A LOOK AT FLOODED STOCK

What Horseman Found to Interest Him
in a Local Breeders Stables.
Dana H. Morse visited George X. Rus
sells stables and then wrote an interest
ing letter to the American Horse Breeder
which is given herewith:
"A short time since it was nv pleasure
to visit the stables of George K. Russell,
Esq, Bellows Falls, Vt, the home of
Bay Wilkes and Elcano, two royal-bred
stations. Although the mercury was
"way down. the genial superintenden
Wilmoth, would not stop short of giving
me ride through the pleasant streets of
the thrifty town. He first hitched up
Bay Wilkes, horse of great breeding
and substance, the best of finish, and the
most elegant Wilkes stallion ever looked
upon. Nor does he shrink in estimation
as he moves smoothly along, splitting a
cold northwest wind at 2 40 clip, with
out weights or contrivances of any kind
save a harness. Bay Wilkes is driven in
an open bride. He is fearless. though
full to the brim of courage; at the same
time he is gentle and kind as horse can
be. In short, he combines the great
speed elements of the Wilkes ambrino
Patchen cross, with size, style and finish,
that If examined cannot fail to please
the most fastidious.
What l have seen of Bay Wilkes GET
bear strong resemblance to their sire
in all essential points. They are good
lockers, highly finished and square, open
gated trotters. l have three year-old

that stands 10 2, will weigh close to 1000
pounds, is mahogany bay with black
n0ints hitoha l
had any handling for speed whatever.
yet good judges say he can show better
than three-minute clip to sleigh. and
haul two at that. | am not a Judge of
speed, nor do believe in breeding for it
to the exclusion of the more indispensa-
Die qualities, namely, sly lie, action. ele-
gance and durability. And right here
let me say that If this Bay Wilkes stock
fails to fill the bill for trotters. thew are
reasonably certain to come i'm for the
best class of gentlemen's drivers, which
pay best for the common breeder TO raise.
Elcano is richly bred horse. His
sire, Mans field, was by Messenger Duroc,
out OF the great brood mare G zen Noun
tain Maid, dam of eight in the 2 30 list,
Elcano's dam was Fairy. by Hambleto-
Man 10, out of Emma Mills, by Ameri-
can Star IA. This horse is trotter, and
barring accidents will be able to demon
strate the fact whenever given an oppor-
tunity, which time is near at hand, if his
owner carries out his plans. A yearling
filly was shown by Elcano, which gives
promise of being hard one to head off |
this fall if handled for speed, and she is
a dandy all over. Mr.. Russell is one of |
our kind OF men believing in " Living and |
letting hve," and has put the service fee
OF THESE two rich stations at S25 to in
sure. with liberal terms for care and keep
ing ms patrons animals. Surely there
Is no longer need of complaint for exorbi-
tant stations fees, when such great
horses are available at the above rates.

CARoLINA's REPUBLICANS.
Their State Convention in Favor of
Hsrrison's denomination.

COLUMBIA, s. c., April 19.-The state
convention Of the old line, or regular re-
publican party was held here to-day. There
were 125 delegates in attendance, about a
dozen of whom were white. Throughout
the proceedings no interest was manifested
In state politics, everything hinging on
national affairs. In calling the convention
Co order, State Chairman Webster eulo-
gized President Harrisou's administration.
Commenting on the force bill, he said:
THAT ruling prince of parliamentarians,
Thomas Reed, by his splendid management,
secured the passage OF that bill in
the House of Representatives, In
the Senate, through the cowardice or
treachery of some of the republican sena-
tors, this bill was defeated. The Repub-
llcan party insists upon law to secure
southern republicans an honest vote hon
estly counted" Continuing, he said: "With
protection for American industries, labor
and citizens, an honest dollar, an honest bal
lot as planks in the republican platform,
there Is no doubt as to the result OF the
coming election" The remarks on the force
bill were greeted with enthusiasm. For
temporary chairman, DR.. W. d. Crum,
an educated mulatto of Charleston, was
nominated. A delegate hinted that he had
gone back on his obligations to the party.
This Crum denied and withdrew, and
George W. Murray "ths bald black eagle"
who ran for congress, was elected.

oKLARoMA's NEW RUSH.
Many of the Boomers Disappointed in
the Land.

many or the Boomers Disappointed in
the Land.
Ell RENO, o. T., April 19.-The Cheyenne
and Arrapshoe reservations, where 80 900
citizens of the United States found new
homes to-day, is situated in the Indian Ter
ritory between the Cherokee outlet
on the north and the Kiowa,
Comanche and Apache reservation on
tue south. Its eastern border ad.
joins Oklahoma and its western, 1.-THE
Panhandle Of Texas. 1t contains $500
square miles, or 100000 acres. Out of
this the resident Indians have been allotted
by the government $50 $50 acres, giving to
each Of the Indians 100 acres Very few
of the thousands who have been waiting for
weeks on the border and in the frontier
towns for to-days final rusl had anything
but the vaguest idea as to the real charac-
ter OF the land they we're SO anxious to
possess.
EXAGGERATED REPORTS.
Exaggerated reports of the wondrous
fertility of the land were readily believed
and were not easily contradicted. for only
very few people had that intimate knowl-
edge OF the country upon which to base
successful contradiction. So when the rush
was made to-day the boomers believed they
were entering into veritable garden of
Eden. When they had reached their claims
they had really possessed themselves of
section OK very ordinary western prairie
land, with nothing but high grass and very
brackish streams bitter with alkali. That
at least Ia what great majority Of them
found.
INDIANS PICKED THE BEST.
Some Of the land as a matter of course
that along the river bottoms and that in
the valleys, is excellent farming land, but
the Indians were sensible enough to choose
the most of It. or the land remaining to
the white settlers, some of it was good but
most Of it was poor. Many of those who
rushed in full OF hope will slip out quietly
to take advantage Of the next gift of land
by the government.
SCARCITY OF THE NEGRO.
The scarcity of the negro is one of the
surprising things of the occupancy of the
new lands. An estimate by a newspaper
man who has ridden nearly around the
whole border during the past week, places
the proportion of negroes to the whole num-
Der OF settlers at only 16 per cent. 1t was
confidently expected that they would COM
prise fully half OF the homo seekers, but the
greater part Of the negro settlers gathered
at Langston and Cameron, negro towns
that were organized at the time of the open
ing of the eastern reservation, year ago.
From these towns they proceeded, most of
them on foot, to the eastern and south-
country, where all settled as
near to one another as possible in
bunches. Nearly all the remaining negroes
entered the lands from the south and west,
having come from Texas. There was no
organization among the latter and they
took up claims independent of each other
after the manner Of their white brethren.

urday night and numerous efforts to fire
buildings in different parts of the city. A
mass meeting Of citizens was held Monday
on the main plaza Tor the purpose OF taking
action. Thousands were in attendance.
William Ferguson, editor Of the Daily
Democrat, which has been burned out for
the second time, presided and made brief
and earnest address. full Of significance to
the fire bugs. Committees were then ap-
pointed to cooperate with the officers,
organize citizens patrol and raise money
for employing special detectives TO ferret
out the offenders. Last night 500 volunteers
were assisting the police to patrol the city,
and Notwithstanding this precaution, at 9
o'clock second attempt was made to fire
the Kettulla residence on avenue q. Much
excitement exists, and il the fire bugs are
detected they will hardly be saved for trial"
