CATTLE IN THE STRIP.
The Bsrons are StHi in Possession OF That Part
OF the TERRITORY.

A well known farmer of Corwin, Har-
per county was in the city yesterday and
stated to reporter for the EAGLE that the
cattle barons still have possession of the
Cherokee strip, public statements to the
contrary Notwithstanding Jerry Simp-
son, " said he has told US in his campaign
speechs that he caused the strip TO be
vacated and has made the people believe
that il is. | want 70 say now WHEN here
is no political object 10 be made that Jerry
Simpsons pretentions in that line We're
false. Everybody who knows anything
about the strip knows that Is IS full OF
cattle. Immediately south Of kowa as is
well known 20 every body ir that town,
there are at least $1,000 grazing, and of
this Jerry Simpson is aware for he has
been notified of the fact. Hunters all
through that country this season have had
a very good chance TO form an idea of the
number of intruders, aud they say that
not ouly the country south of hiowa Is
full of cattle but that the entire strip IS
OVERLOOKING with them. | want to tell you
some facts that will throw some light On
the subject Caldwell and kiowa are the
two great points where the Cherokee strip
caJtlemen dominate local politics. Two
days before the election at kiowa Jerry
Simpson did not have corporal's guard
of followers while the Democrats were
openly lighting for Chester l. Long. The
night before the election some leading
Democrats of Medicine Lodge went TO
Kiowa and held a conference with the dis
satisfied Democrats and the next day they
all voted to man for Simpson. Now.
then, 1t seems plain that the Democrats Of
Medicine Lodge had been authorized by
Simpson to make promises to the kiOwa
Democrats with reference TO the cattle for
the Kiowa cattlemen constitute the Demo
cratic party Of that city. The Inference
of this conference, and the fact that Simp-
sou received large majority there on
election day is plain. ! am informed that
the same condition of affairs existed at
Caldwell with the same result. l want
the Cherokee strip to open, but we can't
trust Jerry Simpson to do it. On the
other hand think be will do everything
in his power in an underhand way to de-
feat the measure when it is brought up.
At any rate he will bear watching.

SANTA CLAUS at THE BOSTON.
Nearly 5000 Little Children TAX. Candy From
Him in the Afternoon

The happiest throng of little children
seen anywhere yesterday was that which
assembled at the Boston store at D. NJ. to
tender reception to Santa Claus, who
met them in all the finery of bis robes and
happy good natured paternal smile for
every body. The Boston Santa Claus was
revelation TO the little children on ac-
count of the natural look on his face and
the fine robes he was dressed in. At
an early hour the little folks
were on hand and ranged in
ages from four to dozen years. 1t was
a real pleasure 70 see them and to watch
their happy faces. Great big men. busy in
the affairs of life. stopped and watched
them for minutes as they would some fine
picture, for what fiaer picture can be seen
than 8. 800 children crowdin2 around a rep
resentative Santa Claus and employing all
the arts of juvenile diplomacy to make
themselves solid with him. One little
chap edged his way up to the venerable
figure and asked him if he was Santa Claus
Upon being assured that he was, he
stated that he had a poem TO recite
for him and then proceeded to tell
in rhyme his story. winding up by
describing to him the number of the house
and street in which he lived and how to
reach its chimney and supplemented his
remarks with catalogue of what he ex-
pected at Christmas 1t was truly an i'm
pressive scene and one that would soften
the heart OF the most pronounced crank
who effects to despise the Santa Claus
illusion. It is cold cranky thing to de-
stroy an illusion that brings happiness to
little children.
At o'clock great shout went Up from
$500 little Threats when policeman came
around to open passage way into the
Boston store. The great stout
limb of the law could do nothing with the
little ones so Santa Claus had to dispense
his gifts in the open sidewalk. These
gifts were packages of candy nicely done
up in handsome little boxes. the concep-
tion of the managers of the Boston store
who are always anxious to please the
little children during Christmastide. The
dear old Santa" worked for nearly two
hours with Roth hands giving out these
favors and when the last child had de-
parted exactly 800 boxes had been given
out. While all this was being done the
large and spacious Boston store was
crowded with the happy mothers
of the children who were
purchasing toys to present to their chill
dren through the invisible Santa Claus
Sunday morning 1t was hard to tell
which were the happiest, the mother or
the children. The Boston store never
does anything half way and when they
advertise an attraction they find no
trouble in getting the crowd. AS late AS
O'Clock last night it was almost inn
possible for one to edge his way through
the crowd in the store, it was so full of
buying their Christmas presents.

THEFINEST oFrHE SEASON.

The patronage accorded the opera house
last night ought to convince Mr. Crawford
that first class attractions insure first class
audiences. Mile Rhea appeared for the
first time in Wichita and there is no one
10 shy that she dill not fully sustain the
reputation that preceded her or that she
does not deserve the place to which critics
have assigned her in the theatrical world.
She has very noticeable French accent; in
fact an Embarrassing one, but for all that
her Interpretation OF tue noble
character of Josephine, Empress of the
French, was superb. Frank Hart. as
Napoleon, was beyond criticism. He is a
little too tall for the character, but in
every other respect he represented the
Little Coryoral" admirably. 1t is II hard
matter to single ont characters for special
notice in such Il play, as they were all
good. The company was so much
better than what are known
as average good companies in this city that
it is hard matter to describe it so that
those who We're not there can have the
proper conception of what a really good
attraction they missed The costumes
were beautiful aud were highly admired
by the ladies of Wichita who have criti-
cal eye for everything fine in that line.
Diamonds sparkIed from every neck, ear
and bosom, and there was a certain grace
about every character that showed perfec-
tion in their art. II Rhea should ever
again find it convenient TO come TO Wich-
tia she can feel assured Of profitable en-
gagement
