THE NEXT BIG RUSH
In the Oklahoma Country Will Be for
Town Lots on Monday.
TEN THOUSAND PEOPLE WAITING.
They Want Horses and Vehicles Shut Out or
Many Will Be Killed.
PLENTY OF GOOD WATER DISCOVERED
ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DIsrArcH.l J


GUTHRIE, o. T., Sept. 26.-The news
from Chandler to-day is more encouraging
Plenty of provisions are now on the ground.
and people no longer suffer from hunger
and thirst. Water was discovered at a
depth of two feet 100 feet from the
center of the Government town site 1t
is a cool, clear spring of water. As soon as
the people are allowed to ascend the blum
and view the broad plateau on which the
county seat is located, they will discover
that it is a much finer town site than ap-
pears from their present point of view.
There will be tremendous rush for lots,
and petitions are being circulated asking
the military to shut out all horses and
vehicles. If this is not done a dozen
people will probably be crushed in
the wild rush into the town. A large party
sneaked into town last night and pulled up
several hundred stakes. This has delayed
the survey, so that the town site cannot be
thrown open before Monday. A number of
cowboys threatened to rush in by force to-
day, but were soon scared away by soldiers.
Yesterday afternoon the 200 people who
had staked off lots on the section adjoining
Chandler were elected by the soldiers. The
entire. crowd, numbering 10000, is now
temporarily located on the school
section. Thirty stores are running in
tents there. Governor Steele is camping
with Judge Allison on an old Sac and Fox
farm There are four log huts, which have
been cleaned up and put in good order.
One is used for bedroom, one for parlor
and the other for a dining room. The
kitchen is out of doors. The Governor
seems to enjoy roughing it. He got used to
it when q regular army officer.
A man named johnson, of Missouri, rode
his horse 80 hard for claim near Chandler
that the horse fell dead, falling on the rider
and killing him. A party of men digging
well north of Chandler found a large
pocket of pure lead ore. Rich
specimens were brought to this city tonight
and cause the greatest excitement. A
Scourier from Tecumseh tonight says busi-
ness lots have dropped 300 per cent since
Friday and that the people are leaving by
the hundreds. Water cannot be reached
there under depth of 100 feet and the soil
is the poorest of sand

MANY BURNED TO DEATH
IN THE FOREST FIRES NOW RAGING
IN THE NORTHWEST.

Three Persons Dead and q Family Hemmed
In by the Flames-Great Amount of
Property Destroyed-The People Get
ting Control.
ELLENDALE,N. D. Sept. t.26.-Word comes
from Emons county that the whole east
end OF the county has been swept by q ter
rible prairie fire in which three persons lost
their lives. Many families are rendered
homeless Whole herds of cattle perished
in the flames. One herder lost As head of
stock out of a herd of So. The loss will
reach fully s15o,OOO. The lives lost were a
man. his wife and son who were trying to
save their farm property. Several hundred
men managed to stop the progress of the
flames just as they reached the boundary of
Mcintosh county, where the fire would have
had clean sweep. People in the district it
burned over in Emons county are in pitia-
BILE plight, without food or shelter.
A dispatch from Hinckley, Minn., SAYS:
There has never before been a fire of the
magnitude of this one in this region. That
of two years ago is said by the lumbermen
here to have been nothing compared with
this one. The whole country has been
swept by the flames, and everything has
been burned outside of the towns except q
few lumber camps here Thousands Of tons
of hay on the lowlands were destroyed. Re-
ports from the southwest, along the line of
the Great Northern, say that the danger
seems to be over, unless there is heavy
wind again. The fire is burning northward
toward Superior, and is said to be in the
vicinity of Partridge and Kerrick.
AT Oak Park and Princeton the people
were obliged to turn out en- masse to fight
the fires In both instances they were
successful On every side of Milaca
the fires are still burning. Nothing but q
heavy rain will take away all fears.
A telegram from Mora, Mimi, says:
After long and brave fight with the
forest fires the people in Kanabre county,
Mimi, are feeling relieved. The high
wind has gone down and no further dangers
are anticipated in the settled portion of the
county. So far as heard no lives have been
lost. The new bridge across the Knife
river and several numbering camps with
valuable kits were burned The fire is
working its way north and the damage to
standing pine will amount to thousands of
dollars.
A report from Turtle Lake, Mimi, says:
Word has reached this village that the
family of Mr.. Nesso, farmer living short
distance out of town, consisting of himself,
his wife and several small children, were
hemmed in by the flames and no doubt
burned to death, as no help could reach
them.

GOULD BROUGHT TO TIME.
THE WIZARD OF WALL STREET RUNS
UP AGAINST HIS MASTER.

j. Pierpont Morgan Talks Straight to Him
-He Must Stop Juggling Union Pacific
Threatened with Banishment From
Wall Street If He Doesn't.
NEW YORK, Sept. 26.-[Special. u. Pier
pont Morgan Is a man of strong will and
deiuite purposes. He took hold of the
Union Pacific finances at the request of Jay
Gould. He soon found that Gould was
juggling with the property. Having iden-
tilted himself with the scheme to fund the
floating debt, he naturally felt that success
was essential to the preservation of his
prestige as a great fnancier Consequently
when he found that Gould was giving that
scheme a negative support he was indig-
nant
He had n talk with Gould to-day, and
"the Wizard of Wall street" was given to
understand that he was no longer wizard.
He was told plainly that unless he acted
the part of straightforward man, he would
not only be hustled out of the Union Pac-
ifc, but that his power in Wall street would
end summarily. Gould has great deal Of
money at his command, but Morgan,
as the fiscal agent Of the Van
derbilts, has great deal more.
Gould was not slow in grasping the point OF
Mr.. Morgan's arguments. He made up his
mind that to keep in the swim was the best
policy for him, consequently he agreed to
work hand in hand with Morgan in placing
the trust notes of the Union Pacific, which
are designed to extend the floating debt of
that company for three years.
To that end he to-day subscribed 81 ,000,-
900. Early this afternoon there was meet
ing in the Office of Drexel, Morgan & Co. of
the trustees in charge of the funding of the
Union Pacific floating debt. The session
was not long one, and at its close it was
said that "a, SOC, 900 of the IS, 5OO 900 offered
the public had been taken. So it was ex-
pected that the plan would be carried to a
successful termination, probably early next
week.
An authentic interview with Gould to-
day confirmed the Street in its conviction
that the time has come when the Missouri
Pacific Railroad will suspend the payment
of dividends. The payment of one for the
current quarter is no longer a matter of
policy nor of the pressure Of public opinion
upon Gould and his immediate associates,
but question of cash.

ing in Europe as q Worlds Fair rCommis-
sioner, returned home to-day. He stopped
in Columbus long enough to get his speak
ing appointments and then went to Athens
The General is good talker, but the Re-
publicans are fearful he will get the party
into snarl before long.
H. W. westbrook and H Martin Will
Jams, of Missouri, blew into town to-day to
take the stump for the Democrats. They
say the Alliance i stronger than ever in
their State, and that the sub-treasury feat
ure did not in jure the organization in the
least
Considerable hard feeling is being engen-
dered between the Foraker and Sherman
crowds over the Senatorial fight. The con-
vention at Cleveland to-day is expected to
settle the contest in favor of Sherman, but
even should the Forest City people turn
against him, it is generally conceded that
Honest John has Foraker badly licked. If
the next Legislature is Republican, Sher-
man will undoubtedly be reelected.
sHERMAN's FRIENDS OUT OF OHIO.
The demand for his return from beyond
the confines of the State is very strong, and
is having its influence. 1t is believed that
the Foraker-Sherman fight has not injured
the State ticket, but it is hard to see it in
that light. Rather than have Sherman re-
elected, the Peoples party would be will
ing to make any kind of a coalition with the
Democr1ts.
It will take considerable schooling to
teach citizens how to vote under the new
system. 1t is not simple by any means.
This work is being intrusted by the parties
to the local committees Temporary booths
and tickets in abundance have been pre-
pared. The eagle heads the Republican,
the rooster the Democratic the rose the
Prohibition and the plow and hammer the
Peoples.
BRAINY MEN CAN'T AGREE.
A booth has been built here which stands
on the pavement just inside of one of the
gates of the State House grounds. A COM
pany of intelligent men were trying to vote
to-day, but they couldn't agree. They
would read and re-read the instructions,
which they interpreted differently, and
finally one man offered to bet 81 900 he was
right, but he wasn't.
This is only sample of what trouble
voters will have, and if Imerous mistakes
are not made it will be wonderful. 1t seems
that a retention of the old form of tickets
with the Australian system ofsecresy would
have been sufficient.

A BOGUS THEATRICAL AGENT.
Young Girls Shipped by Him From Ne,
York to a Low Texas Variety Hall,

York to a Low Texas Variety Hall.
NEW YORK, Sept. 26.-[Special Am
other New York Theatrical agency" is at
tracing the attention of the police authori-
ties, and its proprietor may, like Agent
Elbrogen, who was convicted some months
ago, have to defend himself against the
charge of procuring girls for improper pur-
poses. To-day this dispatch was received
here from Houston, Tex:
Six young girls, who we're brought here
from New York to perform at variety
show, left for Galveston to-day under the
charge of the Chief of Police, where they
will take steamer Comal and return home
The girls claim they were deceived about
the character of the place.
The agent referred tots Tony Smith. An
advertisement appeared in the papers here
on September Is, in response to which
number of girls applied at Smiths agency,
and eight of them were sent to Houston via
Galveston by steamer in charge of a Mrs
Bell, wife of the proprietor of the alleged
'theater" at Houston. In response to
telegram for description of the Houston
theater, the following was received "a
stage at one end and a bar ut the other.
The girls wear dresses short at both ends
and persuade the men to buy beer"

CAMPBELL ON TIN PLATE.
Speech Devoted to the Difference Be-
tween That and Terne Plate.

COLUMBUS Sept. 26.-[Specidl. J. Gov
ernor Campbell had to drive nine miles to
reach his appointment at London, Madison
county, to-day. As they passed the new
Court House, now under process of con-
struction, the Democratic workmen ran up
flag and put great rooster on top of the
Court House, and an immense placard
stating: "There is no. Piqua tin
used on this building" The platform was
embiazoned with great streamers, stating
that no Piqua lead tin was used. This gave
the Governor an opportunity to explain the
difference between tin plate and terne plate.
The Governor explained that to talk of terne
tin plate was as absurd as to speak of a
black-white man; that terne plate was terne
plate, and tin plate was tin plate, and that
there was no such thing as terne tin plate.
The word terne came from the French, and
was used to indicate that whatever it was
applied to was composed of three different
articles. The word "Terne' as applied to
metals means that metal named was CON-
posed of a union or composition of three
metals, no matter whether tin be used or
not. Terne plate had technical meaning,
and meant a metal, the basis of which was
sheet iron or steel dipped into mixture of
lead and tin, making plate composed of
three metals, iron, lead and tin.

The Florida Supreme Court will convene

apply for mandamus to compel compli-
ance with the constitutional requirement
providing that the Secretary of State shall
attest all commissions issued by the Execu-

that Secretary Crawford will go to Jail
rather than obey the mandate if issued by
the Supreme Court and the anti-CaIl men
seem confident of forcing the Secretary to
attest Davidson's appointment.
