IJroko tlio Lumps. A strange accident took place at the light tower at the corner of Fifth avenue nnd Twentieth street night before last. Two boys whoso names are Shoemaker nnd Ktu- zcustcln climbed to the platform at the base of the Iron framework of "tho tower , and amused themselves by riding up nnd down the elevator. The elevator Is balanced so as to carry n man of 100 pounds , but the man who puts the carbons on the lamps is rather small , and in order to make the balance oven ho loaded the platform down with a lot of heavy scrap Iron. After the boys had amused themselves riding up and down they yearned for some thing moro exciting , and after reaching the bottom ono of them culled out , "Lot horco Gallagher , " nnd released the platform whfch wont to tno top of the tower like a Hash of llghtnlug. The thing was" witnessed by n man who lives near by , and ho swore the s era os of iron How up in the air for u distance of 150 foot when the platform reached the top. The lamps were completely ruined and the tower was damaged to the extent of about f300. The two boys who were responsible for the damage , with u number of others about the sumo ago , have committed a number of Dotty depredations In that part of the city lately , nnd have brought down upon their heads the maledictions of their neighbors. This Is the most serious offimsn they have committed , and it Is likely they will bo taken In hand oy the authorities. Two public parks in this addition.

The school board will hold Its regular monthly mooting tomorrow ovonlng. Among the items ot business which will como before it will bo the election of a secretary nnd treasurer. The lining of these two ofllces Is always the cause of considerable excitement , and the present case will probably bo no ex ception to the rulo. At the present snl- nry , however , the sccrotarvship will not bo likely to become the object of much of n light. Tbo now rules ot the board provide that ono of the duties of the secretary shall bo to spend two hours of each day in the board rooms. The rules > 3o not provide for any corresponding Incranso In the salary , nnd consequently there will not bo much of n quarrel over the ofllco until that Httlo formality Is gene through with. Some of the members nro understood to bo In favor of increasing the salary , as it Is feared com petent persons cannot co Induced to talto the place at $25 n month. . Please don't ask us whether Morning- side was platted last year or not. It was , and is a matter of public record which you are supposed to know. Be sides wo have advertised it 10,000 times , moro or loss. The truth of the matter Is the improvements in the addition in the way of grading and building are so great , that it is hard to reali/.o that they have all been mudo within a year. But they have boon and greater will bo made another year. If you want a place to build a homo within a few years now is the tlmo to buy n lot cheap and pay for It on monthly paymontp.

There nro several causes for excitement , chief among them being the largo number of negroes who have gathered by hundreds nt Langston. the Oklahoma negro colony , nnd who Intend to move en inasso upon the Clmnrron valley , the best , perhaps , of all the now lauds , and scttlothcro to the exclusion of all other settlers. Many white settlers , among them bolnc numbers of desperate and unscrupulous cowboys , object to the negroes' plans nnd will take desperate chances to pru-ompt choice claims In the very face of the negro hosts. The most des perate sny they will oppose by force the wholesale settlement of the negroes In the valley. The cooler heads , however , know that the race will bo to the swift , no matter what his color. If the negroes got there first , the land Is theirs. If the whites out run the negroes the latter must look clso- where for claims. Thn excitement caused by tbo hostility ol the cowboys to the negroes , has been of such n long standing now that It is believed It will Imvo nearly died out when the hour fortho ruih occurs. Langston Is several miles from hero , nnd is without telegraphic facilities , so that no olllcial news has been received from there since the force of deputy marshals weut there thcro yesterday to proveut the threat ened disturbances. Colored People Not Wanted. Another cause for excitement in the hatred of the Indians for the nogro. The Sio nnd Fox Indians claim tnat tholr lands were sold to the government under a distinct agreement that they were to bo opened to ' 'whito soUIcment. " They know they themselves cannot prevent the nccrocs from settling on tno lands , but they hint In unmtstultablo terms that they will make It very uncomfortable " for the "black man" if ho" settles among them. The Clmarron valley Includes a portion of tholr lands , and between the hos tile Indian and the desperate cowboy the negro Is having an exciting time of It. Still nnotbcr cause for excitement is the uncertainty as to just what lauds may bo claimed by the ordinary settlor. The sottlcr may bo the most deserving and most dcsir- ublo sort of n person ; ho may innlto a success ful race for u certain section of land and may claim It , but when ho goes to the land oflleo to file his claim ho may find that ho has claimed an Indian's allotment or nil old so.- dlor's pro-emptionl The Indians' allotments nro not staked out , and of course the old soldiers , who are given the privilege of selecting nnd pre-empting KiO ncrjs each simply by filing an ordinary declaratory statement , have not marked out in Iho lands these sections which they declare they will settle upon. Thu claimant , the re fore , has no means of Knowing just what section ho may claim , except Irorn the list published by the secretary of the Interior. These lists contain descriptions ditllcult of being deciphered by the ordinary reader. The ordinary claimant , therefore , must take his chances in selecting his piece of ground of sclocting that which an Indian may have claimed under allot ment or which may have been cov ered by nu old soldhr's declaratory statement. TUCMJ declaratory statements are very numerous. The land onico here is besieged by veterans or their representatives. They have formed n long line which stretches from the door of the of fice a distance or three or four squares. In the lii.o are several old soldiers and many speculators who have purchased for n trilling sum the declaratory statements of old sol dier * und who sell thorn to the highest bid der. Others have taken places in the line simply to sell them to some loss fortunate person. An Unprecedented Iltisn. Before the arrival of the morning trains today the city was almost deserted. Every one who Intended to claim a homestead In the now lands had gene yesterday afternoon or last night to Iho border of the now lands to find a favorable starting place for Tues day's rnco The arrivals by today's trains however , soon filled the town again with people who had waited until nearly the last minute before getting on the ground. They tarried only long enough to purchase an outfit and were soon on tholr way to tno borders. Every train now brings hundreds of people , nnd there Is much confusion und excitement. Out on the border there Is llttlo excitement it Is a restless expectancy there. The pco plo there arc camped In prairie schooners , tents and brush huts for the most part , but many hnvo no covering but n blanket with the sod for a bed. The crowds U.cro are good n attired and but few disturbances are reported und they arc of a trivial nature. Unless trouble results ut Langston between the negroes and cowboys It b expected the settlement of the now lands will bo made peacefully. ICtTortN to Protect Settlers. WASHINGTON , D. C. , Sept , 11) . Information has reached the Interior department from various sources that speculators ore prepar ing to nso powers of attorney , obtain cd from a very luhjo numfiorof ox-soldlcr.i , to file declaratory statements , under section 2JiUf of the rovlbcd statutes , on lands to bo opened to settlement bv the president's proclamation of yesterday , without anv boua tide intention on the pnrt of the soldiers to become perma nent settlers. In his letter of Instructions to the registers und receivers of the land offices to which'this now country Is attached the secretary do- chiros that "any such proceedings would bo fraudulent and you will endeavor to defeat thorn if attempted by nny moans properly in your power. Yon will ndvlso bona fide sot- tiers not to purchase rullnqulshinonts of such filings when It appears that they wcra not made with tbo Intention of following them up by settlement In good faith under the law. " It Is stated at the general land oftlco that the information Is to the effect that unscru pulous persons have purchased from thou sands of old soldiers In different parts of the country for a very small consideration , usu ally $ " ) , powers of attorney to enter In tholr name t tic.so Oklahoma Indian 'lands. In most of thcso cases the sol Her has no Intention of ultimately making his homo on the land nnd the entry forms n cloud upon the tltlo of nn actual settler , who may have g no lipon the land a few hours after the soldier's entry was filed. In thcso cases the actual settler , particularly , is not approached until ho has expended n sum of money In Improvements , und would bo will ing to pay something , say f , * > 0 or flOO , to havu the cloud'removed. But for the prompt ac tion of tbo Interior department olllotnU the revenues of the so-called attorneys from this source would undoubtedly have boon largo , Interpreted by Secretary Nolilu. The secretary of tbo Interior tonight Issued the follow Instruction to the registers and re ceivers of tbo land ofllcos at Uuthrlo and Oxlahomn City , sending also a copy to Gov ernor Steele of that territory.

A rather sensa tional cut In take nnd rail rates from Iloiton and Now Htiglpnd points to St. Paul nnd Minneapolis has been announced by the Na tional Dispatch. These rntos , bnsod on the official classification , nro ns follows ; First class , 50 cents'second ; , 40 cents ; third , TJ cents ; fourth , 20 cents ; fifth , 21 cents ; sixth , 81 cents. This basis is 10 cents lower than that of the rail rates from Chicago to St. 1'iuil , which nro as follows : First class , CO cents ; second , & 0 cents ; third , 40 coutsj fourth , 25 cents ; fifth , IS cents ; sixth , 18 cents. The now tariff from Boston Is via the Contrnl Vermont it Snrnla. As business from Now Hngland points to the northwest Is not heavy nt this season of the year , It Is probable that the Chicago nnd St , Paul roads will Ignore this now cut , but the Chicago jobbers nro getting uneasy and may demand a partial removal nt least of the discrimina tion ugaiust them. The statement of the Northwestern blind passenger pool for August shows the fol lowing percentages of traffic for the several line * : Chicago , Mllwuukoo ft St. Paul and Kansas City , 1183 ; Chicago , Bur lington it Northern , ltl.20 ; Wisconsin Con trnl , l'J.03 ; Albert Lea , 7.7fi. Ono of the rumors current hero today Is that when the Denver & HIo Ornndo contro versy Is settled Jay Could will bo owner of that road. The rumor Is supposed to bo based on the fact that Gould nnd hlr , chief llcnutennnts , when returning from their re cent visit to Montana , traveled from Salt Lake to Dunvcron the HIo Grande and In spected every foot of that road. It Is argund further that Gould cannot afford to lot the Union Pacific bo shut out of Colorado busi ness Py allowing the Hock Island or Hurllng- ton to tie up with the HIo Grando.

KANSAS Cirv , Mo. , Sopt. 10.--Tho inter- stale commerce commission U Investigating the charges of rate cutting in Kansas City. The investigation will begin Monday In the United States circuit court and will bo conducted by Special Agent F. Krctchinrr , who arrived In the city yesterday for the purpose. The Investi gation will begin with charges of cut ting the freight rates out of Kansas City a.ul the -first line to bo looked after Is the Lchlgh Valley & Wa- bush Dispatch. Krctchmor's men began serving subprennes this morning. This ac tion Is n great surprise nnd the railroad men nro dumbfounded. It has been an open secret that the fast freight lines have been doinc most of the ctlttini ; in freight rates for several months past , but no ono dreamed that the Interstate Commerce commis sion had taken the matter up. It was generally supposed thaw the special agents wcro hero for the purpose of looking into the passenger rate situation and that the freight men were sccuro for a time at least. A number of the railroad rncm who are expecting n summons to appear and testify have made themselves scarce , and the federal olllcers arc busy searching for thorn. Tno origin of the nction of the commission Is said to bo the charges made against the Lchlgh by a rival line , which failed to get the business which was being competed for. Several other cases , it Is said , will bo in vestigated before the representatives of the commission leave the city. SEir STH1KKS D.llLY.
