Five carloads of Bohemians came
in to Hennessey last evening, and
the streets are now covered with
people of that nationality.
Mrs. I). E. Campbell and child-
ren arrived last evening from a

If you want a correct map of

Wm. Friend and family arrived
from Great Bend, Kas., last even-
ing, and it is pleasure to note that
Mr. Friend intends to make Hen-
nessey his future home.
City Marshal John McKeever got I

that she may not recover. We hope
to hear of her recovery soon.

ALL ON AN EQUALITY.
No Entering the Strip Prom the
East Line on the Opening
Day.
Guturik, Ok., Sept. R. .i'hdge
Wamack in charge of the- opening
of the strip has definite orders from
Secretary Smith to1 the effect that
no settlers will be allowed to enter
the country from the east' line on
opening day and this makes the
whole race from the north and
south lines and gives everybody an
equal chance.
.Thousands of maps are being sold
to the boomers with markings on
them claiming to be the Cherokee
allotments, which were only mode
last night.—K> C. Star.
AT THE CHURCH.
Mr. C. A. Courtney living 7 miles
uorthwest of town brought us in
two peaches that weighed a fraction
ofer one pound. They are from
trees that have only been set out
two years and are only three years
from the seed. They are the finest
we have seen, and would be good
specimens at the world's fair
Mr. W. S. Overstreet will l>e
found at hiN old stand from now on.
lie has been detained at home on
account of sickness for some time,
lie invites all his old and al&o new
patrons to call and see him. Good
cabinet photos furnishtd for #2.60
per dozen. First-class work guar-
anteed. and perfect satisfaction giv-
en to the most fastidious in my line
of art.
About the roughest, ornery and
dangerest piece of road wo hav<
been on lately is between Crescent
City and Guthrie. If Guthrie has
in the future have to depend on her
country and especially such a coun-
try her board of trade and merchants
' had better devise some means so
the farmer can get there. The 1 hil-
ton and Starr gang ought to change
their headquarters from the creeK
■country to a few miles north west
'j£ Guthrie.
The musical entertainment at the
M. E. Church Thursday evening by
Prof. Sanford and others, was
well attended, and all who were
present claim that nothing over giv-
en in Hennessey was the equal of it.
I Mr. Sanford is a splendid musician
ami knows how to give an enter-
tainment of this kind.
The following is a copy of the
program rendered,

The Third assistant Postmaster
General has refused to permit
"Mistletoe Leaves" to be entered as
second class matter. The reason
given is that it is not published for
the dissttrmi nation of information
to the public. Mr. Campbell has
referred the matter and a recon-
sideration is probable, as the publi-
cation, though small, contains more
interesting news for public infor-
mation than many large sheets.
Boomers Corralled.
Hennessey, Ok., Sept. 7.—
(Special.) The report has just reach-
ed here from the soldier's camp at
Enid, Ok., that seventy-five wagons
with their occupants are corralled
by the troops, and will bo held un-
til after the opening. These boom-
ers were attempting to cross the
Strip from the north in order to
make the run from this side. From
now on one will be allowed within
the borders of the Strip upon any
pretext, no matter whether expect-
ing to locate there or not.
MENNES-
MANY PEOPLE AT
SEY.
Thousands on Hand and A\orc
Thousands on the Way-
Incidents.
Hennessey. Ok., Sept. P.—The
number of intending settlers already
here is variously estimated at from
5,000 to 10,000, but the latter is
more nearly correct. There i coins
to have been an impression that
there would not be a very great
rush from this point, and for that
reason a groat, many are coming
here that would not otherwise have
done so.
If they continue to come in at
the present ratio there will lie at
least 20,000 people to make the run
for tho county just north of here.
One outfit containing about twentv
Goo. Orput, an old pioneer of
Oklahoma at El Reno, gave us a
call. We find him a very pleasent
gentleman.
Charles Hunter an old newspaper
man of Okarcher, formerly has been
here lining up the boys for registra-
tion at the booth. Charley is a hus-
tler and no mistake, lie has every-
thing ready to start a republican
paper at Enid and will have the
first issue out by the 20th of this
month. Success to you Charley.
Reported decrease in the World's
Fair attondence this week. It can't
be expected people will attend such
a strip opening as this without its
effect on the show over in Illinois.
It is superlative gall for tho re-
publicans to lay the short comings
of one Beeson to the democrats.
Beeson was appointed by George
. Steele, Ben Harrison's fovernor
of Oklahoma.
You may put the south half of
the Strip down as safely democratic.
Sturdy Texas and sensible people
from old O. T., will predominate
and shape the politics there. P'ou-
ulists from southwest Kansas will
have a good footing on the north
side.
Yes, and No.
To the Editor of tho Eagle:
Can a citizen of the United States
21 years of age take more than one
town lot at the opening of the Cher
okee strip? Can the same citizen
j get two certificates, one for a town
I lot and the other for a homestead?
Can the owner of 100 acres of land
take a town lot? A Sl-hscriiiur.
A person who is qualified to enter
upon and occupy any of the lands
| to lie opened may take two town
lots, one as a homestead and
other by preemption, lie may also
take a IliO acre claim and one town
. , . „ , lot. To do this last will require
men, with about asmanv fast horses,J ... ,
two certificates, as we understand
the regulations governing tho open*.
left Perry on the Santa Fe and came
here, thinning to have a soft snap,
but on seeing the number of good
horses here and the great crowds
of people, retraced their steps.
There is much speculation as to
what will be done in regard to town
site matters at Enid. A town com-
pany has been formed at Wichita
with M. W. Levy, the banker, at
its head, with the intention of mak-
ing a town where the depot is locat-
ed and where the county seat was
first laid out, the present town site
being tw o and a half miles south.
A very interesting town fight will
follow if this town company can
secure the co-operation of tho rail-
road company, which seems prob-
able.
About 200 boomers came in on
the Rock Island from the north yes-
terday and four car loads of people
arrived last night. One young fel-
low from the East was provided
with a pick and shovel neatly wrap-
ped for convenient transportation.
A large muscular looking woman
with a determined air carried a bird
cage containing a songster of some
description. A timid, sickly little
woman had a small market basket
containing a sickly looking geran-
ium.
Who great crowds and tho im-
mense amount of baggage and ex-
press matter handled by the rail-
roads must necessarily delay the
trains a little, but everything inl
their power is being done by the!
Rock Island officials and the em-!
ployees here for the accommodation I
of the public.—K. C. Star.
ing of the strip lands. The owner
of 100 acres in fee simple is barred.

CLIPPINGS-
From Dover Chieftain.
The Democrat gave Hennessey's
business men an excellent write in
Its last issue.
Eighty copies of the New Okla-
homa Statutes have been received at
tho court house for distribution
among the Justices of the Peace
throughout the county.
Judge J. I). F. Jennings our es-
teemed fellow townsman has been
appointed Probate Judge of O
county at Enid by Governor Ren-
frow. This is but a slight rec-
ognition of the Judges gallent serv-
ices for the Democratic party in the
Territory.
Tho Enid townsite is a daisy, A
beautiful ravine about four hundred
yards wide extends from west to
east through the entire tract. This
ravine will afford excellent natural
advantages for draining the capital
of county O. The inhabitants will
be cliff dwellers.
The marriage of Ii. A. Lyle, our
worthy county attorney, to Miss
Minnie Marley occured too late to
be noted in our last week's issue,
however it is better late than never
and the Reformer wishes the happy
young couple a long prosperous life,
and we might add that in the joy of
their present and future laay the
sorrow.> and disappointments seem
but for otton trifles.
