When the firut train arrived at Guthrie
from Arkansas City the emhryo streets
and lot of the new city hnd already len
luid out hy enterprising men, citizens who
had lieeu eurly on the scene. Hardly had
the carts slowed down at the station whn
eag-r men leajed from the car window,
slipped from the roof of coaches and
poured out of the doors in si reams. One
fat man was in such haste that he stood
on his head and turned a somersault on
the soft earth. When he got upon his
feet he rushed up the alopo to the land
cllice like a crazy Texas steer. In a min
ute the slope leading up from the station
was Muck with men rushing headlong
eager for coveted town lots. In two min
utes not one of tho men who hail tilled the
tru n was left in speaking distance of th
railway.
IJy the time this crowd had reached th
top or tho slope near the lund-ollice men,
h had been running parallel lines for
streets and driving in stakes for town lots,
were well on their way along tho level
htiip of laud east of the iand-onice. The
crowd then caught tho moving line of
street nud lots and rushed eastward at a
tremendous rate.
The men who brought along a muslin
Figu bearing the words "IlnnkofGuthrie,"
weie compelled to take up a lot one mile
back of the station.
The next train ni riving from Arkansas
City brought 1,MM home seekers aliout teu
minutes later.
The men in this train rioured nctos the
prairie like an aimv charging '"' wing of
the enemy. They spread out north and
south with axs. spades nnd stakes and
b-gnii with wonderful energy tho location
of town lots and streets.
The thiid. fourth, tifth and sixth trains
from Arkansas City swelled the numtier
to us mail' thousands.
13 this time tho lot seekers had reached
the eastern horizon In urea Guthrie is as
big as Aikitusas City.
When th' seventh and eight trains came
in. Into in the afterniMfii, the crowd had
ovei flowed 'nil Inlands. On tho east the
streets and town lots had lieen extended
fiiily two miles, on the north a mile and a
huh and on the south neatly a mile. No
ntl-init had Ihm-ii made to luy out a town
(mtlmuisi side or the track, although n
slope of green praine was unmolested.
'1 hi. west land h.id been all tiled on for
In mesteails, witli the xcptinn of n
uondcrlully beatitilul piece of gieen
sward just south of the Cimarron river
nud west of the lailroad track. It was
t lie tine-t stretch of ground in the nelgh
boi hood.
Men were not alone in their search for
lots. A few lalies came down on trains
pl"paiod to go to liotlseUeepmg with tolltn
nud cooking out Ills. One lady lost her
lent soinewheie on the oars. She spent
the atternooii looking for friends with
whom to spend the niuht. Another lady
u ho lost her hu-b.-iiid in the crowd when
the first nish was made hunted nil over the
town site in n state of speechless agita
tion Almost with the first rush of the hnrne-n-ekers
fioni the cars the hoiue-eekers
who hnd started across the Oklahoma
lioit.'i line at noon in wagons and on
horseback. Iiegnn to pour into the new
city. Their h.uses were reeking wet from
the hot and fmiuus drive. They took
possession of such town lots in the future
Oklahoma metropolis ns they could lay
cla'uji to. Meanwhile the Inud-oftice was
besieged by nil eager nnd determined
nowdof men waiting to tile claims upon
1k mestcads.
As the afternoon wore on, this crowd
grew larger, until nt closing time it
reached ti regular jam far down the line
toward tliH r.-ttlioad station.
Itu-iucst tn the laiid-ofllco went rather
slowly. Tho register nnd ttie receiver did
th- l-est that they could, but the pressure
upon them was tremendous. The men
who were waiting to tile claims were
forced into line two abreast. They car
ried blankets and baskets of provisions
with them. Friends hrought them water
to drink from the engine tank at the rail
way track in the roar of the laud-office.
Dealers in real estate began business before
two o'clock in the afternoon. One enter
prising dealer had as a background for
the safe transaction '' business n stock of
ritles which had lieen placed tin ro by tho
Government troops en duty nt the land
titlice. Near by was the tent of United
States Marshal Needles. The tent was
surmounted by a large American flag set
on a young tree flagstaff.
The land-oflice occupies the most con
spicuous place in the entire town site. It
is located at the top of the slope that leads
eastwutd from the rsilroad. It can lie
seen for several miles In all directions. It
is not yot finished, but It is doing some
thing more than a lund-oflioe business.
The IJusli From the South.
Pi'KCKt.u L T.. April SM A bright morn
ing showed Oklahoma in all her glory as
the boomers made their way down to the
river bank nud the depot. The hills and
meadows showed fair and green to the
thousands of eager pilgrims. From far
away to the southward the wagon trains
came winding along the roads and across
the country. Many hnd moved thelrcanips
during she night and were already at the
ri"er side. Others hnd crossed the river,
but over there the mantle of charity is
throw n and no one of all the waiting men
on this side of the river has everseen any
body crossing no matter how plainly they
were to lie seen. They are glad to fee the
invaders return, but will say nothing
nlout them hereafter. But there were
many more in the dark hollows on the
other side who shivered in concealment
half the day and made their appearance
at noon. These were sjo:ted and will be
bitterly contested in the future.
The cause of so many returning just as
Jthe tide bad set in lully towards the

force by the uulitaiy Sunday night. The
Fouthero part of Oklahoma was flooded
with sol tiers Sunday, and toward
evetrug they moved out Jn all directions
toward the border. They reached the
South Canadian shortly before midnight,
and i he boomers flying before them
reached the opposite bank in wild con
fusion abaut the same time. The soldiers
ds 1 not take time to overhaul anybody,
ant the fl-et-footed trespassers did Hot
frive them much of a chance to do so.
Tiicy started up on every haad as sooa
as they beard of the . approach of
be military, and mato their wraj ia
wild flight southward, keeping hat little
start they had until they had reached the
oppodte side of the river. Hut. here, also,
they were shortly followed aad ordered
back from the bank and a guard was
placed to patrol the line. Up and down
tbe river through the dark hours of the
night the stuidy sentinels kept moving,
nnd the crowds iu th groves which
fringed the river valley grew larger and
the camp fire multiplied a tho night
wore on. So on till noon they kspt com
ing. About eleven o'clock a lino of borseinea
formed down cloie to the water's edge
and the wagons clustered around tea
fords. The rich and the poor, the young
and the old Isomer, tenderfebt mounted
on horses, great and small, were all in
line. Gruy-bearded men whose hopes
glowed nnd faded as often as tlis changing
seasons hnd swept pitiful gusts of north
and south wind over the laud whore they
had long hoped to make their homws, were
in line. Many of them had spent all their
earthly possessions and the bent years of
tlieir lives in the endeavor to possess the
homesteads for which they were now to
ride a long race. Some of the beat
horse in the country had been imported
by the new conieis to ride for these very
claims. They made a fine show on the
dress parade, of a dash down the street
or a prance to the river's bank. But the
hardy Indian p-jiiies ridden by the grlzziod,
old-time toomers made belter time through
the swift and muddy current and suiftiug
quicksands nnd then over the hills by un
certain paths to the places where the cor
ner stones used to be. The river was
lower than usual, instead of being ou the
rampage, as had ben anticipate'!.
In the railroad yards all was butle and
confusion for twenty -four hour before
hand. Long rows of box car were stand
ing on the sidetracks, where they have
leen accumulating for weeks. The rail
road meu have had their bands full for
two weeks past on account of the rush of
the cattle business. The stock trains have
lieen keeping the track warm day and
night ever since the movement tiortb be
gan, nud crews have leou running for
days and nights nt a timo. They already
hud ab'iut all they could attend to. and
the train dispatchers were sorely puzzled
to keep sight of the tinck hi fore the order
CHiiie to pteparo for putting through
tho "boomer" express ou special time.
The anxious yardmaster and the sleupy
engineers were glad that the day of con
fusion had come at last, nud their one
hope was that it would pnss without a
wrock. Scheme after .scheme was tried to
induce raili oa 1 men to make use of thwir
opportunities to take ditTereiit parties into
the country ahead of time. Some wanted
to hire box cars Otlurs wanted to be
secreted in other way Hon freight tr.iins
which were goiugin before twelve o'clDck,
and score i wanted to ride iu ou the en
gines Hot the train men only lnugbed
and the cchemers went uway unhappy.
The train of .twenty-four coaches moved
slowly out at 11:11) with all the neople ou
the house top waving an adieu. As it
approached the bridge stealthily a courier
galloped up the opposite side of the river
and the pickets were withdrawn. The
train crept over at last. The scene on the
other side can only h left to the imagina
tion. The bojiners' cavalry carriwl every
thing before it. They rode far uhead of
the train ami wero soon nil over tb
country. They reached Oklahoma station
before one o'clock. The train leached there
by two o'clock. The quickost run was
mnde by T. F. Howard, a distance of
twelve miles iu forty minutes. He hud
the racehoiso imported for the occasion
and left the lest tar luliind. The tender
fwetdiove their puckhorses hard nt the
stmt nud left the others behind. The old
boomers kept their wind till th finish and
ended the race in fine style. What the
horsemen did not get in Oklahoma was
captured by men who wereou the ground
or very near it at noon. Accoiding to
the geuerul account they cam from
every direction at twelve o'clock,
and a few minutes nfterwards were hold
ing down claims for miles iu the interim
or the count i v. The railroad excursion
ists had to content themselves with town
lots. Several thousands of them have
been taken at Oklahoma City. Two fac
tions ure nlieudy wrangling over the lo
cation of Oklahoma City propirnud Guth
iie. Oklahoma City covers parts of 11 vo
quarter sections ns laid out at present
Guthrit extends into ten square miles and
makes a good town site. 'Ihere is no lum
ber ut either place nnd edibles were so
scarce that u great many went hungry.
The trouble has hardly bgun. Many
men found one more compiniuii on their
favorite quarter section. Half the land
iu tho valley will lie contested. The facts
will ! moiistrate that Oklahoma was full
of people when the army officers declared
nobody wns there except u few who were
entitled to remain, on account of runners
between deputv mnisbals and lailroud of
ficials. The best of every thing was taken
hefoie the outsiders got a share, aud tho
probability is that every thing will be

KiiiglUlier seems to have been the most

crowd there was not lis large as at other
places. Comparatively few tilings have

A TROUBLOUS QUARTER.
What May Happen When th lloomrri
Stop Over.
Wasiunoton, April 23 The most seri
ous trouble which General McCook, who
is now here from Fort Leavenworth, fears
iu connection with Oklahoma is one that
has not been considered by the news
papers, that may arise on the western
border. There, he says, the boundary line
is wholly imagluarv. so far as any mvtes
and bounds of the'united States Govern
ment are concerned, no corner stone hav
ing been set or boundary line established
by the Government. The Arapahoes and
Cheyennes on Hie western border, how
ever, know- the bounds of their reserva
tions and have their own private head
stones at the river ciosing. They police
their own frontier and kep Intruders off
their reservation. It will protiably happen
that some settlers will try to cross that
border and that they will suppose that
they ate in tbe Oklahoma country, when
they will lie in the reservation of the
Indians. The latter will warn them off,
and the settlers, claiming that they are in
Oklahoma, will resist. The Indians will
maintain their rights and will put the
settlers off. aud trouble may follow. This,
he thinks, is jvorhap the ruot serious part
of tbe Oklahoma question.

THE USEFUL LEMON.
A Fralt That May Tissthrally Be Called the
Houkffsf rrlead.
Keep lemons in tbe houssj when pos
sible. :i they tiro sure to be in demand
j for more purposes than one. and are
very healthful. It is claimed where a
larg-e quantity of lemons la purchased,
and there is a fear of their not keep
ing till wanted for ue. that if they
are placed in a jnr. covered with clear
water, and the water changed each
day, they will keep as lun'ra.tdeeired.
and are a fresh when removed from
the jar a when fint purch:ued.
There are few things as efficacious
for breaking up a cold as hot lemon
ade, taken jut before bedtime. It
is best, to render this more effective,
to bathe the feet of the patient in hot
water and mustard jut before retiring-,
then give hot lemonade Ut drink;
put the patient to bed almost immedi
ately thereafter to remain well cov
ered until morninjj, when, unless there
la something more serious than a cold,
the latter will have almost wholly dis
appeared. To make good lemonade, take a gob
let of hot water, and into it iquozo
the juice of one ruellum-nizod lemon
and 6wce)ten to tn-sle. Thin makes a
very strong lemonade, and may not Ihj
fancied by some, but it Is one of this
kind that will do the most good when
used as medicine.
For a cough, rousted or baked lemon
is good. Put a good-sized lemon in
the oven, and let remain until baked,
which will bo when the whole is very
toft; then take out and add a quantity
of sugar to tnaka it a thick nyrup.
Take a teaspoonful of ftiis frequently,
keeping it wartn, aud unless in a very
obstinate case, it will effect a cure in
a hhort time.
The juice of a lemon taken in the
morning while fasting is often a pre
ventive of those uttacks to which bil
ious people are so frequently subject
ed. Lemon juice rubbed over the
hands each night before retiring will
keep them soft and white. It is good
for removing tan and is a wonderful
whitenerof th skin. It is al.o excel
lent for taking out stains from the
hands. Women who are careful of
their complex ions, and ure fond of vin
egar on certain foods, would do well to
use a few drops of lemon jtiicu when
any sieid is desired, aa vinegar ha a
bad effect on the skin.
A piece of lemon bound on a corn,
changing for a fresh piece each day
for three 'days, is said to o loosen the
corn that it may Ihj easily removed.
Don't throw away bits of lemon from
which the juice ha- been extracted
for they are good to keep for cletitislng
purposes. When the juice is not con
venient they are good to rub on the
hum! to remove any Ink stain and
other discoloration. A piece of lemon
dipped in salt and rubbed briskly over
a copper kettle will give it a good jmiI
ish. Never eat. c allow to lie eaten,
bits of Lemon left standing for any
length of time, more especially
where they have so remained in a sick
room.
Don't throw away lemon pool, but
dry it in tho oven and keep for flavor
ing. A bit of this dried peel cooked
in apple sauce or tut iu apple pie
gives a delicious flavor that nothing
else imparts. Boston ItudgcL

If you are suffering aa drscrtted. and have
been for any length of time, you are. unless
yon got relief right speedily, stricken with

fioctors publicly admit that they can not
cure advanced kidney disease, they are too
bigoted to use Warner's Safe Cure becitua
It Is an advertised remedy, consequently,
