A joint committee of arrange ments was appointed, consisting of Capt Channon, Sergeant McDonald and Drum Major Stoddard, of Kock .Island, and Capt. Khtilsen and Sergeant Crowder, of Moline. The leading features will be military exercises, base ball, etc., and the Gales burg, Cambridge, Monmouth and Ster ling companies will be invited.

A Burglar Caught. Last night, about 12 o'clock, a young couple from Andalusia were rowing tut the river from the Buffalo side when they saw a light dodging about in the store of John H. Brookman in An dalusia. The young man soon made up his mind that there was some one in the store who had no right to be there. He accordingly hastily informed City Mar shal Poley Richards, who drafted two other men into his service, surrounded the store and took the burglar prisoner. He proved to be Chsrles Francis, a stranger, whose outfit consisted of a satchel containing a screw driver, cold chisel, a saw and a knife. He is about forty years of age, and has reddish hair. He was placed in the calaboose until this morning, when be was taken before Jus tice R. . Rjed in Andalusia, who or dered his commitment to the county jail. He was bornght up this morning and committed to Sheriff Silris' care. So Charge. The Arous makes no charges to the Union for the use of its cut of the First M. E. church, nor would it have hesi tated in permitting the morning contem porary to use the aforesaid cut had it sought it in an open and above board manner. The Argus does not object to the Lnion'i profiting by its enterprise, but it does deprecate the questionable manner in which the morning sheet seeks to obtain such benefits. The cut which the Union published Sunday morning was made by Mr. Scburemann for the A rocs, and was the property of the Arous, Mr. Schnremann having the privilege of using it when be pleased. The Union obtained the cut in an indi rect, and to the Arous, very surprising manner, and while it confesses the! Union played a sharp game, it could have had the cut by simply sending for it or asking for its use. We like to be accommodating, but don't like to be im posed upon. Theatrical Entertainment. Tomorrow night Oilletts company will present the dramatized version of Hag gard's famous "She" at Harper's theatre. The New York Mirror says of the great production: It is seldom that we have the pleasure of seeing such a good performance as that given at the "Star" theatre this week. Mr. Gillette has surpassed him self in bis dramatization of Haggard's prevarication. "She" is a performance really worth seeing.

Guthrie, I.T., April 3a. The gates of Ok lahoma were swung open at tioon yesterday, and resistless torrents of humanity began to pour over its soil From the Cherokee strip came the great fleet of prairie schooners across the Canadian; from I he Chickasaw na ti(Jn came troop after troop of sturdy ponies, each one carrying a boomer; from the Ara' paboe and Cheyenne reservations on the west, came a yelling mob of horsemen, who fired volley after volley to celebrate their final victory. The Kiowa of the southwest, and the Cherokee and Creek nations on the east, also furnished their contingent of boomers. The Welkin Kaiitf With Choer. At the starting signal they moved all to gether, great waves of cheering breaking upon tlie air. The wagons continued on over the level green plain until they were about half way across the northern tier of claims, and then upward of a hundred of them were brought to a standstill. The others rolled on to the lower tiers. Mon, women and chil dren poured from the stationary schooners, and in an incredibly short time the founda tions for the pioneer homes of Oklahoma had been laid by wilting hands.

So it is all over the territory, and ef tcially on the sections adjoining Guth rie and Oklahoma City. . . Ten or Thousand hy Rail. Between 20,000 and tfO.lMl people were dumped here yesterday by the Santa Ke road, which ran twenty immense trains from Ar kansas City. The trains roVou across the Cherokee strip cautiously and slowly, and arrived here scarcely more than five minutes apart As they approached the land of promise thousands of heads protruded from the windows, and curious eyes feasted on the green panorama that lay before them. There was much fighting to get out of the cars when the little building w liich answers for a station was reached. Jfolioly was hurt, however, and the coaches were soon emptied. Iaxd by the Proxpect. It was a curious sight to watch the boom Bra after they bad got fairly on foot The majority of them seemed t lie duzed by the astness of their surroundings. Many of them gazed stupidly to the north, southeast and west, and then moved ahead like men who were lost Others started for the hills, and still others beut themselves to the task of raising tents which they brought with them, to open various kinds of business. Those who went for the hills were after claims. Just how well their explorations succeeded ia not known, for very fow of them have re turned. It ia safe to aay that last night every farm in the territory was in possession of one or more claimants, and that tiesides there are from twenty to thirty thousand more wandering aimlessly in search of laud. - Beaioglug the Land Officii. The rush at the land office here is terrific. The building is surrounded by a mob of howl ing men, which is being constantly augment ed by horsemen who are galloping in from every quarter. Land Agent Dilley and his force of assistants are unable to give atten tion to a hundredth part of the busiuess that is being forced upon them. The detachment of troopers which has been detailed around the building with a view to keeping the mob in an orderly line, is completely worn out. A Oreat Rush Everywhere. A di-patch from Oklahoma City states that the rush there is even greater than here. Over at Kingfisher or Lisbon, where the crowds brought in on the Rock Island are gatheri ng, there has been no trouble as yet THE BREAK AT PURCELL. A Metropoll Sunday, a Hamlet Now Tha Race Over the Line. Pubckll, L T., April 23. A great change has come over this town. Sunday it was a metropolis. Now it is a hamlet in point of population. The metamorphosis was effected at 18 o'clock yesterday, when several thou sand men, women and children crossed the Canadian river and entered upon a wild struggle for homes in the promised land. The scenes connected with this hegira will never be effaced from the memory of those who witnessed them. The sun was not up sooner than the average boomer yesterday morning. Probably not half the people slept at all during the night Gasoline lamps flared from sundown to sunrise in the two business streets and the ghostly form of prairie schooners could be seen moving toward the ford a mile north of town. Day break found scores of men in the saddle, and within an hour the town was as lively as it has been since the boom began. A steady stream of wagons poured from tha broken country west and north to the main ford, and when this became blocked hundreds of them were turned to the' right, facing the river at every point where fording seemed at all practicable. "All Aboard for Oklahoma." When the first train of eight coaches rolled into the station from the south every boomer who bad planned to invade Okla homa by railroad was on hand. A howl of rage went np as the train sped on with train men on every platform to prevent any one from getting aboard. This train ran a little below the town and halted until the hour set for its departure into the territory. Soon afterward a special train of twelve coaches appeared, and inside of five minutes it was crowded with over 1,000 people. It ran down the switch and stopped until 11:4a The overflow was so great that another train of equal size was brought up, and this also was crowded to the platform in an incredi bly short time. As the train lay on the siding each car was a theater. It sue mod as if every man had a plan whereby he could leave the train after it had passed into Oklahoma, and stealthy glanoes at the bell rope showedtbat the engin eer's gong would sound about the time the train was over the bridge below town. A Moment of Intense Excitement. At the supreme moment drew near the ex citement increased. Every person who had not arranged to crops had secured an ad vantageous position on a housetop or the great bluff 1 just north of the town and was feverishly awaiting the rash. Not a few fleld-glasse were brought into requisition. Oklahoma is visible for miles from any ele ration in Pureed, and seems a succession of beautiful valleys, with well timbered ridges between. The Signal to Start Gliea. At )1:40 o'clock the conductor of the long special train on the siding gave the signal. The engines whistled shrilly and the special began its trip Oklahoma ward. It seemed as if every man on the train shouted when the train moved, and a moment later the sound of pistol shote told only too plainly that the Texans were firing their salute. Gathering peed the train soon came opposite the ford, nri thAn a furiniiii tttmilittAa Wt rtlrA mitL Tt was continued until the train dashed around" the baud preparatory to crossing the bridge. The sticceding twenty minutes were the longest of the day to those on the banks of the river. - Lieut. Adair could be seen calmly sitting on his horse in mid-stream, watch in hand, and all eyes were centered on him. Suddenly be waa seen to motion to the soldiers near him, and the next moment the cheerful strains of the recall were sounded. Heltt-r Skelter Over the Line. In an inttant the scene cbangedTliere was a mighty shout and the adptfnce guard of the inva ling army racedfke mad across the sands -oward the narrow expanse of water. The north and south winds seemed to strike the water together. In they went, belter skeltes.'every rider intent on reaching the banjr'ft-st. There a taort diapoeared purdeep liole, and bis rider fell headlong t of the stiddle. Before be could arise he was annare itlv crushed hv annt.lioi- .nim.i mf j ua auaima which had st umbled and fallen. The crowd on shore gave cry of horror, which speedily changed to one of joy, for neither man was hurt. They struggled to their feet and as the horses bi-oke away and joined the flying host their owners surged after them with the water to their waists. By this time the swiftest ones were over and speeding up the slope of the nearest ridge. The bead of line of wagons just then emerged from the river bed. At this rate it would not te ten minutes before all were across. Thf racers took different directions, but most of the wagons went northwest New Way of (letting the Drop. A dispatch from Oklahoma City says that at 12 o'clock men seemed to rise out of the ground then, and in an incredibly short time a town site was staked off and lots were placed on the market- These men dropped from Sunday night's train when it slowed up for the station.

Massachusetts voted yesterday tn a prohibition constitutional amendment prohibiting the manufacture and sale of intoxicating liquors in this state. The amendra ant was as follows! "The manu facture and "ale of intoxicating liquors to be used as a beverage are prohibited. The gen eral court shall enact suitable legislation to enforce the provisions of this article." Indication) pointed to the rejection of the amendment, but the defeatof the same was accomplishes by a larger majority than even its opponent anticipated. The friends ot the amendment are greatly depressed and have but little to say. The vote, as coin pared with last year's vote on license, is as follows: To al in the 12 congressional dis tricts iu 1889 for prohibition, 8S,:2; against prohibition, 132,944.

Lebanon, O., Apail 23. A terrible double murder was committed at 8:30 o'clock Sun day night in a little one-story cottage that stands next to the railroad on the west side of East street. Frank Linn, a single man, killed Mrs. Frances Noah and then himself. Mrs. Noah wits shot twice, both times in the breast She t ell in the arms of ber brother and expired without uttering a word. Linn shot himself just above the right ear and fell over dea l in i he kituhen, while his victim lay in a pool of blood in the front room. Mrs. Noah's busba id. Will Noah, a carpenter, has been absent f -om home for several weeks, and she has lieen seen several times with Linn.

The Loudon Specta tor in a cam, tic editorial lashes American diplomacy. It. says: "We wonder if the American pe pie are aware of the extent of the influence they lose by the carelessness practiced at Washington anent the courteous usages of diplomacy. The Americans are becoming the most powerful people of the world, and might, with judicial impartiality, exercise a dominant influence on interna tional opinior."

As was an ticipated the street car company yesterday morning started the West Seventh and Fifth street line with a full complement of men. Cars were run regularly every ten minutes, and were carrying passengers as if there had never benn uny hitch in the running of that, as well us other lines. Along the route there was a notable absence of the crowds which have for two days lined the principal points which are passed by that line of cars. At each corner along the way mounted po lice were stationed, and they rode up and down for several blocks, keeping an eye open to see that no overt act was attempted. Illinois Legislature.

MUEEELI Half of the Castaway Arrive Safely at - Philadelphia and Are Forwarded to Their New Homes The Time of Peril Until the Longed -for Sail Was Sighted Scene at the Dock When the , Gallant Steamer Arrived Friends and Relatives Reunited. Philadelphia, April 23. Hundreds of voices blended in a great shout, and cheer after cheer rent the air as the steamer Mis souri, with her precious cargo which she bad so gallantly rescued from the ill-fated Dan mark, arrived safely at her dock, at Wash ington street wharf, at half-past five o'clock yesterday afternoon. The passengers on board the Missouri returned the greeting with, no less enthusiasm. Handkerchiefs fluttered in the stiff breeze, happy smiles lit up the faces of the more than three hundred emigrants who bad been so providentially rescued from a watery grave, and in every way the scene was one that indelibly fixed itself upon the minds of those who witnessed it A Joyful Reception. On the wharf were not a few men and women who were there to meet relatives and friends, after having resigned all hope several days ago of ever seeing them again. Fathers were there to meet - mothers; children had traveled hundreds of miles to greet their parents, and friends stood on the wharf and gazed with glistening eyes toward the long line of men, women and children who stood along the port side of the big vessel as she iteamed slowly up to the end of the wharf. Ferry-boats and tugs which were passing added to the enthusiasm with their steam sa lutes. Cheers and cries of joy continued without much interruption until the Missouri had been swung around and made her moor ing at the wharf. Tributes to the Ciallant Captain. Then a ladder .was thrown off and the cus tom bouse officers, followed cloeoly by the press representatives, made their way up the side of the vessel and alighted on her decks. Brave Capt Murrell, who stood on the bridge of the steamer, surrounded by C. W. Davis and other representatives of Peter Wright & Sons, was the cynosure of all eyes. He was at once surrounded by the reporters and bis many friends, all bent on paying a tribute to his gallant service in saving so m any lives. The passengers united in praising the noble work of Capt. Murrell and his brave crew. STORY OF THE DISASTER. A Great Veel with Hundreds of Passen ger Helples In Mid-Ocean. Dr. Jesperson, one of the passengers taken from the Daumark, who was on bis way to New York, spoke in the highest praise of Captain Murrell's action in the behalf of himself and his fellow passengers. In relat ing bis experience to a reporter of the United Press, Dr. Jesperson stated that he never had seen lief ore such clear-headed work under the trying circumstances. "It is Captain Mur rell's jierfect self-control, " said the doctor, "to which we are in a great measure indebted for our lives at tbe present time." A Thrilling Kxperlenne. "But our experience for a time was cer tainly most thrilling, and one which I hope never to have to pass through again. Up to the 4th inst our trip on tbe Daumark had been a pleasant one. On the latter date, however, we encountered a severe storm. We would have wea there 1 it all right, I suppose, had our engines bold out, but tbe shaft broke near tbe aft end of A section. As a result a hole was cut through the bottom of tbe ves sel. It appears that simultaneously with the breaking of tbe shaft an engine pipe burst, and Engineer Koas was instantly killed. An other leak was caused by the bursting f the pipe, in the side of the vessel. Thus mat ters grew very serious and our vessel was left at the mercy of the waves. Capt Knud sen endeavored to keep her in the path of ocean steamers. We sought vainly that day for the sight of a sail, but night fell and we still remained in our perilous portion. Help In Time of Need. "The dawning of the following day the 5th however, was designed to bring us re lief. A sail was sighted by the outlooks and we at once put up signals of distress. The sails proved to be those of the Missouri. When in speaking distance Capt Knudsen asked if the Missouri could take our passen gers on board. The commands of the latter steamer said that would lie impossible, as he had nowhere to put thorn. He promptly agreed to take us in tow. We got along well enough for a few hours, when it waa dis covered that the water was fast pouring into the steamer through the big bole in her stern. The pumps were kept going without intermission, but they proved almost useless as far as saving the vessel was concerned. We kept at it, however, until the fith, and then it was seen we could no longer hope to save our ship. As noon approached the danger grew more imminent The Sinking-Ship Abandoned. Capt Knudsen boarded the Missouri and asked that bis passengers be received on her decks. At 2 o'clock the work of transferring the hundreds of souls from tbe Dan mark to the Missouri was begun. First the women and children were taken, aboard the latter boat, then the men, and lastly Capt Knud sen and his crew. You may imagine that during this time the excitement was intense, but any semblance of a panic was averted by the coolness of both Capts. Murrell and Knudsen, and the prompt manner in which the crews obeyed their evtry order. After six hours' work, at 8 o'clock on the night of the fith, all the passengers of the Daumark had been safely landed on the Missouri Of course a large part of the latter steamer's cargo bad to be jettisoned before accommo dations could be found for the 721 souls. Many of these had to abandon their valuable effects, as the amount of goods which each passenger was allowed to retain was necessa rily limited to what was absolutely indispens able. Steering for the Aaores. "The Missouri was then beaded for the Azores, the nearest land, where we arrived withoutany further incident, on the 10th. There all the young, unmarried men, to the number of 850, and including Captain Knud son and the largest part of his crew, were landed On the 11th we again set sail after having laid in a stock of provisions, w added to those we took from tbe Damn ark before deserting her proved amply sufficient Captain Murrell deserves) the highest praise for tbe manner in which he has treated us during the entire passage. He gave us all the best accommodations possible, and did all in bis power to make tbe trip a pleasant one; and so it has been, after our perilous experi ence and fortunate escape." A FLORAL GIFT TO CAPT. MURfieX.& The Hero of the Hour Cheered and Lion ised A Little Stranger. Shortly after the vessel had made fast to the wharf a beautiful floral design repre senting a ship at sea was carried up the gangway and handed over to Capt Murrell, with a few appropriate remarks. The captain waa taken completely by surprise, but in a clear, distinct voice, made a few fitting re marks in accepting the tribute to bis brav ery. "I thank you," he said, "for the officers and crew of my vessel for this gift, since I know it is not intended alone for me. It has been said there are no more British sailors, but since this latest experience, I am con vinced he still Uvea. I am very glad that I have been able to do even this much for these poor people: any one would have done tha samthing. All that I can aay is that I would do it again, should it become neces sary." . Loud cheers greeted tha captain's speech, and as he concluded be madehis way through the admiring throng and carried the TUESDAY APKIL 23, IKJ9. floral ship to his private cabiu. This beauti ful tribute was presented to the captain by several people prominent In shipping cir cles. Interesting Event Aboard Ship. Capt Murrell left his ship early in the evening and accompanied his friend, Mr. C W. Davis, to the latter' home at Riverton, N. J. Tbe captain is a good-natured man, but extremely modest He insists that in rescuing the passengers of the tannk be only did his duty. He stated to a United Press reporter that he is particularly glad that there was but one case of sickness on board during the trip after taking on tbe Denmark's passengers. Everybody enjoyed the best of health save a 6-montb's old babe. During tbe passage a woman by the name of Linney gave birth to a child. Tbe infant was christened "Atlanta Missouri." Vood-Bye to the Rescued. There was an affecting scene when Capt Murrell bade a last good-bye to th.ise whose lives be had saved. He clasped the hand of each of them, and many were 60 filled with emotion that they were unable to express their thankfulness. Capt Murrell is young in years but old in nautical experience. Be fore he took command of tbe Missouri, when she was built about two years ago, he was in charge of the Maine. Previously be had com manded the Surrey and the Michigan in the order named. All these vessels belong to the Thingvalla line. A reception was tendered Capt Murrell at the maritime exchange at noon to-day, and to-nignt be will be present at the annual dinner of St. George's society. Forwarded to Their Destination. The rescued people were given a sulwtan tial lunch on the wharf, where a table 2tK) feet long had been erected and loaded with good things, and those going west, who were by far the most numerous, were later put on trains and started for their new homes.

The Fimt Comptroller of the Currency Steps Out Rather Suddenly. Washington City, April Zl. The resig nation of Judge Durham, first comptroller of tbe treasury, was accepted by Secretary Windom Saturday to take effect at once. Judge Durham will return to his home in Kentucky. . There are various explanations offered for this hasty act on the part of the secretary. Secretary Windom said that he had accepted Durham's resignation in the or dinary course of business, not because of any fault with the latter's conduct, but because of several newspaper articles reflecting upon the administration, which are said to have been inspired by the first conyjtroller. These attributed sentiments to the first comptroller which, if true, must have made it - unpleas ant for him to continue in office under exist ing circumstances. A Row With the Attorney OeneraL On the other hand it is said that the im mediate cause of the change is was a per sonal misunderstanding between Attorney General Miller and First Comptroller Dur ham in regard to the accounts of John I. Davenport, as supervisor of elections in New York. The latter recently presented vouch ers aggregating 3,300 for "extraordinary ex penses" incurred during the last presidential election. Xbese were being examined by the first comptroller, and be signified his inten tion of disallowing tbem. He had several conferences with the attorney general on the subject, which resulted in an 0en rupture between the two officials, so' much so that the first comptroller on Friday lust ignored two requests from 'the attorney general to call at his office. The Davenport accounts were then taken out of his hands and turned over to the attorney general, where they now are. VERY LIVELY FORA DEAD MAN.. Curious Misconception Developed at the Armes Court-Martial. Washington Citv, April 23 The Post says : During the progress of the A rmes trial an estimable gentleman has been killed and buried without his knowledge or consent.

Ames was dead said immediately, 'appoint him.'" In the next sentence Governoi Beaver said that it was Gen. Adelbert Ames whom he meant. Since that . time Gen. Adeliiert Ames has lieen, for the purposes of this trial, consid ered a dead general. An Obituary Not In Order. In some inexplicable way it has also come to be the generally accepted belief that he has ben dead fifteen years. Nobody knows who fixed the date of his death, but it was fixed. Gen. Adelbert Ames, the . same man to whom Governor Beaver referred, is now living at Lowell, Mass., and if a good, firm band-writing is taken as an indicatiou of his strength, is in reasonably good health. Gen. Ames married Blanch Butler, the beautiful daughier of Gen. B. F. Butler. Their son, Butler Ames, was appointed a cadet at West Point Inst January and the letter of accept ance is signed by the toy's father, Adelbert Ames. CHILDREN AT THE WHITE HOUSE.

AN OFFICE CAUSES THE TROUBLE The Pennsylvania Senator Thinks the Buckeye People Did Not Tote Fair Sherman, Bntterworth and McKlnley Disavow Any Sharp Practice Comp troller Durham and Attorney General Miller Have a Falling Out. Washington City, April 21 There is a coolness between Senator Quay, of Pennsyl vania, and the Ohio delegation, and tbe pub lication of an interview with the Keystone statesman has lower the temperature some what. The interview was in regard to the distribution of patronage in Ohio iu general, and particularly as tolhe appointment of Mr. Hart, of that stat as solicitor of internal revenue. Senator Quay claims that the Ohio people, represente 1 by Butter worth and Mc Kinley, solemnly promised to keep their hands off that place, leaving it to Pennsyl vania, Ohio to have the deputy commis sioner of internal revenue. Quay wanted the solicitor-ship for Ju lge Gilkinson, of Penn sylvania, and accuses Sherman of dishonora ble conduct in helping to secure the place for Hart. Senator Quay's Remark. "It is all straight goods," Senator Quay said to the reporter. "There will be very few Sherman votes in Pennsylvania after this. This exhibition of the Ohio idea is too much for me. There was a definite under standing that this position was to be left clear for Mr. Gilkinson, but the Ohio people accepted the place for Hart I believe that Butterworth claims to have forgotten the agreement. If I bad been in tl eir place Hart would have been told to withdraw. I don't know what they propose to do, or how they propose to explain this. I only know the agreement has been broken." Sherman is Conciliatory. Senator Sherman was seen regarding the matter, and said he knew nothiug of any compact being broken. He understood that the appointment of Mr. Hart had been made at the request of Butterworth and McKinley when lie, (Sherman) was away from Washing ton, aud he knew nothing about it until his return. He failed to see why Mr. Quay should make an attack on him. "If the Sen ator felt aggrieved," said j.lr. Sherman, "he might have come to tne and we might have settled the matter without any dissension or difficulty. I have always regardeiHSenator Quay as a personal friend, and I am still his friend. I would lie the last man in the world to say one word which would be calculated to hurt Mr. Quay's feelings." Did the Halstead Vote Io It Messrs. Me Kin ley and Butterworth when seen resented . the idea that they had be trayed anybody's confidence, 'or that they have done anything which could rightfully subject them to criticism There is a strong suspicion abroad that when Kcuator Quay voted against confirming Murat Halstead all lrgains were declared off by the Ohio men.
