sPEcIILATORs WARNED.

WASHINGTON, Sept 19-Information has
reached the interior department that spec.
ulators are preparing to use powers of at
torney, obtaiDed from a very large mum
Der of ex-solders to file declaratory state
mentS, under section 1904 of the Revised
Statutes, on the lands to be opened 10 set
Element by the presidents proclamation
without any bona fide intention on the
part of the soldiers to become permanent
settlers. Acting upon this information,
Commissioner Carter, in a letter of in
structions TO the registers and receivers of
the land Offices to which this new country
is attached, declares:
ANY such proceedings will be fraudu-
lent, and you will endeavor to defeat them,
if attempted, by any means properly i"
your power. You will advise bona fide
settlers not to purchase relinqulshments
of such filings when it. appears that they
are not made with the intention of follow
ing them up by settlement in good faith
under the law"
1t is stated at the general land Office that
their information Is TO the effect that un-
thousands of old soldiers in different parts
of the country for a small consideration
usually So powers of attorney to enter in
their name these Oklahoma lands.
In most of these cases the soldier has no
intention of ultimately making his home
on the land, and the entry forms cloud up
on the title of the actual settler, who may
have gone upon the land few hours after
the soldier entry is filed. In these cases
the actual settler. particularly if he is not
approached until he has expended a sum
of money in improvements, would be WILL
ing to pay something-say $50 ro Sl00-to
have the cloud removed. But for the
prompt action of the interior department
officials, the revenues of so-called attorneys
from this source would undoubtedly have
been large.

GUTHRIE NOTES.

Special Dispatch to the Daily Eagle.
GUTHRIE, o. T., Sept. 19-The excite
ment grows apace. Hundreds are now
standing in line in front of the land Office
awaiting their turn to file. Every con-
veyance and horse is engaged TO take the
boomer to the new lands. Hundreds are
coming hourly The hotels and eating
houses are taxed to their utmost to feed
the throng "Sooners" are declared
against on all sides, and there is no doubt
that times for them will be very tough.
Threats are being made to mob those in
line at the land Office waiting to file.
Governor Steele stated this afternoon that
he would do all in his power to punish
anyone found with even bottle of whisky
in his pocket. Quantities of liquor have
gone over to the new country, and people
are leaving in crowds for the line. 1t is
evident that liquor will flow freely. and
people will, in consequence, act rashly. A
man just in from the reservation says that
he saw 200 boomers cross the Iowa line.
No liquor can be taken in or sold in the
Indian country. The deputy United
States marshals have been instructed by
United States Marshal Grimes to arrest all
parties found with liquor on their persons.
Hon. William Greifenstein has been in
the city today. Many of our leading citi-
zens think that Burnett will be the town
yet. Kansas City, No, is not county
seat, but Independenceis. The county seat
never made Wichita. The change in the
location of the counry seat of Pottawato-
mie county by the secretary does not neces-
sarily permanently locate it. 1t is located
in one Of the most undesirable points of
the Pottawatomie country, with no water
and no bottom land. Time will show that
Burnett will be the town.
A grand reception was given Right Rev.
Theo Meerscheart, the new Catholic bishop
of Oklahoma and the Indian Territory,
yesterday afternoon in McKinnon's opera
house. The house was filed to overflow
ing. Governor Steele presided and Mayor
Spengel welcomed the bishop with we'll
timed address. Judge Green also made an
address The bishop replied feelingly and
made good impression upon all.

can be selected there. This work is IN
progress and will be completed no doubt
by Tuesday. The Indians have also TO De
considered and their patents issued. Inese
have been forwarded when required, ana
the lists of allotmeEts 10 all cases ap-
proved. The military will still have au-
thority to protect these allotments and
will remain for that purpose. 1t was also
necessary to put the opening far enough
ahead to notify the troops along the Dor-
dersof the day and hour they could let the
people enter. There are no railroads there
for the most part, and it therefore takes
time to do this. 1t IS highly desirable that
the settlers should fully understand the
absolute necessity of guiding themselves
by the lists of vacant lands sent out They
should not attempt to enter without the
list. The chances viii be almost even for
a fatal mistake The lands have been at
tached TO the various offices at Guthrie
and Oklahoma City. 1t has not been
deemed best TO suspend this action IN or
der to defeat fraudulent soldiers declar-
atory entries as it would also necessarily
defeat some claims made by old soldiers in
good faith. 1t is better the law should
take its course than it should be inter
fered by executive action. Fraud can be
better dealt with by other means than
through actual injustice practiced toward
the innocent to defeat che guilty"

a MucH-MARRIED GIRL

| CHICAGO, Sept 10-AIiss Gertrude Whit
| ing Potter, daughter of o w. Potter, the
millionaire president of the Illinois Steel
company, was married today, at the resi-
6ence of her parents in the Virginia
apartment house, to Julius Clarke Dan
iels of New York city. The groom is a
son of George II. Daniels, the general
passenger and ticket agent Of the New
| York Central railroad
| Miss Potter was clandestinely married
in June last to f. Lee Rust, son of
William Rust, the millionaire lumberman
of Eau Claire Wis. A few days ago she
was secretly granted a divorce on the
ground that young Rust was minor;
that the ceremony was performed without
the consent of his parents, and that the
contracting parties had never lived to-
gether as husband and wife. After her
marriage to young Rust be accompanied
her and her mother on tour o. Europe,
and Mrs Potter did not know that they
were married until arter their return to
America.
Previously Miss Potter had fallen in
love with and became engaged to a news
boy. This was broken off, however, when
the newsboy was sent to prison for bur
glary. The newsb0y is now out OF the
penitentiary, and claims that his arrest
was part of conspiracy to prevent his
marriage to Miss Potter. An authorized
SlaNeu60t, UlaNe lOF Iue lduily JulS dlbcr-
noon, adds heretofore unknown feature
to the affair.
The statement says that on December
81, 1889, Julius Clark Daniels secured from
the county clerk of Cook county a license
to himself under the name of Julius
Clarke" and to Gertrude Whiting Potter
under the name of Gertrude Whiting" to
marry. Acting under that license, julius
Clark Daniels and Gertrude Whiting
Potter were married on January !, 1890 by
Rev. r. A. John. The parties continued
thereafter to live at their respective homes.
Subsequently Miss Potter submitted to
legal council the question of the validity of
her marriage with Daniels, and was ad
vised and believed that such marriage was
invalid.
How Miss Potter was married to young
Rust and divorced from him is related as
above and, finally, the statement con-
cludes with: No actual necessity existed
for any decree of the court annulling the
marriage, which was in fact void, but the
same was secured for the reason that the
interests of ali concerned made it proper
under the circumstances stated"

RIGHTS OF ALLOTTEEs.

WASHINGTON. Sept. 19-Speaking yes
terday regarding the conditions governing
the opening of the ceded lands in Okla
homa. Secretary Noble said:
The conditions under which the preSi-
dent opens the Indian purchases in Okla

some part culars to those existing when
Oklahoma itself was opened, are yet very
materially different in others. Each Of
the Indians of the tribes selling to the
United States had the reserved right by

right has been fully exercised. The ailOt-
ments have all been made and the same

SPECIE MOVEMENTS.

New YORK, Sept. 19-The Post says:
''The most significant, perhaps, of all
the incidents of the week, in its
bearing upon prices. both here and
in Europe, is the breaking down of
the last obstacle placed by the Bank of
England in the way of our import of
gold. This mornings cables brought
news of heavy engagements of the prec-
ious metal in London, the total engage
ments in that city publicly announced
now footing up S1250,000 with probably
as much more privately contracted for,
but not yet made public. According to
the dispatches most of this gold is Amer
lean coin, the drop in exchange yester-
day being fUfficient to meet the premium
imposed by the English bank. 1t is not
easy to conjecture where the movement will
stop, for the heavy purchases of our Sc
curities by Londoners during the present
week have upset most of the previous
calculations. Il is interesting to recall
now the predictions of wiseacres three
months ago. that the Englishmen would
prevent gold imports from that city by
selling American securities 20 settle trade
debts" T"
NEW YORK, Sept. 19-The exports of
specie from the port of New York last
week amounted TO 1919, 720 of which
SlO5,00S was in gold and S4I4,7l2 in sill

pleasure, and while it may take one ele-
ment from Burnett, it takes but one. The
naturally productive country and the vim
and energy of the people of Burnett are
something that cannot be transferred at
the pleasure of the secretary of the in
terror. They are still at Burnett, and the
sound of the hammer and rush of town
building is going on as merrily as ever.
New men are coming In every day, new
buildings are going up, and the future OF
Burnett, as of every great city, is built on
natural and not on artificial resources.
Mr. Greiffenstein met the directory of
the Denison and Washita Valley railroad
here today and perfected arrangements for
the building of that line through Burnett,
and a corps of surveyors will be in the
field next week.
1t is expected that the preliminary steps
to the development of the coal fields will
begin at once. Burnett presents a fine
opening for any line of business, but Mr.
Greiffenstein's motto is. First come. first
served" and the wise will not stand upon
the order of their going, but go at once" E

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 19-Peter W.
Jackson, q lawyer. of Fresno, asserts that he

relatives in England live on an estate ad-
joining that of her father. He says that
she came TO this country in 1857 with her

jackson has no doubt that the Vera Ava
in Cincinnati and the English woman
whom he knows are one and the same.
Two friends who came with Jack son from
England expressed the same opinion. al
though none of them have seen Miss Ava
for years. Her father, they say, was a
wealthy man. Mr.. Bevering one of the
gentlemen in question, says that when
Miss Vera and her brother came to Cali
fOrnia they spent some time in Pomona,
and it was always the belief of Bevering
and his friends that her brother was the
author of the famous Arurcbison letter,
which appeared in the campaign of 1898,
and resulted ultimately in the recall of
Lord Sackville West, the English minister
