TUESDAY night the steamer City of of Ludington of the Goodrich Line went ashore at Wiggint Point, on Green Bay. The City of Ludington was bound from Chicago to Manistique and has about fifty passengers on board. The stranding was caused by the smoke frOm forest fires, which has hung sp thick over the lower end of Lake Michigan and Green Bay, making navi­ gation very dangerous. "The Ludington was pulled off by the tug Monarch without much damage.

The just and the unjust were dry as the Congressional Record. For 108 days the skies had been as brass. The parks and grass plats looked like the lots for salting sheep, and the surrounding prairie yawned with crevasfe-' cavernous in depth and appalling in s^ridth. But on Tuesday, the Weather Bureau announced that there would be no rain until October, and this was just what was needed. The rains descended, the floods came, and the parched citizens' faces al> sorbed moisture enough to wear a smile rivaling that a simlae. WITH military display and patriotic demonstration worthy of a great and prosperous State, Ohio, celebrated its day at the Columbian Exposition Thursday. "At the head of the Ohio troops Governor William McKinleyand his brilliantly uniformed staff be­ sieged the White City. Almost before the authorities were astir the conquer­ ing host had passed through the gates of Jackson Park and marched trium- ihantly over the broad avenues of the olumbian municipality. On to the Buckeye Building the Governor led the procession and there planted the ban­ ner of his State amid the cheers of thousands of his people. Then began one of tho most successful State days at the Fair. * MICHIGAN had a multitude at the fair Wednesday. The people came in by every train and beat, and from the nethermost back yard to the last struc­ ture in the State rcw it seemed a ma- ; of the folk present wore the yel- ow ribbon with the State's name flying down its center. Penn- ylvania had a jam and Wiscon­ sin nearly equaled the host, but with no attraction save the Governor and hie loyal proclamation to his constituency Michigan turned out and filled the grounds from fence to lake front. The total, 160,000, did not reach the enor­ mous figures scheduled on the recent fete days, but it nevertheless is a fact that nearly 1C0,000 Michigan peo­ ple registered and reported at the State Building. Each train of the half-dozen lines from the two penin­ sulas was loaded to standing and the single boat which brought the Gov­ ernor's party from St. Joseph had on deck 2,500 souls. From the south and from the north, whence it takes nearly two days to make the journey, the host came, and never did a governor of the State see so many of his kin as facdl Governor Rich Wednesday. orily son of Colonel Sftnford Kel­ logg, of Washington, D.

The fact that the Presi­ dent of the United States is ready to leave Senators and Representatives at any moment to foothe her to sleep when she is tired of staying awake or to extract the unclasped safety from her tender flesh doesn't seem to have the slightest effect upon her. It doesn't matter to her whether her papa has been up half the night trying to save the country and has just fallen into his first nap; if she wakes and feels lone­ some she will immediately set up ayell that will bring papa to his feet and an anxious look to his face in the twink­ ling of an eye.

FOREIGN, BISMARCK'S Any Way to Oet There, Talk about "rushes" for free land! The scenes just enacted at the opening of the Cherokee Strip surpassed any­ thing of tlit) kiud ever known. For a week a constantly growing crowd surged about the registration booths; for no one could secure land without having first registered. Men, women and children, to the number of 20,000 or 25,000, formed in lines and remained there day and night; many were over­ come by the heat and dust; some died from exhaustion; Anvthing eatable commanded World's Fair prices, and water was 10 cents per cup. Still the mass of humanity waited and grew, re­ strained from premature encroachment by United States marshals and cordons of soldiers. places r for registration along the northern boundary of the Strip, and the scene at one was but a duplicate of the others. When the last moment arrived, and the word "Go" was given, with a yell that tore a hole in the heavens the crowd started. Some- on horseback, some afoot, some with wheelbarrows luadeu wibli goods, some on bicycles* and thousands in the picturesque prairie schooners. Flowing w t̂h Milk and Honey.

"Twenty pounds," Thurber said, somewhat rattled, and he blushed like a girl who had just been kissed and caught at it. Then the President, who had insisted on having the last guess, put on his glasses and bent over the basket. With the air of a man who hasn't been catching and weighing bass sAl summer for nothing, he said: "That's a nine-and-a-quarter pounder or there's something wrong with the BCftlBS " Tlie Doctor then lifted the basket once more.

All the extrav­ agant things that have been written in rapturous praise of Oklahoma are said to be more than true of the Cherokee Strip, for it is regarded as equal in its entirety to the very choicest portions of Oklahoma, while its best lands are said to be veritable garden spots. The strip is 200 miles long and 56 miles wide. It lies between the 96th and 100th parallels of west longitude, with the southern border line of Kan­ sas as its northern boundary and the Creek country and the Territory of Oklahoma as its southern. Topograph­ ically it is rolling, broken by hills and uplands and interspersed with valleys and Eden-like bottoms. Ite many water courses are skirted with fine timber, oak, walnut, cedar, ash, beech, and hickory. The soil of the bottom lands and prairies is soft and loamy, black as ink, and of marvelous fertility. Upon the ridges and divides the land is not so well adapted to agriculture, but as the forest growth is slight they furnish splendid grazing pastures for sheep and cattle, being profusely clothed with succulent "bunch grass." Owing to this self-cured "bunch grass" and to the mildness of the climate and the abundance of water, the hilly regions are claimed by old sheep-growers to afford the best sheep country in the world. ' Indian Neighbors. Prospective settlers in tho strip may now prepare to get acquainted with the Cherokees, Creeks, Choetaws and other tribes or nations of Indians in the Ter­ ritory, who, with the white homestead­ ers oi Oklahoma, will bo their nearest neighbors. They are as tribes exceed­ ingly wealthy, and are now rapidly adopting American manners, customs, usages and garments. The Cherokees number about 20,000, the Choetaws 16,- 000, the Creeks 15,000 and the Chey- ennes and Arapahoes 7,000, and all the other tribes 22,COO, making altogether 80,000 Indians resident in the Indian Territory. The price to be paid the Cherokees by the government is $8,595,736. There being 8,144,682 acres of the land, the net price per acre is $1.05. Each settler on the new lands, before receiving a patent, i3 required to pay, beside fees, the sum of $2.50 per acre between parallels 96 and 97i, the sum of $1.50 per acre between 97£ and 98i. and the sum of $1 per acre between 98t and 100, together with four per cent, from the date of entry until the final payment.

Just then he saw that Baby Buth had hold of the basket. "Go away from there, Ruth," he said, gently pushing her off. The basket rose as he did 90 and settled at thirteen and a half. "Gee whillikens!"

Let's see, four from thirteen and a half leaves nine and a half." "Just my guess," Dr. Bryant ob­ served. "Yes," the President replied, "but you haven't allowed for her breakfast. AarrOUNDINQ RAID ON A LAKE 8HORE TRAIN. The Bandits Get SSOO.OOO, Shoot the Kng** neer, and Make Their Escape--Inadequate Reward Offered by the Boad-Tfeey Wen Profeaelonals. Story of the Deed. When the Atlantic, express on the Lake Shore and Michigan Southern Railroad, which left Chicago at 7:45 o'clock Monday evening for New York and Boston, reached Kessler, Ind., at 12:40 o'clock, it was stopped by an open-switch signal. A gang of men boarded the train, shot Engineer Stewart Knapp and blew open the United States Express Company's safe with dynamite, stealing its contents. It is believed that these amounted to nearly $300,000, including a shipment of $250,000 from a . Chicago to a New York bank. The robbery was a bold one, though it was probably the work of a gang of tramps, according to the belief of the best-known thief catchers. Tho train carries express, mail, day coaches, and sleepers. It is the heav­ iest express train on the road, and fre­ quently carries a half million dollars in currency and bullion, This feot must have been known to the nobbers, as they were prepared in every way to make a big hauL The robbers num­ bered eighteen or twenty men, all armed and prepared for their desperate work At the fall of the engineer, who was shot iq the back by a masked man, who boarded the locomotive from the opposite side, the fireman was covered with a Winchester and ordered at tbe cost of his life to stop the train, which he did. When the train stopped Messenger Weist thought the train had reached Kendallville, and threw open the south door to unload and take off express matter, but seeing that it was the siding he apprehended danger and slammed it shut; but almost at the same instant there was a loud report and the north door of the car flew off its hinges by the explosion of dynamite cartridges. Messenger West and hi a helper, named Hamblin, were covered with Winchesters and ordered to open the small safe, which they did. In the meantime ten masked men, all armed, had entered the car, three of .J iltli Wants to Know How Many B--tori CHtai National Bank Stoek--Says He Doea«^|;. Own Amf Slleor Woes Crossed with HBL *'y A Monkey and Parrot ̂/' v ' Wsshlngton correspondence; |HAT gay ISiil balky band of patriots, the Sen­ ate, has been the center of interest for some time now, and occasionally, in its silver de­ bate sparks fly as f rom f l i n t and steel. The other day Senator Stew­ art, of Nevadfc, started the fun. With a manner in­ dicating that he was loaded for bear and ready to k ick , when t he i Senate chamber, was unusually full, he offered a resolution that a com­ mittee be appointed to discover how many Senators owned stock in national banks. Thi? resolution was a tremendous success in the line intended by its author. It was about such a succoss as one inight expect in pulling out the ineides of a piano with a garden rake. Before tbe feneral grasp for breath had subsided, Ir. Stewart proceeded to rub salt on the wound he had caused by saying he was sick and tired of Wall street men and New York papers charging that the silver advocates Owned stock in silver mines. He himself hadn't owned any in fifteen years. But he had an awakening suspicion that a good many Senatorial opponents of silver ownea stock in national banks, which would be benefited by repeal, and he thought what was sauce for the goose was just as good a dress­ ing for duck. He had discovered in some musty old tome a long-forgotten law that t no person who owned stock in the United State? bank, which Jaok- son broke up, could hold a seat in Con- v^i., vr» gress. If the principle of this law was whom went to work boring holes for good then, it was good now; and he d y n a m i t e c a r t r i d g e s i n t h e l a r g e s a f e ' * ' . . . in which all through shipments of money and bullion were kept. The i work was accomplished in a profes­ sional manner and speedily. In a few moments after the explosion of the cartridge the large safe door fell to the floor, opening up a large amount of money and bullion, which the robbers proceeded to lead themselves with, to­ gether with that found in the small safe, which was taken on at local sta­ tions, and amounted to several thou­ sand dollars. No attempt was made to open the inner vault to the largo safe, where the bulk of the currency was kept. President and General Manager J.
