GREENvn.LIANs REJOICE.
They Believe That the Worst Is
Over


GREENvILLE. Miss, March lit
stopped raining here last night and to-
day the sun came out, giving us the first
bright day we have had for over week.
There Is a more cheerful feeling here
to-day, Notwithstanding the river has
risen one inch since last night, and it is
now believed the worst is over.
Mai. William Startling returned to-day
from trip over the levees below Green
vile. He is sanguine and has full con-
fidence that the levees will stand the
rise coming. The system of guarding
and protecting the loWlands and weak
places in the leyees is perfect, and al
most any force of labor could be had at
a moments notice. The Louisville,
New Orleans & Texas railroad has
special engine and train here
placed at the disposal of the
ievee board. A number of places in
the levee district can be reached by rail
both north and south, and the train will
be great convenience IN reaching a
point in short order should it be neceS-
sary to use it. The levee board also
have tugs and boats at their command
and are well equipped for fighting the
common enemy. Notwithstanding the
wild and sensational reports which
have been telegraphed from this
place in regard to the criti-
cal condition of the Ievee there is not
cause for alarm, and the people are very
confident, and business is almost as
good as it was before the danger from
the high water became apparent. One
or two correspondents have delighted
in wiring matter that was calculated to
alarm and intimidate the public, but
the truth of the matter is that they
have been drawing largely upon their
Imagination. There has been rise
of one to two inches at all
points except Myerville. where the river
is stationary. The weak place in the
levee at Myerville, the repairing of
which has been in charge OF Capt.
Hyner, is now secure, and the repair
force will be withdrawn tomorrow. We
have news from the other side of the
river. and it is evident that all is serene
with our Arkansas neighbOrS,

zation SSl demand reduction of wool
duties and their adjustment on a more
equal basis. They will establish per-
manent headquarters probably in this

RUSHING TOWARD THE MECCA.
ARKANSAS CITY, Kan, March 49,
Since the news came last night that the
bill passed the house declaring the
Cherokee strip public domain, the city
has been a scene of wild excitement
with the boomers III their excitement
running to and fro half dressed. making
preparations to start at daybreak for the
strip. Before the sun was up, the
whole of the city was wild with excite
ment: and a continuous stream OF peo-
pie Of every description, from the poor
est tramp to the speculative real estate
agent, men, women and children of
every nationality, has been pouring
into the strip. The news comes from
the strip that the cattle have already
been stampeded, frightened at the UNI
usual scene. and have become unman-
ageable. The cattlemen are in great
straits to know what to do with their
stock, inasmuch as the force OF men at
their command is nothing before the
irresistible stream of immigration. BY
sundOWn tonight 10000 people will
have entered the strip with the Inten:-
ti0n of staying there at all hazards. and
nothing short of the regular United
States army can drive them away from
the Mecca towards which they have
been struggling for so long.

DULUTH, March 14.-Peter Savelte or
Surratt, proprietor of a general store at
Cloquet, was robb ed last evening in an
audaci0uS manner. About S:l5 O'Clock,
when his store was deserted and he was
about to close up for the night, a man
with white cloth over his face walked
in, and, showing big revolver in the
storekeeper's face, said: "Give ME al
your money or I'll blow your brains
out" The affrighted storekeeper
opened his safe, pulled out the cash
box, and i'll the excitement upset the
tray, spilling the contents upon the
floor. The robber hastily gathered
what bills there were. and while pick
ing up some of the cold coins was scared
by anoise outside and hastily fed. Savet-
te was so frightened that he cannot give
alucid description of the man or amount
of money lost. The man has not been

BISMARCK, N. D., March 14.-The de-
feat of the lottery bill has knocked
about all the life out of legislative pro-
ceedings, but there is still disposition
on the part of the Legislators to make it
interesting. The attorney general did
not heal matters much to-day by his
answer to the inquiry of the auditor as
to the right to issue warrants for the
per diem of the members and officers of
the legislature during the holiday re-
cess. Since the last opinion of the attor-
ney general to the effect that the SeS-
sion is continuous from the time it con-
venpd prior to the election of United
States senators, it has been supposed
that he could not hold to his former
opinion that the members are not en-
titled to pay for the recess.
In this he was consistently in
consistent, and although holding that
the session is continuous he insists that
the members are not entitled to pay for
the recess. The matter will probably
be taken into the courts. The house to-
day passed the bill allowing citizens in
unorganiZed counties to vote, and
passed over the governors veto the bill
taxing property in those counties. 1t is
expected that there will be a bitter fight
in the senate on the passage of the bill
over the veto. and it is also expected
that the governor will veto the bill al
lowing citizens in unorganized counties
to vote, it having been clearly shown
that his faction fears it cannot control
the votes in these counties. Although
there is lull at present there is pros
pect for stormy times before the final
adjournment.

kee boomers congregated about this city
numbered about 500 and started off for
the strip at noon, not having heard
until that hour the news of the passage
through the house of the Oklahoma

move a big prairie fire in the outlet was
discovered to be raging. 1t was thought
that it may have been set by the cattle
people to drive back the settlers. So
anxious, however, were the boomers to
reach the outlet that not even fire could
stop them and they proceeded hope
fully on their way, avoiding the fire 10y

WASHINGTON, March 14.-In the
house to-day Mr.. Perkins stated that an
erroneous impression had go ne out that
according to the provisions of the Okla
homa bill passed yesterday the Chero-
kee outlet had been declared open to
settlement under the homestead laws.
The statement should have been that
the public land strip-not the Cherokee
outlet-had been opened to settlement.
The Cherokee outlet, he said, was enl-
braced within the limits of the new ter
ritory, but was not open to settlement
under the homestead law. The house
then went into committee of the whole

thorizlng the president to retire Gen.

present indications are that the river

foot above that at Friars Point, Miss.
Below Old Town the water will be but
little above 1886. Above the Ar kansas
river the highest point will be reached
about the 26th. The Arkansas river is
now more than two feet higher than
ever known, and the levees on

is over, but the overflow into the Tensas
