FIELDS OF FIRE.
How the Blaze Spread in the Cherokee
Strip-A Graphic Report.

TOPEKA, March l8.-From private dis.
patches just received by one OF the Chero.
kee Strip Live Stock association members
from their agents along the border from
Arkansas City west to Englewood, $50
miles, it is learned that the entire
Cherokee Strip, slXty-siX miles vide,
from the Arkansas river to "No Mans
Land" " has been burned of by band OF
cOnsprators who are working in the liz
terests of the boomers.
An eyewitness OF the destructive
prairie fire says that when the fire started
deep red glow was seen springing up
on all sides, lighting up the heavens with
a lurd glare. Gradually the glow deep
ened to blood-red, and the sky, which
was unobscured by single cloud, be-
came covered with smoke. As far as the
eye could reach was sea of curling
flames. The great clouds of smoke as
cended gradually to the zenith and were
waited northward by gentle breeze.
What was at first supposed to be a
drove OF antelope caught in the fire
proved, on closer inspection, to be an
organized band OF mounted men. who
were engaged in kindling fresh fires in
the tall grass.
A BARREN WASTE.
The country is now devoid of vegeta-
ton. 1t is one great barren waste. Wild
animals OF all kinds fled bv the thousands
before the advancing flames. BY lighting
black fires the boomers managed to
evade the fearful effects Of the flames.
The idea was theirs and it was a precon-
certed plan to rid the strip of 200, 900 cat
tie and remove the greatest barrier to inn
mediate settlement OF the country.
A cowboy at Ponra reported that not
only had the cattle stampeded maddened
by the flames, but the game, large and
small, which failed to escape, fell prev
to the flames. Bands OF Jack rabbits fled,
herds Of antelope bounded away with the
speed OF the wind and even the reptiles of
the earth crawled across the plains bv
thousands in vain endeavor to save
their lives, while flocks of birds scared in
mid air aud sufiocated by the smoke fell
to the ground and were deyoured by the
tlamas.
The cattle men had hoped to enjoy un-
disputed possession OF the lands by vir-
tue Of their lease with the Indians until
October | next, the date set by President
Harrison for the final removal OF the
cattle.
At a meeting OF the principal directors
of the cattle company it was decided that
the cattle would be given into the hands
of the Kansas farmers to be fed until the
grass on the Kansas plains has sufficient
growth to make good pasturage
The. president Of the Kansas Live Stock
Sanitary commission, in this city, was
appealed to to-day bv wire to at once call
Il meeting Of the board to suspend the
quarantine against the importation of
Texas cattle, and in all probabilities this
will he done at once.

Served Longer than Jacob.

w. A. Pollard, farmer who lives
i'll this county, was in the city Il few
days ago, and to some of his friends
he told tho following story, which is
vouched for by those living in his
neighborhood: About nineteen years
ago Mr.. Pollard hired himself to the
late Alex. Spillcrs, d well-to-do far
mcr of this county. The first month
he received suit of clothes as pay.
Mr.. Pollard was then employed per-
1nanently rs farm hand He had
been with Mr. Spillers but short
time when girl child was born to
Mrs. Spillers. An hour after it was
born Mr.. Pollard asked Mr.. Spillers
to give him tho child rs his wife when
sho arrived at the proper age. MIR.
Spillers consented, and said if Mr..
Pollard stayed with him he should
have his daughter at sixteen. Through
sixteen years the young man worked
with his employer and at sixteen
claimed the young lady as his tiance
and was soon after married to her.
He is now the father of two children,
and at Mr.. Spillers death he left
his son-in-law $1,000 in cash foI'
the sixteen years he had so patient
ly waited for his wife.-Greenville

Striking and Working Cloak Makers
Strike Sure Enough-An Excl ng Scene
In New York's Chief Thorough are.
New YORK, July "A crowd of
about 200 striking cloak makers
gathered Oh Broadway between
Leonard and White streets this
morning at tho hour when the hands
in the Meyer ~ Jannasscn shops at
334 and the Mercantile Cloak Com
pany's place at 394 Broadway were
going to work. These firms are two
of the largest in the trade and are
battling in the front row of the EN-
ployers' Association against the strik-
ers' demands. When their employ
ees tried to enter the shops they
were surrounded by strikers who
forbade them with vehement gesticu-
lations to enter Some were fright
ened away by the crowd and escaped
while those who persisted in the
effort to enter the shops were seized
and hustled away by force. In Il few
minutes Broadway for two blocks
was the scene of Il dozen running
fights. For a short time the strikers
had it their own way but soon the
assailed men pluckily fought back.
AS q consequence damaged heads
among the strikers were plentiful.
The working cloak makers, however,
generally got the worst of it. Around
Meyer & Janassen's shops the war
ragged the most fiercely. A dozen
strikers caught Charles Butler, stock
clerk, and dragged him backward off
the steps and maltreated him.
JOS. Lerberger, buyerfo the house,
was beaten. An old operator named
Quincy was set upon and so badly
beaten that he had to be driven home
in cab.
William Wisner, another operator,
received several scalp wounds. He
was taken to the Chambers Street
hospital for treatment. Neither pis-
tolls nor knives were used in the
melee, the only weapons being tirsts
and dubbed umbrellas.
When the police arrived in force
they had no difficulty in dispensing
the mob. They used their clubs
freely. Mr. Moorcroft, of the cloak
firm, said he hadno idea that violence
would be used. He had supplied the
places of the strikers, he said, and
work was progressing rs usual

A Whole Township Missed.

A Raleigh dispatch asserts that nc
census of South Greensboro, Gull
ford county, N. O., which has popu
lation of three thousand, has beer
taken, and one township in the
county had no cnumerator. In the
township in question n Democratic
applicant for appointment as cnum
orator was appointed over the Re
publican applicant. Soon after he
got to work he was notified of his re
moval and ordered to turn his books
over to the Republican, but the lat
ter refused tOacccpt the appointment,
and consequently no census has been
taken in that township. There arc
similar complaints from all over that
census district. Superintendent Por-
ter would have done better III this
census business if he had paid more
attention to competency and less to
politics in the selection Of supervisors
and enumerators.- baltimore Sun.

The People Will Not Stand It.

The American people, North anG
South, will not submit to being bull
dozed and dictated to. Our cduca
ton for 100 years has made us intol
Grant OF colnpulsion and of autocratiC
methods. Fair play is the first prin
clple of tho American citizen, and
this bill violates fair play in every
provision. If it becomes law, and
there is no reason to anticipate that
1T will not, it will be law that will
never be put into effect. The Su-
preme Court will not sustain it and
the people will not stand it. Tom
Reed and his gang Of buccaneers may
force it through Congress, but they
cannot mako the American people
swallow it.-Louisville Post.

COUNTING UNCLE SANS NOSES.
Machines That Beat tho Human Brain In
Computing Returns

Computing Returns
! WASHINGTON, July y10.-Nicc- looking
girls i'll clean, white aprons are the
busy hands in a machine shop on the
third floor of Ninth street building.
Il is the census bureau, and the girls
work on those wonderful counting
machines, which come so near human
intelligence i'll computing the returns
sent from all sections of this big
country for the census of 1890. At
first glance the machines remind one
of an upright piano. They have hand
some oak cases and each one occu-
pies about the same space n piano
does. They are, however, eminently
practical machines, and with their
aid some fifteen young ladies can
count accurately 100000 names a
day. 1t is expected that when the
work of counting the census returns
really begins there will be seventy or
eighty of these machines at work.
The returns from the census dis
tricts throughout the country are
coming in slowly. There are moro
than $4,000 of these districts, and so
far only about $500 districts have
sent i'll the returns. AS fast rs the
returns come in they are counted, al.
though not as rapidly as they will be,
as it is necessary to train the young
ladies III the use of the machines. In
making this count, which is known as
the trough count" the returns for
each district are counted twice. After
beng counted on one machine they
are passed over to another, and when
the latter count is completed the two
are compared, and if there are dis
crepancles necessary corrections are
made. Following this method, if the
total population of the country is
60,00O,O00 there will be counted in
the census Office an equivalent to
1870, 100000 names.
The machines, which are the irlven-
ton of Mr.. Hollerith, and supplement
his tabulating machines, are very
simple. A key board, resembling
that of a typewriter, is Mt the right
OF tho operator. Each key has Il
number from one to twenty. The
operator has a pile of census sched
ules at her left side, and, as she turns
the schedules over, she notes the
| hSphCo NhlCu llltlCttIc UIlc NUMBER OF
members in each family enumerated
i'll that schedule. If there are five in
n family she strikes the key marked
five. When n key is struck IN cleo
trio connection is established with
the hands on dial in the frame work
in front of the operator.
That dial is marked No. 5, which
means it records the number of fami-
lies consisting of five persons. Each
time the No 5 key is struck No. dial
records one. When the count is
completed the recorded number on
each dial is multiplied by the num-
ber of the dial, the results added up
and the total number Of individuals
in that district is ascertained. If the
result is obtained by different oper-
ator, then it is concluded that the
count is correct. It is expected that
by the use of these machines the re-
suits of the census will be known
much sooner than by any other known
method.
