.And, Then a Bush For the Sissoton
Reservation.
THOUSANDS OF WAITING MEN.
From the IJrnsli and Troin Every Concelv-
wblc jt Itordrrins; on the ICeitcrrntlon
TliJit Could Shelter Anything
Sprang Ilonioseckers.
Ukown's Vauev, Minn., April 10.
The .sharp, clear note of a bugle at noon
yesterday, the almost simultaneous
click of a carbine, then a volley from
the whole far reaching line of cavalry
as the signal was taken up and carried
in a reverberating report to thousands
of waiting men, a few more halting
shots becoming fainter as the distance
increased :uid the Sisseton reservation
was at last open.
The military withdrew from the bor
der and rejoined their companies. From
the brush all along the shore of the
Minnesota river, from ravines hitherto
held to be unpopuluted, from every con
ceivable spot bordering on the reserva
tion that could shelter a man, horse or
wagon there sprang hordes of home
beekers. There were numerous altercations be
tween rival claimants, but no blood has
been shed so far as is known, and it is
lwlicved the deputy sheriffs and militia
will le able to preserve order. In that
ItKsility many of the squatters began
the erection of houses at once A large
number had houses already constructed
on wagons, but the ma jority commenced
hettlement by digging excavations for
wells and cellars or by plowing.
At Fargo, about 100 filings were made
in the course of the afternoon. The
first filing was by Rev. Mr. Van Home,
of the Uaptist church. One lady had
filed. She had hired a man to keep her
place in line and was the fifth from the
front. Presiding Elder Cooper, of the
Methodist church, was also one of the
applicants. The applicants are good
natured and have respected the system
of numbering applicants in line, and the
filers all got their applications in yes
terday afternoon.
Vatcrtown was deserted early in the
day by all but the 1,000 men who had
places in the line of filers. A rush was
made earty in the day to crowd out the
head of the line, but it was unsuccess
ful. Three thousand dollars was paid
yesterday morning for the first place in
the line. The party holding it has re
mained at the door of the land office
bincc last Saturday evening.
The 12Gth place sold for f 200. The
opening occurred without a slip and
u ithout disturbance- Shortly before 12
:i rope was stretched beside the line and
a squad of militia and twenty police
men were stationed in a position to
command the entire line. At exactly 12,
Lee Stover, a local attorney, having
purchased first place, was admitted and
filed one declaratorv statement and ten
dered the filing of 110 others, which
were rejected, ilis business was com
pleted in a minuta and a half and No. 2
aiiitted.
'At 1 o'clock 102 filings had been made
and the speed was being constantty ac
celerated, so it is thought the entire
line was through by night. Most of the
attorneys are following Stover's plan
and tendering all of their dcclaratories
himultaneously, but a few tender only
one and are found again in line at the
rear. From first to last there has been
no breach of the peace a fact which
indicates the splendid character of the
new settlers.
There is an as yet unconfirmed report
of the killing of a squatter in Grant
county, but no particulars of this or
any other serious trouble have been yet
received.
Conservative estimates of settlers who
went on the reservation yesterday are
placed at 2,500, while others insist that
3.000 have located.
At 11:55 Capt. Ellis announced to the
crowd of over 500 at Wheaton that he
would fire- the signal in precisely five
minutes by his watch, and advised all
to be careful and not run into each
other.
At precisely 12 he fired the shot and
the rush was on. From the boundary
line to the bluffs, a mile distant, the
land is level as a floor, with gradual
rise toward the west, and it was across
this plane that the pretty race took
place. Of course those on horses soon
left the others in the rear. One party
was thrown out of his buggy at the
Mart, and the team ran away, but a
cavalryman caught the horses and the
occupants were soon following the
crowd.
Hy 1 o'clock nearby every landseeker
that had made the start from Whcaton
was holding a quarter section. It is
claimed that a great gumber of those
on horses that started from that point
broke sod on their claims from fifteen
to twenty minutes from the time the
signal was given. Every person that
wanted a claim got one and there seems
to be plenty of vacant land left.
A Hanging at Tnhlcquah.
Tahi.kquah, I. T., April 10. John
Vaner was hanged here at noon. Last
night he prepared a written confession.
In August, lfciU, he and three other men
were riding along through the woods
on horseback, when he dropped behind
and emptied his revolver at George
Daugherty, one of the company, killing
him almost instantly. Daugherty pos
sessed some damaging evidence against
"Waner.
In accordance with the recommenda
tion of the board of health the governor

gers shall le subject to inspection by
the quarantine oiliccrs at said stations.
Gntin exchanges all over the country

Good Friday. There will be no market
to-day at New YoYk. The F.nglish mar
kets will be at a standstill until next
Tuesday.
NEBRASKA STATE MWS.
Freaks of the Tornado.
During the recent storm that swept
! over portions of the state the freaks of
the wind were as capricious in some
places as fatal in others. The mill of
George Ketzell, in Fillmore county was
blown down and then torn to pieces.
Mr. Harrington, living in the same
neighborhood, bad his barn and house
literally crushed to pieces and blown
away. Joe Noedon had his family, in
cluding eight children, in his house
when the building was crushed and
scattered all over the prairie, but not, a
scratch or bruise was inflicted on any
of the family. Near Edgar the house
and barn of John Marshall was literal
ly scattered to the winds, hardly a
vestige of them remaining. The family
was in the cellar at the time and es
caped injury. The school house across
the road was also demolished and the
heavy stove blown a distance of half
a mile. The house of Martin Ellfritz
was absolutely blown to atoms, but the
family escaped unhurt. Thomas Clark's
house, was torn to pieces and Mrs.
Clark fatally injured. The school house
across the road and the barn are also
missing. The house of George Tucker
was completely demolished. Mrs. Tuck
er received a fractured leg and internal
injuries.

This settles the matter for all time and
Gov. Boyd's official position is now fully
established.
The jury in the case of Nash against
the City of Ord returned a verdict
against the city for $500. At a former
trial the verdict was for 81,700. The
city secured a new trial. A new trial
will be asked for and if refused an ap
peal will be taken.
According to the Gering Courier,
Scotts Bluff county holds out better in
ducements to settlers who have a li
tie money, especially than any regio:
west of the Missouri. It declares tha
land bought this spring for $10 or g!5 a
acre will be in a few years, likely onl
one, worth 550 to $75.
Patrick McG ax an, of Ttork, was a

Lincoln is not to be secured withouya
hotley contested legal battle. Itfis
stated that she has a number of relatbrus

frenzy the other day beat her over the
head 'with a small sledge hammer,
fracturing her skull.

After routine business the (senate on the 8th
proceeded with the district or Columbia bill,
the question being upon Mr. McMillan's amend
ment appropriating !100,0OD for the G. A. R. en

pill and Simpson (Kan.) in favor of It. Mr.
Simpson in the course of his remarks favored ab
solute free trade. He had voted f ora bill, he said,

because the policy of protection made such a
measure necessary. The bill was finally re
ported to the house and a recess until evening
taken. But little was done at the evening ses
sion. The senate was not in session on the 9th....
In the house Mr. Blanchard reported the rivet

committee, and after eulogies upon the late
Representative Ford, of Michigan, the house
adjourned.
After three hours spent in executive session
the senate on tho 1 1 th vacated the office of
executive clerk, filled for ten years by James
K, Young. The house cotton tics and bagging
bill was laid before the senate, and Mr. Stewart
(Nev.) offered a resolution calling on the secre

with the uarchase and coinage of silver. But
littlo otHCT business was transacted. ...The
house passed a bill repealing the joint resolution
which authorized tho secretary or war to lease
a pier at the mouth of the Chicago river, and
after considering District of Columbia business
and passing a rew bills the house adjourned.
After the routine business in the senate on
the 12th the resolution oCered by Mr. Stewart
in relation to the purchase or silver and the
coinage of standard silver dollars, having been
taken up and amended, Mr. Stewart proceeded
to addres the senate on the subject, taking
strong grounds in favor of free silver. The
resolution went over and Mr. Palmer's resolu
tion for the election of senators by the people
was taken up. Mr. Chandler spoke in opposi
tion and Mr. Palmer in fa or or It. After pass
ing several bills the senate adjourned ...In tha
house the senate amendments to the Indian ap
propriation bill were non-concurred in. A bill
passed authorizing the building or abridge
across the Mississippi river at Mollne, 111. Mr.
Allen (Miss.) asked unanimous consent for

her to his home in this city. He died
in California three months ago, leaving
an estate valued at $500,000, largely
real estate in Lincoln. In the mean
time the girl, against the wishes of her
foster parent, married, becoming Mrs.

the very Inventions which have made civiliza

Bteasnro that wn present herewith some re
Starkable reproduced statements, together wiU
ho faces of the men who mado them.
Kidney troubles, resulting far too often te
Bright's disease, are the great evil of modem
life. They frequently come slle&tly and unan
nounced. Their presence far too-eften is no,
realized until their treacherous fangs have bees
fixed upon the vital portion of life. Nothings
can be more deceptive, for their symptoms are
varied in nearly every instance. Thousands ol?
persons have been their victims without realiz
ing or knowing what it is that afflicted them.
Thousands are suffering to-day who do not-
know tho cause.
Tho following outspoken words, however,
show what wonderful things this great remedy
has done:
Mr. C M. Davis, Manchester, Mo.: "Havtac
been troubled with my kidneys for sovcraS
years, a friend recommended mo to nso War
ner's Safe Cure, and I find it all it claims tohev
X was entirely cured by its use."
Mr. J. M. Taylor, Lancaster, Mo.: "Years ag
I became afflicted with kidney disease. I ecs
menccd doctoring with two prominent physi
cians, but could only get temporary relief- X
became very bad and our druggist prevailed oat
mo to try Warner's Safo Cure. I did so, ana
after taking two-thirds of ono botUo was per
manently cured."
Mrs. C. P. Wilson, Carthage, Mo.: "In 18872
was badly afflicted with kidney complaint.
Seven bottles of Warner's Safe Cure restored

me to health. My father in 18SI was badly af
flicted with kidney and lit cr trouble, so that he
was unable to attend to business. Ho spent at
great deal of money, but got no relief. Two
Dottles of Warner's Safe Curo cured him."
Mrs. Low Wald, Benton City, Ma: "Atoe-aS,
three years ago I commenced taking the Safe
Cure for kidney troublo and other difflndtiesw.
It did me moro good than the medicine pre
scribed by my doctor. I continued its use, axtC
am in better health; weigh more than
fore."
Miss Emmette W. Settle, HigginsvlDe,
"For some time I was afflicted with pain in
kidneys, which continued to grow worse. My
father, a practicing physician, treated zsefaV
kidney disease, but I continued to grow worse,
I was finally treated by several specialists, wh
all pronounced my troublo kidney disease. I-
was recommended to try H. u. Warner's i
Cure, which I did, and found relief."
The discovery made by Mr. H. H. Wa
has been acknowledged throughout both ;
ispheres to be the only discovery for this gresS. t
modem evil now known to the world, like aS
great discoveries, it has had its enemies i
met with opposition, but its marvelous ;
larity with tho public has been phenomenal seV
its complete acknowledgment by sc4es-Metf
and the professions has been deserved. 1
stands, as it deserves to stand, upon a ptaaecsT '
its own, pre-eminent among all prominent Cfs--coverles
for the relief of humanity and th stf
siotion of happiness.
