Wives for the Lone- some Bachelors of the Southwest. Special Correspondence of The Evening Star. ARKANSAS CITY, Kan., Feb. 3, 1894. When the Cherokee strip was opened to \settlerrent last September the vast ma- | jority of those who participated in the | mad scramble for homes were males. Still, | there were a few brave-hearted women who | had the courage to declare themselves the equal of the sterner sex, physically, as well as mentally, and who took their places in the long lines on the border of the prom- ised land and waited patiently for the sig- | ral for the race to begin. They underwent levery hardship to which the home seekers | were subjected, and neither asked nor re- ceived favors. Many of them won the prize for which they contested against such great odds, and it is a notable fact that | as large a percentage of women as of men | succeeded in getting homes. Cities were built in a night, and in a short time the mushroom towns took on an air of per- | manency. The excitement and turmoil in- cident to the rush for quarter sections and tewn lots gave way to the ordinary quiet of every-day business, and the men who had succeeded in getting one of Uncle Sam's hemes began to look about them for a wife to preside over it. Maids and widows were scarce. The social side of life was lacking in that one essential. This was nowhere more noticeable than jin the prosperous little city of Ponca, in which there is gathered as industrious a population as the sun ever shone upon. To be sure,the great majority of those who had sought fortune at Ponca were young men who had no family ties to add spice to their new homes. The Idea Proposed. One evening a short time ago it happened of Ponca received an invitation from seven admirers at the same time to attend a party on the same evening. Being a sen- sible girl and heart and fancy free, she de- cided that it would be poor policy on her part to show any favoritism, so she invited each of the seven to call at her boarding house on the night of the ball. Each came dressed in his best, prepared to act as ¢s- cort to her. When ail had assembled in tu parlor she informed them pleasantly that as she did not wish to appear to slight any of them, she had decided to accompany the one who should draw from her hand the longest of the seven straws which she held. This proposition met with general favo> and the drawing was proceeded with. The fortunate winner of the prize accompanied the young woman to the party and the ze- maining ‘six young men sought a quiet a remedy. Most of the night was spent in The outcome of it all was that it was de- cided to send a trusted agent to New Eng- land to induce some of the surplus mar- riageable female population of that region to come to the new land of promi | When this coterfe of lovelorn young men | told their plans to their friends they were received with enthusiasm and no trouble | whatever was experfenced in raising the money necessary to put them into execu- lon. “It was decided to select a man who was an acknowledged expert on the subject of women east, and by common consent Oscar Mills Was selected for the delicate mission. Oscar Mills’ Mission, The Star correspondent was fortunate enough to meet Mr. Mills as he passed through Arkansas City, with a through ticket for Boston in his pocket. He talked freely of the business which was tak: rs him to the Hub and readily explained the details of the scheme. “I am going east, loads of women for our town. “em and need ‘em bad. We want them to j Sash our dishes, mend our clothes, wash jour shirts, sew on our buttons and, gen- erally speaking, to make life endurable in our town.

It is a coincidence, I suppose. At any rate there is not more than one woman to every twenty men in ttled who have their household duties to keep them busy. We want women to work as | I have told you. “Yo us this is no laughing matter and I | will venture to say that no man ever vis- | {ted Boston on a more sericus mission than that which I am going on. We are actually {in need of from 100 to more women in | our town and I am authorized to offer in- | ducements that will bring them here. We | won't give ‘em a house and lot to start jim on or anything of that kind, but we will guarantee them work at good wages. “Why do I go to Boston for girls? W I'll tell you. We might possibly get some in Kansas City that would suit us, but in Chicago we could not do much. We can- vassed that thoroughly before I left home and concluded that it was best to go direct | to Boston.

This is quite true.

Sev Points of Interest in Recent terior Department Decisio: Assistant Secretary Reynolds of the In- terior Department has rendered the follow- ing decision relating to fees of attorneys in pension claims: Where several applications he holds, through different attorneys, based on separate disabilities, the several applica- tions pending shall be considered at the ad- judication as one claim and allowed as such. if a contract for a fee of $25, on account of each disability, has been filed, but one fee will be allowed, and that to the attorney fil- ing the first contract. The practice heretofore of dividing the fee on allowance of claim between the at- torney filing contracts is discontinued, the commissioner of pensions having no power to vary the terms of contract or to divide the fee between the attorneys, after the party filing the first agreement, under the law, has complied with the terms of his con- tract. This ruling shall apply to claims al- ready filed and in which the attorney filing contract subsequent to the first has per- formed no service, and to all claims he:e- after to be filed. Where a widow claims pension for her- self and her own children and also declares for a child of soldier by a former wi the claim is an entirety and the rights of all the parties are subject to a single adjudication and the attorney is entitled to but oa fee. Where, in the same declaration, claimant asks for increase and alleges a new disa- bility and an attorney prosecutes che claim under the articles of agreement, the con- tract applies to the wuole matter pending and the attorney is entitled to but ene fee. Where an attorney dies leaving pension claims pending in which te was cnutled to | recognition, his personal representatives will not be recognized to complete such claims. aS Gladstone's Failing Eyesight. | From the New York Sun, Mr. Gladstone made reference to his fail- ing eyesight in the dispatch about his | health which he sent from Biarritz last week. According to a statement made by | the London correspondent of the Tribune, | the aged statesman is afflicted with cata- ract in both of his eyes, in one of which | the sight has already been totally destroy- | ed, while in the other it is impaired. The sufferer, who is evidently not conversant with the modern method of treating cata- Tract, recently requested his oculist to per- | form an operation upon the blind eye, but | for a very good reason the ocuiist de He may possibly carry out Mr desire after the power of visio! jed from the eye which is yet servic its owner. When cataract has ai both eyes and destroyed the sight in both it is the practice of many of th lists to operate upon one of them, ae its power be restored, to hold the other in reserve, so to speak, for any subsequent emergency, as it can be made the subject | Of an operation at any time, in case of the loss of sight in the eye first operated upon. By trying to remove the cataract from the blind eye at this (ime the oculist might en- danger the eye that is yet useful, Mr. Gladstone is well versed in many branches of learning; but in this particular branch he evidently does not his oculist, Dr. Granger. It is possible that, even if Mr. Gladstone were to become totally blind, he would not surrender the leadership of the liberal | party in parliament or the office of minister or the battle for the rights of old Ireland. In strength of will, in pertinacity of purpose, in the ability to overcome ob- | stacles, few great men have ever surpassed the octogenarian premier. se Visiting Indian Several members of the Sac and Fox and Kickapoo Indiaa tribes in Okiahoma and the Poitawatomies in Kansas are in the city. They called upon Commissioner of Indian Affairs Browning and Assistant Commissioner Armstrong at the Indian bu- erday to make various complaints ervation matters. The Pottawato- mies who were in the delegation urged the removal of Indian Agent Joseph A. | Scott of the Potzawatomie and Great Nem- aha agency in S, and a general com plaint of being forced to allot lands in sev eraity was made. The department has re- fused to recognize them as representa- lives of their tribes and regard them as “kickers,” whose object in making the trip was only to see Washington. It is probable that tuey will accept the advice of the bureau officials by leaving for their reser- vations in a few days. | oo Confirmations, The Senate has confirmed the following nominations: United States attorneys—J.

King Carnival reigned supreme last night and opened the forty-second annual masque- rade ball of the Saengerbund at the Ni tional Rifles’ Hall with a scene of jollity seldom equaled. The hall was crowded with ™merrymakers fantastically attired, and | every one had a royal good time. But that is no Innovation, for the Germans of Wash- ington always enjoy themselves, and have the happy faculty cf letting other people in, so to speak. The costumes last night were far richer and more elaborate than on any other occasion, and some of the disguises were highly original. Round and round the hall the gay maskers paraded, their beaming faces hidden by masks. A friend in the aud.ence would be spied out. and the maskers would make a rush for him, and sometimes going so far in the case of a maiden of pressing a kiss, much to the surprise and confusement of the friend. But throughout the evening there was not a circumstance that marred the pleasure of the ball, and when, at midnight, the trumpet sounded for unmasking, the inter- est was intense. Some time previous to un- masking the prizes for the best costumed and most original disguises were announc- ed. Heretofore it has been customary to give prizes in the shape of trinkets, but |in view of the expense incident to com- peting for the prizes, it was decided to give cash instead. This proved a_highly popular move. The winners were: For the best costumed groups, “The Honolulus” and “Gold, Silver and Greenback: The ladies composing the second group, true to the characters they represented, disappear- ed quickly, and their lucky names could rot be ascertained. The first prize, “The Honolulus,”” was captured by Mrs. Lerch, Mrs. Lepper and Misses Mamie and Lillie Thomas, Carrie Donch, Lizzie Zichike, Mary Shulz, Bertha Arth, Miss Kaiser, and Messrs. Grosch, Hal! and Thomas. The first ladies’ prize was won by “The Windmiil,” Miss Heinrich, and Miss Marie Roberts, as “The Gleaner,” won the second prize. Mr. Henry Schminke, costumed as a Hawaiian, and labeled Cleveland's puzzie, was easily first in the contest for origina! ity, and Mr. H. Heilman, as Hercules, was second. Those Who Were There.
