HAVEN'S GOOD OUTLOOK.
Special dispatch to the daily Eacie.
Havex, Kan., April 29. The prospect';
for large crops in this vicinity improve
daily. Wheat is not yet headed out but
the head is in the "boot." Oats are doing
well and are one foot hiqh, corn is large
enough to tend, peaches, cherries and
fruits are irood. There was a great de
mand for faun land this spring, and not
near enough to furnish those who wanted
to put in crops; some are trying to engage
farms for next year alread3. 2sow when
nearly every quarter section is under the
plow, with the exception of the meadows
and pastures, this speaks well for this
locality. The flouring mill, after two
j-ears successful running, has been over
hauled and some new machinery added,
and again started up and running fuli
time. The flour made would be hard to
beat. The creamery and cheese factory is
giving good satisfaction, both to the peo
ple who sell the milk and also those who
eat the butter. So far the creamery has
not been able to supply the demand from
from the west for its particular brand of
butter, which has sold from the first churn
ing to the present time at the highest quo
tations and often above. Our farmers
think the factory a bonanza.
PROBABLY FOR MATINDALE.
Err.EKA, Kan., April 23. The Repub
lican county convention today selected E.
Tucker, A. C. Watrous, E. Ellingson, J.

was Clonstonvs. Mart, ndale. and Cloeston
was defeated by a vote of 390 to 22. Tne
delegation is unpledged, but soldid for
William Martindale in case he is a candi

Guthrie, Oklahoma, April 29. Muni
cipal pride is asserting itself and the peo
ple are arising in indignation against the
many lying reports of homicide and mur
der attributed to this orderly town. Yes
terday was a quiet day and the Sabbath
was very generally observed by divine ser
vices held in a large tent in Guthrie and
conducted by Dr. Hewitt of Wichita, and
Dr. Hill of Topeka.
Services were also held in east Guthrie
by Kev. McCaston.
SERVICES IX EAST GUTIITIE.
At 11 a, m in that part of the town
known as east Guthrie, Key. Robt. Mc
Castin. pastor of the Presbyterian church
ol Arkansas City, held service in the open
air and preached to about three hundred
people. Tne reverend gentleman iook ior
his text Isa. o7: 0: S jek ye the Lord while
He may be fuuud; call yo upon Him while
He is near."
The following is an outline of the ser
mon: The remarkable quiet and order
during the past few days was matter for
congratulation. Ho was prouder of Amer
ican people than ever before. It gave
great promise for the future of this city
and country that such a
lawabiding class of people had
come to take possession of this 'iand of
promise." ne attributed the remarkable
order and quiet which had prevailed to the
prevailence of the Christian sentiment and
the absence of strong drink. He urged
the importance of earnestness in religion,
it was necessary in every department in
order to success, and especially in the
service of Christ in a new country. He
hoped all who had ever been identified
with Christian churches would not hide
their light under a bushel, but would be
"living epistles known and read of all
men." This new city of Gnthrie shoiild be
made by the Christian people "a city set
on a hill," etc. Ho hoped they would bo
as much in earnest in their religion as
they are in their scramble for corner lots,
and that churches and school houses
would rise as fast as new business houses
appeared. The principles of Christianity
should be deeply imbeded in the very
foundation of this new city and country.
On this first Sabbath in Guthrie it was a
great delight to hear only an occasional
hammer on new buildings and so little
hawking or wares in the streets. He
hoiK'd that Sabbath observance would bea
distinguishing feature of this city. To
begin right would bo a great
victory for the future. The Lord
was nresent with them now in
the very beginning. The text had a spec
ial
pertency to the people of Guthrie just
v. "Seek ve the Lord while He may be
found." Reject Him now and He may
not be found at a time when you would
receive His blevdng. It would pay the
people of Guthrie even as to the mutual
interests of their city to seek the presence
and blessing of Christ. lhey cannot
afford to reject the Lord from any of the
interests, fcee to it that the principles of
righteousness are found in the law and
life of the city and people.
The reverend gentleman closed with a
special appeal to the unconverted, if such
were present. The text had special refer
ence to them. Let all such seek Christ at
once aud become Christians. There was
the greatest danger in delay. Thoy should
make choice at once. Seek Christ in His
truth and ordinances; seek Him by faith
and not attempt to do something impossi
ble, but take the free gift offerod in the
gospel.
IN GUTHRIE PROPER.
In Guthrie proper services were held by
the Rev. J. D. Hewitt, Presbyterian min
ister from "Wichita, and Rev. Edward Hill,
Methodist miuister from Topeka. These
services consisted of singing by the six
hundred people who gathered in the open
air, reading the scriptures the first
Psalm by Mr. Hewitt; prayer by Mr.
Hill, and a short sermon from Mr. Hill,
followed by one from Mr. Hewitt. In all
these services the most perfect order was
preserved. At the closo Mr. Hewitt called
upon all Christian men and women who
were present to hold up their hands. Not
less than five hundred of thq'-e present de
clared themselves to be Christians.
Mr. Hill took for his text Psalm 20:.").
"In the service of our Lord will we set up
our banners."
The preacher introduced his discourse
bv congratulating the people on the pre
sent outlook of the city; upon the good or
der maintained from the first, aud on the
manifest purpose of all to do right. He
urged them to a continuance of thoe
things and illustrated his subject by re
counting the history of Daniel, in his con
duct when all the princes and presidents
couspired against him. He came out all
right, although he was cast into the den
ot lions. Every one mnst have hi-, trials
and difficulties" but if, like Daniel, he
stands on his convictions, he will come
out right.
So with the three Hebrew children. They
were cat into the fiery furnace but one,
like the Son of God, wa'ks with them and
they came out without even the smell of
fire on their garments.
Mr. Hewitt spoke for a short time and
said: "I congratulate the citizens of
Guthrie on -what I have ?een and beard.
There is no doubt an era of prosperity
opening for this place. Very much of the
good order and quiet of the place is due
to the principles of troth, honesty and
purity which you brought with you when
you came here and much is due to your
Eurpose to start the city on the right
asis. I never heard or saw such an argu
ment for the prohibition of the liquor
traffic as has been presented since
I came here. 1 am told that
no disorder of any kind has
been witnessed here from the first hour
until now. Today everything is quiet and
orderly as in any city in Kansas. You are
to be congratulated on the fact that you
and Uncle Sam have had sense encngh to
keep whisky away. Applause There
wa once a boy who said that pins had
saved the lives of a ceat many people.
When his teacher asked how, he replied:
"By their not swallowing them." Let
this be applied to whisky in Ojclahorna.
Morality is a good thing for the City of
Guthrie, and morality, is good for the in
dividual citizen. Morality grows out of
Christianity as fruit crows on the tree.
Therefore. Christianity is a good thing for
this city, and Christianity is good for the
individual."
The speaker closed his remarks by urging
all present to cave intense and earnest heed
to personal religion.
In the afternoon a Y. M. C. A. meeting
was held with 150 present. The meeting
was led by Chas. E. Mails, of Arkansas
City, and many said it was one of the best
meetings they had ever attended.
There was an open air meeting in the
evening consisting of singing and short
addresses.
OT ALL LEAVING THZ PLACE.
The train coming in last night was load
ed down with people, many of them being
new arrivals here. While people may be
leaving, yet it is evident that there are
many coming in. Business appears good
and money plenty. The supply of food is
now equal to the demand, and in Guthrie
as good square meal can be obtained for 35
cents as in any western city. Water, too,
is plentiful, and the complaint that was so
bitter at first in this regard is now no
longer to be heard. There are Wichita
people here in abundance and they all give
favorable reports of their doings; some
have good lots, others are well established
in business, all appear very well satisfied.
COULDN'T STAND THE EXCITEMENT.
Earl this morning a man became in
sane in front of the postoffice. His cries
of "take me home, take me home," at
tracted quite a crowd of people around
him and he was taken to his tent by
friends.
At day break there was the same large
crowd before the door of the land office.
The first number was 430 and the last
number in the line at 9 o'clock was 1,005.
Before the postolfice there was another
long line of men.
Work goes bravely on upon the frame
buildings in the center of the town.
Lumber is arriving by train loads and the
tents' are going.
This morning there appeared a new
paper, the Guthrie Getups, published by
the Guthrie Publishing company.
It is a trio sheet and has some
bright spicy things to say of the town, its
people and the situation in general. The
Eagle here has a large sale; of the 1.500
brought here by the agent last night but
few were left this morning.
The Eagle is looked upon as reliable
and so the naper is read with interest.
THE TOWN LOT PROBLEM.
The situation regarding the town lot
problem .remains practically unchanged.
Everybody wants a settlement of the ques
tion for the town's own good, but every
body seems afraid to mako the
first step 'towards settlement for
then will come the trouble aud strife.
THE POLICE NOT ADMIRED.
About S o'clock a young man came up
near the land office and attempted to put
down a pile of lumber for a house. While
he was thus engaged one of the city police
attempted to arrest him. He had a long
struggle and at last failing to move the
man, who was much smaller than he was,
called upon the crowd for assistance.
They only laughed and cheered at his vain
efforts and instead of giving the officer as
sistance encouraged the man in his resis
tance. No one giving the officer any help,
he left, declaring that he would go for a
warrant. The crowd jeered and hissed
and praised the young man for his valiant
resistance. It is quite evident that ths
city police do not stand veryi high
in the estimation of the citizens
and that they are little heeded. "They
have no right to arrest anyone." "They
are but a "self constituted body with no
authority at all," "A man cau build all
over any street in the town as far as this
city government is concerned," "There
will have to be a contest case sometime
and why not now?" were some of the re
marks made by the crowd.
The authorities have appropriated one
acre beside the land office, and also a space
of forty feet to the north of this lor street.
This street will be the bsise lino of the sur
vey for future surveys.
Today is a chilly, unpleasant day, and a
drizzling rain is falilug, making it un
pleasant for the settlers in their incom
plete accommodations and shelter.
CAPTURED LIQUOR.
This afternoon at 3 o'clock the first cap
ture of intoxicants in the territory was
made by United States Deputy Marshal
Joe Severus. It consisted of a barrel of
whisky and was found in the store of Coil
& Carney, two men who were engaged in
selling it. F. D. Chevault, colored, and
John Paul, white, are now in charge of
Marshal Jones and will be taken to Wich
ita for trial and imprisonment. Ihree
empty beer barrels were also found.
Gamblers still continue to do a good
business. Most of the places, however,
were yesterday closed by the authorities
and kept under the strictest surviellance.
One man who has been running a "stud
poker" came said this morning that he
was making ?100 a day. While in the city
tent this morning a young man came to
take out license for running a table. The
officer in charge said that the amount
taxed by tiie municipality for such pur
poses was $10 a day. As long as the suck
ers continue to exist so long will the
manipulators of the shell game, three card
moute and such games continue to thrive.
DIED UPON THE PRAIRIE.
Last evening Tim Authvan, a well
known boomer, came into Alfred and said
that twelve miles northwest of that place
he had found the body of a boy about
19 year of age dead upon the prairie. He
had just dispatched a party of four men to
get the remains and bring them to Alfred.
He did not know who the deceased was,
but said that he had evidently been killed
while holding down n claim. Ha also said
that he met a parry looking for Dr. Hol
land, of Gueda Springs, who, they said,
was missing.
Mr. Tanner, secretary of the Y. M. C. A.,
was in Guthrie yesterday. He said that he
had gotten a short leave of absence to go
among the Cherokee, and also to accom

The Presidential Party Arrives at Trenton
About the Break of Day-
Trenton", N. J., April 29 The first
gray streaks of dawn wero visible as tho
presidential train drew to a stop at west
Philadelphia where a change of engines
was made. The rain, which it was hoped
had been left behind, was present making
the opening of the day misty and disagree
able as few drops had been noticed before
the train left Washington but the hope
had been indulged in that it was only a
passing April shower and that its presence
was only temporary. Shortly after leaving
Washington at 1 a. in., the train became
the abode of sleep, every one fol
lowing the example of President Harri
son who did not wait till the cars rolled
out of th station before seeking rnoe.
The only excuse anyone hud for retiring
immedi.itelv was the fact that in he for
ward part o'f the train, devoted to the tines
of the newspaper men, a luncheon had I
been spread by tho officials of the road, I
which was enjoyed until Baltimore wts
r('Theetimeof tho train was more moid'
than the official schedule called for, and '
so it was that no stop of consequence or i
note was made until West Philadelphia j
was reached. This was at 4.1.',, when the

Oa the run to Elizabeth there vr so

of crowds at the several stations to look at
the train as it moved along may be so
considered.
There was a decided break in the ar
rangements at Elizabeth as previously un
derstood, and the change caused much
commotion. The tram as it rolled
into the city was greeted by a presi
dential saluta bv a battey of local
artillery men, while on the other side
of the road was drawn up a corps of con
tinental cadets in their teens, wbooe ap
pearance occasioned many favorable com

Harrison and party with their guest,
made their toilets and received the gov

had cathered, surrounding the carriages
that were there to convey Governor Green
