Visitors are Attracted by Lands Soon to be Opened. BEING ROYALLY ENTERTAINED. A Program of Indian and Cow Boy Sports Has Been Arranged and There Is Something Doing all the Time Town Taxed to Entertain. Doncstool , S. D. , Sept. 12. From a staff correspondent : Four hundred and sixteen thousand acres of choice 1 land , and land which IB this year pro ducing the finest crops In the world , was enough of an attraction to bring over 2,500 persons up to Doncstecl very early this morning from all over Nebraska and to open their eyes with wonderment when they had taken a look. look.The The three Immense excursion trains over the Chicago and Northwestern railway , which left Norfolk last night , drew into the terminal of the line in this direction about an hour apart , a bit behind the schedule but enthu siastic in its crowd notwithstanding. The town Is simply Hooded with hu manity this morning and just how the visitors are to bo taken care of is something of a puzzle. The citizens of the town have done and are doing everything in their power to royally entertain their guests , but it Is an assembly which would put the beds of Norfolk or any other ordinarily largo city out of business in mighty short order. Five thousand eyes are opened wide at the things Donesteel can show. 'Situated in the midst of an agricul tural country which is teeming with the most magnificent kind of crops ; edged with a vast tract of government land which is to be opened up , in all probability , very soon ; and filled from end to end with business men of the wide awake , progressive type , Bono- titeol , South Dakota , is a town to be envied and one with a future surely lieforo it. Despite the rain last night , which lias put a damper on some of the pro gram that had been arranged , the sight-seers are getting their money's worth. Camped just at the west edge of town , in perhaps a hundred scat tered tepees , are a large number of Indians from the reservation , who are in town to give their various dances. They came in yesterday afternoon and pitched their camp. There may be trouble for some of the whites of the community as a number of them are said to have gotten firewater very soon after their arrival. Their raid this morning was unique to a degree and interested many spectators. At 10 o'clock the Twenty-second in fantry band , from Fort Crook , gave a delightful concert for an hour. Im mediately afterward came the Indian parade , typical of early modes of travel. A mammoth Indian barbecue Avas started at noon and two hours later the schedule starts the train for the reservation , where visitors go to look over the land. A good list of street sports will follow. As to the opening of the reservation , Bonesleel people are nnanimnos in the opinion that it will come next spring. The News reporter interviewed sev eral of the business men and some of the Indians who attended Major Me- Laughlln's council down on Ponca creek. Thomas Cutschall , who was in the thick of the council , states that Major McLaughUn declared the land would be opened whether the treaty was signed or not. "It is too late to complain now , " Thomas quotes the major , "and the land will bo opened. You might , therefore , just as well sign and got recognition in Washington. " The new treaty offers $2.75 an aero for the land and the Indians want $5.00 in cash. They figure that this land adjacent to country selling at $35.00 , ought to bo worth at least$5.00. It is.of courseunimproved in anyway and with no cultivation at all. Tom is one of the men who gets ICO acres of ground every time ho has a now heir , His wife is a fine looking squaw and they have four handsome children , besides one dead. Just 800 acres is theirs because of their addition to the race and their blow at its decrease. The other day Tom was offered $2 , ' 000.00 for the ICO acres which his dead boy left. It Is probable that the land will bo given out by the means of the lottery system. This does not please the In dlans who prefer the squatter's right method. "By lottery , " said one , "a man in Chicago or Now York has as good a chance at the land as wo do. " How it Produces. Several cabbage heads , weighing 19 pounds each ; four potatoes aggregating - gating six pounds ; a pumpkin easily i foot and a half In diameter ; a stalk of corn fourteen foot high ; a blade of clover six feet tall ; and oats weighing 57 poiinds to a machine measured bushel are samples of what Gregory county has put forth this season. To bacco and migar beets are also among the -Uputs and they are llrst class. . 'Ip Pine has just returned from the i Unto fair and the Nebraska state K < f d his display of crop sam ples nro P . ly lmmonno. Much of the corn lit % filroady rlpo andlhreo four ° * ' of weather or moi\ < , warm will put It out < > < * / 'iger. Corn Is " , ute to CO bushels \Pflt \ j acre ; oats COte to no. The business men of Uonesteol are progressive. They go into t'iclr pock ets on all occasions to raise fund1 ? that will help the town and they are making It win. Among the features of the place that are really worth whllo is the Gregory County Pilot , odltoil imd man aged by U. V. Wood , formerly of Mad ison. The Pilot is as pretty a paper as ono could care to ilnd In u day's journey and it contains moro actual typo than any other weekly paper In this section , with the exception of the Norfolk NowH-.Iournal. The Givgory County News is the only other paper liere. The Pilot makes a specialty of county news and keeps land seekers In touch with every detail on the res ervation. The Forbes Locating Agency is an other feature which does a good busi ness and is eminently high grade. It is managed by H. W. Forbes , who has been in Omaha during the week and who accompanied the excursionists to Uonesteol this morning. A neat program of the day's events has been Issued by Hathman & Keller , prominent real estate ilrm. Bonestcol itself is of course a ty pical frontier town. About COO people live here already and It. is expected that many moro will come when the land is opened up. The train gets people Into the sta tion at 5 in the evening and carries them away at 15 : ! in the morning. And every train coming in is loaded. Until midnight last night the store keepers and real estate dealers were busy getting ready for the Influx of nests. Many temporary lunch count ers were put up , and even this addi tion has been nimble to feed everyone on time. The day has been a good deal like the famous frontier day at Cheyenne , with nhouting redskins wild cow boys and other features of a new and unde veloped territory. Appreciate Daly News. Among the townsfolk , and especially with the enterprising classes , who appreciate a good thing , the fact that a special noon edition of The Norfolk Dally News is to be Issued for Bone- steel made a hit. They universally realize that they can get telegraphic news in this paper about ten hours later each day than in any morning dally in the field anywhere. Theyalso appreciate the fact that a special cor respondent has been sent by the paper to do justice to the program that comes off this afternoon. Charles Dougan of Norfolk was among the early arrivals. CONGRESS CAN OPEN IT , Decision .of Supreme Court Gives Them Power ReportofMajor Me- Laughlln's Recall Erroneous. Sioux City , Sept. 12. Special to The News : "The report that Major McLaughlin , Indian agent at Rosebud agency , was recalled to Washington , D.C."said EdHaakinson of Bonestoel , S. D. , who formerly lived here , to a Tribune reporter , "Is incorrect. The major is still on duty at the reserva tion. Bonesteel citizens returning from the agency tell mo the major knows nothing of the story which was printed a week or more ago saying ho had been recalled. The story inti mated the' move of the government had some bearing on the reservation question and shows Its unwillingness to open up for settlement the 410,000 acres of land. "Nothing more will bo done until congress meets. That body has it in its power to open the land under the old treaty or under the new bill. Some years ago the reservation occu pied by the Comanchos was opened for settlement and less than one-third of the legal signers signed the treaty. Chief Lone Wolf opposed the treaty and began a suit against 'the govern ment. The case was taken to the supreme premo court , which held that the gov > eminent as guardian might do what it deemed best for its wards with or without their consent. The treaty to open the Rosebud reservation now has fully one-third of the legal signatures attached. It now rests with congress to see to the opening of those lands during the next session. Wo have every assurance from the delegation that the bill will pass. All Bonesteol enthusiastically believes this. The excursion over the Northwestern to night Is to show those who come to the town the line topography of the land and its apparent agricultural qualities. It will bo a gala day for Bonesteel. The Fort Crook military band will bo there and a big athletic program has boon arranged. " Whoever wins will have a beautiful outfit this Mag and the rubber tired runabout. The vehicle may bo scon at Battler's. Meet at Plainview Today for Second Annual Picnic. ADDRESSES , MUSIC AND SPORTS. Weather Was Uncertain , Out the Gathering Lacked Nothing of En thusiasm on that Account Many Strangers In the Town. Plainview , Nob. , Sopl. 12. From a Staff Correspondent : The second an- inual reunion and picnic of the Pierce county ( dd settlers IH in progress here today. A largo number of the old timers , with their families and friends , ire here from all over the county , and that they are having a good time IH very apparent. The rain of last night ind this morning has not materially Interfered with the program , although it made the grounds rather wet fur the opening of the picnic and the threatening aspect of the we.Uhor IIIM undoubtedly served to keep ninny of the more timid ones at. home , but the ardor of those who came In has ap parently not boon In the least dam lenoil. Some of the old follows from dis tant parts of the county have not seen 'iich ' other for years , and when Ihuy ; ct together there Is something u > say. say.Well Well filled baskets may bo seen in [ ibundance , and when noon and dinner time comes there will bo feast from which no 0110 may depart hungry That good , old-time Nebraska hospi tality Is present In great bunches and 10 stranger will bo permitted to enter the gates but who Is furnished sub stantial evidence of its inclusive qual ities. ities.Tho The Pierce County Old Settlers' association was organized last year and the llrst picnic held at Pierce , the county seat , on August 21 ! . The first olllcers of the association were R. Lucas , Foster , secretary ami treasurer ; August Hiiebnor , Hndar , president ; Hason Turner , Pierce , vice lirosldon. OUlcers this year are the same , with the exception of president , Win. Alexander of Plainview being president this year. The association members now mini her about seventy-five , most of them lioads of families , HO that the entire families are counted in for all picnic and similar purposes , making a good crowd which has been swelled by nonmembers - members , who are welcome to partlc ipate , and enjoy the events of the day , open to all. It Is expected that a large number of new members will ho taken in today. The requisites for membership are an admission fee of twenty-five cents , and that the ap plicant shall have been a resident of Pierce county for ten years or more. Both men and women are on the rolls' The object of the association is to have a picnic every year , whereat the old pioneers and their families can ct together , talk over old times , ex change reminiscences of the early days when the wolves howled at night and houses were few and far between and not much at that. Thousands of people throughout the county and in neighboring counties had planned to attend this second meeting ofthe association , but of course the crowd has been consider ably reduced by the storm of last night and the threatening character of the weather this morning , especially on the part of those who arecompelled to drive. A beautiful grove in the town limits has been chosen and fitted up for the event , but if the weather will not ad mit of an outdoor meeting adjourn ment will be taken to the opera house or some other building that will ac commodate the people attending to the best advantage. KxSenator William V. Allen of Madison and Hon. W. M. Robertson of Norfolk , who are to deliver the prin cipal addresses of the day , are here , and the program promises to bo car ried out without a hitch. Rev. J. .1. Parker , pastor of the Congregational church is to deliver the address of welcome , and Hvc-mlnuto talks are to be made by Rev. Mr. Leldy , Rev. Mr. Hlllyar , G. P. Watson , O. J. Frost and Robert Lucas. Music will Inter sperse the program and furnish an entertainment of merit and decidedly worth listening to. The program of sports to be glvon at II o'clock this afternoon , will occu py the balance of the day. Good prizes are offered and many are hero for the solo purpose of entering the contests , The present prospects are that the weather will clear in tlmo to leave the grounds in excellent condition for the events. ESCAPE THREATENED FROST. Weather Man Said One Was Possible , But it Didn't Come Last Year It Froze Plenty. fFrom Saturday'H Daily. ] Ono year ago last night all growing vegetation was emphatically and sue cessfiilly retired from activity by a freeze that left a scum of Ice on still water and sent a chill through the hearts of the people who were con fident that a corn crop and other crops had boon ruined. It developed later , however , that there was plenty of corn , and that none but tender veg etables were ruined , although the value of other crops miffurcd depre ciation In value. The weather man yesterday feared that ( hero would be a front hiHl nlghl and his prediction of a possible frost In the north portion wore homo out by the Inky black clouds thatgathored In the north early In the evening. The Houth wind braced Itmdf for a contest with HoreitH. however , and the Imttlo WIIH a pretty one , the mmth wind coming out triumphant and driv ing hack the Hlorm that threatened to be followed by freezing tempera ture , and Instead It was alumni uncom fortably warm , the minimum tempera- lure being < Jfi degrees , the warmeHl It luiii been for about a week. The showers that , reunited from the content of ( lie elcmcntM WIIH not de sired , hut II was HO light that It did little more that lay the ilitHt which IIIIH been bothering for several days. The oHcnpo of the country from frost visitation again last night gives ( he optimists renewed courage In the liollcf that the corn Is rapidly harden ing and another week without frost will develop a yield that will be a rec ord-breaker beyond a doubt. THE BONESTEEL EXCURSION , Three Heavy Trains Carried the Vis itors Through Norfolk Last Night to the South Dakota Town. IKriini Siitimlnv'H Pnllv I It was a great excursion that panned through Norfolk last night over the Northwestern for HoiiOHleel. The ex- t-iirHlonlstH were gathered here during the early hours of the evening by the regular trains and will by Hpeelabi to their destination. The News' spec ial from llonesteel gives the number who arrived there at 2.5(10 ( , but It JH probable that the correct number Is , > 00 to 1 SOO. The regular No. t ! from the east last night on the Northwestern brought about 'U)0 ) excursionists , and this was followed by a second section glvnu over entirely to Honesteel people , bringing between oOO and SOO. About i ISO came from the west'on the North western anil nearly as many more were picked up by the trains belwoon hero and Hone.stool. Quito a number went from hero. The excursion was sent out in three trains. The llrst loft at y : : ! ( ) with eight coaches , the second at 10:10 : with thirteen coaches , and the third at 1:15 : this morning. The llrst train arrived in llonesteel at 50 : ! this morn ing on schedule time , and the others followed about an hour apart. A big time has been laid out for the entertainment of the visitors at Bono- steel and It will bo an experience long to be I'jinonibored. COLLEGE FOLK LEAVE HOME , Many Norfolk People Left the City for Their Several Campus Homes. IKroin Monilny'H Dully. ] College doors are open again for another term of class work and the trains going out of Norfolk In every direction today bore living evidence of the fact. Dozens of young men and women left the- city or passed through today enroll to to their college halls. Many of them are just entering their freshman year and will have lots to learn. They will ho the servants of seniors and the subjects for jests for many months to come and within three weeks their letters will look blue for fair ; some , too , are going for their last time , preparing to enter this wnok their final year's work at college and planning to get started Into the world immediately after. There were many touching farewells at the railroad sta tions as the trains drew away many wavlngs of handkerchiefs just at the last moment before the wheels began to turn. SANITARIUM TO BE REOPENED , The Hospital Established by Drs. Sal ter & Salter Will be Started October 1. [ From Monday's Dally.l The sanitarium which was cstab' lishcd In Norfolk several years ago and which was so successfully con ducted for several seasons by Drn. Salter & Sailor , Is to bo reopened in Norfolk October 1. For some time the need of a hospital in this city has been felt and especially now , since the Bonesteel country has been so well opened up and since the section is dl rectly Irlbulary to Norfolk. Plans have just been completed for the re establishment of the institution and within two weeks the ill and Injured will bo well taken care of hero. MIRACULOUS ESCAPE , Eight Persons Injured by the Falling of the Stone Coping From the Flat Iron Building. Now York , Sept. 15.

Mrs. MiiRselman of this City Tolls of the Dcautles of Nature on a Tour of Central Colorado The Silver Plume Mine. I Krntn Hiiliiriliiy'H Dully. ] Wo left ( 'olmnhiiB at 7IK : ) p. in. on ho Flyer over ( ho Union Pacific rail road for a trip to Pueblo , ( ' ( dorado Springs. Manltou and Denver. Iteached Denver at ! ) o'clock In the morning MI TuoHday , AiigiiHt 25 , waited until 11:15 : then hoarded our train on the Colorado Southern for Pueblo. The Hcenery between Denver and 'aimer lake (7,000 ( feel above HCU evel ) was , to our unaccustomed eyim , . cry beautiful , but from there to 'uoblo tin1 country IH almoHl barren. It was a long , ledloim rldo and wo were relieved when we reached the .Mid of our Journey for I ho day nt I : , ' ! 0 In the afternoon. Wo were taken .o the home of my brother , whore , ifter a clean-up and rout , wo were greatly refreshed and anxious to "seo" Pueblo , which might truly be named the "City of the Desert. " 1 lieard one lady remark , "Well , ( hero ire no 'Imy-HoedH1 here ; every ono Ives In town , " which was true , HH we Haw very few farnui. Pueblo has for Its leading liuhmlry the great steel works which employ many hundreds of men , and IH dubbed Lho "backbone" of Pueblo. No ono IH allowed to enter HIOHO work.'i ex cept the management and employes , because of the great and constant langor to life and limb. I wan told that but fnw days passed that did not < co one or more fatal accidents , ono > r more men being killed or badly hurt , HO wo contented oiirmtlvoH with i look from a high viaduct Into the yards. It wan a very wonderful sight. Rows of tall , black smokestacks , belching inky clouds of mnoku ; re torts spitting out lurid llaiues ; boilers uul engines pulling away , while every lltllo whllo explosions , "blowouls" were heard , and above and around IIH for mlloH the night WIIH brightened by those lights. Altogether It wan n sight which might bo likened to the description of that old fashioned place wo were laiight when a child to bcllovo was a real place. Wo Hpent two bourn in the com pany's hospital , were taken by a very courleoiis guldo through each depart ment , shown the main operallng room with all Its growHomo appliances. There are no steps , nor do they use elevators , the distance from ono floor to another being covered by Inclined planes. All floors are made from a certain kind of cement and all cook ing Is done by steam. It is said that this Is one of the best equipped hospi tals there Is. We left Pueblo for Colorado Springs Monday morning , reaching our desti nation at 1 o'clock In the afternoon. We took a carriage and a guide and were driven through that wonderful creation , "Tho Garden of the Gods. " MI formations are of a kind of red sandstone. We stood in awe before the Balanced Rock , a rock of many tons weight resting upon a very slight pedestal , looking as though a very slight wind or movement would throw It upon IIH , and wo felt like stepping back. Then the Washer woman , a perfect imitation of a woman bending over the tub , per fectly natural , you need not use Im agination to gut her picture. Then the KiHHlng Camels , showing the heads of two camels In clone proximity , giv Ing the rock the name. The Three GraceH are lliree flat ( perpendicular ) slabs standing many feet high , with openings between in which a man can walk upright , and many more curious formallons which I Haw which Impressed me with feelings of awe and wonder. Wo relumed to and passed through the Gateway , then were driven along one of the most perfecl counlry roads I ever saw , to Glen Hyrle , which Is the property and where is the palatial home of General Palmer. At its entrance stands that wonderful Major Dome , apparently guarding that beautiful domain which this good man calls homo. Kvei ; turn of our carriage gave us some moro beautiful sight , which must bo seen to bo understood and appreciated. After being un loaded at the hack stand , our place of slarllng , wo look a car for Man ! ton and Pike's peak , and spent the rest of the day Ihero viewing Hie beautiful litllc city lying snuggled up among the mountains.

At 7:30 : Tuesday morning wo boarded the train lo go over the celebrated Georgetown Loop , at a distance tanco of somelhing over 10,000 feel above sea level. You may read of and hear this part of Colorado dls cussed by those who have seen It , but no ono can realize what Clear Creek canon is without you actually see It for yourself.
