THE HERDIc GOES.

minneapolis yyorlsingmen Resolve to Es-
tablish Herdic Lines in Opposition to
Lowry's street Cars.
MINSEAPoL1s, April 25.-An enthusi-
astc meeting of workingmen was held
last night at Harmonic hall to discuss
the feasibility of putting the herdic sys-
TEN in operation in Minneapolis in oppo-
sition to Mr.. Lowry street car lines. 1t
was decided that the plan was all right
and company will be organized. The
intention is to put fifty herdics or the
street as soon as $4,000 worth of stock
is subscribed and increase the number to
100 as fast as the capital is obtained. 1t
is calculated that 200 herdics will do the
greater part of the traffic of the town,
and more will be put on as fast as the
business warrants it. Over $4 900 worth
of stock was subscribed in the hall last
night. and a out $4,000 has already been
subscribed outside. Inaddition to these,
certain people have pledged themselves
to take 100000 worth if sl0O,OO0 cannot
be otherwise obtained.

CHICAGO, April 25.-A special to Fhe
Herald from Anderson, Ind. says: Sam
Van Pelt, an old soldier, is an applicant
for position as Indian agent at one of
the frontier posts. Mr.. Van Pelt was
member of Col. w. w. Dudley's regi-
ment. He wrote to Col. Dudley asking
that the latter assist him, and received
the following remarkable reply:
"My Dear Sam-Yours received.
need not tell you that it would be very
gratifying to me to see you get the In
dian agency. knowing, as l do, your
special fitness for the place and your
faithful service to your country in the
hour OF greatest need: but am sorry to
say that will be unable to render you
any assistance whatever with the presi-
dent. He has lost his backbone, and is
too cowardly to be seen consulting with
me, for the simple reason that the cop
perheads and rebels of Indiana have
.rumped up a lot of charges against me.
He seems entirely obvious to the fact
that it was through my efforts that In.
diana was saved to him.

KANSAS CITY, Mo-, April 25.--A train
of fourteen coaches crowded to the plat
forms with returning boomers pulled
into the union station over the Santa Fe

in the train, and nearly 200 more wanted
to go, but were obliged to wait for the
next train. Edward Gliven. at the head
of thirty-fve Illinois settlers, said to a
reporter: 1--WE We're on the first train
that arrived at Guthrie on Monday after
noon. We were not looking for town
sites, but for farm lands. We found
pretty fair lands in the river bottoms.

were leaving. The soil is red and locks
like brick dust. In fact, the greater

Two Townships of Timber Land in Wash
inston Causes n Scramble.
SEATTLE, Wash, April 23.-Several
hundred land seekers, pus ing, crowd
ing and swearing, was the scene that
greeted the eyes of the officials of the
land office when they opened the doors
of the office yesterday. The government
had some days since advertised two
townships of valuable timber land to he
thrown open to the public and that an
nouncemrnt was the cause of the mob.
The crowd began to form in line in front
of the land office in the evening and
stayed until dispersed by the police. Be-
fore daylight, however. claimants began
to collect again, and they maintained
their posts until all had made filings. In
most instances several filings have been
made on one piece of land and trouble is
expected when the different parties at
tempt to settle upon it.

DEFEATED in their efforts to rob

Auld and one or two others have
found another way to gain control of
Stark county. y petition is being
circulated asking that the county be
made into live commissioner districts.
The thing does not look SO had on its
face, but when it is is understood that
the law requires a petition by one
third of the voters and that the coun.

with the three commissioners. are re.
quired to meet and form the new dis

commissioners. it becomes very eyi
dent that the object is TO secure that
which they failed in by trying to
throw Commissioner Underhill out of
office. control of the board of com.
missioners and the people are inclined
to look with suspicion upon the move
on account of the extreme anxiety \
and evident eagerness of .Auld to ac
complish that end. Men are seldom
