GUTHRIE, o. T., Sept. 22.-Simulta-
neOusly with the arrival Of the hour
of noon the bomeseekers gathered on
the border and made a heaIlOPg rush
over the line into the coveted country
and onto the quarter sections upon
which their eyes had been fesstiug for
some days and others for months and
week.. The rush was a mad one,
made 30 by the fact that the number
of homeseekers greatly excs cseded the
number of quarter sect ons availAtle
for settlement. There is room on the
lands for about 5000 settlers, allowing
16O acres for each. There were on the
border waiting to claim available land
fully 1900 people; so that there wer,
three people for each quarter section
It was no wonder, then, that the rusf
was a mad one. Like scenes wer'
never witnessed before, except IN
Oklahoma two years ago.

\ Heavy Failure.

NEW YORK, September 22.-S. V.
White & Co. have just sent the an
nouncement of their assignment to the
stock exchange. The members Of the
firm say their assignment is due to the
corner in corn and their interest in
the stock OF bond market is very limit
ed
White says the failure Is due to long
speculation in corn and not in stocks.
The liabilities Of the firm are very
large, but only few hundred shares
Of stock are outstanding on contract.
The private fortune of ). V. White, so
lo1g noted for success and coldness in
in his speculative deals, is estimsted
at two million dollars. A number of
firms who were borrowing stocks from
White & Co., received notice from
them before the opening of business
today to cell the shares and market
took the stock with scarcely a tremor.
The failure caused but little excite
ment on the produce exchange for the
reason that but few Of the members
were interested In the deals. 1t is
stated 1t will effect Chicago principally.
The price Of corn dropped u cents al

Baking Powder IBnl Passed by the Min

The recent newspaper discussion Of

cOatings OF the stomach aud intestines
and causes death. Slow ammonia
poisoning produces various forms Of
stomach trouble.
