HERDERs MUST GO.


Secretary Noble Orders the Cattle Kings
OF the Cherokee Strip.
WASHINGTON, Sept. Secretary
Noble hes promulgated an order, in
which he refused to grant the request of
herders in the Cherokee nation for
further extension of time to remove their
cattle from the Cherokee strip. The
secretary calls attention to the order is
sued requiring that one-half of the stock
be removed before Nov. /, 1890, and the
residue and all their property and en-
ployes on or before Dec. /,
The president extended the time be-
fore fixed for the removal of livestock
herded upon the order to Nov. /, as to
one half and to Dec. l, as to the
residue and all property. The secretary
says those having cattle or other live
stock on the Cherokee strip, whether
Cherokee Indians, white men or others,
must remove therefrom with their
stock without delay. He says it is de-
sirable that the orders in effect should
infiict little loss, as they will not if they
are promptly obeyed; but the thought
that they viii be changed or further
evasion allowed should be abandoned.

WHO WE'RE THEY,
Five Hundred skeletons Exhumed In
Illinois.

LInnolss
CARTHAGE, Sept. 11.-While plowinp
In his field few miles east of Carthage
recently, Mr.. Cyrus Felt unearthed q
human skeleton. Further investigation
revealed the presence of numerous skele-
tons, many OF them crumbling away
into dust upon being exposed to the at
mosphere.
Further explorations of this mound,
for such it proved to be, were made, and
bones in quantities sufficient to form the
skeletons of fully 500 persons were
found. These bones lay piled together
as if the bodies had been cast into the
pit heedlesnl after a battle or massacre.
Some Skeletons were found intact, inn
bedded in the earth, but few could be
taken out whole, as disintegration en-
sued almost Immediately.
Measurements were taken of various
portions Of the skeletons. Several femur
bones were found to be nineteen and one
fourth inches in length, and the parietal
bone on several skulls measured seven
and three-fourths inches across. This
leads to the belief that the skeletons
found We're those of race of giants, or,
at least, extremely large.
In the mound also were found the
skeleton bones of infants and women,
showing that either cruel massacre had
taken place CT else a terrible pestilence
had carried off these prehistoric people
by the hundreds. Further investiga-
tions were made by scientific men, and
another mound was discovered close by
which revealed the presence of many
more skeletons. These were In better
state of preservation.
Some of the skeletons, from their To-
cation In the mounds, indicated that the
corpses had been buried in standing OF
sitting posture. The jaw bones in most
every instance were well preserved. as
were the teeth. The latter are large,
perfectly formed, and seem to be in per.
feet condition, theenamel on them being
completely preserved. From the shape
of the skulls, which are large at the
base and small at the crown, it would
seem that the people were semi,barbar-
ians.
1t is a singular fact that in none OF
these Sweeney mounds, as they are
called, were found a single ornament,
an implement of warfare or domestic
use, nor any evidences of the religious
belief, if any, that was held by these
people,

WHEAT BLOCKADE.
The Railways Cannot Handle the Crop as
Fast as 1t Comes to Them.

rhbt as II OOnleb 20 Ahems
KANSAS CITY, Sept. 11.-Ever since
the wheat harvest in Kansas was begun
receipts Of wheat at this place have been
enormous, Many of the farmers with
big crops were anxious to market their
wheat at the earliest possible moment
and secure ready money to pay their
debts. Up to within the past week the
railroads have been able to handle the
corp with moderate promptness, but
since the receipts have been 80 heavy
that a blockade of serious dimensions
now exists.
Wednesday morning there were in the
Missouri Pacific yards 500 cars of loaded
wheat waiting to be forwarded; In the
Santa Fe yard 400 cars; in the Union
Pacific yards 250 cars, and in the yards
OF all the other roads about 800 cars all
told. Reports from various points In
Kansas state that loaded cars Of wheat
are waiting on the switches for trans
portation. The railroads are doing
everything to break the blockade. All
spare engines have been brought into the
service Of moving the wheat, and 1t Is
expected that in few days all the re-
ceipts of loaded wheat will be forwarded
with reasonable dispatch.

WAR AGAINST LOTTERIES.
An Important Movement Made by the
Postoffice Department..

An Important Movement Made by the
Postoffice Department.
WASHINGTON, Sept. II. Under the
old organization of postoffice inspectors
divisions, the Austin division was com
posed of the states of Texas and Louis
lana, with headquarters at Austin, Tex.
In order to wage war more effectively
on the Louisiana State lottery, the head
quarters of the Austin division have
been moved to New Orleans,
La, and the state of Mississippi
added to the division. This di-
vieion is in charge of Inspector G.. G.
Maynard, whose exploits in arresting
the president Of the Mexican lottery and
the president and directors of the Lou
isiana lottery have recently attracted at
tention.
At the time Of the promotion of Gen
eral Rathbone to be fourth assistant
postmaster general, the lottery people
expressed themselves very freely as
pleased with the turn affairs had taken,
as his vigorous warfare while chief in
spector had made him hated and feared
by them. They breathed freer when he
retired from the chief inspectorship.
But they counted without the cost, for
under the recent reorganization of the
department, among the divisions as
signed to General Rathbone, as fourth
assistant postmaster general, was that
of the postoffice inspectors, and to make
matters still worse for them, the new
chief inspector, Colonel M. d. Wheeler,
assumed the duties of the position with
a determination to carry ON vigorously
the war SO successfully inaugurated un-
der his predecessor.
With these two officials working in
thorough harmony in this matter, it is
not likely that the lottery companies
will derive any appreciable benefit from
the recent change in the postofice de-
partment.

ravishing two little girls, one named
Stockdale, farmers daughter aged
fourteen, and girl named Anna Smith,

Mrs. Bennett is away from home and Is
visiting in Louisville. Wednesday night
the Smith girl induced the Stockdale
girl to stay over night with her. When
the Stockdale girl went home she told
her father she had been outraged. Ben
nett had, at the point of pistol, forced
both girls to submit to his wishes. Ben
nett was taken out and whipped, but
managed to escape after hard struggle.
The citizens of the town are after him,

ARDMoRE, l. T., Sept. 11.-Attorney
Warrand, for the United States court in
the Indian Territory, has dismissed the
prosecutions instituted against the beer
lnen of Ardmore, holding the court had
no jurisdiction, Judge Byrant refusing
to allow prosecutions. This removes
the embargo on the sale of beer with one
exception, its liability Of being destroyed
by Indian police. The Indian agent,
finding himself alone in his efforts to
keep beer out of the territory, will not
be able to accomplish much. 1t may be
safely predicted that beer will now be
sold by the whole of the fifteen saloons
in Ardmore and over the nation gener-
ally.

SARATOGA, Sept. 1.-THE supreme

decision of great Importance to electric
railway companies in this state operat-
ing oy the single trolley system. About
two years ago the Watervliet Turnpike
and Railroad company, operating line
of street railways between Albany and
West Troy, sought to change its motive
power from horses to electricity, using
the single trolley system. The Hudson
River Telephone company was then
operating a telephone line between these
municipalities. They claimed by au-
thority of their franchise and from the
possession of the ground with their
electric line and currents, TO be possessed
Of the sole authority to operate their
currents between the places, using the
earth as return line. Upon this claim
they obtained an injunction against the
street railway company, forbidding
them to use electricity in the manner
proposed, The supreme court declines

Sent Thither.
NEW YORK, Sept 1.-THE Herald's
London special says;
In the statement denying the charge
that Baron Hirsch's money is to be used
to send destitute Russian Jews to Amer
lea, Lord Rothschild probably uses the
word "America" to mean the United
States, as l have just received the fol-
lowing note from DIR. Herman Adler,
chief rabbi of Great Britain:
had a long interview with Baron
Hirsch some little time ago. His desire is
to settle the poor exiled Jews of Russia in
agricultural colonies in Argentina and
Canada. Yours faithfully,
H. ADLER.
This is the most important statement,
made by the highest authority in the
world To those familiar with the fail
ure of the past efforts of Russia to in
duce the Jews to take up agricultural
life, Baron Hirsch's plan-which / now
authoritatively announee-will be inter-
esting. The question is: If Jew will
not dig in Russia will he dig in Argen-
tine or Canada?
