He Would Sell Himself for His Family

FROM the Detroit Free Press.
A most extraordinary incident, indica-
tive, no doubt, of the desperate state Of
mind TO which many have been reduced
by the prevailing hard times, occurred at
Emergency Hospital recently. A man
about As years Of age called at the hospital
and asked TO see the superintendent or
physician in charge. When that func-
tionary was called and inquired the
strangers business, the man said: eMy
name is Albert Stoner. am painter By
trade, ana have family dependent on me
at Flint. l have been out of work for a
long time, though / have sought il con-
stantly and done anything and everything
that was offered me, which was very lit
tie. My family are now reduced to very
straitened circumstances, and / want to
sell you my body for SIS for dissecting
purposes"
The doctor was astonished at the nov
city of the proposition, and said face
tiously that the hospital might have to
wait good while before the goods were
delivered.
mot at all, replied Mr.. Stoner. "Just
as soon as / find that the money has
reached my family will commit suicide
and leave an order that my body be given
to you"
II the doctor had been astonished be-
fore, he was much more so at the last re-
mark Of Mr.. Stoner, and began to suspect
that he was dealing with lunatic But
though he applied the usual tests in the
long conversation which followed, he was
unable to detect the slightest ALTERATION
of mind, except that MIR. Stonef had
brooded so long over his inability to pro-
vide his family with the necessities OF
life that he had become desperate, and
had even lost sight of the fact that he was
asking the doctor to become a murderer
or murderer's accomplish.
''Have the hard times affected voug',
asked the man with seedy coat. ssNotin
the least" said the man with the silk
hat. May / inquire your businessli'

The report recently IN one OF the medl-
cal Journals from a well-known physician
of recovery in three cases OF gastric ulcer
following diet of ice cream revives at
tention to the benefcence of this diet in
certain forms of dyspepsia The first
patient of the trio was woman of 30,
who had lost twenty-five pounds from in
ability To assimilate food, and also suf-
fered great pain. She was put on the ice
cream diet, and for two months she con
sumed from one TO three quarts daily. By
the end of that time she had gained
twenty-four pounds and her ordinary diet
was resumed.
The theory is that the healthy intes
tines recover first from the chill of the
frozen food, and do the digestive work,
giving the diseased membrane rest and
semi-insensibility, while the cream af-
fords ample and excellent nourlshment.
Physicians who prescribe the diet are
careful to avoid chemical fiavorings. and
prefer. usually insist, upon the ice cream
being made at home OF pure materials
and under the best conditions.

DOWN THE CANAL.
Coxey's Main Army Finds Travelling
Somewhat Easier.

CUMBERLAND. Nd. April17.-The Army
of the Commonwea was astir at daylight,
preparing for the barge trip to Williams
port. The army plunged down into the
deep canyon through which the pike runs
into Cum berland, and through the cold
still air the marchers sent echong the
strains of "The Battle Hymn of the Repub-
lic." Prominent citizens of the town
turned out to bid them godspeed. Both
Carl Browne and Coxey made short fare
well addresses thanking the people for
the kindness that had been shown the
army. and promising to march back over
better roads than Cumberland had ever
seen, all of which was to be the result of
the bond issue bills the Commonweal is
going to have passed by Congress.
GREEN SPRING. w. Va. Atri) 17.-One

WANTS THE GULF.
Governor Evans Making a Fight
Against the Union Pacific.

DENVER, April 7.-Ex-Governor John
Evans has filed bill in the United States
Circuit Court asking that the recent
election of directors of the Denver and
Gulf road be set aside and a new election
ordered, from which the Union Pacific
stockholders shall be excluded, and that
the court enjoin the present directors
from permitting the road to be sold under
mortgage.
The petition recites the history of the
acquisition Of the Gulf road by the Union
Pacific, and the alleged mismanagement of
the property by that corporation. Gov
ernor Evans alleges that the recent elec-
ton was mere farce and a sham, and
the result was previously arranged and
agreed upon" 1t is declared that the
Union Pacific is planning to take advan-
tage of the poverty-Stricken condition of
the Gulf brought about by the misman-
agement of the controlling corporation-to
cause a foreclosure and sale, and that the
Union Pacific designs TO buy up the prop
efty and make it a part of the larger sys-
TEN, thus doing away with a formidable
comDetitOr.

did to-day what neither the militia nor
courts could do-scattered Kelly's army.
Bare boughs offered little shelter from a
Missouri Valley rainstorm and the army
now knows just how much water can
come from a cloud when it all comes at
once. During the entire day Kelly's army
clung to their camp in the timber near
Parks mill, waiting for something to turn
up. Rations were apt to be cur allied in
few hours and the uncertainty OF delay
suggested the certainty of hunger. And
then the rain came. 1t fell in torrents for
a few moments and soon scattered the
men III search of shelter. This was ex-
tremely scarce. The militia occupied the
only buildings in the vicinity and would
not allow any Kellyite to enter. AS re-
suit the entire command was soon drenched.
The shower ended, the sun came out
warm and bright and the army gathered
again, mud begrimed and bedraggle0.
and something of feeling of desperation
developed. General Kelly was in Omaha,
where he had been all day, and his return
to camp at nightfall was anxiously waited
for by the men.
with him S160 in cash and three wagons
loaded with provisions subscribed by the
citizens of Omaha. Shortly after Kelly's
return to camp rain began to fall steadily,
and it looked like the shower would con-
tnue all night. This rendered the situa-
ton of the men almost unbearable.
Quite a seDsati has been developed in
Council Bluffs against Governor Jackson
for his action in calling out the militia.
The citizens angrily insist that they have
beer put to unnecessary expense. So far
there has been no clash between the au-
thorties and Kelly's men, and none is ex-
pected. To-day papers were prepared for
an application for an order to restrain the
Governor and militia from further inter-
ference with the army. The paper was
not filed. however. as the expediency of
such a move was doubted. One mother.
whose son is a memb Der of militia CON-
pany, came to the Bee office to inquire if
she could not get her boy back.
HE has been sleeping on the ground
thes nights" she said. 'and l just know
he will be SICK"
In an interview Governor Jackson de-
MED that the troops were called out on
his motion. He said the request came
from Sheriff Eazen of Pottowatomie
County, who said he would need the mi
litia to maintain order during the stay of
the army in his county. Governor Jack
son says he was not requested by the rail-
road companies TO protect their property.
During the day the Western Union Tele-
graph Company put in telegraph wire TO
the camps. A message has just been re-
ceived saying that the men are becoming
very restless and it seems almost certain
some decisive move will be made during
the night. All the railroad tracks in the
vicinity are patrolled by militiamen. and
even the depot is guarded so closely that a
reporter was compelled to get a permit
from Adjutant-General Pryne before he
could gain entrance to file message

GETTING RATHER SERIOUS.
Washington Grows Alarmed at the
Approach of the ARMY.

Approach of the Army.
WASHINGTON, April 17.-While the po-
lice authorities of Washington are not lay
ing their plans in advance, they are
making active preparations to receive
General Coxey and his Commonwsal
Army. Two members of the detective
branch of the force, Officers Qpinlan and
Boyd, were sent to join the army at Cum
berland On Saturday. Their business will
be to make the acquaintance of any GRIM
inals who may be enlisted in the ranks,
and to learn the true inwardness of the
movement, if it conceals any sinister de-
signs.
Colonel Redstone. the local manager of
the Common veal. visited police headquar-
ters to-day to labor with Inspector Hollin-
berger and convince him that the purposes
of the movement are benefcent He rep
resented that the crusaders were all law
abiding men, and declared they would re-
main in to wn but a few hours.
Although the total number of soldiers
now en- route In all divisions of the army
probably would not exceed 5000 men, it is
confidently expected by the leaders and
believed poss BILE by Washington citizens
that as the army approaches Washington
the mum Der of men will be vastly aug
mented by recruits from the mountains of
Maryland and Virginia and from Pnila-
delphia. Baltimore and other large cities
near by. The police force of Washington
comprises $50 men. the District of Colum-
bia militia is composed OF 1900 well-drlled
soldiers, under the direction Of the PIesi-
dent, that could be ordered out on an hours
notice. while near by is Fort Myer with
infantry and cavalry com panies. There
are also soldiers at the Washington bar
racks, together with such mariDes as could
be mustered at theWashiDgton Navy-yard.
1t is the intention of the Commonweal
Army leaders to rendezvous just outside
of the District of Columbia line. All divis-
ions and stragglers will mobilize here and
enter the city in grand parade, marching
down Pennsylvania avenue past the White
House to the Capitol to the music of the
fife and drum, and carrying their banners.
inscribed peace on Earth, Good Will
Toward Men, but Death to Monopolists
and Trusts"
How this army is going to be fed is per-
picking the Washington people. The sta
tion-houses, jals and public warehouses
will not be adequate by any means, so the
idea of incarcerating them will have TO be
abandoned. There may be an attempt to
draw a Gordon of police and militia around
the army and literally corral it.
1t is the general opinion that Congress
may make an appropriation sufficient to
