Sicily is beginning, and II threatens 10

A large portion Of the Italian nation
sympathize with the supposed inten-
ton Of the government to dissolve many
of the municipalities, replacing them
with military control. Hitherto Palermo
has seemed Indifferent or hostile to tho

a centre Of the Malta. The munlclpai-
tiles are now neglected, tho duties ara

the direct taxes are small. Sicily pays
Octroi taxes treble those or Lompardy
or the Ventian territory. where the popu-
tation is about equal. Thus the Siciiian
municipal authorities place the bulk OF

Gladstone Publicly Insulted.

Intense indignation is felt among
almost every class of English citizens
over an attack recently made upon
the venerable British Statesman, Mr..
Gladstone, by the Rev, Frearek
Davies. The aged and honOred Pre-
mier, it appears, attended divine ser
vice, on Sunday, at the Episcopal
church at Blairgowie and the sacred
edifice in honor of the premiers visit
was packed with people anxious to
see the graat liberal leader. On pre-
vious Sundays it would seem The
church mentioned has not been crowd
ed with worshipperS. The Rev Fred
rick Davies, who was to preach the
sermon, publicly insulted Mr.. Glad
stone by refusing to shake hands with
the venerable Statesman before the
service. In addition during the SER
mon the clergyman vehemently con-
demod the people present, for as he
claimed, coming to church for an m-
worthy motive to worship creature
rather than the Creator, The remarks
Of Rev Friedrich Davies caused much
indignation among the majority OF
thOse present.

CHEROKEE BOOMERS.
They are Rolling in by the Hundreds
at Arkansas City.

ARKANSAS CITY, KAN September
11.-Nine clerks from Washington to-
day began registering the 10000
home-seekers who are in this vicinity.
During the first hour less than 100
certificates were issued but as the
clerks became more familiar with
their duties they worked more rapid
ly. The record for the day was $50.
At this rate it is impossible for all to
register before Saturday, when the
Strip will be opened, unless the force
of clerks Is increased. Owing to the
dust that fills the air and the lack Of
water those in the Strip suffer Wa
ter sells at 10 cents cup full and %
cents for a canteen. The Interior De-
partment Is bitterly condemned for
locating booths on the Strip, away
from the water and shelter, John
Cameron, a Kansas City real estate
man who had been waiting since 8
O'Clock Saturday, received the first
certificate. Then a lot of women,
who had not stood in line but to
whom the men gallantly gave way,
were registered. Nora Wiley IA
years old, got through the crowd with
two cups of coffee which she gave to
the clerks, saying; 81 am an orphan,
and therefore the head of family, and
] want to register for town LOTT
The man, displeased at first, looked
blankly at her, then cheered The
clerk gave her a certificate, which she
triumphantly waved aloft.
The past two days have seen a
great influx of boomers. Every road
leading here has been filled with an
unJroken procession Of wagons and
every train comes crowded, The

FIRE F1ENDs AT WORK.
Devilish Attempts TO Destroy Prop
erty by Fire.

Devilish Attempts to Destroy Prop
erty by Fire.
Two of the most dastardly attempts
at incendiarism mmaginable have
been made in this city within the
period of twenty-four hours past.
The first of these daring aud dcyIllsh
outrages was attempted at / o'clock
yesterday morning, on the premises
Of Z. j. Hobgood, on State Line ave-
nuo, When discovered the flames
were leaping up the side Of Hob
goods store, in which a beer saloon is
also kept, to a height of several feet.
Water was procured and The fire
quickly extinguished It was then
found that the attempt 90 burn the
building had been Deliberately plan
ned and boldly executed. The fire
bug had set about his nolarious work
in a methodical manner, having filed
small pine box with iniomoblo ma
terial he placed 1t against the side
wall of the house and, and after satu-
rating the Notwithstanding to a
height Of several feet applied the
match. 1t was only by early discoy-
cry and instant action that the house
and contents were saved from
destruction, The second attempt
closely resembled the first differing
only in time, place and amount Of
property involved The same being
directed against the job printing Office
Of Joseph Ehrlich, which lssituate up
stairs over the old postoillco building,
corner of Clinton street and State
Line avenue. The building is owned
by ex-Sheriff John A. Roberts, to
whose efforts is due Che preservation
of not only that ono, but several adj
joining buildings 10 seems Chat Mr..
Roberts, who has very recently began
rooming in the building was awaken
ed shortly before o clock this MORN
ing by the cracking of flames, in the
hallway outside of his bed ROOM On
entering the hail he found that the
fire had been set in one corner, very
much in the same manner as that
used in firing the llobgood building.
Only in this instance the house was
plastcred and the wretch had only
been able, by chipping of the coat Of
plastering, to expose O small surface
Of the wall to the flames Coal oil
had been freely used and the empty
bottle, quart size, was found lying
among the debris Fortunately for
all concerned, a hydrant, situate in the
hall was in easy reach, This Mr., Rob-
erts turned upon the flames, which
by that time were reaching nearly to
the ceiling, and succeeded in eztin-
gushing the blaze. There is as yet
no positive clue to tho porpetrator or
perpetrators Of these dastordly deeds.
But it is to be earnestly hoped that
he, or they, may be caught and dealt
with in manner fitting to the crime.
