Emigration Exceeding immigration tor the

NV YORK, Sept. l6.-For the first
time in many years the number of peo
pie leaving this port for Europe ex

abroad. Since the first week in Angus,
the steamship companies carrying ltal
ian emigrants have been overrun With
applications for passage from this por'
to their native land. Last week the

1t is the custom Of the Italians 10
come TO this country in the early part
of the year, sell peanuts and grind
hand organs until October and Novem
Der and then sail for sunny Italy with
the proceeds Of their thrift and remain
there until the spring. Some of their
engage in other occupations, such W
working on the railroads and in the
brick yards, but in a majoritySkraake,
a hand organ and monkey and n Tia

earn a livelihood and put away n nest

earlier than usual and the number OF
Italians leaving is greatly in excess o.
that of past years. The increased
traffic was unexpected by the team
ship companies and they were o pre-
pared to accommodate such large
crowds. Arrangements are making
now, however, TO tho end that ample
facilities will be afforded for all those
desiring 10 leave the country.

DIR. Senner, the commissioner Of i'm
migration at the port Of New York,
says that for fully six weeks emigra.
ton has exceeded immigration. He
says that the o rigid enforcement
of the contract labor law has caused
immigration TO decrease by forcing the
steamship companies to live mp to- the
regulations prescribed by the United
States government which debar for
eigners untitled for citizenship. The
excess Of emigration over that custom
airy in the fall he accounts for by the
industrial depression that recently pre-,

Sioux FALLS, S. d., Sept. 17.-Father
Hare, of Aberdeen. and Father Ahern,
of Flandreau, were in town Friday
and left on the afternoon Burlington
for Dubuque to attend the investiture OF
Archbishop Hennessey. Father Hare
freely declared that an important part
of his mission was TO stop those lies

charges have been preferred against
Bishop Marty" and then added:
Charges have been preferred, because
l preferred them myself" Father
Hare said that he proposed to see
Mgr. Satolli at Dubuque and to see to
il that the truth in reference to the
Marty affair was given to the world. +"
This announcement will create quite a
sensation in Catholic circles in this
state ms there has been much specula-

been preferred, and il so, by whom
they had been made. 1t has been re-
peatedly guessed that Father Hare
knew much about IL. but SO far he has
refused to show his hand, though the

Father Ahcrn, who was present during
this interview. simply said: You may

HIS OCCUPATION GONE
The Old Time Boomer Who Has Watched
the Sfrii for IMantY Year,.

the Strip tor twenty Years.
ARKANSAS CITY, Kas., Sept. 17.-For
twenty years the old-time boomer has
made his headquarters in and about
this city; for twenty years he has lived
in a tent or a wagon and clamored for
the Indians land; for twenty years he
has made spasmodic attempts to enter
forbidden lines and take possession OF
and not his own; for all this time he
has done every conceivable thing but
work, and. now that his mission here
is accomplished, what will become of
him? Where will he find more land to
covet?
II is a well known and authenticated
fact hat the genuine boomer. who
spends year after year agitating the
question of opening Indian lands to
settlement and cries long and loud for
homes for the homeless and never set
ties down to work upon the land when
il is opened, but soon wanders of,
seeking fields of further agitation. a
hopeless task seemed these Cherokee
strip boomers to have had all these
years; but SO persistent, SO clamorous,
| 90 incessant were they that they could
not help but win in time.
Early in the 70s a few settlers who
a me to southern Kansas, being una.
BILE to locate the state line correctly,
settled upon the other side On land
| sacred to the use Of the Indian.
Just south Of this city a number OF
| the settlers were across the line, and
| began farming upon land now occu'
pied by the Chillocco Indian school.
| It was not long, however, until q de-
| tachment of soldiers came along and
removed them and placed permanent
monuments I designate the boundary
between Kansas and the Indian Terri
tory.
IL was this removal, by force, o.
honest. toiling settlers that caused the
question to arise in the minds Of thu
people, "Why should all these broad
acres OF fertile land remain unused
4, and unoccupied when there are thous
ands upon thousands of people who
have no homes?"
The only answer that could be giver
was that the land had been set apar
for the Indian. The Indian, however
did not occupy nor use 1t, and the PEG
! ple loon began to demand that 1t b.
! opeued MP for settlement.

WISCONSIN, FOREST FIRES.
No Truth In the Reported Deaths From the
Flames. .


Flames.
MARsnFIELD, Wis, Sept. 16.-This
city is in a panic on account Of forest
fires. Many families in the surround.
ing districts have been burned out and
children are reported missing, but no
loss of life has been definitely reported.
Yesterday the forest fires assumed such
proportions that the whole city was in
danger. The fire department
was out till late at night
fighting fires inside the limits. Farm,
ers from the surrounding country came
in wagon loads for refuge in the city.
Many were burned out completely. Thu
surrounding towns are laid waste,
smoke fills the air, binding everyone.
The Wisconsin Contra trains are aban'
doned, and north from here are run
ming over the Omaha road. Two train5
ran together while transferring last
night. One engine is now In the ditch.
Mcmillan telephoned for help last
evening. A train went out aud brought
back thirty families who were burned
out. The high wind made the fires
udiu W cOutTOl. flTtb are btli DuTn'
ing, but the wind has gone down TO.
day.
Later dispatches state that there IL
no truth in the report that people have
been burned 10 death i'm the surround
ing country. The only living thing
burned so far as known was a yoke Of
oxen, which dropped in the road from
suffocation, while on the way To this
city, drawing the household effects OF
a farmer who had been burned out.
MERRILL, Wis, Sept. 10. -Forest fires

MARINETTE. Wis. Sept. 16. -Forest
fires are raging TO such an extent IN
Marinette county that considerable
apprehension is felt for the safety Of
the small towns which are situated in
the midst of the forest. Word has
been received from Peshtigo, Porter

that they have been fighting the fire
with all their available means for the
last three days.

Land Office Consolidation Likely.

MITCHELL, 5. d., Sept. 17.-From adj

source it seems that the consolidation
of the lankton land Office with the
Mitchell Office is only a matter Of a
short time. The most prominent cam
didate for the Office of receiver is Mayor
Welch of this city, who has more in
dorsements for the place than all the
other candidates combined. His APP

Gently arrested pear Spirit Lake, Ia,
for the robbery Of the p~ostoffice at Es-
t%elline, Harrison county, this state.
The men were arraigned late in the
afternoon before United States Com
missioner w. II. Lyon. They waived
examination and were bound over TO
the United States grand jury in the
sum of 80, 900 each. Randall said he
was 81 years OF age and that
he lived in Paducah, Ky. Burke
said he was ~ years of age
and that he lived in Rock Island, Ill.
On the way To Sioux Falls the men adj
mitted their guilt and seemed to enjoy
the prospect before them. Both claim
that they can get bail, but the officers
take no stock in the claim. The trial
will take place here. Inspector Eos
ness thinks these are the men who since
July have broken into the ~postofiices
at Krangburv, Codington county, Ala
mont, Duel county. Willow Lake, Clark
county, and Goodwin, ~Codington
county. At Willow Lake they went
through three stores the same night

ness that disregarded every OBJ
structien, the drivers yelling and
urging their horses with whip
as we'll as voice. Then
followed heavier wagons in clouds OF
dust, the noise made by their wheels
resembling long continued rolls of
thunder. Behind these came anxious
footmen carrying blankets, water and
stakes, regardless Of the heat and dust.
Before them was the unknown, behind
them were a!lthe discomforts of that
hell upon earth. Orlando. The trains
were loaded rapidly. At first there was
an attempt to examine the registration
certificates, but this was soon given up
as the rushing thousands pushed those
ahead of them, the trainmen giving all
their time to collecting the tickets.
The first train of twelve cars pulled
across the line at noon, crowded as
trains never were before. Plato rms
and roofs of cars were as black with
human life as were the insides. Fol
lowing this train with an interval oil
only two or three minutes went an.
other and another until the last, con
sisting of fiat and coal cars, all crowded,
had pulled across the line, followed by
at least 5000 disappointed, painting
men.

The run to Perry was made in three.
quarters of an hour. Before the train
stopped, men began climbing out of
the windows and jumping the plat
forms, in their haste to secure the
claims. Ahead of the train there were
at least 1000 horsemen who had come
over the ten miles in unprecedented
short time and claimed all the lots
about the land Office ana the public
well. They were rubbing down their
weary horses as the trains were unload
ing. Soon the last of the trains pulled
in and the scramble for land continued
with increased vigor. The quarter sec

but in every direction lines were being
run and additional towns laid out TO be
called North Perry, South Perry, East

BY 2 o'clock fully 20, 900 men and
