THE ROSEBUD RUSH LEAVES MARKS IN EVERY TOWN. IS A BOOST TO SETTLEMENT. The Influx of Thousands and Thous ands of Eager Landseekers Must Mean Much for all Time to the Territory of the New Northwest. Never In the history of this section of the country has there been such a great big free advertisement as the New Northwest Is enjoying today. With the rush of eager homeseekers from all parts of the United States into this territory at a time of year when the crops are showing up in their very host dresses , the line of country along the Northwestern rail road from Norfolk to the end of the rails is getting looked upon with eyes which are Important the property of persons who will go back homo and picture in good shape the pros perous condition and the assured fu ture of the northwest. The rivers are all filled with fish , pure water ; the hills , capped with a verdant cloak of green , presents a picture to the car windows such as no artist has the power to paint pic tures which give reason for the be lief In the future life of the north west. The cornfields , far advanced over those of other sections of the west , and In no wise drowned out ns had been the case In eastern patches , stand up proud and tall and vain. The silky thin stalks , just getting Into shape , show what this country Is able to produce and show too , to the prospective landseeker from the east that there Is money in the earth of west the northwest and that it Is surer , Indeed , than the money of the mineral mines of the mountains. The small grain stretches out along the Holds for miles and miles in fresh , healthy , growing patches , which look good to the eye ot the passer-by. The yield , as large as can bo found unywhere In the coun try , will without a doubt Induce pros pective hdmeseekers to Invest , In caao they do not win In the drawings , In this thriving territory. The future of the now northwest IIIIH always been an assured fact. This la too good n country and too great n country not to grow nnd to got richer and bigger and stronger nml moro thickly settled every year of Its life. Hut advertising of this has given It a boost which places It where It would hnvo been ton yours from now nt an ordinary gait. Hun dreds and thousands and moro thous ands of people have been coming for throe weeks and are still coming this week , oven In greater numbers , Into thla country. Tralnlond nftor trainload - load of the landseekers , all bound for Fairfax and Honosteel , have passed through Norfolk , the gateway , en- route. They halo from every quarter of the union. In n roll call nt Fairfax the other day among n dozen men , onn wns from Toxna , one from West Virginia , another from Minnesota , n fourth from Kansas , one from Illi nois , two from Iowa , ono from No- brnskn , ono from Now York , nnd nn- other from Mississippi. During the rush there hnvo boon pcoplo from the Pnclllc nnd from the Atlantic consta. There have been young collegians from the eastern In stitutions , out here roughing it for a time nnd running a chance , In some cases , of getting lands that they can make good at later. There Is not n town along the branch of the Northwestern road north of Norfolk which has not felt the Influence of the Influx of people. At ovary town , In nn ordinary dull Mention , the hotels nre crowded nt night and there nro dozens of Inqui ries nt the real estate otllces for the prices on lands , nnd the desirability of the lands In various sections. From the east , where farm lands are worth $100 per aero , farmers are arriving to learn that In this country they can get just as good for $ 10 nnd they nre making up their minds to sell out and come west. The real estate people have not yet begun to reap the benefit which is bound to ho theirs ns soon as the filings have been completed. It is then that the results of this advertis ing will come to them In a paying quantity. Many of the towns along the now northwest have aided this free advertising with pamphlets nnd posters which will bo rend and re read by the investors after they have returned to their homes. It has been n grent thing for Nebraska - braska and southern South Dakota. It has been the very best advertise ment that the country could have found. And It couldn't have come in a better year. COLLEGE BOYS ROUGHING IT. Many of Them Doing Peculiar Stunts at Fairfax and Bonesteel. In a cosmopolitan crowd such ns has been rushing into Gregory County , mixing up nt Fairfax and at Bone- steel , there are many types of men that would hardly bo expected. There are many sorts that would surprise their mothers. In the lemonade stands , for in stance , there are college men who would look moro nt home In dress suits nt n swell social affair than be hind the lemonade stands at the street corner. Many of them wear college fraternity badges and are just out on jaunts. At Fairfax , for Instance , there are a pair of Omaha boys who have ridden through Madi son , O'Neill and then across country to the county seat of Gregory. They are spending their vacation here , hav ing great sport with the land seekers who arrive daily. One of them sits all day long In the hot sun , Just behind the rough board counter at a stand where arc sold Indian treasures and valuables. He shouts for all he Is worth , calling out the selling points of his wares. Now and then friends from the metropolis of Nebraska arrive. "Hello Chris tie , " they shout , and the boy quits for a minute. Then there Is another young fel low having a good time. Horton M\mger , brother of Mrs. Ernest Jackson , has gone to Fairfax for the summer from Omaha. He Is the chief "speeler" for the big wild west show , and rides down the streets of Fairfax every evening , shouting in a loud voice the time and place for the "grand , free exhibition on the outside. " In a clear , strong lung , he sends the message down the thor oughfare and the result Is that n large crowd gathers to watch the painted Indian do the heap big slack wire performances In front of the tent. Horton gets a dollar a speel His , lung power Is developing so that he can shout for football from the sidelines next fall. Up at Bonesteel there are dozens of college boys doing all sorts of work to make a living. On the train which came down today was ono lad who had the job of night watch at a boarding bouse. He was from an eastern college. "I stood the work as long ns I could , " said he. "It wasn't hard work a snap. But I couldn't sleep In the day time. Flies bothered me and I got sick af ter I lost so much sleep. " Fly Net Sale. I will sell flynets for the next thir ty days at a discount of from 15 to 20 per cent I am overstocked with them and they must go. Paul Nordwlg. WAS QUIETLY SPENT THERE BY THE STRANGERS. LIKE A SUNDAY tiCHOOL PICNIC There Is No Lawlessness at Bonesteel Unless the Victim Goes After It. The Gamblers are Losing Money , Thugs Going to Yankton. Bonosteel , S. D. , July 18. From n staff correspondent : Sunday was a quiet day In Uoncstcel , as compared with others of the week. This is an ticipated as the biggest rush week of the entlro time , and big trains began nrrlvlng todny. Alrendy about 55- 000 persons have registered for Rose bud lands. Of that number 17,249 had registered here up till Saturday night , 3,522 at Fairfax , 27,875 at Yank- ton and 3,07(5 ( at Chamberlain. Ysterday the aaloons had their front doors closed nnd there wns no gambling during the day , nt the wheels. A number of the landscckers were visitors at the lake west of town. Liverymen did good business. A priz light was advertised but did not materialize. A ball game wns played north of the tracks. Ono fellow at the ball game was robbed in a bold way. He had won a bet from a gemblor nnd the gambler made an offer to give the stranger $1 for every dollar ho could show up. The stranger drew his wad of $20 and in less time than It takes to tell It the whole roll had disappeared. The gambler grabbed the money nnd diaappearod. The stranger refused to give his name. When asked for it he looked wise and said , "Oh , you are one of those newspaper men. " The police were notified of the case nnd promised to look it up This class of robbery and the pick- pockts are the worst thing Bonesteel police hnvc to contend with. Pick pockets are bore , of course. They rode the trains between this city and Norfolk for a time but now thy have settled. But there is no need of any one being robbed hero who has sense enough to take care of himself. If a person comes to Bonosteol ant : minds his own business he will not bo molested. If he gets drunk , mixes with n. crowd of bad men and women , gets pushed into a jam and doesn't know where he Is at , he may be touched hero the same as In Norfolk or Omaha or any other place during a crowd. Now and then a stranger loses his cash at a wheel and then sends up a cry that he lias been robbed. Flat Joint games have been stopped. Tony Stanton , who has the concession of gambling , is as much against Hat Joints as any man. "I don't approve of unfair play , " says he. ' "I took the management of this becauoe I thought the town ought to have some protec tion , And aa a matter of fact we sent five Hat joint games to Yankton last week. " Gamblers are Leaving. Many of the gamblers are leaving dally. A number of them have gone to Yankton as have also the fiercest mugs , me gammers nere are malt ing no money. They are losing , in fact , in most cases. There are no big bets. Now and then there la a little game but there Is never a big haul. haul.The The police now and then get a pickpocket , but lie gets away. A fire men from Norfolk lost a watch and the fellow was caught. Mart Kane's nephew did the detective work. The crook was released when no one ap peared against him , but has been caught again fet n second offense. Policeman Westfield of Sioux City has gone back home with a beaten face. He bawled out a crook nnd the crooks pounded him up. "It is just like a Sunday school pic nic , " said Detective O'Neill of the Northwestern service. "There lias been no trouble and I think Bone- steel is handling the crowds mighty well. Nobody gets touched unless he Is looking for it and if a man gets Into crowds and places that he ought to be aware of , loses his mind with booze , and gives up his cash , he alone can be blamed. Bonesteel is not half as bad as people think and Yankton is no doubt much worse , though not noted for it. " Ice here sells at $1 per 100 pounds. Women who attempt to linger on the streets are made to move on by the police. ANOTHER MINE STORY. This Time it is Only 4,000 Japanese Who Have Been Blown up. Chee Foo. July 19 , 9 p. m.

The street parade wns exceptionally good and the list of artists who perform in the two rings and upon the stage is larger than ever , and the acts are most dar ing.
