There are some 100000 acres OF land in
Oklahoma and about $4,000 people are said
to be on the border ready to start for the
promised land when the clock strikes IL on
the night Of the 2lst of April. 1000, 900 acres
would afford each of the immigrants farm
of 100 acres, land enough for one man to till.
SO assuming that only $4,000 people enter
there would be no crowdng, provided they
could all agree upon the lots each one should
occupy. But the land in Oklahoma is doubt
less like the land everywhere else-some of
1t desirable and some of it much less so. The
scramble will come for the possession of the
desirable farms, and unless there is some
force at hand to keep order. it is hardly pos
sible that the occasion will pass without
bloodshed. Among the $4,000 people wait.
ing to move there are undoubtedly many
hard characters who recognize no law bui
the law of might. The respectable and or
der-loving part Of immigrants are sure to be
at an immense disadvantage with these fel.
lows, unless there is some force adequate to
protect them.

The Washington Post warmly endorses
Congressman Reeds article in recent num-
Der of The Century calling for change of
the rules OF the House of Representatives,
and forcibly urges the next Congress to take
up the subject. The Post truthfully says
that under the existing system "but small
percentage of the pending business is dis
posed of notwithstanding the pay in salaries,
to their three hundred and twenty-five Rep
resentatiye, $3.250,0 600 during each Congress,
and millions more in expenses, for attending
to the necessary legislation of the country.
Meritorious bills are unconsidered, honest
debts left unpaid. and petitions from the
people treated with indifference and disre-
spect." The Importance Of this matter Is
not exaggerated in the slightest degree by
the Post, and the next Congress will be re
miss in its duty If it does not radically change
the present rules.

NEW YORK, July 17.-Nothing- has
been heard of Inventor Campbel's air
ship or It's navigator, Professor E. d.
Hogan, and their whereabouts are as
great a mystery as at midnight last
night The friends of Hogan are becom-
ing alarmed, and do not talk as conf
dent as they did last evening. A re-
porter found Mr.. Campbell this morning
anxiouslY awaiting the arrival of news of
the air ship. Inventor Campbell said he
had been up all night and had tele-
graphed the different points in Conneeti-
cult and Long Island inqulring whether
any one had seen queer looking and
oddly rugged ship. No one was able TO
give him any clew, and the inventor
looks careworn and anxious.
cit is all very mysterious, he said,
& a9lgisI am at a loss to account for it.
Shave not the slightest idea where Hogan
could have gone with the ship. He could
have come down even after he lost the
fan like propeller, as he had valve
rope and could have allowed the gas to
escape. It may be possible the valve
rope has broken. He had a knife along
with him, however, and he could have
climbed up the netting to the balloon
and cut q vent in it -

Iowa, June 5, one of the candy butchers,
whose name is unknown, accompanied a
painter named Weiner, on a trip about the
city, in which they became acquainted with a
Miss Agnes Marshall who is the daughter of
one of the wealthiest mine owners in Boone
county. The Snowman repeatedly tried to
induce Miss Marshall to go with him to the
next town in which the circus exhibited, but
was unsuccessful until he secured the aid of
Ethel Gray, a Salvation Army lady and one
OF her disciples, to assist him and then she
finally consented. provided Gray and her
companion would accompany, which they
readily promihed to do. After going to the
next stand, she was induced to continue
with him and in company with Ethel Gray
and Weiner, came to Fort Dodge to remain
until the show arrived. Sheriff Zenora of
Boone county, got trace Of them and the
Gray and Weiner women are in jail, while
Miss Marshall, in Zenora's custody, is en-
route to her parents in Boone. Zenora says
the affair is causing the greatest excitement

Frightful Accident in ireland.

train containing an excursion party from
Armagh, Ireland, has been wrecked near that
place. Over a hundred of the passengers
were injured. The excursion party left Armagh
in two trains. The accident occurred at
| point where the trains had to ascend grade
ON q bank fifty feet high. The scene which
ensued was heartrending. Hosts ofvolun-
teers were soon atshand, and the dead and
wounded were taken from the wreck and
carried down the bank. Medical aid was
called Tor and special train from
Belfast brought to the scene TWEEN.
! ty surgeons from that city and a
number of medical men from other places
between Belfast and Armagh. The disaster
is unparalleled i'll the railroad history of
Ireland. The accident has cast 81 gloom
over ARMAGH. All the shops were closed
and the people were in general mourning.
The engineer, fireman and guard of the train
and the traffic managers clerk were sum-
|, mo.ed before q magistrate and were re-
mandcd on the charge of being responsible
for the accident.
| A car driver named Hughes who visited
the scene of the disaster was SO Mortified at
the sight that he died on the spot. His corpse
was taken to Armagh in his own car. An
other account of the disaster says that the
engineer of the second train finding his en-
Egine powerless to pull the train up the steep
grade, unlinked several of the cars,
with the object Of taking the front por-
tion of the train to the next station and re-
turning for the remainder. Heavy stones
| were placed behind the wheels ofthe' detached
cars to prevent them from slipping, but the
locomotive on restraining gave the entire
! train a shunt that displaced the stones. Tie
result was that the detached cars began to
| slip backward down the grade, their speed
n,
afrightful velocity. After running four miles
| they crashed with terrific force into the third
train at point about mile and halffrom
Armagh.
The shrieks of the children were horrible.
| The bodies of the victims were arranged in
rows as soon as recovered. Many were man
| gled eyond recognition. There is scarcely
a family in Armaugh that has not some one
dead. The EN- bankment on which the acci.
dent occurred is seventy feet high Many
/ touching scenes We're witnessed. The children
bore their injuries with great patience.
