PRAIRIES IN FLAMES.
Ten Sections Burned Over Near Wichita.

Ten SECTIONS BufA0d OveR Near Wichita,
WICHITA, Kan, March "A prairie
dre started Saturday night in the neigh
bofhood Of the Rollins farm, twelve
miles northeast Of this city, and rapidly
spread before the high wind that was
blowing from the southeast Yesterday
morning the fire was beyond control and
was burning every thing in its path de-
spite the combined efforts Of all the
farmers that could be mustered to fight
the flames
The grass was about ten inches long
and as dry as finder and burned so rap
idly that the fight was confined to saw
ing farm buildings and not attempting
to stay the spread of the flames.
The house of William Ford. situated
about three miles from where the fire
started, was the first to be burned, and
it. with all the farm buildings, was to-
tally destroyed. From there the fire
travelled westward, spreading to the
north and south, and covering, at six
o'clock last evening, a territory Of ten
sections. in which every vestige of grass
was destroyed. and four farm houses
and the barns. stacks of hay and straw,
and cribs of corn were burned.
No lives have been lost, and so far as
has been learned no livestock was
burned. The country covered by the
fire is thickly settled. and the houses in
the line were only saved by strenuous
exertions of the farmers who plowed
burrows and threw up the dirt around
the buildings to stop the progress of the
fire.
At six o'clock last evening it was esti-
mated that not less than 500. 900 loss
had been suffered and the fire was rag
ing with undated fury and was being
driven by wind which was approach
ing gale in intensity. There are many
fine farms to the west of the line of the
fire and much uneasiness is felt over the
casualty. Water is very scarce, and, I'M
less rain comes soon, the fire will make
a clean sweep to the Colorado line. All
the livestock in the threatened section
has been removed from the path of the
fire and back fires are being started all
along the line in the hope of staying the
flames.

IN1RUDING WHITES.

They Drop In PrOmiscuously Upon the
Cherokees and ChOctaws.
FORT SMITH, Ark, March 24.-In the
past few months great numbers of white
people have moved into the Cherokee
and Choctaw Nations and settled on
land belonging to the Indians. Many of
the whites recently ordered off the
Cherokee Strip have joined the army of
intruders.
Captain W. L. Taylor, of Van Buren,,
states that in his judgment not less
than 500 families have in the last sixty
days left Crawford. Logan and Sebastian
Counties, this State, and settled in the
Cherokee and Choctaw Nations, and
there is at present a train Of wagons
almost continually going into the Indian
country.
These people believe it is only ques-
ton of time when all the surplus land
belonging to the Indians in the Terri
tory will be bought by the Government
and thrown open to settlement. Hence
their desire to be first on the field.
Chief Mayes, Of the Cherokees. and
the Governor of the Choctaw Nation
have called the attention of the Interior
Department to the fact Of the invasion,
but no attention has been paid to their
complaints nor has any effort been made
to remove the intruders.

doom, was run away with, little
above the engine house Oh Avenue {.
one of the single trees gave way and
the horses started at swift gallop
down Losoyo street with the plucky
driver holding them back as hard as
he could. They safely made the turn
at Dullnig's but collided with a
heavy express wagon directly in front
of the LIGHT office. This stopped
the hack, but the horses dashed up
East Commerce street. When the
two wagons coIlided. McSwain was
hurled violently to the ground, being
thrown upon his face and stomach.
Besides few bruises, he luckily es-
capped some severe injuries. The
hack was not much damaged.

THE DANOTAS IN A SAD PLIGHT.

Tue following editorial of the Phg- nix Gazette, perhaps, somewhat over drawn. conveys an idea of what Ari. zona would be handicapped by state. hood
 Private property and starvation are followed by public bankruptcy, Both legislatures are informed ny their re- spective governors that their debts al- ready exceed the limit fixed by their constitutions, and tue state instlu' tions are to be closed, Seldom have retrihuiions, humiliation and expos ure followed so close upon the heels ot a political buncomb, as in the case of the indlgent twins. Their admission with four senators, was made an issue of last year campaign, Their statis- ties were sophisticated, thelr resour- ces padded, and their selt->upporlng capabilities overstated for inc purpose of gaming two seats ln the ieaeIdl senate. As soon as they were admit ted the hat had to he passed around Tn other states to feed their starving peo. pie. But ,his was promptly repre- sented to be merely local matter and those who mentioned 1t as a comment on the recent tropical horn-oi-p -pien;y statistics were berated. Now comes the official admission of Governors Miller and Millette that private star vation goes hand.iuhan with public bankruptcy. All men know that such condition of affairs IS not consistent with good politics. Poverty and rot ten boroughs are the twin eorrupters of politics, and what the party in pow CT has gained m the two Dakotas Is a distinct loss to the whole country.
