The Pearl of Normandy.

The Pearl of Normandy.
The sun is shining brightly on castle by
the sea,
While the wind it's silken banners are
tossing, wild and free.
Far out upon the ocean, like sea gulls
on the wing
Two stately ships are fastening. the
white sails fiuttering.
The lady of the castle, her babe upon her
knee,
Hath spied the swift-winged rovers. the
Pearl of Normandy.
And quick unto her seneschal the lady
gave command.
To mark the gallant vessels. now speeding
toward the land
And bring me word, brave Rupert who
may the strangers be.
Who cometh thus in haste to greet the
Pearl Of Normandy
The ships have safely anchored. a boat
has touched the shore,
And the noble Lord de Montford England's
royal banner bore;
AS with grave and stately courtesy he
craved that it might be
That an audience should be granted by
the Pearl of Normandy.
In all her wond'rous beauty she rose UP
pale and cold
In sooth, who askest such a boon must
be a warrior bold
As exiles from that hated land my babes
and I did fee
And wouldst thou added insult give the
Pearl of Normandy?
Then bowling low, with courtly grace. De
MOntford bent the knee;
II come with messages from the king, oh,
lady fair, to thee"
The babe upon her bosom reached out in
playful glee
To snatch the dainty missive from the
Pearl of Normandy.
The soft eyes gathered brightness, the
color came and went,
Her gaze with tender yearning love upon
her babes is bent.
For thee, my precious nurslngs, a queen
again to be.
He offereth throne and honor to the Pearl
of Normandy.
And when Canute in splendOr to his king
dom by the sea-
Had borne her back in triumph TO share
his royalty,
At court or lowly cottage they looked in
vain to see
A fairer, brighter Jewel than the Pearl

Thousands COMING Bacl.

KANSAS CITY, Mo-, Sept. 17.-There
was big exodus of disappointed people
from the Cherokee strip today. The
Santa Fe brought in three special train
loads this morning and the Rock Island
wo. Ill the regular trains on both
roads were crowded with men and
women who were glad enough to get
back to civilization. A whole party of
people from Illinois who planned to es-
tablish a colony of its own in the strip
came back on the Santa Fe. They were
the most folorn looking party the Of

"Uncle Sam has turned bunco steer

AN oFFIcE-HoLDlNc FAMILY.
Four Brothers Feeding at the Public
Crib in Washington.

TACOMA, Sept. 17.-One of the earli-
est settlers of St. Paul, MINI, was Ed
mund Rice, who, after living there
more than 40 years, died two or three
years ago, full of honor and full of
glory. He served several terms as
mayor OF that city, and during the last
two years Of Cleveland's first ad-
ministration ne was member of the
lower house Of congress from the St.
PaulMinneapolis district He left
surviving him five sons, one of whom is
a lieutenant in the United States army
the other four, all residents in the
state of Washington, have each been
appointed to good office since the 4th
Of March last, as follows:
Edmund Rice, Olympia, democratic
member copital commission, appointed
by Governor John McGraw.
Stuart Rice, Tacoma, receiver of the
Washington National bank of Tacoma,
appointed by Comptroller of the Cur
rency Eckles.
William A. Rice, Everett, receiver of
the Puget Sound National bank of Ev-
erett, appointed by Comptroller of the
Currency Eokles.
Philip Rice, Tacoma, deputy auditor
Pierce county, appointed by County
Auditor Ketner.
The uncle of these gentlemen was
Senator Rice of Minnesota, one of the
two first United States senators from
that state, and the one who drew the
long term for seat of that body The
Rice brothers, as they are commonly
called in this city, are universally re-
spected and esteemed as honorable and
trustworthy men, Stuart Rice having
been once mayor of this city. But the
appointment of four members of one
family to Office in the state within six
months seems in strange contrast with
the large number of individual members
from different families VINO are seeking
office.

Celebrated Chinese Captured.

OLYMPIA, Sept. 17.-Thirteen contra
band Cinnamon were captured neal
this city last night by Chinese IL
spector w. E. Merdith, assisted by the
local officers. They were shipped per
steamer North Pacific to Seattle. 1t is
supposed the number was originally 30.
Suspicion rests strongly on certain
sound steamer as the means of trans
portation of Chinese to the point where
captured, and the suspect is being
narrowly watched.

MONTANA CATTLE.
Some Shipments of stock at Fairly Good
Prices.

Some Shipments of Stock at Fairly Good
Prices.
GREAT FALLS, Sept. 17.-Montana cat
tie are now going forward rapidly and
the prices realized are for the most part
satisfactory, considering the low figures
that are being realized for range pro-
ducts. All the large north Montana
outfits are receiving from $500 to S4. 90
for good steers. The shipments are
larger all along the line of the Great
Northern than were expected early in
the season, partly on account of desire
to realize cash. All in all, the cattle
kings will go into winter quarters feel
ing pretty well.
As much cannot be said for the flock
masters. They have been playing in
hard luck this season. First wool sold
so low that they were not able with the
proceeds to pay current expenses and
square up with the banks. The natural
thing to do was to ship mutton sheep as
soon as possible, and, that, too, when
mutton was bringing almost nothing in
Chicago. At one time not long ago there
were in the vicinity of Fort Benton
something like $4,000 or 100000 sheep
awaiting shipment when there were
thousands more in Chicago "eating their
heads off, !" and sales were being made
at So 90 and less per head. The most Of
the large and old-tlme sheep-owners,
however, viii hang on and hope for bet
ter things despite the threat of free
trade price for wool.
It has been very dry in ali this section
of Montana, but the splendid rain OF
this week has started the streams roll
ling and has supplied the springs. About
two inches Of moisture has fallen. With
business in all its lines improving the
Montana stockman will soon have as
much courage as the best of them.

ARKANSAS CITY, Kan, Sept. 19.-Thou-
sands of people who yesterday made so
great an effort to get into the Cherokee
strip are making equally strenuous
efforts TO get out today. Even as soon
after the rush as yesterday evening
hundreds of people came out from the
strip and took up quarters here. To
days return move became an exodus
and tonight the city was as badly
crowded as it was the night before the

then he threshed on his own farm 1900
bushels in one-half day, 500 bushels be-
ing wheat
One of the reasons for Expecting a
large immigration into this section
of the country is well put by the Helena
Independent "Men seek TO better
their fortunes by removal to new fields
of labor when bad times overtake
them. After the crisis of 1857, and
again after the troubles of 1873, great
westward movements Of population
set in"
David Horne informed the East Ore
gonian that a large proportion of the
cattle of that section would be spippcd
to South Omaha, Neb., this fall. A
stockman residing at Soda Springs,
Utah, has purchased $4,000 head in
Malheur county to ship TO South Omaha
and will load them at Ontario. From
Pendleton and Heppner also, on about
October Is will be shipped 1000 head.
The recent experiment has had the
effect Of turning the attention of buy
ers and sellers toward Omaha as an ad-
vantageous market.
The Arst sawmill in Washington was
built by Or. Marcus Whitman in 1855.
The site was p miles from his mission
rat Wailatpu, and Is miles above the
present city of Walla Walla. The rem
nants of the old dam, overgrown with
trees and brush, are still plainly visible.
At the time of the massacre at the mis-
sion, the sawmill was conducted by
Elan Young Himself and wife and
three grown sons, and another family
named Smith were then residing at the
mill. On the day following the massa-
ere James Young, one of the sons,
started for the mission, ignorant of the
bloody work of the savages on the pre-
ceding night. When passing over the
hill within two miles of the mission he
was murdered by Indians. The re-
mainder of the mill colony escaped.

BOOMERS ARE TIRED
THE PROMISED LAND A FAILURE
Many of the One Hundred Thousand Who
Rushed to the Cherokee Strip sat
urd1y Ave Sick Already.

ARKANSAS CITY, Kan, Sept. 1.-THE
mystery which through so many long
years of anxious waiting has shrouded
the real character of the Cherokee
strip has been swept away, and of the
10000 who rushed in yesterday many
are already returning. 1t was a prom
ised land, but it has not kept the prom
Use. 1t may do so year from now, but
at present the strip is about the most
uninviting quarter on the face Of the
the earth. Water is obtainable only in
a few places. Food is so scarce that a
loaf of bread costs so cents pound,
and smoked ham is worth 81.
The weather is sufocating, and an
other hot, parching wind is blowing.
The drouth of the past month left the
country burned dry and a smoldering
dust, as fine as sand and ashes, fills the
air, and is adding to the thirst and gen
eral discomfort of the unhappy boom
ers. Prairie fires are burning in many
places, and the boomers are out fight
ing on flames.
Today was generally given over to
the effort TO bring order out of chaos.
Farmers families have put up tents
and arranged primitive houses as COM
fortably as possible and begun a search
for water, either in creeks, springs or
in driving wells.
County seats and townsites have be-
come busy communities. Those reached
by railways. are fairly we'll supplied
with provisions, but in those off the
lines of travel the commonest commod-
tiles command fancy prices.
At Willow Springs water sells at 10
cents a glass. Restaurants, shops of
all kinds, drinking places and gambling
houses are established in tents and are
doing thriving business.
At Perry and Wharton today church
services were held, but were very slim
ly attended. The centers of interest
are now transferred to the government
land offices. At Kingfsher today 600
tired boomers lined up in front of the
ofice and will keep their places until
the office opens tomorrow. At Guthrie
no less than 1900 men and women were
in line. At Perry line of men miles
long stretches away from the land
office and at Wharton ZOO people are
in line. At Pond Greek the crowd de-
sirous of doing business with the land
office is enormous.
A dozen dead bodies were found be-
tween Arkansas City and Perry. They
were not all identified and the manner
Of the death of only few has been as
certained. The number who received
broken arms and legs and other injuries
in the rush yesterday is very great and
doctors are kept busy attending to the
wounded

WARRINGTON, D. O., July lo-The
pension bureau has notified aEreat
many pensioners throughout the entire
country who are drawing pensions un.
der the act OF June 27, 1890, known as
the dependent pension act that pay
ment Of their pensions will be suspend
ed for sixty days, during which time
they are required to show cause why
they should continue to draw pensions.
The testimony necessary TO prevent
their being dropped from the rolls is
the certificate Of a reputable physician
attested by two witnesses, to the effect
that the pensioner is precluded from
active labor owing to injuries or disa-
bility, not the result Of his own vicious
habits,
In case no attention is paid to the de-
partment notification within sixty days,
the pensioner will be dropped from the
rolls. On the other hand, should the
necessary certificate, properly drawn
up hllu hIRubu, uS loTWdEuou W bnV pun
sion bureau, the pensioner will be re-
quested to appear before the local board
Of medical examiners for examination
as to his condition.
This act is pursuant to the recent
ruling Of Secretary Smith TO the effect
that q pensioner under the act Of June
27, 1890, drawing u pension for total
disability, must be shown TO be ply si-
cally incapable CT manual labor, The
board OF review appointed to carry into
effect that decision Is now going over
all the cases Of JunG17, 1890, probably
a hundred thousand in number, and
selected those cases which show In the
record that the pensioner may not be
incapacltated for manual labor. In
the cases thus selected the pensioners
are notified, as before stated, to prove
their total disability to the department
or cease to draw pensions. Under Sec
setary Smiths ruling the department
holds that man who can work should
not draw a pension for total disability.
1t 10 estimated at the pension office, al
though the work has but recently been
begun, that something over 1000 sus-
pensions have already been made.
