An Ovation to the New COMMANDMENT

A rousing reception was rendered Com
mander-in- Chief John G. B. Adams, of the
Grand Army, upon his return home at Lynn.
He was received at the depot by Past Com
manders Hoitt and Parker. of Gen. Lander
Post, 5, the largest Post in the State, of which
Capt. Adams is a member, and was escorted to
Post 5, Headquarters Hall, by 200 veterans of
Post 5 and Posts of neighboTing cities and
towns There a short reception was held, fol-
lowed by formal exercises in Odd Fellows Hall.
These consisted of congratulatory addresses by
Mayor Hayes, Rev. w. J. Tivert. and Judge
John w. Berry.
Commander-in-Chief Adams's appearance
brought out deafening applause, that continued
for several minutes He thanked Post and
the citizens for his hearty reception with tears
in his eyes. In the course of his brief speech
he said
" 1t is a great thing to take up the work of
men like Logan and Evans, to command an
army that has numbered in its ranks Grant
and Sheridan and Sherman, yet, God helping
me with your aid / will be true to my trust
and advance still further the standard of the
Grand Army Stand by me as you have stood
by ne since you took the obligation at your
altar % years ago, and l promise you you will
never be sorry for having conferred this honor
upon me-"

careful perusal of the appended CONSOLE
dated report for the quarter ending June 30
1893, will show an appalling loss in member
ship almost unparalleled in the history of our
Order. While from a constitutional stand
point this is a loss. yet it must not be regarded
as absolute and total, simply because il sundry
Camp and Division officers had only performed
the duty they obligated themselves to do the
sad figures of 10 $50 suspensions would not have
TO De printed at ILLS Time. NeRllgence Is the
prime cause of so many suspensions, and it is
hoped that in the next report large number
of reinstatements will be announced. In this
connection all Division and Camp Commanders
are earnestly urged to put forth every possible
effort to stop the large number of suspensions
Quartermaster-Sergea can and should be
instructed to personally call on all delinquents,
and in a spirit of Friendship, Charity and 10y
atty appeal to each and every brother about to
be suspended, to retain his membership. OF
course it means work-hard work; but that is
precisely what officers selected for. Divis-
ion Commanders should also exercise careful
scrutiny of all applicants. Secure only the
best. Quality is preferable TO quantity; for
with the former you can do much, while with
a large but poor quantity you can do absolutely
nothing.
The commandments at this time desires
to call the attention of the Order to the diver
sity of uniforms worn. The Constitution, Rules
and Regulations explicitly sets forth just what
should be worn. Shoulder knots and straps are
not permitted, and such officers of Divisions
and Camps as wearing them doing so in
violation of the Constitution Rules and Regula-
tions, and are hereby ordered to remove them.

THE CHEROKEE STRIP.
Scenes Attending the Opening of the Free
Land Tract.


Land Tract.
There was a mad rush for land last Saturday
at the Cherokee Strip. People fought like wild
animals to get aboard trains that ran into the
Strip, and hundreds were inj ured, some fatally.
Men forgot their manhood and women their
self-respect in the terrible struggle. Five trains
quickly left Guthrie, Okla, packed with pas
sengers. The run was made to the town site
of Perry in 40 minutes, but there was a wall OF
disappointment went up as it was seen that
two-thirds OF tho best land was taken up by
"soenors." Horsemen were pouring down
over the bluffs to the east at the rate of so a
minute. The people in the first and second
trains managed to get ground of more or less
value. but the 1000 in the other trains got
nothing
The frat legal settlers to arrive at Perry
found that not only was the ground taken up
by the "sesners," but that most of the street,
division and other stakes were pulled up; that
by mistake the land offices had been located
on q square of private lot, instead Of Govern
ment land, and the result was such q confusion
that by night the streets, alleys and all were
bsiEg held BY lot stakers.
The whels afair sssns 10 have been badly
managed, and the people are loud in their de-
nansiatisns of the United States Marshals and
have been allowed.
The scenes at Orlando Heunessey, Enid
Saltwater, and other places, were similar to
those just detailed. At Euid an Indian who
stood upon O hill and viewed the whole race
expressed the situation in the following terse
but apt remarks:
"Whitc men heap fool train no good horse
beat train; man on foot come, sneak, beat
horse, Ugh"

Gen. John c. Fremont Camp, lac, Indianap-

vious it had been gradually but nevertheless
surely losing the prestige of high standing and
at the same time losing its credit. Poor BUSH
ness management, utter lack of discipline, un-
certain attendance of some of the staff and
most of the members have combined with a
result that looks dubious for much longer
life of the Camp. The few remaining men,
bers, realizing that without competent head
TO the organization few could be the months
of such an existence, resolved some weeks ago
to utilize constitutional privilege and declare
the Office of Captain vacant by Art. VII Sec. 4,
