Preparations to Enter the
Strip Are Getting Nu-
merous.
A special from Guthrie says:
The prospects of the early deliv
ery of the Cherokee Strip to the
home.seekers is attracting large
numbers ot boomers to that vicin-
ity. The Walnut river from Ar
kansas City to the northern boun-
dary of the strip is lined with
boomers, awaiting permission to
cross over. New arrivals ooour
every day and the prospects are
that the rush into the Cherokee
land will be quite equal to that
into Oklahoma a year ago. At
that place, which is near the
southern boundary of the strip,
the boomers are beginning to ar-
rive in great numbers, choosing
the banks of the Cottonwood river
as their temporary homestead.
The boomers arrive mostly in
prairie schooners and use the
wagon covers for tents, while they
gain a livelihood hunting and
hiring out to farmers. The recent
norther with ita severe oold
has caused some suffering among
the poorly housed people, No
fatalities have been reported. The
boomers who are camped around
Guthrie will have a double chance
at securing free land—one chance
at the Cherokee strip and one at
the Iowa reservation. The Iowa
Indians recently determined to
take up the land in severalty and
sell the remainder oi their reser-
vation to the government. There
are only eighty-four members of
the tribe, and the majority of
them have already staked out
their claims. When each shall
have taken the allotted amount of
land there will remain 200,000
acres of land, quite as fertile and
attractive as any yet opened up to
settlement in the southwest. It
is believed that congress will de-
clare the Iowa reservation open to
settlement at the same time as
the Cherokee strip.

Gov. : Guy, about 8 miles oat.
Sunday morning his body was
fonnd only a half mile from
Washita with the entire left side
of his skull crashed in small bits
by striking a tree while the horse
was evidently running at full
■peed. Death must have bten in-
stantaneous and only a few mom-
ents after he left the store of Dav-
is. In response to a telegram the
junior member of the firm of Turk
Bros., together with an assistant
came to Washita, bringing with
them a nett case for the inter*
ment of the body, which was bur-
ied here in aocordanoe with the
wishes of his parents which was
only learned from a dispatch re-
ceived from a brother doing busi-
ness in Atlanta, Ga. After the
burial, Messrs. Turk Bros, very
generously bore all expenses con-
nected with the burial.

Says editorially: j"I received from
A. K. Hawkes, of Austin, a pair
of his Crystalized Lens spectacles,
and I must say I was surprised to
find them so transparent and fine
I consider these spectacles the
best in existence, and can highly
jecommend them to all those who
are obliged to use glasses. I be-
lieve that these lenses really pre
sewe the ayes, and not like so
many inferior and badly grounc
glasses do, injure the sight.

Huntley - Harrison Comedy
Company.
This oompany played a three
night's engagement at the opera
house in this oity last week with
a matinee Saturday evening. Mr.'
Huntley and part of this troupe
had visited Waxahachie before and
have always been favorites with
the people here. But onr citizens
hardly expected such a change in
the talent of this troupe sinoe its
previous visits to our oity. There
is not an inferior performer in the
troupe, and it is pronounoed by
all one of the best that trsvels in
Texas, a reputation which they
deserve and is sustained by every
performance. At each perform-
ance given here the opera house
was filled with enthusiastio ad-
mirers of the oompany. The first
night of their appearance they
presented the play entitled
"Van the Virginian," which is a
beautiful play and presents the
sad life of a noble woman who is
ourshed with a drunken and worth-
less husband; also displays the
worth of a true and henest man
battling against ihe misfortunes
that befall all in life.
As a whole in the Huntley-Har-
rison oompany is the best that
travels in Texas, and Mr. Hunt-
ley and Miss Phosa McAllister are
as fine actors as can be found in
the country, and the whole com-
pany is a strong one.—Waxaha-
chis Democrat.
The above company will appear
in Gainseville Thursday, March

It is not generally .known that
Pneumonia and bronchitis carry
off one-third of the human race,
but such are the facts, and what is
more surprising, both of the aboue
diseases result from neg-
lecting a common ordinary
oold. A cough should never be
neglected. If it is, every time you
catch oold you oough harder, and
it sticks by you longer. Callard's
Horehound Syrup is the best
remedy in the world for pneumo-
nia, bronchitis and all throat and

throat troubles, call for Ballard's
Horehound Syrup and take no
other. J. C. Morgeson, Agent.

A Dangerous Post.
An iron post that supports the
awning in front of R. H. Alwood's
butcher shop, was disoovered last
night to be beevily charged with
electricity, supposed to have been
caused by its close proximity to
an electric wire, used in connec-
tion with inoandescent lights,
which passes under the awning. A
number of men and boys congre-
gated about the magnetic post and
amused themselves for an hour or
so, in taking shocks, and occasion-
ally destroyed the monotony o:
the occasion by forcing the caudle
appendage of some worthless ca-
nine against the post, which never
failed to produce a yelp and vodf*
erous howl of pain by the dog, who
immediately went in search of
more genial set of masters, it is
supposed, as he failed to return to
the amateur electricians, who hac
so unmercifully warmed the poor
animal's hide by forcing him
against a oold iron ooiumn.
