Aa1ndianapOlis Book Store.

INDIANAPOLIS, March 19.-The Bowen
Merrill book store caught fire, resulting in
the death of four members of the city fire
epartment-George Faulkner, George
Glenn, Ulysses Glazier and Al Hoffman.
A dozen more were hurt, some of them
seriously.
The building occupied by the book COM
pany was four story and basement marble
front building, facing Washington street Just
west of Meridian. The fire started shortly
before O'Clock near the furnace in the sub
basement. The fire department, when 1t
arrived, seemed at loss to locate the fire
and began pouring water into the building
at the front, when the seat of the trouble was
in the rear. For two hours the fight had con-
tinued in this way, until a majority of the
spectators had left under the impression that
the fire was out. About 5:35, however, there
was a terrible crash and the entire building
except the front wall fell inward. At the
time a number of firemen were on the roof
of the building and were buried in the debris,
which was piled forty feet high within the
walls of the burned building.

A REPORTER witnessed an extraordi-
nary scene in the vicinity of Biddleville,
n. G. In front of small cabin pull
pit had been erected. In this stood a
negro preaching" at the top ofhis voice.
There was no one except the reporter
and the preacher near, and the former
stood and listened, but was not noticed
by the speaker. On inquiry it was
found that the preacher was Robert
Bell. Two years ago he was fred from
the pastorate of the Presbyterian
Church at BiddlevilIe because he would
go into his church barefooted. He was
warned against this offense. and heed
ing it not, one Sunday, as he attempted
to ascend his pulpit shoeless, half a
dozen good, pious deacons seized him
and fred him from the church. On
that day Bell declared that h< would
preach three times every day in his own
yard, and he does it, although no one
goes to hear him.

LAUNDERING BOOMERS.
They Read a False Dispatch and Stampede
at All Points, Over the Line, to
Occupy the Cherokee Strip,
From Both Sides.
The Stampede Communicated to $4,000
Cattle, and They Are Still Running
Fences Cut, Prairie Grass burned
Some Go in Empty Handed

KANSAS CITY, Mo-, March 1S.-The occur
rences of the past few days along the south
line of Kansas, bordering on the Cherokee
strip, or outlet, have been such as the world
has scarcely ever seen.
On Friday afternoon the wires brought the
news that the bill to form territory to in
clude Oklahoma, the outlet, No Mans Land
and certain smaller reservations, set the
thousands of camping boomers near the sew
eral towns in Kansas, near the line, and in
Oklahoma frantic.
The passage of the bill had sbeen antici-
pated, and was not surprise, but sad blum
der was made in the dispatch. The bill de-
clares No Mans Land public lands, open to
homestead settlement, but as the dispatch
read this declaration was made applicable to
the Cherokee outlet instead of No Mans
Land.
A stampede resulted: boomers everywhere
breaking camp and hurrying to lands already
selected, or taking their chances in stalking
claims wherever quarter section could be
first reached that was unoccupied.
Hundreds went with no preparation for
subsistence or shelter. The stampede reached
and carried away very many citizens
who had not before contemplated leaving
their Kansas possessions for the uncertainties
of the opening of a new country.
AS the country along the line of the state
become crowded with the advancing crowds,
the cattle on the strip stampeded, going
madly anywhere to get out of the way, and
communicating their crazy fear to such herds
as they approached until general stampede
was on.
AS the boomers reached the wire fences en-
closing the great pastures of the cattlemen's
association they cut and destroyed them; and
in all directions the grass was fired, giving
the landscape the appearance of a mad march
of demons.
All night the crowds came to the line and
passed in to possess the land, and during the
succeeding days the crowds did not get much
less.
The trains of the Santa :.Fe railroad were
crowded with men with spades and claim
stakes as their only outfits, the most of them
without anything provided to eat.
Several small shanty towns were built dur
ing the first twenty-four hours, at previously
selected points, and stocks of provisions
opened for sale, but supply was limited and
prices paid in accordance.

The Supply Exceeds the Demand.

CHICAGO, March 19.-In his interesting and
carefully prepared statement regarding the
history of the emergency corn rate, made be-
fore Interstate Commerce Commissioners
Morrison and Veasey, Chairman Walker
said, after detailing the antecedent efforts to
obtain this concession from the railroads:
''The result has turned out as we feared.
The price of corn Immediately fell, and the
entire reduction Injured to the benefit of the
consumers. who were not complaining.
"In my Judgment, under the conditions of
the present winter the question of price OBJ
tainable for the food products of Kansas and
Nebraska has no relation whatever to the
rates of transportation charged thereon. So
long as the supply largely exceeds the de-
mand and the effort to sell is persistent, the
price will remain in the hands of the buyers
and the consumers only will be benefited by
the reduction in tariff rates. If the state of
the market were different, conditions might
exist in which reductions in the transporta-
ton charge would benefit the producers of
the grain. So long as the pressure to sell
continues, and the market is weak, any at
tempt to regulate the tariffs for the advan-
tage of the producer Will necessarily result
in failure.

Trains Loaded With the Invaders Return
ing From the Strip.

GUTHRIE, /. T., March 19.-The trains are
loaded down with boomers leaving the strip.
The presidents psoclamation has had the
desired effect, and coupled with the order
for the military to act speedily, has caused
the spirits of the boomer to drop and droOp.
A large number took the trains to Arkansas
City, and about 100 came to this point. The
false reports have caused a great deal of suf-
fering to the poor people who fiocked to the
new country. Many sad scenes took place
when the fact was made known that the
boomer would have to vacate. The exodus
commenced Immediately. Some have not
the means of getting off the strip, and as a
consequence will remain there until the
troops escort them out.
Inquiry at the military headquarters here
ELECTS the information that when six compa-
MES arrive here they will be dispatched in a
body to the Cherokee line and there cut up
into detachments and deplOyed in line that
will probably cover twenty miles. Very
little, of course, can be pumped from the
commandant, but enough has been learned
to warrant the statement that this skirmish
line will cross through the strip over sixty
miles wide as rapidly as possible, and then
by flank movements to the right and left they
will return to Oklahoma. By this means the
entire strip will be cleared in less than two
weeks.

SOME time ago Joseph J. Speck, OF
Kansas City, learned of the existence of
a certain alleged miraculous stone
found in Southern India, which would
heal wounds of all kinds, particularly
snake and dog bites, and any sore
from which hydrophobia or lockjaw
might result. To learn more of the
wonderful curative powers of the stone,
Mr.. Speck addressed letter to ma
tive of Bombay. The Hindoo replied
that the stone is supposed to be found
in a serpant's head, and is rarer and
more valuable than the most costly
gem. The Hindoos and the wild, saw
age natives place great faith in its
power, and guard it as sacredly and
carefully as they do their idols and
gods of metal. The owner of this par
ticular stone advertised it and offered
it for sale in an American newspaper,
and it was this advertisement that Mr..
Speck saw. The owner of the stone
wants $4,000 for it.

Mrs. JESSE CASTRO, an aged Mexican
lady, who recently died at American
Flag, in the Santa Catalina Mountains,
Arizona, was, perhaps, the only woman
in the world who ever cost her husband
her weight in gold. In the early gold
digging days of California she was a
resident of Sonora, Mexico, in which
State she was born and grew to woman
hood. When about seventeen years of
age paternal uncle, but a few years
her senior, returned gold-laden from the
newly discovered mines, and soon fell
desperately in love with his niece. He
sought her hand in marriage and was
accepted, but the church refused, on
account of the near relationship of the
pair, to solemnize the marriage. Per-
suasion being in vain, he tried the
power of gold to win the Church his
way, and succeeded only by payment of
her weight in gold. She at that time
weighed III pounds. and against her in
the scales the glittering dust was
shoveled. The husband still had
enough of this worlds goods to provide
a good home

Illinois Wheat Crop Seriously Damaged.

Illinois Wheat Crop Seriously Damaged.
SPRINGFIELD, Ill, March 19.-Never in
the history of wheat raising in the state of
Illinois has the prospect for a good crop
changed more materially than within the
past ten days. Up to the 9TH of March the
winter had been mild and the wheat plant
was never in a more healthy and apparently
prosperous condition. The favorable weather
and the time of year having arrived it was
just ready for a vigorous start on a spring
growth. The plant was full of healthy sap,
which had raised to such an extent that 1t
was very susceptible to the hard frost when
it came. The freeze of week or more ago
was more fatal than it was at the time sup
posed. In fact the freeze of Friday and Sat
urday nights has been even more severe on
the crop than that of the previous week. Re-
ports from counties in the central part of the
state that came in on Saturday indicate that
damage to the crop is very serious.

Nebraska's Governor Talks Plainly to the
Railroad Men.

Thayer has addressed second letter to the
railroad managers on the corn rate question.
He reviewed the history of the agitation. and
declared that the gamblers, speculatoS and
dealers in futures have absorbed the 10 per
cent. reduction granted, and the farmers have
had no benefit therefrom. He makes anoth-
er demand for 10 per cent. rate per 100
pounds from Nebraska points to Chicago,
and after contrasting the prosperous condi-
ton of the railway with that of the poverty
stricken farmer, he declares that the people
of Nebraska don't want to fight the railways.

mands are refused, and say this, not by
way of a threat, but as friendly warning"
