leavenworth. She
says the report of h,llman's being alive is
untrue and was gotten up by the insurance
companies to prevent M company i'll tie
suit from settling and to delay the final
decision of the United States supreme
court.

The Rcport. Are IDl.colore,l.

The war-like dispatches from British
Columbia with regard to the expected
trouble between the United States and
Great Brit in over the Behring sea seal
fisheries are generally discrcdited by the
officers Of the navy department. Great
Britain has given assurances that she
would not commit any overt acts of vio-
lence in case her sealers were arrested
without warming this government of it's
intentions. Tho warnings that Great
Britain would by force dispute the SOW
ereignty in Behring sen had never been
communicated to the United States, and
this alone showed the improbability Of the
story.
Tho department of marine and fisheries
at Ottawa is without any official informa-
ton rs to the dispatch of the warships to
Dehrine sen bv either England or the
United States. No significance is at
tached by the head officials to tho rumored
diSpatch of those steamers.

The Americans Ahead.

A Berlin cable says: After the seventh
p!enary sitting of the Samoan conference
the American commission was in position
to cable Secretary Blaine a definite accept
ance by the German md English govern
ments of the Washington proposals limit
ing the German indemnity and Samoan
rights to levy import duties. and some of
MIR. Blaine's amendments to the clauses
relating to the internal Samoan policy.
The German commissioners nave invaria-
bly, yielded Whatever concessions America
has aske 4 in favor of Samoan autonomy.
On the other hand tine Americans have
conceded practically nothing, adhering to
their original claims. The general results
of the conference do not afford tho foreign
Office and official press a theme for con-
CALCULATIONS. The truth is that no special
honor will accrue to the German govern
mont from the result of the conference, so
it does not wish the matter to be kept be-
fore the public.

BY the Hamilton turnpike, in Ham

from College Hill, stands a very large
sycamore tree that was planted there
in 1882 by Alice and Phoebe Cary.
They were then eight and twelve years
old, and coming home from school one
day they saw a small tree a farmer had
grubbed and thrown away in the road.
This they planted and cared for as chill
