Charge of Burglary.

Five Madison Youths Plead Guilty to a
Charge of Burglary.
MADISON, Wis, April 30.-The police
made haul Saturday evening of gang
of youthful burglars who have been
committing numerous depredations in
the city and vicinity during the past
two weeks. Seven summer cottages,
two grocery stores and two confection-
cry and cigar stores are included in the
list of places they confess to have
broken into and robbed. The cottages
are located along the shore of Lake
MENDOZA, between Picnic Point and
Merrill's Spring, only used by their
owners during the outing season.
Besides stealing such stuff as had
been left there they had broken and
destroyed the furniture in several. The
lads, whose agesrun from IA to Is years,
are Frank Schmidt, Ernest Crors, John
Thomas, Gus Starkweather and John
Norton, the latter a darkey. The first
three named seemed to be the worst of
the lot, the others having been into only
one or two places. They were arraigned
in the municipal court this morning. and
pleaded guilty to the charge of burglary.
Sentence was postponed until to-mor-
row. They will probably be sent to the
industrial school at Waukesha.

MARCHING THROUGH THE MUD.
kelly's Army Flooding Across Iowa
MANY Men Deserting.

ADAIR, Ia, April 27.-One hundred
and twenty-one Sacramento men were
missing to-day when Kelly massed his
industrial army for the march. The
men had asserted last night that they
would walk no further, and as soon as
breakfast was over folded their tents
and silently prepared to steal
rides. They said they would not
rejoin the army at Stuart tonight, but
Kelly was confident that the seductive
influence of the commissary would
bring them back. The march to-day
was begun under discouraging pros
poets. Rain began falling soon after
dawn and the wagons that had been ex-
pected to carry the army failed to ma
terialize. There were scarcely sufficient
teams to haul the baggage and the sick,
and grumbling among the men was
loud and deep. Kelly waited for teams,
and then, discouraged, ordered the
army forward, telling the men to take
the rG road instead of the wagon road
if they wished.
Kelly received no contributions Of
food at Casey, and the General issued
an appeal to Mayor Bemis, of Omaha,
for provisions

trouble.

P1TTsBURG, Pa, April Ex-senator
Quay is reported to be very i'll at his
home in Beaver. He had arranged for
political conference here this after
noon and to attend the Americas Club
banquet tonight, but he was unable to
leave home. A close friend of Senator
Quay says he was taken sick
about two weeks ago, but it was not
known to the general public. His
affection is one that may take him off
without much warning, and the fact
evidence that he is very ill. The work
on his tariff speech was too much for
him in his then weak condition, and it
is feared he is in a weaker condition
than is generally believed.
