How to divide 10,000homesteads among 600,000 is a question that is going to bother both settlers and officers, and will cause some bloodshed before the excite­ ment is over. Already about sixteen deaths have resulted from the boorii, and this is but the beginning. The natives of Samoa proved themselves men of kindness and gener­ osity during the terrible disaster there. In spite of the cruelty with which they had been treated by the Germans, they rushed to the rescue and. many lost their own lives in the effort to save those of their foes. They are a fine race and should be recognised in some'way at the oonferepce soon to be held in Berlin to settle the Samoan question. The guar­ antee of the independence of their islands * Would be no more than they deserve. I©* An exchange says that the Chicago Burlington & Quincy railway has issued this circular to conductors, engineers, firemen arid yardmasters: fin order to I secure greater safety of life and limb to | the traveling public and its own employes the company will on and alter May 1, 1889, require that every employe named above shall carry a watch of a certain Standard of excellence, and shall have his j Watch examined weekly by the company examiner. A general inspection of | watches will be made every ninety days, when certificates will be issued by the | Company to the employes. Oklahoma's Opening. The special feact wf land in Indian Ter­ ritory known as Oklahoma, to which set­ tlers are given access by the recent pro­ clamation of the President, is situated ih the very centre of the Territory aud com­ prises less than one-tenth of its area, be­ ing somewhat.larger than the State of Delaware. If the applicants for admis­ sion as settlers were to be accommodated with 160 acres each under the home- stead laws it would furnish farms for only about 12,000 settlers. The number of people seeking homes in the Territory far exceeds this, but a great part of those homeseekers are looking for other op­ portunities. Cities and towns are needed to be built forthwith. Railroads must be constructed. Lawyers, physicians, ed­ itors, mechanics,' and laborers of all kinds are required for the development of the new country, so' that the 50,000 men seeking homes in the .limited terri­ tory may after all find plenty to do and on remunerative terms. It is probable that in time the areq, may be extended so as to include the great stretch of country known as "No Man's Land," which contains more than three and a half millions of acres. Be­ sides these there are nearly twenty mil­ lions of acres of land in Indian Territory, whose apparently inevitable destiny seems to be to pass from the control of the possession of the aggressive forces of civ­ ilization! ' It can scarcely be otherwise, however, than that there should i»e more or less disappointment and distress atriongst the intending Oklahoma settlers before they will have begun to realize from their labor and outlay in getting a hold upon the land and placing it under cultivation, and men with dependent families contem­ plating moving to the scene, of the' pres­ ent excitement will do well to make ade­ quate preparations for the delay and expense attending the undertaking before breaking up their present associations to enter upon a promising but hazardous journey. . JSF A locomotive of American manu­ facture hauled the Buffalo day express the entire distance from Jersey City to Buffalo, 423 tniles, on April 1. This is the greatest run ever made by one en­ gine. A special Pullman car containing several representatives of the New York press, invited by the Erie Railway and . Locomotive company to witness this per tonnance, was attached to the train at ' Jersey City and brought through to Buf- falo. The train left Jersey City at 9:25 Ai M. and arrived at Buffalo exactly at 10:80 P. u. A speed of .over a mjle a minute was attained on several occa­ sions. The Detroit .Veins says: "The stories that have come from Oklahoma the past, week emphasize the fact that Uncle Sam is no longer 'rich enough to give us all a farm.' The free land is all gone^ It belongs to railroad corpora­ tions and bonanza farmers." Possibly the JVew'.s is innocent enough to believe this. Under the rules which the author ities will enforce, neither "bonanza far­ mers" nor "railroad corporations" will have auy show in Oklahoma. The sim­ ple trouble was that ten times as many rushed into the Territory as could be accommodated with land. They /were warned from every quarter, but they paid no attention, and they are paying the penalty. v ; 1ST Prof. E. Stone Wiggins, the Weather prophet, is again heard from. We are to have a long drought, and he lays it all to the telephone aqfl tele­ graph companies, whose wires and electricity are stealing the thunder, and paralyzing thunder stprtde. He claims further) that the webs of electric wires not only burst the thunder clouds, but they produeejcyclones. As instances he cites Ohio, 'Pennsylvania and other states which were free from drought and cyclones before they were covered with these electric wires, but which have re­ cently suffered badly. We could stand all of this, but the sage gentleman says that it is killing off ttte northern lights. •That settles it. We can not lose the northern lights. The electric wires must go--underground. fifc ( 'The funeral of the Hon. E. M. Haines, at Waukegan on Sunday last, Was one of the largest ever held in Lake county. The Masonic fraternity, of which lie was an honored member/took charge of the funeral, headed by Grand Master •43ftn. John C. Smith, and besides the Wau­ kegan Lodge brethren were present from Chicago, Woodstock, McHenry and other parts of the District. The Order of Red Men, of which he was also a member, Were represented by a large delegation, •ttdat the cemetery carried out their *87 beautiful and appropriate burial ceremonies. A delegation of members of the State Legislature were also present to pay their last respects to one who had been a member of that body for so many years. Thus was laid at rest all that re­ mained of one who has borne so prom­ inent a part in the history of this State fpr the past fifty years. Peace to his aehes. m- » ' would seem as if the British fisher- men, who have been prohibited from en­ tering the American waters of Behring Sea for the purpose of catching seals, in­ tend to treat the proclamation of the iJnited States Government with con­ tempt. Prom Victoria, B. C., we are in formed that "the sealing schooners I v starting out on their cruise will be •rmed and will not, tamely submit, as ?>• t>efore, to piratical attacks of American 1 , •. Gutters. Jt is said that a British war 111 Vessel has been ordered to that quarter it *• In order to protect those foreign sealers, fc and that resistance of the most deter' mined kind will be offered to any at- tempts to assert American supremacy in iMiring Sea. We can hardly believe all this. John Bull may growl a little but » > lie will not dare to support armed resis- ' tance to the authority of the United pĵ fctates in American waters, under present (circumstances at least. The President's ^Proclamation most be obeyed and those who seek to set it at defiance must take the consequences. , (From the Waukegan Oazetle.) Death of Hon. Elijah Iff. Haines. On Thursday morning our citizens were shocked at the announcement of the death of Hon. Elijah M. Haines. Such an announcement a few weeks before would have been i\o surprise, as his life was then despaired of, but latterly he has been im­ proving and it was hoped that he would recover. The day before his death he was out in the yard. He retired fairly early in the evening, and slept soundly until about 2 o'clock in the morning, when Jie awakened and complained of being cold. At 3 o'clock he again awakened, and when the watcher reached "him he gasped, "I'm sick," and fell back unconscious Dr. Keith was called at once, and it was found that he had suffered a stroke of paralysis. He never spoke or showed any signs of consciousness afterward, and died quietly at 5 o'clock. Mr. Haines was one of the wonderful men that the new West produced. He was bora in New York in April. 1822, lost his father when he was 6 years old, and came west to Lockport in 1835, and removed to this county in 1836, and has resided in Lake county ever since. He first set tied in Avon, and was the founder of Hainesville, and lived there until 1851, when he removed to this city. Upon first coming to Lake county he worked on a farm. His early education was such as he could get in the few months' schooling his work on the New York farm would al­ low, there being no schools in Lake county at the time he arrived here. But he appreciated the value of an education and got some books and went to work for himself. Besides mastering the common branches, he learned Latin and German, and advanced so far in the study of sur­ veying as to be able to practice the pro fession, assisting in making the original survey of Lake county. Meanwhile he got the necessary books and studied law, and was admitted to the bar in 1851, the year he removed to this city. _ He' prac­ ticed here until 1800, when he opened an office in Chicago, retaining his residence here. In 1855 he prepared a compilation of the laws of Illinois relating to township organization, containing notes of de­ cision and forms of proceeding in various cases. He also prepared like compila­ tions for the States of Michigan, Missouri Wisconsin and Minnesota. In 1855 he also produced a "Treatise on the Powers and Duties of Justices of the Peace in Illi nois." In 1856 lie produced Ilaines' Par liamentary law. His great work on the American Indian "was published in Sep tember of last year. Mr. Haines was also editor of the Legal Adviser and of the Misk-wi-nen-ni, the organ of the Improved Order of Red Men, of which he was a prominent member. He was the best posted man on Indian subjects in the country, with many of its traits in his own character, he made the study of the Indian race his grand pas­ sion, and was master of all its dialects and traditions. He also projected a com­ prehensive history of Illinois, which he had about half completed. Originally he acted with the Democratic party, but seeing the effect of its pro- slavery policy he joined in the movement for organizing the Republican party. In 1859 he was elected to the legislature from Lake county, and was re-elected in 1861 and 1863v In 1867 he began to agitate the anti-monopoly question, and in 1869 was elected to the Constitutional convention as an independent in spite of the usual Republican majority of about 1,500. In 1871 he was again elected to the Legislature, and again in 1874 as an in dependent, from the district composed of Lake and McHenry counties, and was elected Speaker at the session of 1875 as the fusion candidate of the Democrats and Greenbackers. . He was re-elected in 1882 and 1884, serving as Speaker of the House during the memorable session of 1885, when Senator Logan was re­ elected. In 1888 he was again returned to the House; As a politician he was adroit, skillful and successful, though at times his meth­ ods were questioned. Naturally, there- seeuwHi to care, and many friends whom he could depend upon. v His wife died a numbed of years ago„ leaving his one son, J. Charles Ilaines, now of Seattle, W. T., and one daughter, who lived with her father. These both survive him. I®" Roekford Register, 19 th: Ohaun- coy Gunsolus, a farmer living near New Milford, ran against a wolf hole yester­ day afternoon. He concluded to investi­ gate it and see if it had any occupants. He got down on his hands and com­ menced the investigation. He had not proceeded far before he became convinced that there was an occupant. A big gray wolf of the prairie kind jumped out of the hole and sprang at him. He struck the animal, but it renewed the attack, yelp­ ing fiercely. It fastened its teeth in his hand and then a , desperate struggle en­ sued. Fortunately for Gunsolus, he had an open pocket knife on the ground and managed to get hold of ift; This was grabbed by the wolf and the handle broken. Gunsolus finally thrust the keen blade into the wolf's throat dnd killed it. He then renewed his investigation and found seven cubs in the hole. He capT tured these, and to-day brought them and their dead mother to the city and re­ ceived the bounty. WIOE AWAKE for May brings to a close Trowbridge's popular serial, "The Ad­ ventures of David Vane • and David Crane," to give place to Charles R.
