LEAVING THE CHEROKEE STRIP.
Thousands Go Away From a Barre
and Parched Country.
of The Evening Star

Special Correspondence of The Evening Star
TOPEKA, Kan, August g 1894.
The reports from the Cherokee strip coun-
try are exceedingly discouragng and pre-
sent a picture of want and desola ton that
will elicit the sympathy of people every
wehre. The strip of country comprising
the Cherokee outlet Is fifty miles wide and
$50 miles long. With the exception of a
little bottom land skirting the Arkansas
and Canadian rivers, it is almost as barren
as the sandy deserts of Utah Hot winds
which have swept over that country for the
past three weeks, together with the long
protracted drouth, have withered and dried
up every vestige of green, and the 5000
people, who live within the Cherokee strip
boundaries must either leave or suffer the
pangs of hunger.
This is the situation there today. There
is no other Alternative for those who are
still there.
On the 10th of September of last year the
Cherokee strip was opened TO settlement
One hundred thousand people made the
grand rush for homes. On that day blister
ing hot winds from the staked plains of
Texas greeted their incoming. Today the
same destroyer greets the long trains of
covered wagons as they take up their line
of. march for other states where bread can
te secured. 1t is estimated that of the lOO-
600 who went into the strip nearly one
year ago, not more than J0,uU are there
Arkansas, Mississippi, louisiana, Missouri
and other states. Those who have gone
have abandoned their claims to the prairie
dogs and coyotes, the natural Inhabitants
Of that region.
Travelling from Arka nsas City across the
strip to the southwest, one will meet scores
of emigrant wagons filled with men, women
ana children leaving the country. ASK
them where they are going and they can
not tell you. They are fleeing from the
desert. Many are going to southern Mis-
souri, and northern Arkansas, while others
are drifting back to eastern Kansas, where
they have relatives and friends.
Applications by the hundred are being
made to the land ofiice officials for an nd
ditional leave of absence from their home
steads. Under the law the bomesteader
cannot be absent from his claim more than
six months at time. Hundreds are re-
questing an additional three months. 40
they car leave and spend the winter else
where. Then, they say, they will 20 back
In the spring and try II over again. They
still hope that there is an outcome to the
Cherokee strip country, and with a courage
equal to that of the people Of western Kan
sas, who have for years fought against fate.
many will return next spring TO make an
other effort

The Other Section.
After recording the first section. another

of the northeast. Considerable work has
already been done upon this part, and the
solution Of the problems presented is easy
when compared with the first section.
In addition to this general plan. special
ones have been prepared during the past
year for the extension of important ave-
nues. These have included Rhode Island
avenue northeast and Massachusetts, avenue
Nebraska avenues northwest.
The extension of Massachusetts, avenue
from Rock creek to the District line is
projected, which, when completed, will Of

Will then be about nine miles in length and
160 feet wide. Philadelphia has lately de-
cided to give $6,OOO.OOO for a little more
than one mile of such avenue. The extern
sion of this avenue will be of little cost to
the District, 1t is said. as the owners along
the avenue have donated, or promised,
most of the right of way.

DEATH AND CUPID MEET.-Divorced
at 10 o'clock in the morning, married
at noon and widowed at 8 o'clock in
the afternoon were the three events
crowded in Mis-. Mary McQuade's life
on Monday in Scranton, Pa. The
woman was first married in Scranton
in 1889, her maiden name being Beh-
rens, and her home Wilkesharre. Three
wears later her husband deserted her,
and with her child she was forced to
support herself. Where her husband
went has never been ascertained. The
lonely wife came back to Scranton and
found work in dining room. She met
W. H. Thompson, the publisher of the
Industrial Ne,cs and chairman of tie
Lackawauna county populist commit
tee. Rapidly they became warm friends,
and then the chairman began to WOO
the deserted wife. In the meantime
Mrs. McQuade had applied for di-
vorcs, but her application seemed to
lag in the court. at thlS crit
ical juncture Thompson fell Ill,
and his sweetheart endeavored to
nurse him back to health. She prom
ised to marry him as soon as she Sc
cured her divorce. The lover felt his
life rapidly slipping away. Mrs. Nc
Quade on Monday made another ap-
peal for her divorce, and the decree
was granted at 10 CLOCK that morning.
A friend of Thompson, by proxy, Sc
cured the necessary marriage license
and summoned a preacher as speedily
as possible, and at noon Mrs. McQuade
was ready and the sick man was prop
ped up with pillows. The preacher
then pronounced the ceremony that
made the two husband and wife, The
excitement caused by the proceeding
and the yielding of his hope after his
great desire had been fulfilled seemed
to hasten the end, and Thompson sank
rapidly. He was husband three hours
and then he died. Mrs. Thompson was
q widow. She was wife long enough,
however, to become entitled to Thomp-
sons property, which he bequeathed to
her by will.

Terrific Cyclone.

CHARLESTON, Mo-, Sept. S.-Two
persons were killed and score injured,
one of them fatally, in a cyclone here
yesterday, during which a train was
blown from the track 1t was about 3
o. m. when the express on the Cairo
branch of the iron Mountain road was
struck by the hurricane and the result
was one OF the most serious wrecks
ever known on the system. The train
had Jus. reached the limits of the city,
when passengers and crew noticed the
approach of funnel-shaped cloud that
was dealing destruction to everything
in its path. The train and the cyclone
met and the wind lifted the entire line
of coaches and landed them at least
a distance of twenty feet from
the track, almost turning them
completely over. Those who were not
hurt seriously fastened to free them
selves and rescue those who were not
so fortunate. Fire broke out in the
rear of the tain and only for the he
roic action of brakeman, an even
worse catastrophe might have been re-.
corded. Near by was negro cabin
which was converted into hospital
where attention was shown the wound
ed by the citizens and the railroad men.
Aside from the train and its passengers
the damage done by the cyclone, which
seems to have been purely local, was
slight. Its path was not over thirty
Yards wide and did not extend more
than mile.
