squared their horses at the laurels and

through which Browne and CoXey had
disappeared. There was a crashing,
tearing moment as man n horse beat

ambushed tigers. these police creatures
burst on the thick-crowded grounds.
AS these sixteen protectors of public
interest burst through the bushes they
yelled like demons, and their clubs
cracked heads right and left. There
was not a law-breaker in this crowd.
1t was a scene of peace-a gala scene.
There were children romping on the
grass, women in white dresses: the
most deadly weapon was a para'o
Yet fifty men, women and children
were dubbed and trampled on in that
one indiscriminate moment OF police
crime. One big negro was dubbed
until the blood streamed down his
chest. Marshal Browne was being
d aged by the neck and shoulders
from the grounds. His head was I'M
covered, his shirt in rags and his lace
almost colOrless in rage. During
all this excitement a slender man
wearing glasses and pale as death in a
chalk mine was elbOwing his way to
the steps of the Capitol. He n%ervously
fumbled a scroll of manuscript in the
side pocket of his coat and daintily
lifted bis hat to the crowd as 1T cheer
ed him. This slender man climb ten
of the marble steps, when he stopped,
cleared his throat and placed his hat
beneath his arm. The stranger was
Jacob Sechly Coxey. Captain Garden,
of the Capitol police, stepped to one
side of him and Lieutenant Kelly, OF
the city police, was at his other arm:
The other officers formed solidly about
him. and he was almost carried from
the steps of the Capitol.

FARMERS PREPARING FOR WAR.

Kansas Secretary of State Says They Are
Aiming for the Conflict.
Secretary of State Osborn, of Kansas,
said relative to the arrest of CoXey and
Browne:
1 want to make this prediction. There will
be no overt act until the next election, then
simultaneous with the returns the flames will
shoot up into the air from the Atlantic to the
Pacific. and every palatial residence will be
destroyed in the uprising OF the people. Woe
unto them then who have sought to stay this
tide for the last six months. The farmers are
preparing for this: they are selling a horse or
COW and buying Winchesters, and many me-
chanics are doing the same.
Des Moines, Iowa-The Grand Opera
House held two large assemblies to-
day. Kelley, Speed, and Baker ad-
dressed each one. and almost $500
was taken in at the door. Half of that
money goes to the army.
Portland, Ore.-The industrial army
is camped near the Northern Pacific
Mill. The men and a number of sympa-
thizers paraded the principal streets.
There were about 1000 men in line and
100 women.
Omaha, Neb.-Efforts are being made
to organize an army in Omaha. A
mass-meeting was held for that pur-
pose. About 300 men agreed to march
to Washington.
Indianapolis, Ind. Gen. Aubrey,
with twenty-nine cOmmOnwealers, de-
serted Gen. Frye and started to Wash
ington on loot. Frye still has nearly
300 men under his command.
Lincoln, Neb.-Tne superintendent
of the Burlington offered employment
to all members of Col. Duff's indus
trials. Sixteen accepted the offer and
we're given transportation to Montana.

This Horse Isn't Alive, but He . Can.er
and Gallop.
A remarkable invention to enable
people to get a good imitation Of
horseback riding in their own homes
Is displayed in London, according to
the Westminster Budget. 1t is called
the Hercules horse-action saddle"
1t consists Of a series of four plat
forms, one above the other. Each
has several helical springs, which are
adjusted according to their positions
for best taking up the strain they
will respectively have to sustain from
the changing movement of the rider.
On the top of all is a saddle secured
to a steel spindle. The ends of the
spindle are carried through two vcr-
tical slots, in which they are free to
move up and down.
All the mi chanical apparatus is in
closed within a mahogany frame,
which looks like a small dinner wag-
on, about thirty inches in length and
breadth, and about four feet high.
On each side Of the frame is a foot
board. and in front is an iron handle,
something like that of a cycle. but
fixed. The "horse" may be mounted
by placing me foot on the fOotboard
and throwing the other over the sad
die. The action of the legs as in ris-

Az the foot Of the steps the great
crowd greeted Coxey and the oasers
with a storm of shouts. Again the
mounted officers charged. The crowd
surged, and women and children fell in
the stampede. AS Commander Coxey
left the white stecS nc tossed his type
written protest, which he had en-"
deavored to lead, to the newspaper
men who we're following him.
The police escorted Coxey to his car
riage, where he stood looking fiercsly
over the crowd for a moment, and then
bowling right and left amid cheers
from his followers he led the way and
was followed to camp by the indus
trials.
A Washington dispatch SAYS the
dash made by the twin reformers this
afternoon has made them a great many
friends. No one really believed that
an attempt to speak would be ventured.
Coxey is as hopeful as usual tonight.
He says he expects to make another

A New Insurance Society.

An Old Maids Insurance Society
is talked of in London, much to the
delectation of the alleged funny men
who are always on the look out for a
target for their wit. They suggest
that another designation be adopted,
as ladies Of all ranks and ages would
repudiate an appellation which has
so much that is in vidiOus, diSreSpe t.
full and distasteful to the feminine
mind of approaching age and single
b~lesSednesS. sold maids" is certain
ly not a nice expression to put on
the program of a society, but what
ever the title, there is nothing Chi
merical or impracticable in the pro-
ect itself. A similar society has
long been in operation throughout
Denmark and works we'll and profit
ably. The general outline Of the
plan, it seems, is that d lady who
does not feel sure that she means to
be married or wants to be married,
should pay an annual premium to the
central office; she receives a form OF
policy duly executed and upon con
ditiOn that she pays her annual pre-
miumS with regularity. she will re-
ceive at the age of forty a round sum
proportionate to the extent of her in
vestments and with probably certain
bonuses. In case she marrieS before
or after that age, she must forfeit all
claim upon the company. Now that
the number of nOn-marrying WOlne is
increasing so fast, a society OF this
sort would lie of good benefit to the
many who are necessarily Self-Sup-
porting, and who, unless provided
for in some such way. IAN only look
forward to an old age Of poverty and
neglect.

why did | discharge such an ex-

civil engineer. well, l will tell you.
l discovered a short time age that he
was keeping Il private notebook, and
after notifying him that he must
stop it and again learning that he
wa continuing the practice | was
obliged to discharge him. A sur
veyOr in doing a piece Of work makes
minutes as he zoe along of the lines
he runs, of the various points mark
ing the bounds of the lands he is
surveying aud all such data as is not
only necessary for the drawings OF
his plans, but also incidentally that
which may aid him in the case Of any
other survey being made later on.
In fact, this data really constitutes !
sort of capital or stock in trade. for
if the party owning the land ever
wishes another survey OF it for any
purpose he will naturally apply to
that same surveyor. who, having
these old memoranda, can do the
work easier and more cheaply than
any other surveyor. Oftentimes,
after many years have elapsed and
old landmarks have passed away,
those minutes become very valuable.
Consequently a civil engineer always
wishes to keep these in his own
hands, and men in his employ are
not allowed to make copies of min
utes of surveys which they make
while in his employ. Otherwise an
old employe, in leaving and setting

Gen. Coxey said to a reporter at the
camp: This is the beginning of the
movement: that is all. The people are
with us-the common people. Look at
the thousands who cheered our cause.
We will remain right here. Other
bands of unemployed will join us. Con.

Coxey Under Arrest.
Wednesday morning Gen. Coxey was
arrested, charged with u~nlawfully en-
tering the United States Capitol
grounds and there injuring certain
plants and shrubs. The commonweal
leader was held in $500 bail and locked
up in a cell along with his ~lieutenants,

Coxey for trial, refused to accept 500
cash bail for his appearance, and it

commonwealer's release by furnishing
real estate security for his appearance
