Miss Sisson, of Wetmore, Gives
Interesting Experience
Of Her Trip to the Rosebud
Agency to Register.
A SHORT TIME In LINE
Went to YanktOn Where Accom-
modations Were Good.
Not So Crowded as the Land
Offices at BOnesteel.
A SHORT TIME In LINE

Atchison, July 9.-Miss Mary Sisson
of Wetmore. was at the Atchison union
depot on her way home from Yank-
ton, S. D.. where she registered for
the drawing of land in the Rosebud
Indian agency.
Miss .Sisson left Atchison Monday
noon, remained over Monday night at
Omaha, and reached Yankton Tuesday
evening. Going to a hotel, she Sc
cured an application blank, which she
filled out. and had the same acknowl-
edged before a notary public. On
Wednesday morning she registered,
and was not required to stand in line
more than a few minutes.
The government has provided for
the comfort and convenience of appli-
cants by numerous registration places
and booths, and the hardShipS of the
oklahoma openings are obviated. The
only expense was 2 5 cents; this paid
the notary public. If Miss Sisson is
one of the successful applicants she
will be notified. She can then re-
turn and select a quarter section, or
sell her REIMBURSEMENT as she sees
fit. Should she decide to prove up
the filing fee is $14, and there is a
charge of 81 per acre. In addition,
she will be annually required to pay
the government IS cents an acre for
four years, which will make the land
cost little in excess of 5 4 an acre.
The chances of drawing a quarter sec
ton will be about one in two or three
hundred, SO Miss SiSson is not very
confident of success.
She found good hotel accommoda-
tions at Yankton at 50 day. Yankton
is rs miles from the Rosebud reser-
walton; Bonesteel is on the edge of
it, and more are registering there, al
though it presents no advantage, ex-
cepting that it gives one a glance of
the coveted lands. Bonesteel is a
small town. and has not the accom-
modations to be found at Yankton.
Twenty-Five ladies were at the Yank-
ton hotel where Miss Sisson stopped,
all there for the purpose of register
ing.
Miss Olive Green, of Whiting, was
in Atchison last evening, on her way
to Yankton to register. She is very
plucky, and is making the trip alone.
Miss Sisson went with friends from
st. Joe and Kansas City.

rattles for his lady love.
Along the main street of the village
the snakes are so numerous after a
big blast up the hill that all the store
keepers close up shop and go out for
a snake killing bee. All the church
goers carried clubs Sunday morning.
They piled them up like cordwood in
the lobby, and each carefully took his
stick when he started for home.
Some of the old residents know
charms that they say are sure protec-
ton against snakes, and they are try
ing them now. The ministers look
upon the invasion with fear. because
some of the young and middle aged
men are making themselves immune
against the effects of bites by taking
liberal doses of 'rattlesnake cure"
every time they leave their houses.
The men say a, snake can't bite If you
have got enough rum in you. The
minister says it is just as good IL you
hold your breath when the snake is
about to bite, but the men prefer the
other way.-New York World.

PRIZE FIGHTERS BALL.
Social Activities of Philadelphia Given
an Important Impetus

Dofing the scanty habiliments OF
the SQUARE circle and donning the
more conventional ones of civiliza'
ton, the prize fighters of Philadel
phia held a ball last night on the fool
of the National Athletic club, Elev'
enth and Fitzwater streets, where vic
tory or defeat has been melted out tc
nearly all of them --.-.s,s. s.s...
Rules of etiquette were strictly OBJ
served. No ladies or gents" were al
lowed on the floor until they hac
checked their hats and wraps, an6
gents with pipes were relegated to
the Railways. After lengthy dis
cussion the committee of arrange
ments decided that it would be impo-
lite to prevent the ladies from chew
ing gum during the dances. Colored
fighters were barred.
There was little trouble over the
rule regulating the wearing of head
gear, but peanuts Gill was on the
floor, and no man with a covered head
got past him. Even 'Spuds" Mccain,
the bantam weight, who had procured
high hat especially for the occasion,
and wanted the ladies to have a chance
to admire it, was forced to leave his
tile outside.
peanuts Gill was easily the best
dressed man at the ball He wore
black silk hat, a starched white jack
ct. a big red and black puff tie, a
long white apron, checked trousers,
and russell ties.
At midnight a man in a dress suit
appeared on the floor and was loudly
applauded by the ladies. "Suds' Nc
Ginnis made remarks rejecting on the
fit of the garments, but "Suds" may
have been prejudiced. He, too, had
hired a dress suit and brought it to
the ball with him, but when he tried
to put it on he found himself unable
to get into it.
Several of the participants made up
for their lack of dress suits by appear
ing at the ball with black eyes re-
ceived in recent contests. The wear
ers of these badges of courage had
the call with the ladies.
Frisco jack Hanlon led the
grand march and among the famous
fighters in line were Joe Grim, Jack
O'Neill. kid" Beebe. Morris Cold
berg, Ed" Lennie, and Roxy Kan
nell.
Joe Grim, the pride of Little Italy,
has a record of never having taken
the count, but at 8 o'clock this morn
ing, after having danced with all the
bellies of the colony. he sank exhausted
upon a settee.
Sacramento he gasped, "At a
ladies, dey are too much a for me-.
The affair was a complete success.
Floor Manager Jack Hays summed it
up between dances.
Now. I'll give you the straight
goods, pal he said. 1T was a rafting
mix-up from the tap of the gong, and
there wasn't a smell of a fake any
where. All the sports is satisfied the
mill was on the dead level. There
hasn't been a fly on the whole af-
fair, and you take that from me as
the real goods'-Philadelph Press.

A PLAGUE OF SNAKES.
Thousands of Deadly Reptiles Descend
Upon Village.

Rutherford Stuyvesant is building a

SCARCITY OF WHEAT.
Will Soon Close the FIGURING Mills
at AtchisOn.

Atchison, Kan, July 9.-The three
Atchison Touring mills have almost
exhausted their supply of last years
wheat and there is no more of this
years supply to be found. 1t looks
as if the mills will have to shut down
in a short time.
w. A. Blair of the Blair Milling COM
pany, says every Touring mill in Kan
sas will have to shut down in ten
days if some unusually fortunate cir
cumstances do not develop. The Blair
and Lukens mills are running half
time, and the Cain mill has several
times lately had to actually stop the
wheels because of a lack of wheat.
All of last years wheat has been
exhausted in the Central Branch coun-
try, and in Northern Kansas and Ne
braska, and the Atchison mills must
wait for this years crop. The price
of last years wheat on change has
gone up to $1.02, because of the scare
ity of it and the inability to get this
seasons crop on the market. The
AtchiSon millers expected to begin get
ting wheat from Oklahoma July 1
but adviceS from there are that while
the wheat has been cut, it is soaked
wet in the shock with no prospects
for threshing it soon. Douglass Cain
says the wet weather is going to Sc
riously affect the quality of the wheat;
he does not look for much No. 2
wheat from this section of the country.

The Jail at Whiting is an old box
building, that is seldom used. On
July 4th. however a young man i'm
bibed too freely of some tonic that
not only toned him up, but made him
unduly fractions and the city marshal
was compelled to gather him in and
place him in this little used Jail. Just
after they left him the most horrible
cries of pain and shouts for help were
heard issuing from the wooden box.

time later it was discovered that

for disturbance of their peace, as
we'll as drunkenness. The treatment
sobered him and the police judge
deemed further penance unnecessary
