A BIG RUSH HERALDEO.
Homosteaders Getting Ready TO swoop
Down on the Strip.

A dispatch from Kansas City, Mo, to
the New York Herald states that circular
has been distributed broadcast over the
Indian Territory and Southern Kansas
from the Office OF the Cherokee strip
Homesteaders' Association, OF Guthrie,
Oklahoma. Arkansas City. Winfield, and
Caldwell, which says:
THE cattle men having been ordered to
remove their herds by October lst. or
sooner if required, and there being an i'm
mense number of homeseekers who arc
clamOring for home Ill the vast domain,
which is now wholly given over to the
cattle barons to the exclusion of thousands
of worthy settlers, it has been deemed eX-
pedient for the prospective settlers TO or
Cauize an association having for purpose
the INVASION of the Cherokee outlet by "A
prearranged plan and contracted move
ment.
Accordingly, on the ODD day of April,
1890, at the hour of nOOn-being the ami
versary of the opening of Oklahoma to
scttlement--an INVASION will be made IN
the Cherokee Strip or outlet by settlers
from the various colonies. The settlers
are entreated not to make the attempt be
fore the hour named, for this action would
incur the danger of successful opposition
by the military while on the other hand,
by grand invasion of thousands on the
gives entire sympathy, will take cognizance
Of the magnitude OF the movement and
suffer us TO remain unmoested.
1--WE have assurances that whilo the Ad
ministration would feel bound to oppose
the entry of struggling boomers into the
outlet before the time set, an invasion in a
great body with their families would not
be opposed or disturbed by President Har-
rlson.
Cherokee delegates being now in Wash
ington, negotiations with the Indians
would be speedily cOnsummated by paying
the Indians a fair price for the Cherokee
Strip"
Incoming trains continue to take crowds
into oklahoma, and much enthusiasm Is
manifested.
The Homesteaders' association, which
issued the circular, is secret organization,
the leaders of which are unknown 10 the
general public. The organization is doing
its work with the utmost secrecy. so as to
avoid the penalty for On illegal entry into
the forbidden lands.
Captain CayanaGh, in command of the
troop stationed at the border, has as vet
received no orders from Washington, nor
does he expect TO receive any until an in
vasion is Of enough magnitude to warrant
interference by the military. The boom
ers believe if they can once get the strip
settled up witha family on every claim the
troops Will be inadequate to the task OF re-
moving them

His last importation was a little southern

when she asked him for money to pay her

its $1,000 salary.
Wednesday congregational meeting
was held to take action upon the reslGne-

taken sides on the question and gotten
into parliamentary tanglo which lasted
for some time. There was nothing sad on
the main question, however.
After a sharp exchange of compliments,
resolutions recommending that MOnonga-
hela Presbytery dissolve the pastoral rela-
