Ell RENO, 1. T., July 10.-Judge
Fitzpatrick, special alloting agent of
the Kiowa-Commanche reservation.
said that Caddo county is full of
"sooners" and that trouble is likely
to occur, Notwithstanding the county
is to be opened by lottery and not by
run. Two troops Of cavalry, n each
fer Fort Reno and Fort Sill, have
been ordered to the posts and are ex-
pected to arrive at their destination
on Wednesday. Lew Hornbeck, OF
Minco Newstral, has a small follow
ing here who declare they intend to
locate now regardless of the presi-
dents proclamation naming certain
days upon which the land is to be
allotted by drawing. Already some Of
Hornbeck's followers have entered
the forbidden country.
Generally speaking, the proclama-
tion is satisfactory, but quite a NUM-
Der of homesteaders express dissatis-
faction over the clause governing the
drawing. They say that endless con-
fusion must result in selecting land
after homesteaders have secured the
lucky numbers.

LONDON, July 13.-The heat wave
here is becoming more tropical. Lon
doners were not prepared for it, and
consequently they are suffering great
ly. The officials thermometers at 10
o'clock this morning registered from
50 to 81 in the shade, but the Ordi-
nary thermometers showed several de-
grees higher. There were many sun
strokes, p~rOstrations and Paintings in
the streets, which kept the ambulances
busy. the number of omnibuses run
ming was considerably reduced in
consequence of the exhaustion of the
horses, and the iron works and ship
building yards were seriously handi-
capped on account of the enforced abb
sence of the wOTkmen who were suf-
fering from the heat.

THE LIVE STOCK MARKET.
Latest Quotations from south Omaha

SOUTH OMAHA.

SOUTH OMAHA.
Cattle-There was not a heavy run OF
cattle and a good proportion OF the re-
ceipts were western rangers which re-
duced the supply OF cornfed steers con-
siderably. There were not many beef
steers in the yards and the quality of the
offerings on the whole was rather COM
mon as compared with what has been
coming In Of late. Packers did not seem
particularly anxiou= for supplies and as
a result the market was more or less I'M
even. There were not many cornfed
cows and heifers In the yards and the
better grades sold just about steady. Tho
common stuff was OF course neglected
and sellers thought they had to sell them
a little lower. The range season was
opened In good shape by the arrival of
several cars of grass cows from the west
ern part of the state. Packers were. OF
course. rather afraid Of them, as they
cannot tell how they will kill out. One
string sold at $3.50. which looked a lIttls
lower than yesterday. Bulls and stays
sold at about steady prices where the
quality was satisfactory. but slow and
lower where 1t was not. About the same
could be said of veal calves. StockerS
and feeders were no higher and IL was
evident that the demand was limited.
HOGS mere was not n neaNy run OF
hogs. and as the demand on the part OF
local packers was in good shape. AMI
also because advices from other points
were favorable to the selling interests.
the market here ruled oM10c higher and
active. At the start packers were only
bidding $3.50 and $5.921a for the general
run, but they failed to get many at that
price and raised their bids. The bulk II
all the hogs sold at from $3.50 to $.9j.
with the long string at the split. Soma
of the choicer loads sold as high as $500.
Sheep-There were scarcely enough
sheep on sale to make a good test of tho
market. but what did sell brought good.
strong prices. and it was evident from the
way packers acted that thew wanted the
stuff Most Of the arrivals were sold to
arrive at yesterdays prices. Lambs sold
at $500. wethers at 81. ~ and ewes at $40.
There We're a few little punches that sold
on tOday's market and they brought
good. strong prices. The lambs sold at
$500. ewes at 1910 and a bunch of fed
ycarlings sold at $3.50.

Ell RENO, o. T., July 11.-Follow-
ing out the proclamation OF President
Mckinley opening up to settlement
by whites the 1900 farms in the XII
oWa-Comanche country, the first regis
tration Of homeseekers was made here
and at Lawton at 9 o'clock this morn
ing. Hundreds were still lined before
the various registration boards when
darkness came tonight and tomorrow
and next day the registration will
continue until all who come have been
given an opportunity to file their
names. The drawing by lottery will
begin July 20 and until then none Of
the $4,000 applicants will know wheth-
er or not he has been lucky enough
to receive a homestead.
The lottery scheme robbed the open
ing of the picturesque run and the
exciting times incident to the great
opening Of the Cherokee strip ten
years ago. Compared with that event
the affair today was tame in the ex-
IRENE. Although there are perhaps
10000 people in town practically no
disorder prevailed. AS a rule the
homeseekers were we'll provided with
money and provisions and aside from
the long wait il the sun before the
registration booths, no serious incon-
venience has been experienced.
Last night hundreds of people slept
in the streets and alleys to maintain
their places in lines which began
forming yesterday at the six regis
tration booths in Ell Reno. Many had
waited on the border of the new coun-
try for two years or more and the
last night of their long vigil was the
most trying they had experienced. The
line was made up of the halt, the
lame and the brawny frontiersman,
sprawled out in the dust. The crowd
before each booth elected a captain
and each man and woman in line was
given a number which they pinned
conspicuously to their clothes. A
company member was permitted oc-
for a short breathing spell and inva-
riably his place was protected by his
fellow watchers.
AS the hour of 9 o'clock neareo in
terlopers tried to push in and break
the numerical order of the line or
ganization. This instantly raised bad
blood and when word was passed
down the line a little later that the
booth officials would not recognize the
line organization, but would register
the first person to present themselves
there were threats of violence and RI
citing seemed likely. Trouble was pre-
vented by the early announcement
that the line organization would be
respected by the government officials.
Cheers and waving of hats greeted
the word and from this time forth no
sign Of trouble was apparent. APP
plicants were admitted to the booths
four at a time and the filing proceed
ed rapidly all day long.
During the day the heat became in
tense, but no serious suffering was
reported. The numerous women in
line were treated CALAMITY by the men,
who shaded them from the sun with
umbrellas and furnished drinks from
the lemonade vendors who piled lneir
ranks.
The second place of registration
named in the proclamation was at
Lawton twenty-five miles overland,
where similar scenes to those enacted
in Ell Reno were witnessed.

CHICAGO, July 13.-Today's advices
to the Board of Trade grain compa-

broken. 1t is said that the damage
outside of Kansas and Missouri is COM

the prospects are for a crop of but

years CROP was 163, 000, 900 and the
year before 237. OOO. 900 bushels. The
loss CT hay and potatoes is also great,
second only to the loss of corn. 1t is
estimated that the farmers of Kansas
and Missouri have already lost $50,OO9.-
600 by the torridity and drouth.

NEW YORK, July 13.-There was a
scene of great excitement in both the
wheat and corn markets at New York
today. the trading aggregaating one
of the largest days totals in a year
or more. especially as to corn.
Prices jumped 2 SD cents during the
day in corn, making 6k cents advance
for the week. Orders poured into the
market so fast that the brokers could
scarcely execute them at the prices de-
sired and the usually. small crowd
to such an extent that at times it al

states.
Wheat also took an extraordinary
jump today and from being in a posi-
ton almost entirely friendless at once
leaped into popularity with the bulls
and gave corn a close race for leader
ship in the advance for the day.
Prices in New York closed 2 and 3
cents higher than yesterday and prac-
tically at the top price. Professionals
were caught in this bulge in wheat
and some of them lost about all the
money they have made by selling long
and for months wheat has been ham
mered persistently by everybody in the
belief that the crop would be a record
one and more than enough to make
up the foreign shortage. The result
has been a huge short interest, part
of which was caught in yesterdays
big advance. The remainder is in a
state of anxiety as to what the out
come will be, realizing that a much
greater upturn must mean the covering
of a big line of wheat. Today bulls
were still further encouraged by re-
ports that wheat in the Red river val
ley was being injured by excessive heat
after recent wet weather.

MONEY COMES BACK TO THEM.
Insurance Companies Sustain Losses, but
Get More Business.

Get More Business.
That all the money is going out and
none coming in is not true of the insur-
ance companies of Richmond. The fires
Of Richmond this year, which Is now so
near it's close. have cost the Insurance
companies thousands of dollarsa but in
the long run they will gain.
And it is coming about in this way:
The fires have had the effect of soaring
the people who heretofore have been
carrying light insurance, and now they
are increasing tho amount of insurance
and paying larger premiums into the cof-
fers Of the insurance companies.
The gain in this way, which is appre-
ciable, would be still larger in most
cities than in Richmond under similar
circumstances. This is because the prop
erty of Richmond is more than usually
we'll protected, to start with.
There is another influence at work in
the city which is OF help to the insurance
companies. In no city in the land are the
banks more careful in their business
transactions than here. They will not
lend money on property unless 1t is fully
insured. This serves to keep up the pro-
lection, and this means money in the
pockets OF insurance men.
The losses by fires in Richmond in the
past eleven months have been very heavy.
and the insurance companies have some
cause for looking towards this city with
just a little dread: but the city has bean
singuIarly free from large and destructive
fires until this year, and In the end the
underwriters do not come In for SO much
sympathy after all. But it is true that
in only one case Of all the fires the In
surancc has been about as large as the
loss, which means that the insurance
companies have had the burden to bear,
And they have borne it well. They have
not stopped to bubble. but have paid their
money like men and business men at that,
with a promptncss vel! calcuateo' to
;nsrire with confidence those who have
dealings with them.
