The BOY Knew.

The hands of the clock pointed to 3:45,
and school would not be dismissed until
4, so the schoolma' am, who was = strict
moralist, thought she would give the
young ideas a short lecture on goodness
and morality. After explaining to the
little folks the various grades OF punish
ment for infractions Of the law she re-
solved to ask few questions to ascertain
If her words had been conn pretended.
Now, children, y said sire, I've told
you what becomes of bad mon and how
good men get bad by lettering about sa-
looms and associating with bad men. Now
let me sec how 1nanJ Of you have profited
by my talk. / wish some of you to tell me
where your papas hope to GO
Nobody answered 1t was plain the
schoolnasam was in too deep water for
the youngsters She seemed to think So
too, so she said:

There was a painful wait, but finally a
little fellow in one of the rear seats slowl-
raised his hand.
All, there's one boy that can answer
that question: Tell us, Tommy, where

army seized train and left here. The army
spent the night and the day about a mile east
of the city or the Vandalia line tracks. They
were in an ugly mood. They had tried to get
out OS town on freight train, but it left
without them. Then at 7.30 o'clock p. m.
they captured a freight train, but the
trainmen, acting under orders, ran it back
in the yards and abandoned 1t. This upset
the calculations Of the men. They had de-
clared to Frye that they wouldn't walk any
more, and they were prepared to keep their
word even If there had to be trouble.
All night they burned the Vandalia Com
pany's ties and made blazing fires, around
which they tried to sleep. The Vandalia line
was compelled to abandon its freight train
service owing to the stand taken by the men.
In the morning the Mayor and Chief of Po-
lice visited the camp and tried to get the
men TO move on peaceably. The men said
Frye had chartered a car for them, that the
Vandalia line had broken its agreement, and
the first train that passed would be seized
even if blood was shed.
The men kept their word. At 2.30 In the
afternoon a VandaIia freight train bound for
he East was made up in the yard in Terre
Haute and was 81 arted out. When it reached
Prairie, about three miles out, the army
captured ii, and in moment the cars were
)verrun by men. They crowded in the
engine and informed the engineer that
le had better run them as far as
3razil They had, they said, several
engineers among them, and if he re-
used they would run it themselves. About
IN hour was spent in a parley. The con-
luctor telegraphed to General Superinten-
lent Elliott, and he in return laid the mat
:er before Genera! Manager Williams.
All this time the five trainmen who com
posed the crew were practically prisoners of
the 800 Industrials. Finally word was sent
out to the conductor to move the train. He

field. In all the larger towns companies
were rapidly formed. With the advent of
warm weather the movement was expected
10 assume striking proportions. There were
those who predicted that by June l CoXey
would have as many men in Washington as
Peter the Hermit led to Palestine.
The following were armies, detachments
and divisions in the field in tho West: Cen

"BILLY" MGARRAHAN DEAD
His Claim Made Him Well Known
During the Last Thirty Years.

William McGarrahan, one of tho most con
spicuous figures about the Capitol for tho
last thirty years, died at Providence Hospi-
tai, Washington, a few days ago.
The old man, better known by everybody
In Washington rs "BiIIy" McGarrahan, was
about seventy years old, and hao been prose-
cutting his claim to the Mexican grant III
California to the Rancho PanOcho property
for the past thirty years, and before that
time for many years in the departments and
the courts. 1t was one Ofthe measures vetoed
by President Harrison after tho bin had
passed both Houses for the first time, al
though prior to that time it had frequently
passed either one House or the other.
William McGarrahan's face has been fami-
liar about Washington, and not a member or
Senator has been in Congress during the past
quarter of a century who did not know him
personally. He has been failing rapidly dur
ing the last year and went to the hospital
few weeks ago.
He was visited there by many Senators,
who have grown attached to the old man.
Always kind and courteous, he has asked
Congress to do him justice, but asked in vain.
In addition to a complication Of diseases,
dropsy set in and death soon followed.
