which no words can,portray. The
greatest of blessings has come

Surely, if any man should he

Over million other homes in

is in each of those homes fear

The people, the great working

The great middle class, they who
have little capital but their labor
and by the work they are able to
give other poorer than themselves

After discussing the cause of the
financial trouble aud pointing out
that National banks have been the
Presidents chief advisors, the
Judge continues:
You may say: ''The people and
the press demand it," Send for
the members Of congress, Mr..
President, who voted for REPEAL

upon them by the north wind that
prevails in this locality. This line
at dark tonight was two and one
half miles in length. A second
line extends eastward from the
booth for over mile, and a third
runs parallel with the FIRST.
| THE STRIP A BARREN DESERT. !.
The strip itself is a rusty red
color. It extends to the southeast
and west as far as the eye can
reach but not green thing is
visible in the vast scope. Most Of
the strip has been swept clean by
the prairie fires. The small creeks
and rivers that are usually filled
with water are dry and in many
places the springs refuse to yield
up their bountiful supply Of water
as usual. Lieut.. Caldwell who is
patroling the 400 square miles in
the southeast corner Of the strip,
was as at the booths this afternoon.
He said that the water was never
so scarce in this locality before,
and he says that great distress will
be suffered by the settlers when
they rush into the strip next Satur-
day. Men. in his opinion, will
find it difficult to find enough wat
err to queuch their thirst, to say
nothing of the horses, that will
require an unusual amount after
their long run. For fifteen miles
south of the border there are but
five springs, and these are located
at the eastern end of the strip.
The settlers in camp around the
border are beginning to realize
what the unprecedented drought
means to them, end all of them
are supplying themselves with
canteens with which to carry
water. But for the horses there is
no relief. and unless there be a
heavy fall of rain before the signal
to start is given many fatalities
will be reported next Sunday.
MORE CROWDS COMING.
The influx of settlers has been
much greater today than at any
previous time. In addition to the
prairie schooners, the railroad
trains are loaded to their utmost
capacity. Aisles and platforms
are crowded and every train comes
in in two or three sections. Those
who were present at the Oklahoma
opening say that there are more
people on the border now than
when the signal was given for the
start four years ago. The number
here will undoubtedly be doubled
in the next six days. C. B.
Strohm, train dispatcher of the
Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe R.'Y.
stated tonight that:it was definite
ly settled that all regular freight
and passenger trains would run
through the strip on Sept, 16 on
schedule time.
The Cherokee Land Company,
OF which K. L. Owen is president,
has gained control of the Cherok &c
allotments. Most of these have
been selected with view to their
advantage as townsites, and towns
will be started in all desirable
|parts. These will be the only
towns which perfect and immedi-
ate titles can be given. Where they
viii be located has not yet been
given to the public and will not
be until Mr.. Owen arrives from
Washington. Each of these allot-

Third. That the free use Of dIsIn-

where II becomes unavoidable for II
to remain for some time exposed to

lime should be used very freely, and
the Department OF Public Works is re.
quested to demand the use OF this dis

above mentioned.
There are other and more antisep

OF using them In so liberal manner,

Among the early lawyers of Missouri
were Judge James c. and General John
c., brothers, both excellent lawyers and
splendid advocates. General John, when
occasion required, closed his argument to
the jury bathed in tears himself, with most
of the jury and audience weeping too
One day he and Judge James were trying
case, james prosecuting and John de
Tending. James made his speech, strong
one for his side of the case, and ended with
telling the jury.
Gentlemen, my brother John will ad
dress you on the other side Of the case, and
! want to caution you, he will cry and try
to make you cry. He does it in all hi:
cases"
General John then spoke to the jury
making one OF the very best Of his pathetic
appeals, causing jury and audience to for
get james admonition, and as tears wert
flowing John, with great drops rolling
down his cheeks, said to the jury:
My brother Jim told you would cry
am crying. and, gentleman of the jury, i
you had such id mean brother a

The heroic crusade against unen-
titled pensioners, inaugurated by the
present administration, may be con-
coded to be all right In theory. and as
far as it lie just, equitable and consis-
tent In practice, it will be approved
by patriotic people generally, and
even by the soldiers themselves.
But there ought to be unqualified

A San Francisco man had been In bed for
