In this strain Coxey talked half an
hour, bare-headed under the hot sun,
explaining his bill for good roads, for
plenty of money and its companion
piece, universal luxury, through nom
interest bearing bonds. Every thrust

The Army mt Dinner.
Meantime the army inside the cam
vas had been disposing of a mise rable
meal. The men lined up before a
commissary wagon from which
squares of the bread which they call
punk" was dealt out to them. This
they took over to the camp fire, on
which several buckets of uninviting-
looking meat stew had been con-
cocted. Each wealer received big
spoonful of the stew on his bread, and
they sat about on the ground gnawing
this in famished way. A much more
elaborate meal was prepared for the
leaders in the headquarters tent.
The gate receipts for the day are
said to have been but $40. General
Coxey declares his army will march
to the capitol Tuesday noon. holding
its great mass meeting on the steps
to demand the passage of his bill, and

vicinity of his capacious home on
the north side Tuesday evening and
at 80 took possession of it and the

ADJUD0ED INSANE.

Charles Mann was arrested Tues
day morning and taken before Pro-
bate Judge John Stauffer for trial as
to his sanity. Chas. Mann, Jr., N. ].
McCammon. w. NJ. Gill, John Jones
and w. E. Donaldson were ex-
amined as witnesses and the un-
fortunate man was adjudged insane
by the jury and will be sent to the
asylum at Osawatomie.
Charlie Mann. with his favorite
little organette, has been familiar
and conspicuous character on Mil.
itary street for several years and
nearly every one who saw him at
once suspicioned that he must be
light in the upper story. He was
perfectly harmless, however, except
when something about home would
arouse his anger and he would
make desperate threats to his wife
and son and sometimes hurt them.
He was practically worthless as a
helpmeet to his wife and would
scarcely lift his hand at work for
anyone during the past few years. .
Recently he became possessed OF
the idea that Baxter Springs was
soon to be totally destroyed by hre
and that he was to be commanded
at a certain time to start the blazes
and see that the work was well
done. A few days ago he also got
an idea that his eson Charlie had
lived long enough and that he must
be killed. Accordingly he prepared
a suitable club and Sunday morn
ing attempted to make an assault
upon his son, who fortunately got
out of the way before being serious
ly hurt. Mann then turned upon
his wife. but she begged so hard for
mercy that he finally decided to let
her go.
Mr.. Mann was a policeman and
then city marshal of Baxter Springs
in the early days of her history and
il said TO have been most efficient
and painstaking officer. He came
to this place in 1866 and was prob
ably the oldest inhabitant of the
town. Heis an old soldier and car
ries upon his person several ugly
wounds received while in the ser
vice.

DEATH OF MRS. II. W. SMITH.

DEATH OF MRS. n. w. SmitH.
Died, at her late home in Baxter
Springs, Monday, January 8, 1884, at
2:4O o'clock p. M, Angeline, wife OF
H. w. Smith, aged 80 years, months
and % days. Funeral services were
held at the residence Wednesday at
2 o'clock conducted by Rev. J.. NJ.
Crawford of the Presbyterian
church, and the remains laid to rest
in the city cemetery.
Mrs. Smith came to Baxter with
her husband and family of two
daughters and son about three
wears ago from Allen county, In.
diana, where she was born ana
lived until her removal 10 this city.
In character she was a most perfect
specimen of womanhood, always
preferring to serve or make some
one else happy than 10 accept as
sistance from others. She was Il
devout member of the Evangelical
Lutheran church and was among
it's most prominent and useful meni'
bers at her home ia Indiana, con-
tributing in every conceivable way
to aid in the furtherancc of church
work. Her health began to tan
lust prior TO her removal to this
city and she had scarcely become
acquainted here before she was TOO
ill to venture out, hence the value OF
her presence in the social circle and
church work was not appreciated
here as il would have been had she
enjoyed good health. Mrs. smith
has been unable I" bcout for nearly
two years past. and gradually grew
weaker until the final dissolution.
Her death was one of the most
peaceful Imaginable. Her family
were all present. and few OF her
lady friends. 4 few minutes be-
fore the angel came she asked to be
raised ND and her husband sup
ported her in a reclining position
upon a pillow and while thus she
said, "Oh, let me go turned her
head to one side and simply wentto
sleep, evidently satisfied that her
reward would be a Just one.
Within two hours prior to her
death Mrs. Smith talked with her
husband about the children ana
his future welfare. selected the
hymns. Jesus, Lover of Ny Soul
and Nearer My God to Thee" to be
sung at her funeral and made other
requests and suggestions concern
ing her burial. She was conscious
up to within five minutes before
her death. Her funeral was most
beautiful one, and emblematic OF
her beauty of character. The floral
offerings were many and gorgeous
in their beauty, and the services
were attended by large concourse
of the friends of herself and family.
