TRAVELLING STRIPwARD.

Yesterday not less than twenty immI-
grant outfits passed through the city
bound for the Cherokee strip, The news
that the bill opening the outlet TO settle
ment had passed the house has reached
nearly every nook and corner of Kansas,
and the immigration is very noticeable
already OF course it will Increase every
day from now on and by the first of next
week every road leading towards
the border will be thick with
prairie schooners. II it should
come to pass that the senate would fail TO
concur in the house bill there will be an
immense amount of disappointment on
the border and there is hardly any doubt
but what e general raid would follow
Those who sre going towards the strip are
men who are practically homeless in Kan
sas aud they are just the kind of fellows
who would not shrink from a proposition
to make a raid on the strip under a good
leader, in case Of the bill falling in the senate
or any other cause Most of those who
passed through yesterday are from central
Kansas; colony of ten of them being
from Marion county. They are making
about thirty miles day, and expect 10 be
AZ Caldwell by tomorrow night.

and when the initiated ara the imperson-
ators the success Is genuine. There was 4
noticeable deviation from the general rule
ia the first part. That sameness that
marks the overtuIes Of all minstrel per-
formADces are dispensed with.
While the eud mao aud interlocutor
were there, with the latest and most enter
tanning gags anc jokes, their dispensing
with the time-worn simi-circle first part
Is certainly pleasing innovation.
The singing OF The sweet singers Is
perfect, and apart from the wonderful
workings of the inimitabls Billy Kersdnds
is the main feattrs OF the show. The
troupe has IN its ranks such well known
names IS the ChsaJham Bros, James
Crosby, Billy Reynolds. the great Gauze
and others whose artistic work has been
witnessed here on former occasions
II can be safely predicted thai the seat

be fully tested during the engagement Of

OLD TIME ARGUMENT.
How Judge Enforced His Order Forty
SIX Years Ago

THAT little episode in the district court
today" remarked an elderly gentleman al
the Carey hotel last night, reminds me OF
a similar occurrence in an Illinois court
/ forty odd-let me see--yes, forty-siX years
! ago"
Peace to the memory of the good judge
| who was the principal actor in the affair,
! shall not call his name. but be reached
| the top of the judicial ladder and his
| name Is q familiar one throughout the
west

and attorneys usually riding on horse oack

the district. IL the locality | speak of
Lincoln and Douglas were not infrequent
practitioners. together with other attor-
neys who afterwards gained state and na
tional reputation in official life. One at
toruey that was well known all over the
district. aud who had large practice, was
named Reed. Old Bill Reed he was
called By all who knew him. BY the way
he was not one of our judges ancestors
and he was called old before be was so
years of age. Just why l do not know
He was an extraordinarily large man
with much force of character and had
gained much of his reputation by what we
would now call bulldozing. but Was then
termed browbeatirg
In those days property and reputation
were dearsr to all than they are today and
every law suit, no matter how trivial, was
tried for all il was worth. One day a case
was on trial before the judge l speak of
and Bill Reed was 90 one side of the case.
He found the evidence WAS against him
and, with his usual tactics, started in to
make up in argument what was wanting
in the proof and numerically
abused one of his opponents
witnesses. The judge had called him
down several times, and finally said;
"'Mr Reed, you must stop that kind of
talk
~ am managing this case. your
honor" retorted Reed, and kept on
talking.
"'Apd am mana ging this court, said
the judge, and, turning to the sheriff,
added;
Mr.. Sheriff, adjourn court" which
that officer promptly did.
Then coming down off the bench, he
met Reed, who was Iiyid with rage, as all
the spectators were laughing at his dis
comfture, aud without saying another
word. struck him squsrely between
the eyes and knocked him down. Reed,
however. was physical giant aud not TO
be whipped by one blow, and hard fight
followed. None present dared to Interfere
and the judge got the best Of the fight.
Going back to the bench he reconvened
court. and said:
MIR. Reed. proceed with your argu-
ment;' but that case went TO the jury at
0 nee.
1T was said that some i'll feeling had
sprung up bet ween them The night before,
over game of cards Anyway, in the
games that followed, in which the court
and lawyers usually engaged every
night, Reed never took hand and shortly
afterward left that part of the state

lowed FOR each, thew never spoke; but how

MORE HOG THIEVES.

At the prevailing prices man does not
have TO steal a very big hog to enable him
eat salt pork at Lansing. There are some
men in this city, however, who evidently
do not slider the matter of price just SO
they get the pork and do not seem to care
where they eat it. Hog stealing is becoIn-
ing quite common and i5 was only few
days ago that one was stolen on the West
Side and butchered right at the pen
it was taken from, but the
real Industrious thieves were heard OF
Tuesday night. Taking wagon they
drove TO George Busen bark's farm in Gyp-
sum township, eight miles from the city.
As was discovered by the tracks they
made. they left their wagon short dis
lance from the pen from which they drove
a good fat porker Reaching the wagon
the hog was loaded into 1t and hauled 10
the city. The wagon WAS tracked TO Doug
las avenue and there all trace of it was
lost Inquiry was made at the stock yards
and all the butcher shops in the city yes
terday, but no hog answering the descrip-
ton of the one stolen could be found. L.
had evidently been stolen and butchered
for private Use only.

Not Puget Sound Mist.

One sultry afternoon, so the story
goes as told by his friends, Mr..
Johnston, manager of the Dogfsh Bay
stone quarry was seeing the big fair,
in company with two other gentlemen
from Seattle, when the three were
startled by sudden fall of those large.
climates so often Immediately pre-
lost in getting to the nearest shelter,
which happened to be species of tree
fern with heavy dropping foliage, that
stood at one side of the path, and
which they reached just as a violent
down-pour began. Their shelter was
barely large enough to cover them and
was only a partial protection from the
torrent that poured dowd from above.
But it was shelter, and they huddled
together and congratulated themselves
upon their good fortune. They were
hailed by park policeman, after 80
minutes, and asked to leave the
grounds, as it was time to close the
park. But they insisted on remaining
where they were until the shower was
over. why" said the policeman, cit
is not raining" ''That may not be
what you call it here,' promptly re
piled Mr.. Johnston, ''but we are from
Puget Sound, and this is rain"
WELL" answered the blue coat, eff
you call this rain, guess it is raining
a good part of Lake Michigan on you
fellows through that hydrant over
there, but it is not raining on anybody
else" And so it proved. The gardiner
had merely been watering the plant
under which they took refuge.
