I'm Oklahoma Territory.

KING FISHER, o. T., April 11.-Today
there is an almost unbroken line of en-
campment along the borders of the Chey
enne aud Arapahoe reservation. and every
moment the ranks of the boomers receive
recruits. Most of the boomers are OF
fine class of immigrants, although num-
ber of Texas negroes, who are poorly
equipped, are waiting on the south side.
In spite of the vigilance of the soldiers,
some people have slipped into the coun
try, and when the opening comes 1t is
PROBABLE every place offering any con-
cealment will be occupied by ''sooners."
The facilities of the towns along the hor-
der are taxed to the utmost to accommo
date the rush. A line has already formed
in front of the land Office. The townsites
of the six new counties are surveyed and
artistically named.

BASKING IN THE SUN.

The love of sunshine is naturally one a..
our strongest instincts and we should be;
far better and healthier If we took more Of
it. All of these things should be enjoyed
in moderation. Even walking, if theexer
else is carried to the point of fatigue, IS
hurtful to the invalid. 1t takes the rarest
common sense to tell just what the sick
should do and should not do in order to-
obtain the best results and the least injury
from these things. This is certain, that:
the first thing that the sick must attend to-
is to see that the digestion is in perfect:
order. When this is not the case the evil
may be remedied by taking the Laxative
Gum Drop. These gum drops are thebest
things in the world for people with weak.
