J. 5, Coxey is beginning to get the
blues. The people do not seem to be
clambering over each other to get upon
his non-interest bearing bond platform and
he is beginning to lose hope. He said
Tuesday: 81 tell you this country is in
won't do anything to help themselves.
1t seems doubtful whether we will be
able to arouse them from the comatose
state they are in, caused largely by the
sugar coated pills of free trade and pro-
lection" Referring to his circus he said
the outlook was not as bright as some
time ago. 1t was his intention with Carl
Browne to hire a special train and with
the tents he owns and other attractions to
draw crowds, stump the country in favor
of his non-interest bearing bond and i'm
prOvement bills.

AL. Streator, the initiator of the novel
head-end collision which was so much
talked of some time since, said, while in
conversation with n News reporter, that
the plan was meeting with very good sue
cess. Already 81, 600 has been subscribed
and the Canton merchants were respond
ing very literally. 1t certainly will lack
no exciting qualities. As grand sight it
will excel everything in that line yet
thought Of. Plans are not yet completed
but each day sees something accomplished
and the plan will undoubtedly be matured
, very shortly.
, And now there is to be "spring
5 chicken" famine. Poultry raisers all about
are complaining that they can raise no
chicks and epiCures will have to suffer
1t Is asserted that very small percentage
= of the eggs this spring are fertile and
! although plenty are being set, few are
hatched. The cold weather is charged
. with having affected the cockerels to such
] an extent that eggs are not fertile and
I will not h. tch. 1t is estimated that there
I will not be more than one fourth as many
. spring chickens this year as formerly.
