Beecher Hooker was not appointed
upon any of the committees that are To
remain. Her enemies say that she
was sighted because she Endorsed
Phoebe Couzins. But her friends say
that she has reproved Ph9be and has
tried To make her see the errors of her
way.
Anyway Mrs Hooker goes home. She
will stop at Evanstoa, Ill, To visit
some relatives Of Frances Willard
and then will go east 10 see her sister.
Harriet Bcecher Stowe.
Before Mrs Hooker goes home she
will unveil bust of Mrs. Stowe and
will present IL To Mrs. Potter Palmer
for the library of the WoTnan's build
ing:
The bust Is the work of Miss Anne
Whitney. Of Boston, who charged one
thousand dollars for doing it. The
money was raised by contributions Of
ten cents each from the school children
of Connecticut. and after the fair the
bust is Ia b@ put in the public library
of Hartford, where Mrs. Stowe lives.
No one who has not read Uncle Toms

Unfortunately, Mrs. Stowe IL too fee bic

SCENES AT THE OPENING.
Yesterday the Mad Crowds. surged
Into the Strip to Stay.

Arkansas City, Kas., Sept. 16.-One
hundred thousand people settled upon
Cherokee strip to-day. At noon the sig
mai was given announcing the passing of
title of land from the United States gov
eminent TO the boomers, and race, such
as was never witnessed before and will
probably never be seen again, was
begun. On the lines in the yicin-
ity of the various border towns the
boomers had gathered in great numbers.
AS far as the eye could reach in either
direction, could be seen men mounted, and
in wagons and on foot closely packed to-
gether, making a solid column OF 200 feet
in the middle, and tapering away TO a
mere streak in the distance.
INDEsoRIBABLE SCENES.
The scene when the column broke at
the firing of the signal gun and each lndi-
vidual entered TO contest for q common
prize can be imagined better than de-
scribed. Confusion reigned everywhere
So closely were contestants packed to-
gether that the start was a hazardous
one Horsemen were unseated, wagons
overthrow and pedestrians prostrated
in the mad rush to be OFF
Cries of angry men mingled with the
neighing of panic-stricken horses, the
shouts of races, the Gathering of hoofs,
the rattling of wagons and the shrieks of
the locomotives, combined in a roar
similar to that accompanying the pro-
gress Of a tornado.
SOME WERE KILLED.
In the race many men were injured and
some killed. OF the latter some met
death by accident and two were mur-
dered. The details of the crimes are not
known, but the dead bodies, one stabbed
and the other shot through the head. tell
the story of death. Many dead have
been found on the prairie. Some died of
over-exertion, and some were killed
by falling in the race,
and others received broken limbs.
Wagon and freight train loads of supplies
followe the settlers into the strip. The
teams distributed provisions at the va
rious country seats and town sites
wherever stores have been opened in can
vas tents pending the erection Of build
ings. Camp fires throughout the prairies
in all directions are seen tonight where
homeseekers have established temporary
camps.
