STATE BANK TAX.
Sentiment in the West Alleged to be
Dead Against it's Repeal.

Chicago, Sept 1s.-The Tribune in
structed correspondents at a number of
cities within radius of 500 miles from
Chicago to interview the officials of the
state banks on the question of the repeal
of the 10 per cent. tax on state bank circu-
lation. The sentiment is emphatically
opposed to the repeal of the tax and issue
of state bank nOtes-so emphatic as to be
almost unanimous. Even in western
cities, where it might be expected de-
sire for state bank circulation would have
considerable hold, there is marked disap-

THE STRIP.
Already a Cyclone Catches On to the
New Situation.


Arkansas City, Kas, Sept. ls-A gale
swept the Cherokee strip to-day, lifting
great volumes of black, dry earth and
tearing tents away from their fastenings
Tent doors were laid out by the wind,
and little progress was made by the
army of town builders Thous-
ands Of people to-day moved out Of
the land of promise. Many have lost
property. Many others will have posses
sion Of the farms of those who abandoned
their claims to return to their homes,
thoroughly disguised with the country.
At Perry the sooners have full, but dis
puted possession of the business center,
and business men are being driven
to the town of Wharton, a mile
below where the railroad buildings are
located in the center of the Indian allot-
ments The Cherokees are almost giving
away to those who will erect buildings,
the railroad encouraging the abandonment
of Perry in the interest of Wharton. The
line of the claim-takers surrounding the
land Offices rivals in mum Ders the line that
awaited their turns at the registration
booths before the opening.
CHARRED BODIES ON THE PRAIRIEs.
Reports coming in to-day are all to the
effect that the Choctaw claims in the
strip were all taken by sOOners. Those
who made the great race honestly last
Saturday found the bottom lands all
taken and in many instances men
were at work plowlng the
ground about houses half completed
of sod or boards. These soOners have
profited by their Oklahoma experience.
1t will be impossible to convict them of
perjury this time. They all will have
their Witnesses on hand to swear each
other out, and the man who had
the swift race horse will have
no show, because none of his
friends were with him Numerous prai-
RE fires have been the cause of more
deaths than siX-shoOters, and more
charred bodies on which there was moth
ing to identify them, were found on the
prairies.
THREE sOoNERs KILLED.
Near Blackwell four quarter sections
We're found in possession of many sooners
by the racers when they came in on their
foam-hecked horses. The claims were
valuable, and the racers proceeded to
drive the sooners away. A fight en-

killed Arthur johnson of Pueblo, Col.
George Childs of Valley Falls, 5. d., and
James Squires of Hennessey, Oklahoma,

held here tonight and resolutions
adopted demanding the surrender to the
civil authorities of the soldier who killed
j. A. Hill at the line of the ChillcO reser-
walton Saturday afternoon. Officers of the
Third cavalry persistently decline to give
the name of the soldier who did the

was simply obeying orders. The remains
