and his Moorish physiognomy reveals
traces of the negro blood that flows in
his veins united with that of the Arabs.
His flowing black beard has some white
hairs, and his countenance has melan-
choly look, though it evinces extraor-
binary firmness, and there is a certain
lassitude in his movements that is not
ungraceful.
He shows himself in public with fas-
tidious solemnity, one of his servants
holding a large umbrella over his head
to screen him from the sun, while others
are busy tanning him to keep off the too
abundant flies, and all look at him as if
he were god rather than amere earthly
sovereign. His usual attire is vestment
white as snow which covers him from
head to foot, and his turban is covered
with high hood. His feet are bare and
shod with yellow slippers, and his horse
is very large and white, with green reins
and golden stirrups.
Because of the intolerance of his peo-
pie the function of religious chief is the
most important that belongs to the sui
tan, and he observes with rigorous ex-
actness all the requirements of the Mos
lem liturgy, rising at 3 o'clock in the
morning the year round to make the
first prayers and compelling all his
courtiers to do likewise.
He gives early morning audiences be-
tween and o'clock, and it Is then that
he receives foreign ministers and others
who are privileged to visit him. The
middle of the day is devoted to rest,
business being resumed in the afternoon
between and o'clock and stopping
promptly at the hour for evening prayer.
The sultan, like Solomon, has number
less wives and concubines and MAIN

fayorite is said to be a talented Circas-
sian of wonderful beauty, who aspires
to make her son Abdelazis the successor
to the throne.

TIE CHEROKEE STRIP.
Correspondence of Shenandoah HERALD.
MULLENvILLE. KANSAS.

| NULLENVILLB, hANSAS'
Mr.. EDITOR thinking you would
like to hear something about the Cherokee
Strip and as l was among the number
that made the big run on the 10th day OF
September, will send you a few lines,
descriptive of that event
started by driving an old "critter"
down to Kiowa, a distance Of one one
hundred miles, but as that mode of con-
yeyance did not take me fast enough, l
determined to take the train and travel
by steam.
When they were about ready to make
The run for their homesteads, they were
all lined up on the Kansas line along the
Cherokee Strip. Some were in covered
wagons, some on horseback, some on foot,
some in cars that were crowded inside,
and others, on the top of the cars, sitting
like buzzards, all waiting for - o'clock
and the booming of the gun that was to
open the strip.
When the signal was given, you never
saw such running, and tumbling, and cut
ting and slashing and on the train there
was hallooing and whooping while we
moved on towards Ava, the county seat.
People were jumping of the train all
along the way. Men and women Jumped
from the running train, tumbled head
over heels, two or three timer, showed
their agility b! jumping up and running
to different points where they stuck up
their flags and claimed their homesteads.
When the train reached Alva, the coun-
~ seat, they Jumped out Of the windows,
off the top, of the cars and fell and tum.
bled in every direction. o but they did
run and so did l, for wanted to be one Of
the lucky ones to get a lot 1t was funny
time. All claimed that they had corner
lots. Oae poor fellow sat in the middle Of
street, tightly embracing a post and
claimed that be had corner lot. He
knew no better until Sunday. Another
one thought he had a corner lot, COM
menoed digging a well and on the follow
ing Monday found that he had dug his
well in the Court House yard.
They slept on their lots that night for
fear the Sooners -ould come and take
them, and the next day commenced
booming. They started to build sod
houses, and haul lumber ON Sunday.
When l started back, you could see the
people sitting all around over the prairie
their small f Igs floating to the breeze and
their persons protected by hoisted um-
brellas, while others we're breaking sod
and making fences to prove up their
claims. The coyotes and wolves were
running from place to place, astounded
by the sudden &c scent that bad been
made upon their roaming grounds.
Mr.. Editor, tell you had lots of fun
and saw more than many who went to
the Worlds Fair,

The Street Lights.

The street light system of this town is
worse than farce, it is a nuisance to a
great extent. No matter how dark and
rainy the night may be. if the almanac
says moonlight.the lamps are not lighted,
and people must grope around in CUES
sing sort of way. This is pleasant es-
peclally for strangers, and gives them a
fine impression of the town. During the
recent great revival in the Methodist
church the lights were oftrn extirgushed
before the services closed and tie large
congregations, many of persons from a
distance who were unacQuainted with the
streets, could fud their way as best they
could. We feel certain that none Of our
citizens will object to the little extra ex-
pense of lighting them whenever the
nights are dark enough to need them.
Then, too, the lights should be allowed
to burn until 10 o'clock at least and not
be extinguisbed before the really dark
hours of the night as they now are very
frequently. Our lights are poor enough at
best, bat they are probably the best we
can afford Just now, therefore let as have
all the benefit possible from them.

The rmportance Of AdvertisIng.

The Importance OF Advertising.
In these days of quick business, the
Importance of advertising cannot be
overestimated. The maa or firm that
does not advertise virtually says to the
public that BIO has all the business that
he wants and does not care for your trade,
or that be Is doing so little business that
it does not pay him to solicit more. A
town is judged in a great measure by its
paper. II 1t is full of lively advertise
ments the reader at once concludes that
it is published in live town. Parties
seeking to make investments in any sec
ton first write for copy of the paper
published in that section, If he gets a
paper, apparently printed with apple
butter and containing but one or two
live advertisements, be shuns the place
as be would the small pox.
There is now setting in a tide Of i'm
migration to the Shenandoah VALLEY.
Shall we get our share of It'll We can, if
we want it. If we do not want it, 1t will
not push itself upon us.
The HERALD is prepared to do its part.
We will furnish a bright, newsy paper.
We will use good ink and keep out dead
advertising matter. We will display all
advertisements with the best taste we
have. We will endeavor to increase your
business, but business men must give US
the opportunity to dc our part. a good
advertisement always helps four parties.
II helps the advertiser, 1t helps the pur-
chaser, it helps the paper, and 1t helps the
community and county in which the
paper is published. Gentlemen, please
LET rs help YOU.
