MINING TOWN MOBBED
Five Thousand Strikers March
 Into Toluca, Ills.
A BLOODY RIOT IS NOW IMMINENT.

The Strikers Will Demand That the 800
 Strike - Governor Gill Refused Troops
 Trouble Feared on the Great Northern.
 ToLUCA, Ills, April 27.-The little min ing village of Toluca, situated in the heart of vast prairie in Marshall county, is wide awake this morning. An army ot nearly 5000 coal miners from Spring Val ley, Laceyville, Lentonville, La Salle, Peru and Oglesby have gone into camp at what is known as the Big Sandy, 415 miles north of this place.
 The Spring Valley, Ladd and I.enton. vile men left Spring Valley at o'clock Thursday, 2,500 strong. They were met at Mount Palatine by miners of La Salle and vicinity. The army took Mount Palatine by storm and went into camp. They were accompanied by seven brass bands, a fife and drum corps and seven eommissary wagons, the contributions of the business men of Spring Valley and vicinity. Food was distributed to the army at this place, and a riot almost ensued among the men. Throngs climbed upon the wagons, and those who had charge of the distribution had great difficulty in managing the hun gry miners.
 At Mt Palatine an attempt was made by the leaders to hold a mass meeting, but the men were so anxious to march on to To- luca that the leaders failed to get their at tention. At II o'clock last night Com mander Knowls ordered halt for the night at the big Sandy.
 The order for march was given at 1 o'clock this morning. The pro gramme of the army when they arrive at Toluca is to call mass meeting immediately and try to use moral suasion upon the Toluca miners to quit work and help the cause. Many of the marchers are old men and there are some women among them.

With Coxey's Own.


 HYATTsTOwN, Md, April 27.-Coxey and his followers marched out of Frederick, and several things combined to make the event quite blithe. The sky was as soft as in June, and the tops of the Blue Ridge mountains cut the horizon in Zigzags that were blue in the distance. The old town turned out to see the start. Men, women and children tlocked on the streets and at the camp grounds. The independent drum corps of Frederick, with flutes and cor nets added to the flies and drums, accom-. panied the commonwealers on their start Then again the bagpipes and the pipers of commune E so agitated the ear that there was another exciting if not blithesome element added to the event of starting.
 To be sure one CoNey man was left in the Frederick jail, but this caused no de precision. Again there were going along nine of the slickest confidence men on the road. Four of them are reputed to be the ablest shellmen in the land. Thus the army was assured of expert if not desira- ble attention.
 The trail lay southward over the George town turnpike and the tramp of II miles from Frederick to this little hamlet was over the best roads yet trod by the weary commonwealers. Sheriff Zimmerman of Frederick county, who went out to meet the army Nllu oV uedNlly dFIHeu uepItleS, made a concession to the peaceful situa- tion and started to show the army out of the county with only 10 deputies.
 At the little huddle of houses that is called Urbana the wealers stopped for lunch. They reached here about 3 o'clock and went into camp in the bend of little mountain stream in pretty valley. The exhibition canvas was set upon edge and thus corralled the CoXeyites. The men came outside soon, however, and scattered along the stream to wash themselves and their clothing. The camp was named Hen rietta, which is the name of Mrs. Coxey. The expert shellmen opened operations among the hamlet people and soon had S15 that had been staked by a bronzed faced creole, with his trousers in his boot tops. Coxey heard of this and sallied forth to arrest the confidence expert. He missed him, but got his outfit
 Supper was furnished from the commis- sary wagons. The hamlet was so small that the contributions were few. Break fast this morning came from the stock sup ply, and the tramp was again taken up for Gaithersburg, nine miles from here.

A Watermelon Enters Plight.

Al Winn, n 60-year-old colored man liz.
ing Mt $500 South Broadway, submitted
to n peculiar operation at the City hos
pital for a peculiar ailment. 1t was the
cutting out of 1000 watermelon seeds
from his internal mechanism.
The old man had been in II watermelon
patch over in East st. Louis. He was en-
joying himself finely, when he was dis
turbed by the approach of some one. Seiz-
ing large, fine green melon, he "lit out. +"
He soon realized, though, it would be inn
possible TO carry that melon very much
longer. If it was only on the inside, how
ever, it would be all right. With this
thought in his mind he began to throw
huge chunks of melon down his throat,
still running like deer. He didn't stop
to chow. He didn't even stop to spit out
the seeds. Winn has mouth like the
opening of II coal mine, and everything
went" into its black depths. When the
old man concluded he was out of dan
ger he stopped running andiound that the
entire big melon was gone. He did not
experience any particular inconvenience
from his gigantic meal for couple of
days. Then he had the "worstest" stom-
ach ache he ever had He was doubled
up with horrible cramps for day and
then came to the hospital. DIR. Marks cut
Winn open and got quart of seeds.-St.
