1T is A WEARY LAND.
Boomers Getting Out of the Strip
as Fast as Possible.
Fires Scorch Them, They Have No
Water and There Are Many
Bitter Fights.

ARKANSAS CITY, Kaus., Sept. 18.-Dis-
appointed boomers are returning by hun
dreds. There were at least ten men 10
every claim Oh the strip. and, as conse-
Quence, there will be contests without
number. and there are reports of several
mHrders committed on account of them.
Deaths by prairie fires are also reported to
be numerous. The strin was again visited
by hot winds to-day. TIE wind reached a
velocity Of thirty-six miles an hour. 1t
was laden with intense heat and sand and
made life a burden. 1t caused rapid
spread of the prairie fires and reports of
loss of life in the flames are expected to
be numerous.
Nearly every towDsite in the strip has
rival. Enid. one of the official county seats
on the Rock Island road has rival with
the same name two miles south OF it. The
Government refused to locate the site at
the Rock Island station because the Indian
allotments were taken adjoining it. Now
the Rock Island refuses to stop trains at
the Government site and Is doing all il can
to aid the rival town. The Government
town of Perry is also being ignored by the
Santa Fe, on which line it is.
This 'evening two more murders were
reported from Perry. George Hastings
shot and killed Hugh johnson of Arkansas
over a disputed claim, and a man namea
Bedford shot one Nilderbrand during
quarrel over woman.
ST LOUIS. Sept. 1S.-A special to the
Republic from Arkansas City says: Asa
Youmans of Carthage, Mo, paid by syn
dicate, took two lots in the strip before
the opening. The boomers attempted TO
dislOdge him and one asked for his certiti-
cate. Youmans said he had killed two
settlers and would kill more. and the men
then strung him up to a tree and left his
body as q warning to "sooners"
Usage. Oklohama. Sept 1S.-Ths re-
treat from the Cherokee strip is still
in force and each train which pulls
into the union depot from the southwest
brings hundreds of disconsolate boomers.
One and all tell the same story of mis-
management of the registration booths
and the mad race for land last Saturday.
The tale is severe reflection on the Gov
ernment's management of the opening of
the strip.
Kansas and Oklahoma were swept to-
day by another hot wind. The sky was
obscured by clouds most of the day, but
the temperature rose to % deg. in this city,
and at various points in Kansas the ther-
mometer recorded as high as 81 and SO
deg. The late corn, already damaged by
long drought, has been badly burned and
all vegetation parched to a crisp. The
wind reached velocity varying in local-
ties from 35 to 40 miles an hour. In the
cities and towns slight damages are re-
ported.
GUTHRIE. o. T., Sept. 1S.-A courier just
in from the Pawnee Reservation states
that terrific prairie fire is raging there
and hundreds of settlers have been CON-
PEELED to abandon wagons, tents and out
fits and flee for their lives on horses. Sew
eral dead bodies have been found and il is
feared many will perish Boomers are re-
turning to-day By hundreds, dirty, tired
and sore.

ALL GAMBLERS Go.
Judge Ross Strikes the
Highbinders.
LABORERS UNDER THE LAW.
Congress Clearly Intended to Reach
the TloSt Vicious Class
of Chinese.

Los ANGELES. Sept. IS.-In Judge Ross
decision declaring that Chinese gambler
comes IN the category with those who must
register. and having failed to register,
must be depOrted, he said, among other
things: Undoubtedly a gambler is not
laoorer In the ordinary and popular mean
Ing OF that term; nor a highbinder, whose
avocation is understood to be the COM
mission OF any and every species OF crime.
III the act in question Congress did not
define the term Chinese laborers" To
ascertain the meaning of the words used
the purpose of the act must be onsidered.
AS lis sixth section. providing as il does
Tor the expulsion from this country of all
chinese laborers within it at the time of
the passage of the act who should fail to
comply with the provisions. whether they
came here at the invitation of the
Government or otherwise, in its stringency
went far beyond the provisions of the
existing treaties between the two coun-
tries. 1t would be altogether unreasonable
to hold that the words "Chuese laborer"
In that very section of the act were used in
any narrower sense than were the same
words In the treaty under which Congress
was egislating. The history ofnegotations
as already detailed clearly shows that
throughout them the United States Com
mlssiOners insisted that the words Chi
nese laborers" should include all immigra-
tion other than that for teaching, trade,
travel, study and curiosity.
Then Judge Ross pointed out that the
Chinese Commissioners objected to this
classification, but their objection did not
prevail. Read, therefore, in the light of the
accompanying proceeding, it is clear that
the words "Chinese laborers," employed in
the treaty of 1880. are not limited to those
who do hard, manual work, but that they are
broad enough in their true meaning and
intent to include Chinese gamblers and
'highbinders. and for the reasons al
ready given it is manifest that Congress
in passing the act of May 5, 1892, did not
use the words "Chinesa laborers" in any
narrower sense than were the same words
in the treaty under which it was Iegislat-
ing. 1t results that there must be findings
for the Government and an order that the
defendant be deported.
The highlander decision by Judge Ross,
given to-day. has the effect of deporting
or ordering deported, six Cinnamon. The
case of All Fawn was made test one, it
having been agreed on the other cases to
stand or fall by it. Marshal Gard will
start Tomorrow with fifteen Cinnamon for
San Francisco. The police will arrest all
fan-tan and lottery-shop proprietors for
deportation.

Congress Will Ask for Gresham's
Chinese Correspondence.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 18.-This being

sion is had a. that time the substance of

Government and the State Department
may be made public. The State Depart
ment may refuse to give out the text of
this correspondence, as being incompati-
Bile with the good of the public service,
but it is we'll known that several Con-
gressmen are familiar with the substance
of it.

SILLY AND VICIOUS.
The Governor of Nebraska Not Favor
able to Silver Secession.


LINCOLN. Npbr., Sept. IS - Governor
CrOnnse has declined to appoint delegates
TO the convention called by the Pan
American Bimetallic League at ST. Louis.
In a letter TO Secretary Olney Newell of
Denver be says: "The call not only
excludes many States from partic-
pating in the consideration of
question which concerns all alike,
but the arraignment of certain ones
among them as engaged in conspiracy
against the South and West, as well as
the further proposition to institute a sec
tional boycott against them, is in my
Judgment both silly and vicious. No, Mr..
Newell, Nebraska through no consent of
mine will join in sowing the seeds of
secession at 81. Louis. If she appears
there it will be through volunteers. Not
unlike some States in her eighborh ood.
she has plenty of individuals who no
doubt could delight your convention.

holds no parity with their ability to talk,
would gladly engage in a crusade up to
their 'bridlebits' against the imaginary
consriraiors of London. Berlin, New York

GET RID OF IT,


if you have Catarrh. Don't merely
relieve it for time with poisonous,
irritating snuffs and strong caustic
solutions. While you seem to be
getting help, you may be getting
harm. Stopped in this way, it's
usually only driven to the lungs.
You're worse off than ever.
But you can get rid of it COM
pletely, with DR.. Sage's Catarrh
Remedy. That's been proved over
and over again, in thousands of the
most hopeless cases. By its mild,
soothing, cleansing and healing prop
critics, Catarrh in the Head and all
Catarrhal affections are perfectly
and permanently cured.
Some physicians will tell you that
Catarrh can't be cured. They mean
that they can't cure it. DR.. Sage's
Catarrh Remedy can.
And to prove that they believe
it, the proprietors of this medicine
will pay $500 for an incurable case
of Catarrh.
They don't see one often, but
