At Orlnndo yesterday the sun beat down with Indomitable fury on the heads of fully 18,000 hoincscekers, and the scarcity of water and tho immense clouds of dust that filled the air made life unbearable to the niott of them. Tho crowds increase every moment and last night thousands of men were in line. Timo is precious and the lines ai'o as solid as a stone walls, the men citing nnd sleeping in their places. Registration progressed slowly yester day and tho "sales of plnses" were great, Mauds near the booths com manding from $-." i-j 810. ' Orcat suffering is experienced along 'the lines at all tho border booths, at many places dozens of delicate women nnd scores of men wore carried out, entirely prostrated with tho heat, dust liud exhaustion. There seems to be a great scarcity oi water at Arkansas City. Parties vwio ciiiiio in from that place last enlng say that water is being taken from the city in tanks and is rotnillng at twenty-five cents per canteen or ten cents per cup full. Along tho hedges tents have boen set up whore beer, pics nnd sandwiches are being sold. At nil places confidence men are plying their vocations wltl tremen dous zonl. Shell and three card nionte games are being plied up nnd down the line, and llsh nre biting with nvidity. At Orlando n police forco has been formed to look after the thieves, who uro plentiful. A Kansas City man was last evening robbed of his watch and SiOO, leaving him broke. Others have been buncoed out of their money. There arc ti large number of women ready to make tho run on the 10th. llicyelo riders uro plenty. Among the crowd are men. as old ns Methuselah. Yet they think that they will make a winning race.

'Icforo going far j they woro halted by soldiers, who, in familiar tonns addressed them with the salutation: "Hollo there; you aro soonors." A short consultation took plnce between tho soldiers and soonors when tho latter proceeded on their way, presumably to ptck out choice claims-. Whether this rumor Is true or not Is unknown and is given for what it is worth. Tho fact remains nevertheless, that therefore many soonors In tho strip, Mid'jS should be the duty of the sol diers to run them out.

Hundreds of people from this city took tho early morning trniu to Or lando, nnd tho habit of forming lines in this country has becomo so fixed that the crowds naturally fell into penitentiary columns to tho ticket window at the depot. Luggage of every description uuder the sun was loaded on the out-going trains and hauled to Orlando.

It is openly said that the soldiers aro in sympathy with the s.ioners and while they will eject any that they may como across, thoy will not hunt for thorn. An organization is bcintr formed by tho boomers, who nro em ploying men who liavo exhausted their rights to tako public land, to go in nnd mix with the soonors and secure evidence aguinst them by belli"- able to Identify them if they attempt to file.

Captain I'osey of Kingfishor, was in tho city yesterday. Tho Captain has the latest scheme or invention by which n person may rc.ch tho town sites first. It consists of splicing two Vicycles together in such a manner us to virtually form n pair of railroad trucks, with finnges and everything complete to make them keep tho track Tho invention would accommodate two persons and is supposed to make tho run nt the rate of one milu per minute. When the Cherokeo outlet is ndded, Oklahoma will have a territory of about i.'O.ono square mites. Tho terri tory of the five Stations is, in round numbers, .ll.OiK) square miles.
