WILD COXEYISM.
The Western Industrials In q
LaWleSs Mood.
BATTLE WITH HOGAN'S MEN.
The Train Stealers Captured by United
States Troops.

Excited Deputy sherins Fired on the In
dustriais at Billings, Mon, and Serious
Row Followed Original Coxey Army
Almost at the Capitai-Now England
Regiments Are Forming RapIdiy-Frye's
Men stole a Train Too-Keily's Army Re-
united and Peaceful Under Three Lead
ers-Jones Takes Fresh start.
ST. PAUL, April 26-Reports from the
train that was stolen by the Butte Coxey-
ties, which has been coming this way since
night before last, have come in from vari-
GUS points. The train left Livingston on
Tuesday night and came a short distance
when they went into camp for the night
That was at Columbus, and they got
away from the deputies there and later
showed their superiority in numbers at
Billings so decidedly that the force Of
deputies withdrew, and the stolen train
continued its victorious journey on to
Washington
However, the authorities had not been
idle, and orders We're sent ont to the army
posts stationed near or on the line Of the
Northern Pacific road and troops have
been IN readiness FOR moving orders at
Fort Smelling, near this city at Fort Yates,
near Bismarck: at Fort keogh, near Miles
City, and the last named post, right on the
line of the road.
At Fort Keogh, Colonel Page is in COM
mand, with half dozen companies of in
fantry and two companies Of cavalry, two
batteries and force numbering 500 rs
hardy troops as are found in the United
States service. Colonel Page is firm COM
mander and believes thoroughly in obey
ing orders, and he is hard hitter when
the orders are to strike, so that the out
come of the coming scrimmage between
Hogan's army and Uncle Sans army is
not much in doubt.
Cannot Get Past Fort Keogh.
II by any possibility the train should be
able to run past Keogh double the force
Of troops stationed there could be thrown
in the way in a very few hours.
At Fort Keogh the garrison was in read
iness for the enemy, although It was moi
thought they would reach there befor,
this morning. The men have shown q
fear Of night running since their first night
and were expected to go into camp for the
night at some point between Billings anc
/ Keogh.
They have an idea that the company will
block the track by throwing n mass o.
dirt across it or in some similar way detei
their progress. The Northern Pacific op
orators along the line kept the COMPANY
advised Of the progress Of the train, anC
the troops were in readiness.
After their capture it is probable tina
the Coxeyites will be returned to BUTT
under military escort. The only way tina
the army could escape apparently is b,
across country.
1t is reported that Colonel Pages fore
surrounded the train at ST. Paul early thi
morning, and that Hogan and his me
surrendered

In fighting the battle of life the most powerful weapon for a young man or wo- man is sound business knowledge. The possession of this knowledge in the ma jority of instances means victory half won. The New London Business College, New London, has an established reputation of affording thorough, practical business education; moreover, it has introduced features peculiar to it's own training. There's another thing, too, it does, i. e., offers to refund the cost of tuition if its patrons do not find everything as repre- sented and the training just what is claim ed for it. This years catalogue is now ready, and, if you are interested, you will want to see 1t. Copy will be mailed on application to R. A. Brubeck, principal.

After the passage of the low tariff of 1S46 the whig leaders all talked as Me Kinley does now, but as matter of fact the high protection party began at once to melt away until in 1857 little or none of it existed.-Sprinatie1d Repl61iean.
 On the contrary the whigs elected their president in 1s4s, and the splitting of the party by the overshadowing slavery ques- tion was the cause of the merging of the whig into the republican party. Is it not also fact that in 1844 James K. Polk was elected president on the protection issue, Pennsylvania, the pivotal state, be- ing carried by nominating for vice presi- dent, George M.

The new catalogue of Childs' Business College, just published, is probably un- surpassed by any other school catalogue in the United States. It is replete with information, contains cuts and letters of recommendation from graduates and testi- monials from the business community. Noticeable among the latter are letters from superintendent of schools, Ballet, Prin. Jacobus, also from the leading mer- chants of Springfield. Mr. Childs may we'll feel proud of his school and it's re- suits. The fall term opens Tuesday, Sept. 4th, with the largest class of any year.
