Associated Press Dispatches.

GUTHRIE, Sept. 20.-The Santa Fe's
four regular passenger trains, two from
the north and two from the south, all
came in today in four or five sections Of
ten and twelve cars each, each section
carrying hundreds of home-seekers.
The newcomers are hustling around
buying outfits and bargaining for con-
veyances to the border of the new
lands. Others are preparing to start,
and still others are just going away.
There is bedlam in the streets and con-
fusion everywhere.
Those who waited until today before
making their provisions for Tuesdays
race have a decided advantage oyer
those who rushed pellmell for the bor-
der. A list of those sections reserved
for school purposes and those allotted
to Indians, all of which are exempt
from pre-emption, was published
today. Land Commissioner Car
ter telegraphs that settlers can
enter the lands from the Kickapoo
reservation which is not included In the
lands to be opened to settlement, and
lies in the very heart OF those that are
to be opened. This permission gives
the home-seekers many more miles OF
available border where they may mass
for the race. When the contents OF the
telegram became known, hundreds of
the boomers hurried into Kickapoo re-
servation, and have taken up positions.
Much satisfaction is expressed over
Secretary Mobiles orders to registers and
receivers to prevent fraud in connection
with the filing OF declaratory state
ments of old soldiers. The traffic in de-
claratory statements has been sus-
pended, home-seekers regarding them
as extra-hazardous investments.

himself instead of falling into the

TOPEKA, Kan, Jan. 23.-At a meeting
of the State Bar Association Judge
CrOzier, of IEsavenworth, delivered an
address advocating a revision of the
State Constitution. Charles y. Gleed,
OF Topeka, spoke on the Relation OF
Railroad Properties to the People -
Chief Justice A. II. Horton read a
paper on the Limitation of Appeals -
in which he favored the plan of
limiting appeals from Justices courts
TO cases involving over so, and deny
ing appeals in small cases and neigh
bOrhOOd Quarrels. He said that about
One-6fth of the cases reported in the
Supreme Court reports of cases decided
were matters involving less than $500.
7. +. Carver pointed out the glaring
faults of the present statute on ''Des-
cents and Distribution" and urged the
necessary reform. Judge John Guthrie
submitted a paper favOring the establish
ment of courts of Cancellation and
arbitration for the settlement of ques-
tons requiring little technical skill.

DESTRUCTION BY snow.

Heavy Fall OF Snow In New York-Tsbs-
graph and Telephone Poles FAN and OBJ
strUct the Streets.
NEW York, Jan. 96.-The storm
which set in at IL o'clock Saturday
night and continued until noon yesEer-
day was the severest of the season thus
far. About six inches of snow fell and
it was of the wet clinging kind that
fastened itself to every thing it touched,
loading trees until they We're shorn OF
their branches or fell PROSTATE with
their trunks snapped off as though they
had been mere twigs and clinging to
the electric wires until they gave way
under the pressure and broke in all die
rectiOns or until the poles on which they
were standing fell, crushed by the inn
mense weight
No such work of destruction has been
known since the great blizzard OF
March, 1SSS, and it is a question if that
memorable storm was more serious in
its effects upon the telegraph poles and
wires of the city. Early in the morning
Geographic and telephone connections
were broken, and while the'snOw did not
offer bar to railroad traffic the pros
trate poles and wires prevented the rum
ming of cars on many streets, and
even the elevated railroad trains were
compelled to move cautiously and were
often brought to stop by the wires that
had fallen across the tracks The police
and fire departments were especial suf-
ferers. All wire connections between
the various police stations and the cen
trial office were broken and recourse
was had to messenger
The telegraph, telephone and electric
light poles could not stand the weight
of the snow and streets were bfoclzaded
by the broken poles and entang1ed
wires. At one point the electric and
telephone wires crossed and fell on a
street car team, killing one horse. Sew
eral fires were caused by electric wires
but no persons were in jured-

purpose OF thrashing him AS DELPHI

his schoOlmates, when they all assaulted
the teacher at once
Farmer knocked his assailants right
and left, locked the door and, pulling
of his coat, fought the entire party
single handed and succeeded in
thoroughly subduing the refractory pU-
pills, but not until he had given each
one a pair of black eyes and a bloody
nose as mementOes OF his pus!ilistic skill
After the dust had settled the regular
school programme was resumed as
though nothing had occurred, and Mr..
Farmer is master of the situation.

IOWA WOMEN
They Will Make Hard Fight for
Suffrage.

MASON CITY, To-, Oct. 1S.-Tnere
promises to be some lively legislation
this winter OH the woman's suffrage
question. The friends of the cause
have now started out on the plan of a
thorough organization, and before the
next legislature cOnvenes every county
in the state will be equipped for war
fare. Carrie Lane Chapman, who has
devoted the last eight years to this
work. and Mrs. Callahan, of DeS
MOineS, who counts her wealth in the
millions, have commenced the work and
will carry it vigorously forward. The
primary object is to get the woman
suffrage sentiment in the state into line
ready to accomplish telling work. They
expect to have introduced in the com
ing legislature three bills-one asking
school suffrage, one municipal suffrage,
and one full suffrage. Some OF the
prominent lawyers of the state have
given their opinion that full suffrage
can be granted constitutionally by the
legislature. The workers are confident
that some concessions will be made to
their petitions. At the county conven-
lions tfund will be collected by private
subscriptions to defray the expenses Of
q thorough canvass to extend through
out the entire year, or until such time
as satisfactory results are obtained.
New YORK, Oct 1S.-It was made
public tonight that the working
Women's society,"" the central body rep
resenting the organized workingwomen
of New York, last week pronounced for
the first time in favor of suffrage for
women, passing unanimously and
heartily resolutions suggested by Mr..
Hamilton Wilcox, of New York, making
this demand. The society also en-
dOrsed Mr.. WilcoX's bill enabling all
self-supporting women to vote. which
has heretofore been approved By several
central labor ORGANIZATIONS.
