GUTHRIE, o. T., Sept. 25.-The town,
which was for several days deserted, is
now filled with people. 1t is filled with
boomers who come to file on their claims
and with disgusted people from Chandler
who failed to secure locations. Some of
them killed their horses, being unable to
get water for them and returned in the
wagons. Those who went for claims are
generally delighted over their adven.

claims worth from $4,000 to 100000.
They are mostly situated along the Bear

Thought 1t WAS "Judgment Day"

JACKSONVILLE, Fla, Sept. "a, = Just be-
fore II O'Clock last night panic occurred
in the Harmony Baptist church (col-
oredD, during which one woman was
killed, three others received fatal in
juries and about twenty more were Sc
riously injured and bruised. The church
stands near the outskirts of the city. An
all night revival meeting was being held
there. Suddenly the gas lights began to
flicker badly, owing to some defects in
the pipes. The audience was made up Of
nearly 500 negroes, all under more or less
religious excitement, and the flicker of
the lights at once appealed to
the superstitions OF the worship
ers as supernatural visitation.
The whole audience raised to their feet
and the lights went out entirely. One
frenzied worshipper shouted, "Judg-
ment! Judgment" A grand rush was
made for the narrow doors. Men, wom-
en- and children were packed together
like sardines in asmall entry. The strong
er ones trampled on the weak and rushed
out over their PROSTATE bodies. Many
jumped from windows and were injured
in the fall and by broken glass. The
panic lasted fifteen or twenty minutes,
and, when the building was lighted again,
over dozen people lay bruised and bleed
ing on the floor.

The English Poet-Author of "The Light
of Asia"

Edwin Arnold was born June 10, 1882,
was educated at Kings. college, London,
and university college, Oxford, where he
graduated in 1854. He became prlncipa
of the government Sanskrit college at
Pconan, India, and fellow OF the universi.
ty of Bombay, remaining through the
Sepoy mutiny of 1857 and resigning shi
post in 1861. He subsequently became
conductor OF the London Daily Telegraph,
for which journal he is said to have writ
ten some 5000 editorials. He is the
author of a number of works. 1.-THE
Light OF ASIA" by which he is best
known, is poem, on the life and doctrines
of Gautama Buddha, the supposed
founder of the Buddhstic religion. This
" ork, considered simply as poem, pos
sesses many claims upon our admiration,
but it does not give just idea of the
spirit of that religion. The author did
not feel called upon to confne himself
within the statement of the Buddhistic
authorities, and this total freedom from
restraint has unquestionably been favor
able to the production of a pleasing and
beautiful poem. Sir Edward Arnold was
knighted by Queen Victoria, and will pay
his second visit to the United States
within the next few weeks for a lecturing
tour. He has been twice a widower.
His second wife WAS an American, niece
of DR.. Charming, of Boston. Sir Edwin
Arnold is of medium height, of rather
swarthy complexion and is master of ten
dead and living languages.

A Tale of Woe.

ST. PAUL, Mimi, Sept. 25.-Ninty-four

torrid tale yesterday told by the Twin
City thermometers at noon. The public

has been hard work to check the fires in
forest and field and they are still burning:
in many places furiously. The fires in
North Dakota are pretty well under con
troll, except around Oakes, where several
miles of wheat fields are reported burned
over. Otto Fredericks, engaged in burn
ing fire break, was overtaken and burned
to death, together with his team.
Cumberland, Wis, Sept. 25.-Forest
fires have been raging throughout Barron,
Polk, Washburn and Burnett counties for
several days, endangering all kinds OF
property and in several instances endan-
gering life. The villages of Perley and
Comstock in Barron county have been
partially burned. The villages of Barron
ct, Shell Lake and Hayward are in great
danger. The smoke is almost sufiocating

The Parker is the most extensively

A new plant of machinery has been
placed at the head of the Old Abe shaft,
and preparations are being made to vigor-
ously work the mine. The 20,stamp mill

that the output of the mine will now be
largely increased.
The Silver City Northern railroad is
completed to Hanover, and shipments of
ore from that camp have commenced over
the new road. The terminus of the road
is but few hundred yards from some of
the largest iron deposits in that camp,
and iron can now be delivered to the
smeters for about $2 per ton less than
before the railroad was built. A large
number of mines have been bonded in
the Hanover and surrounding districts,
and the output of ore has already been
largely increased.
Morehead and Jasper have sunk fifteen
feet in a solid body of ore on their Maid

six feet in thickness. Assays show a
value OF Is ozs. silver and $3 gold per ton,
with a higher percentage of lead and
zinc. A sample has been sent to the
Central Ore Smelling company, at Pueb-
10, Colo, and if a satisfactory contract
can be made the ore will be shipped there
for reduction and extensive work inaugu-
rated in the mine. The mine is situated
near the Houston & Thomas properties

is an old man. He, like Lowell, was born
in Cambridge, Mass, and is now SO years
old. He was graduated from Harvard col
lege in 1929, entered upon the study of
the law, which he soon abandoned

Through the remarkable peculiarities OF
its outline this county lies in three drain
age basins and extends three-fourths
across the territory. The western portion
of the county, amounting to perhaps
third of its area, lies within the watershed
of the Little Colorado. The great bulk of
the county is IN the Rio Grande trough
and narrow prolongation extends over
the eastern divide into the Pecos basin
and almost to the river of that name. 1t
is natural, therefore, to expect variety
of fclimatic constraints, which is so great as
to necessltate the consideration of the
county IN accordance with the division
just made. In the western part there is
received about three inches of rain in
winter and eight in summer, and the
amount of evaporation is below 70 inches
annually. In the central part the winter
showers do not much exceed four inches
and the temporales are less than eight
and in the immediate valley of the Rio
Grande may amount to 80 inches. The
eastern prolongatlon is 80 small and un-
important that it's climatic conditions need
no express review.
The valuable lands for agricultural pur-
poses are to be found in the valleys of the
Rio Grande, the Rio Puerco of the east
and the Rio Puerco of the west, the Rio
Jemez, the Galisteo, the Santa Fe and
Tuerto Creek. In addition, there are
numerous springs which feed small
streams and assist in agriculture. VIII
culture yields excellent returns under irri-
CATION and is enlisting considerable cap
