nous United Shows.

The great outdoor field of tented
entertainment is now substantially oc-
cupied by but two managements, and
Sells Brothers are "equal partners
in the division. In fact in the eX-
elusive possession of many rare crea-
lures and noted performers, they hold
first place, and their visit to TeXar-
kama on Saturday, Oct. IA. is surpass-
ingly rich in wen-founded promises
of elaborate and enjoyable entertain
meut. Their Roman llippodrome,
Wild Moorish Caravan and Spactacu-

Menagerie, Triple Circuses, Tropical
Aquarium, Royal japanese Troupe,

ton. The pension attorney has been
enraged at Secretary Smiths endeav-
or to make the pension list roll of
honor. He says it is an attempt to
starve the old soldiers, and that the
only way to stop it is to asSassinate
the President and Secretary. The
pension agent is not Pittsburger, it
is said, although his identity is kept
a secret for the present. The entire
matter has been reported to Washing

DYING IN LINE.
Cherokee Boomers Over Como by
Heat While Awaiting
Resignation.

ARKANSAS CITY, KAN, Sept IA
The arrivals of home-seekers on the
Cherokee Strip are largely in excess
of the registrations up to the present
time. Fifteen hundred men were
registered yesterday and fully four
thousand arrived at this point At
Orlando aud Hennessy the same thing
was observed. The Hunnewell booths
are closed on account of the supply Of
water becoming exhausted, But lit
tie demand is made on the Kiowa of
flee. At Saltwater water and food
are scarce and still the arrivals in
crease.
1t is safe to estimate one hundred
thousand people near or about the
Strip are ready for the rush. Some
place the number at double that, and
they may be right. The Strip is COW
cred with sooners, all of whom have
registration certificates, at least those
captured have.
There were two deaths in the lines
at the booths here yesterday young
man named Adams from Winfield
and an old man from Missouri
The sun is apparently hotter today
than at any time, and the chances for
fatalities are greater, Orlando makes
the same report. The booth idea has
been demonstrated to be almost a
cruel one, causing much unnecessary
suffering. Six trains, all loaded, ar
rived this forenoon, while the constant
stream of wagons on the country
roads indicate that this is but the
commencement of the rush.
This morning at 8 O'Clock there
were fully 5000 people in the four
lines at the booths. This does not in
clude those leaving their places early
and to whom tickets have been given,
and who came into town for changes
of clothing aud for something to eat
There is constantly growing irrita-
bic feeling among those sweltering in
that never-to-be-forgotten lane.
Threats are freely made that unless
there is an improvement made in the
service the booths will be destroyed
and the clerks driven away. There
were three deaths from exhaustion
this forenoon and the worst has not
come.
The fatalities have come 80 fast that
the question as to their identity is no
longer asked. The number is the in
formation desired. AT Olando, south
of here, the same condition is found,
only at that place here is scarcity of
food and water. Forty car loads Of
people from the north were poured
into Arkansas City this noon and 23
car loads at Caldwell, making over
1000 by rail alone.

VOORHEES, TALKS.
He Thinks the Senate Will Come to a
Vote in Two Weeks.

The debate on the repeal bill, now
being carried on in the Senate. has
reached a point where the people are
beginning to expect something to be
done. Mr.. VOORHEES, being the chief
engineer in the matter they naturally
look to him to take the initial step.
1t is therefore the Indiana statesman
to whom the public at large turn for
information and enlightenment on
this grave and important subject. In
conversation on this subject, with a
prominent newspaper man at Wash
ington yesterday, Mr.. voorhees, ex-
pressed himself as still determined to
press the repeal bill to as early con-
sideration as possible
at is, however, necessary" he said,
to observe the courtesics required by
the traditions and rules Of the Senate
and l really believe by showing due
regard 10 these points we shall be
able to make greater progress than If
we violated Them There is undoubt-
edly scope yet left for considerable le-
gitimate debate, and there is no means,
if there were a disposition, of press
ing the question TO a vote before eve
ry Senator has had an opportunity to
say what he may wish to say. We
have not really consumed much time
in the discussion Of this question as
the country seems to think, and l
have every reason to believe that we
shall all be able to reach a vote in a
comparatively short time"
When pressed for an opinion as to
the probable time of a vote being
reached on the bill in the Senate, he eX-
pressed the belief that the same would
in all likelihood be within the next
two weeks.

ATTEMPTED WRECK.

A dastardly attempt was made on
yesterday to wreck a train on the
Texas and Pacific railway between
this city and the Cotton Belt crossing,
eight miles west Of here. The culprit,
white tramp, was caught in the act
and his arrest accomplished by the
section boss and his crew, who have
charge of the road bed at that point.
1t seems that the section crew came up
on the would be wrecker just as he
was in the act of drawing the last
spikes from the rail, by the re-
moval Of which he intended accom-
plishing his dastardly design. They
found the crow-bar lying close by,
which had been used by him in the
work, Only three spikes remained in
the rail, which of itself would have
insured the wreck of the first train to
pass over the defective spot. The
prisoner was brought to this city and
turned over to Sheriff Moores
Upon being arraigned before JUS
tice Haywood, of the West side, for
preliminary examination, it was as
certained that the mans name is j. w.
Miller, his home at some point in
Kentucky and that he was making his
way to Wills Point, Texas, when ar
rested. After considering the facts
in the case, Justice Haywood held the
defendant to answer to the Bowie
county grand jury in the sum Of $500,
in default Of which he was, this morn
ing, taken to Boston and there confn-
ed in the county jail. The motive for
the crime has not yet been definitely
ascertained, as the culprit persists in
denying his guilt, alleging that the
crime had been committed before his
arrival on the scene.

cussed by the Members of the Board.
The school trustees held their regular
weekly meeting last night. Those pres
ent were Mrs. Ladd and Messrs. Wright,
Atkinson, Gockstetter and Kellison.
Abscnt-Messrs Cooper and Hanks.
Mr.. Wright was called to the chair in
the absence of the president.
Several reports of committees we're
considered. among them two recommen-
datlons from one committee. Mr..
Gockstetter's report favored the employ.
ment uf experts to examine the books of
school district No. | from its ~orgauiza
ton up 10 the present time in order to
find out how the school money had been
expended and for what purposes and
who had received it; also to ascertain
what land and how much the school
district owned, and the actual bonded
Indebtedness of the district. He said
that the taxpayers demanded that this
board make a full statement of all the
linanciaI transactions of the district and
that a better system Of book keeping
should he adopted. The investigation.
he said, could be done for s121 hy two
competent experts.
Mr.. Wright reported that be was in
favor OF Il thorough Investigation of the
affairs Of the school district. but al the
present time he thought the district was
not financially able to bear the expense
Of an expert examination of the books.
The reports were discussed at some
lehgth but no action vas taken upon
them.
The next matter up for discussing was
the report Of County Attorney Freeman
81 the 3l,!jU school bonds sale deal.
Mr.. Wright stated that some action
should he taken on the report and steps
taken To recover the $3.50 illegally paid
out of the school funds on the order of
certain members of the board, and that
the county attorney should be author
lied to criminal proceedings
against the parties implicated at once.
The matter was discussed for some time,
anu the opinion was expressed that the
county attorney was neglecting his duty
in not prosecuting the parties connected
with the deal; that Mr.. Palmer had not
fulfilled the contract he made to sell the
bonds. and that the warrant for Sl,9JO

The WEST SIDE ROW
Jacob f. SeSar L. Bound over to
the District Court for
Trial.
He Failed 10 Prornre BOndSmen and
j. Committed to the Comfy
Jail.

The hearing in the case Of the state
against Jacob f.. Seagor, charged with an
assault with intent to commit murder,
came Off in Justice Hawkins court yes
terday. 1t will be remembered by the
readers of THE TRIBUNE that on Sunday
evening, Nov. T., that Scager and others
were IN the office of the Arlington hotel,
on the West side, and a dispute arose
about something, when Seager grabbed
ID beer glass and threw It, striking Frank
Coates, one of the proprietors of the
hotel, on the head, intlicting a serious
wound, which may yet cause his death.
The following is n synopsis Of the testi-
mony in the justice court:
Il. T.. Coates testified that Seager had
a row with his brother. Frank, on Sat,
urday. On Sunday, the day Of the as
sault, Seager had been drinking. He
had some words with Theodore Grantier
and the two men started to fight. My
brother and another man interfcrcd and
separated them. \ few minutes after
that | saw the beer glass thrown. At
the time it was thrown Grantier was
Just passing through a hall door and
Scager was in the wash room
The fragments of the beer glass were
then introduced. One of the pieces was
taken from the brain Of the wounded
a
Grantier testified that the row between
him and Seagor commenced by the lat
ter saying TO him that he had no use for
brotherhood pimps,' referring to the
railroad union to which he (Grantier)
belonged. Blows were exchanged, when
Coates and another man separated them.

when the beer glass was thrown.
O. G. Edwards testified that Sragrr

and Seager admitted that he had been
drinking. Seager said: II will get him
yet. (Mpaning Grautler) lie will 90 To-

William Coates eworc that he saw the
defendant throw the glass and saw II

pressed regret for hitting his brother.
Fred Feisted swore that Soager told
him that he owed five years servitude
IN AN eastern peniten'iary for a crime he
had committed a few years ago. This
evidence was ruled ont by the justice.
This closed the evidence. J. y. Lar
gent. counsel for the defendant. asked
for the discharge Of the prisoner on the
ground that the state had failed 10 prove
any intent to commit the crime charged
in the complaint, viz: intent to commit
murder.
County Attorney Freeman opposed
the motion. Justice Hawkins overruled
the motion. The Judge then fixed the
bond of Seager at $1,000, and failing TO
procure boddemen he was committed to
the county jail for trial at the next term
of the district court,
