rocky cliff the horse fell and threw her
against bowlder. Her forehead got an
awful blow and her left leg was frac-

tional. She declaced: THE lot where I

three claimants, each contending that he

opened a company of soldiers and twenty
three deputy narshals have paraded the

The fact that everybody was given an
equal chance for lots, many of the bust

women, and that all adjoining lands were
given to actual settlers and no town COM

proves the falsity of the many charges
made against the land Office and terri

were made in the opening, no man can

A DREAM OF HAPPINESS

Maybe followed by a morning of LA Grippe"
Easily, and whyH Because the displacement of
covering in bed, a neglected draught from partly
closed window, an open transom connected with
a'windy entry in a hotel, may convey to your nos

and swift are the inroads made by this new des-
troyer. The medicated alcoholic principle in
Hostetter's Stomach Bitters will check the dire
complaint. Apersistence in this preventive OF its
further deve lopment will absolutely checkmate
the dangerous m.lady. Unmedicated alcoholic
stimulants are of little no value. The just me

Claims the Lot She Fell Upon-A Mag
ical Transformation.
GUTHRIE, o. T., Sept. 30-Another
great rush is over and another city is
born. Where at noon Monday not a
sign of human habithtion existed there is
now a city of Zoo people. Hundreds OF
white tents glesm among the trees, the
sounds of the saw and hammer are heard,
and people are buying and selling. At an
early hour Monday morning Governor
Steele exhibited a plat of the town site of
Chandler and announced that the survey
was completed, and at Hiss the bugls
would give warning. and at IL m. volley
from the soldiers muskets in the center
OF the public square would be the signal
TO "go."
Mixed Crowd for Fact.
The 5000 people who had been waiting
. week to get in on the town site were
gleeful. By 10 o'clock horse men and foot
men stoou three ana nVe deep AT al avail
able points of the east and west borders
of the town site. Few people had no.
ticed that the sky was overcast with
black clouds, and all were surprised when,
with a crash of thunder rain began to
fall. For two hours it poured perfect
deluge, and the water ran in streams.
Every one was drenched. yet not person
moved from the line. Men in broadcloth,
women in silks, cowboys, gamblers,
preachers, boomers, all stood and took
the rain. All were too eager for home
or fortune to be moved by mere
drenching.
The Break for the Main Street.
The plot showed that Manual avenue,
fronting on the public square and run
ming mile through the town and all on
the smooth backbo of the town size,
would be the main business street For
it everybody was headed. The thick
woods did not hinder the horsemen, who,
rs the signal was given, dashed at break
neck speed for the best lot they could get.
Jumping from their horses they would
jam stake into the ground and yell,
This is my lot" while horses ran loose
pell-mell everywhere. The footmen, how
ever, in many instances got the best lots
as the horses could not be stopped under
fifty feet. Many men were knocked from
their horses by tree limbs while many
horses and men fell fat in the rush, yet
there was but one serious accident
