WILL BE DISAPPOINTED.
Three-Fifths of the Land Said to be Practical
ly Worthless.

ThreeFi Of the Land Said to be Practical
ly Worthless.
B. B. Groom, large land owner and
president of Panhandle City in Northern
Texas, who arrived In Chicago Tuesday,
came through Oklahoma. He talked in
terestingly regarding the situation there.
He said:
II have studied the land of that coun-
try for several years and made numerous
trips over it in all directions. There is
an entire Misrepresentation as to it's value.
In places it is fertile, but it won't be
many days before the invaders will learn
the truth about it. These misapprehen-
sions grow largely out of talk originated
several years ago, about the fertility Of
Oklahoma. If you take the old Okla
hOma that the first boomers were working
for, you will find great tracts of excep-
tionally good land, but it is not Oklahoma
proper that these people are going into;
it is only a portion of it, 100000 acres
in nearly the center. In the strip of No
Mans Land, north of Texas, and in the
Chickasaw and ChOctaw reservations,
southeast of the present Oklahoma, are
stretches of land exceedingly rich. This
portion in the southeast was known to
piece of land almost as large as Oklahoma
and much better. This ground was what
started all the talk about the richness of
Oklahoma, but it is not the portion open
ed up for settlement"
"What about the territory opened, as to
its value for agricultural purposes?"
"Well, l estimate it this way" said Mr..
Groom, ''and 1 think I am a pretty good
Judge of land values. One-ffth is good,
enc fifth is only medi0m, and three-ffths
are practically worthless" Mr.. Groom
thought Oklahoma proper when it should
be opened would present very inviting
field for a home.
Mr.. Groom was asked what the Texans
of the Panhandle thought of the country
He said they are so close to it and so well
acquainted with it that very few of them
made an effort 10 get in at all. Those
who came over did so only to see the ex-
citemeDt. "Why, if we had wished" said
Mr.. Groom, sit would have been a very
easy thing to have gotten the very best
claims, aud from the west We would have
little trouble in getting into the country.
We did not do il, however, and the rest
will be glad enough to get away"

CHAPTER XXIv.-SAVED.

We were saved, but was so dazed with
the speed at which we had driven, the roll
ing of the ship, the rush of the wave, and
the tumult of the storm, so overweight
with excitement and suspense, that it took
we some time to realize the fact and to
make sure that the sea had done its worst
and that / might safely unloose myself
from the capstan.
So soon as | fully recovered my senses,
my first thought was of Queen Nab. She
was still dashed to the foremast-like my
self, drenched TO the skin; her long black
hair, which reached to her waist, hanging
loose over her shoulders.
Let me release you," said 1--WE are
aground on dry land, or land that soon will
be dry"

water came over me, and felt as IL we

and those | love"-here she looked at me
strangely-"never more, knew what was
meant by the bitterness of death. Yes, 1
am glad the danger is past; and 1 have to
thank you, and do. But where are we"
"That is more than l can tell-some-
where on the island, suppoSe?"
1--WE must be. But"-putting her hand
over her eyes and looking intently round

1 had already noticed that Nab looked
pale and worn, and now saw that she was
weak. AS we walked aft she had to lean
on me for support.

THE CENTENNIAL BALL.
1t Was One of the Grandest Affairs That New
York Has Ever Witnessed.

York Has Ever Witnessed.
NEW YORK, April 29-In the many
minds of those who are thronging New
York in the days of celebration, the
greatest feature of all is the grand CEN
tennial ball which took place at the
Metropolitan opera house tonight. All

pleasure to the six thousand peop pie, was
done, and the result sustained was salts.

the Broadway entrance soon after 8
O'Clock. The outer walks of the auditor
ium and the sides of the double stair
cases formed the three sides of the gar
den, and the trellised vines and
Towering shrubs added to the rural
effect, while real fruit trees were set
about in an artistic manner challenged
dis pute that one had just come from out
doors. There were apple trees il bios

trees with a strong suggestiveness of
fruitfullness, and cherry tree with every
evidsnce. except a

Rural decorations, included ounces and
prunes and grapes even, while liliacs and
continuous panorma of floral verdure

safe corners of the corridors stood still
rarer plants, and on each stair landing
was miniature grove of beauty.
Around on the Thirty-ninth street
side there was another garden, but
more artificial in appearance than
on the Broadway entrance. Immediate
entrances TO the great dancing floor were
Kept clear for obvious reasons.
There is no word that better describes
the first sensation one experienced on
entering the vast auditorium tonight than
to say that it was dazzling. From the
center of the dome long streamers radi-
ated TO the side walls and all around the
tiers of boxes and balconies as we'll there
was wealth of decoration such as never
before has been attem pied in New York.
Little knots of colors and picturesque

pretty columns not only enhanced the
general effect, but the costumes them

fastened with wreaths and flowers while

SUICIDE OF AN INSANE MAN.

On Account of His FAILURE to Get a Claim he
Shoots Himself.
WINFIELD, Kan, A pril 25.-An unknown
mall, apparently crazy, startled pedes
trians this afternoon, by drawing a razor
across his throat, inficting slight cash.
Later he shot himself through the head
and died this evening. From papers
found it was learned that he was Silas B.
Kennedy, of Ruma, Randolph county,
Illinois. Two men in the city, today,
said they had accompanied Kennedy
from s.. Louis TO Gutherie, and all three
had failed TO get claims. l. was supposed
that the dead mans mind was deranged
by the failure.

Another Swell Suicides in Full Dress at New

NEW YORK, April 25.-OiVer Perry
Lewis, aged 81, drowned himself today in
the Central park reservoir, dressed in
claw-hammer coat, white tie and other
habiliments of full dress. Before drown
ing he fixed the day and hour of
his funeral and had himself sent out
notices to his friends asking them to at
tend it. 1t is supposed he could not sup
port his mother as he wished on mis- salary

DOCTOR SCHLlEMANN.
The Wonderful Linguistic Achievement
of the Great Excavator.

The wonderful Linguistic Achievements
of the Great Excavator.
Doctor Schliemanu. whose chief
claim to fame rests upon his cXcava-
tions of the sites of classical Greek
cities, possesses in II remarkable de-
gree the the ''gift of tongues" In an
interesting account OF the struggles OF
his early life-he was born of poor
parents in Mecklenburg village-re-
Gently given at Il meeting held in his
honor mt Heidelberg, the explorer de-
scribed the steps by which he became
an accomplished linguist.
He conceived a strong desire to learn
Greek from having, when IA shop-boy,
heard drunken man, who had been
well brought up, recite some lines OF
Homer. In 1S4l Schliemann, who had
betaken himself to seafaring life,
was wrecked on the coast of Holland,
and barely escaped with his life.
He then obtained u situation in an
Office at Amsterdam, and Immediately
set himself, though having little time
and less money to pay teachers, to
master the languages he was bent on
acquiring.
BY his own efforts and by his own
method which was boldly to begin to
write language, and when possible to
get friend to correct his productions
he learned English in six months,
French in another six months, and
passed on to Dutch, Spanish, Italian
and Portuguese.
Then he attacked Russian, which, OF
course, gave him more trouble, but
brought its great reward, tor it opened
to him the road to Russian commerce,
in which he attained wealth OF which
he had never dreamed.
After this he mastered Polish, Swed-
ish, Greek ancient and modern, Latin
and Arabic. Though some of these
languages are, of course, scarcely more
than dialects of an original stem, the
list is portontous enough to challenge
attention.
1t is claimed for Cardinal Mezzofanti
that he was master OF about seventy
languages, but by many the claim has
been disputed. Incidentally Doctor
Schliemann mentioned that he had not
yet done with excavations. He next
intends TO make some experiments iu

Kuhn, the Young German Charged with

rose, WIS.,, Returns from Europe in
Charge of an Onicer.
New YORK. Feb 1S.--Sheriff John M. Estes,
of Madison, Wis, arrived ON the steamer
Britannia Saturday with Hans Kuhn young
man. who was recently arrested in Queens
town charged with the murder of his
employer, William Christian, n cheese
maker in Primrose, Dane County, Wis,
on the night of December Is. Kuhn
was found in his steerage berth hidden
under some clothing. He still had in his
possession bloody knife and two valises,
in which he is supposed to have carried
away part of his alleged victims body. The
sheriff and his prisoner started West at
once. Kuhn has no fears that he will be
hanged, for he says there is no hanging law
in Wisconsin. He chuckles over the pros
pect of living at the States expense for the
rest of his life.
Kuhn, II is said, was known in Wisconsin
as u horse-thief. He asked for and received
shelter one night in the house OF the country
man whom he murdered lie got by the
murder 400 in cash and an old silver watch.
Kuhn, IT is alleged, got Christian drunk, dragged
him from his house to his cheese factory
next door, laid him in Il vat, split open his
head with an axe and cut up his body. He put
the head in sack and the rest of the body into
two valses. He dropped the sack INTO lake
near by, and hired man to help him carry
the yalises TO Monroe. On the way the man
got blood on his hands and clothes. Kuhn
told him that the sachels contained
newly shot rabbits. Kuhn took the cars
ut Monroe for New York, and sailed from there
on the steamship Lord Cough. Christian was
thought TO be away on spree until eight days
after the murder, when two boys, while fish.
