Colonel Redstone Arrives.

Colonel Redstone was accom- mpanied by his private secretary, J. s. Bartlett, for merly private secretary of Congressman Coffein of Wyoming. He met the army of the commonweal about mile west of here and had a short conference with Carl Browne before the latter clapped him into Coxey's private buggy and drove into town in triumph. with the Washington representative at the head of the process sion.
 Colonel Redstone brought news that made the eyes of the army bulge out in anticipation, but which was received by the correspondents with considerable al- lowance. He declared that the coming of the army into Washington was to be the greatest reception ever accorded to any or ganization in the history of this country.
 ''There will be guard of honor of IL, 900 men to march into town with you boys," he said. There have been promised 800 wheelmen also, and all of the labor unions will turn out to greet you. The commit tee on ways and means has accumulated provisions enough to prevent any fear of want, and there will be little to do in pro viding for the unattached members. The labor unions, the Grand Army and all the similar institutions have promised to care for their own people, and there will be no great drain on any part of the commu- nity."
 The commonwealers were wildly jubi- lant at the news, taking the success of the expedition as assured beyond question. The colonel further ingratiated himself into their good graces by announcing that he would stop at the camp rather than at hotel. "I have been in the army myself" he said, land I do not ask my men to go in for any hardship when am not in it with them"
 The privation will be only one night in duration, for Colonel Redstone goes back to Washington today, but it is more than likely that he will take back a case of acute rheumatism and chills with him, as the ground was damp and the air malarious about the camp.
 On leaving Hagerstown the army was the indirect cause of one casualty. Jennie Burke, an old colored woman, was stand ing on the sidewalk watching the army file past. She had been much excited over the coming of the asmy, and before the last of the procession had passed she fell in faint, dying of heart failure few min utes later.

Fly-Catching Mice.

For something new in the way of a
hy-trap look in the window of the
drug store at the corner of TrenloGr

one to four rodent quadrupeds can be
