worth League organization was re-
membered at the M. e. church Sun

A letter received from Charles P.
Kimball, recently of Albany, who now
resides in South Prairie, Washington,
states that he is well pleased with
the country there and is prospecting
in business. One of the Commonweal
army squads is encamped near by,
waiting for an opportunity to steal
railway train, in order to get free
passage East. He states that most
of them have left paying jobs with
the intention of getting back East in
the crowd without expense to them
selves.
The Coxey performance is growing
more and more ridiculous from day to
day. Coxey and his lieutenants were
found guilty of violating the laws in
their attempt to make speeches and
march in a body over the Capitol
grounds. They take an appeal. The
populists in congress took sides with
them, but to no particular avail. The
"army" which was encamped inside
the District limits has gone to a new
camping place, outside, in Maryland.
It looks as though the whole thing
would burst up soon.
