Judge Fitzgerald moved that 1t be

ing the Worlds Fair in Chicsgo, and
there was no need of delaying action.
Major Burke followed in fsW remarks,

HOUSEHOLD,

THE USES OF LEMONS Lemons
are q most valuable fiuit, not only for
cooking but also for medicinal purposes
and the toilet. II the juice Of q lemon
is taken every morning before break
fast for two or three weeks, in the
spring time, it will prevent the disa-
greeable feeling OF weakness and want
Of energy peculiar to this season.
Lemon juice, made thick with sugar
and q little salt, will relieve hoarseness
and q hacking cough. A piece Of lemon
peel, with pulp attached, II bound upon
a corn, will relieve it in q few days. 1t
is also an excellent remedy for chllls
and fever, and II a teaspoonful Of sugar
and a large pinch of salt is stirred up
with the pulp and eaten with a spoon
every morning, will break up malaria
troubles. AS = cosmetic. it is of great
service in removing freckles and sun
burn. Apply the pulp and Juice at
night to the face and hands, and wash
off in water In the morning. 1t is also
valuable for its power to detect any
dangerous ingredients in cosmetics,
powders or liquids. Place a teaspoon
full Of the cosmetic In a wineglass, and
squeeze some lemon juice upon it; If 1t
effervesces. it is a sure proof that the
cosmetic is dangerous, and would ut
terly ruin the complexion. For small
pox it is also highly recommended. the
patient being allowed to drink freely Of
the lemonade. and to suck the clear
juice, If palatable. In all fevers, the
juice OF lemons is of decided assistance.

OKLAHOMA OPENED.
I thousands Of People Flock Into the
Coveted Country.

FORT SMITH, April 22.-Oklah0ma
was opened at noon to-day, and into
the promised land rushed the boomers.
There were several fights by night
between the troops and the different
squads Of intending settlers. At the
first signs of daybreak the vast army Of
boomers began breaking camp prepara-
tory to rushing across the border.
Several hours before the appointed
time immense trains of white-topped
wagons, headed by feet ~cavalcades Of
horsemen, were far within the limits
fxed by the law. The small bands Of
sentries and guards on the eastern and
southern borders were utterly unable
to check the mighty tide of men that
poured into the Promised Land.
Although heavily reinforced during the
night by regular troops from Fort Reno
and by the Indian police from the
Creek Nation, the guards were beaten
back like straws before the wind.
So far as known only two col.
lisions between the guards and boomers
were attended with fatalities, but in
these two men and one woman
were killed Fully 500 boomers
were surprised in, attempted night
marches and compelled to retreat.
Crooks, blacklegs. swindlers and ras-
Gals Of all kinds are in Oklahoma now,
and they are practicing among all
classes OF boomers. The thieves are in
no hurry to move ahead, but content
to stay with the masses. Instead OF
one man having been sandbagged and
robbed at Purcell. it is SAID a hundred
have been similarly treated all along
the border. Many are swindled in less
violent ways by pretended officers, who
secure money from claimants to leave
them alone on their land.
