The COxey hObOs arrived on time
Wednesday evening and about $50, with
Mayor Bandel and Sheriff Davis at their
head, the line of weary marchers wheeled
into Main-st. and continued their jour
ney east. The column never halted un-
til it was three miles east Of town. at
Walnut Forks. There they were told
they could camp for the night. There
they stopped and prepared for supper.
A wagon load of provisions was taken
out and the hobOs enjoyed a full meal
of bread and meat before donning their
slumber robes. In the meantime the
news had spread over the city and by
S o'clock hundreds of vehicles were on
the way out to the hobo camp to get a
look at the dusty travellers. The recep-
ton committee, which consisted Of
Messrs. Banded and Davis. met the hobOs
just west of town where they were ready
to halt for the night and told them there
was a much better camping ground on
the east side of town. BY a little diplO-
macy the party was induced to proceed
to Walnut Forks. The reception COM

the promise of something to eat. Gen.
Kelsey, the leader, said he had started
from Omaha with $50 men, but fifty of
them had secured work and the others
who had not deserted were still with
him. They were on their way TO Wash

famous by COXey. Thursday morning
Bandel and Davis went out to escort
them across the line into the adjoining
county.-Crawfordsv Argus-News.
Some time ago we called attention to
the case of Alexander Robinson, who
was blind. but had been operated upon
and cured He Is now hfty-eight years
Of age. The operation was d success,
and he now sees as wei as any man. II
was a most interesting case from the
fact that the receiving of his sight after
being blind for fifty years must have
been a good deal like coming TO earth
after having been of II for fifty years.
RObinsOns faculties, as is always the
case with people who are blind, were
highly cultivated, SO he had better ideas
Of things he had never seen than might

He had no idea # color at all. Green

him, or black white and he would not
have known the difference. He had
some idea of form, but it was slight. He
did not know a house when he saw IL

ii might be a house, but wasn't certain.
He thought man was ever so much big
er than he is. a horse, he had thought,
was a small animal-like a dOg--and was
in ecstacies with their appearance and
motions. He thought the Doctors mare
was the prettiest thing in the world. He
went to the circus before he went home,
and what he saw there he will never get
tired talking about, and the engine that
hauled his train-that pretty near set
him crazy with delight.-Richmond Pal

operation known as 'trefining'' was
about TO be performed on a large black

The horse was kicked just below the left
eye, last Sunday while grazing about one

and the 'trefne," a peculiar sort Of

used TO bore into the lower end of the
cavity into which the upper wound en-
