TAKEN TO MONTGOMERY.

The two men, who gave their names
rs Joe and Fred Reynolds and the
woman who was with them and who
claimed to be the wife of Joe Rey-
nolds, who were arrested in this city
Tuesday afternoon, are perhaps not so
happy now as they Tuesday
noon, when they INDUCED in several
Scans" of beer while passing through
town in their covered wagon.
The men were taken to Montgomery
county Tuesday night and are now
enjoying themselves as guests of
Sheriff Sturgeon, of that county,
while the woman is still visiting Sher-
if Stephens at his home on Promen-
ade street. She will probably go from
there to Jefferson City, and if fate is
kind and everything works out right
she may have the pleasure of meeting
her husband and brother-in-law in the
romantic stone building which over
looks the Missouri River at the State
Capital.
Sheriff Sturgeon, of Montgomery
county, accompanied by J. K. Rodg-
ers, of the same county, who resides
about three miles southeast of Mont
gomery City, and from whose house a
number of pieces of clothing and
wearing apparel were stolen while the
family were at church Sunday norm
ing, came up on the Accommodation
Tuesday evening and proceeded at
once to the Jail, where Mr.. Rodgers
at once Unidentified everything that had
been stolen from his house. All the
missing articles were found except
one pair of trousers.
A State warrant was Immediately
obtained charging the two with burg
larry and larceny and they were taken
to Montgomery City, where they will
be granted a preliminary examination
aud in all probability be bound over
to await the action of the Grand Jury,
City and a long visit there are ex-
ceedingly bright.
The woman who made such a des-
perate effort to steal Miss Julia Cor
ner's bicycle, but who was overtaken
by Miss Corners brother, who secured
the wheel, was to have had a prelimi-
nary examination before Squire Win
scott at 1 O'Clock this afternoon, but il
was waived on motion of her lawyer
and she was placed under bond in the
sum of $40O. AS there was no one to
60 her security she will remain in jai
until her case comes up before the
Grand Jury next week.
;, A thorough search of the wagon by
several officers failed to bring to light
any fire arms or weapons of any kind
Among other things was found the
marriage license of Mr.. and Mrs. JOE
Reynolds. According to this hymenea
document she was Miss Ida Hoober
of Arkansas City, Kas., and the we'd
ding took place somewhere in the
State of Illinois on June is, 1895. Sac
it is that they should be separated sc
} soon, but such is life $50 people say.

BARRIERS,
Appropriation for Their Construc-
tion Discussed by CALIFORNIA;
Delegation.
An Understanding Arrived At Which
Will Be Satisfactory to All
Concerned.

WASHINGTON, D. c., April s.-The
California delegation held meeting to-
day for the purpose of considering certain
amendments to the appropriation for the
restraining barriers proposed by Robert T.
Devlin, who is here representing the Anti
Debris Association of California.
Mr.. Devlin addressed the delegation at
length and urged upon them the addition
of provision expressly limiting the pur-
pose of the proposed appropriation to the
construction of works for the detention of
detritus now in the canyons, and further
provision TO the effect that no works need
be constructed if the engineers ia charge
deem them unnecessary under present
conditions.
Mr.. Devlin explained that he was op-
posed to the appropriation altogether, but
upon ascertaining the condition of affairs
here he had concluded to abandon his op-
position to the appropriation as whole
and confine his efforts to an attempt to
secure the changes above noted.
Tirey l.. Ford followed Mr.. DevlIn and
showed that the amendments suggested
by Mr.. Devlin would, IN effect, change the
terms OF the Caminetti act and would thus
be step in the direction of undoing what
Congress had already done.
After considerable discussion the dele
cation concluded to reject Mr.. Devlin's
amendments, but practically agreed upon
modifying the language of the appropria-
ton so that the same should read as fol-
lows:
"For the construction of restraining
barriers for the protection of th- Sacra-
mento and Feather rivers in California,
$3.50, 600; such restraining barriers to be
constructed under the direction of the
Secretary Of War, in accordance with the
recommendations of the California Debris
Commission"
Mr.. Devlin seemed inclined to accept this
modification as the best he could secure.
and Mr.. Ford, while declining to commit
himself finally upon the matter until ne
could hear from California, is understood
to be personally satisfied with the change
in language. There seems to be no ques-
the sole remaining question being as to
the language in which it shall be Clothed.

BALl|NGTON AND MAUD,
The Volunteer Commanders Ad.
dress Two Immense Audi.
ences at Chicago.
Eva Booth Does Not Anticipate Many
Desertions From the Regular
SalvationiStS.

CHICAGO, ILL, April 8.-Willard Hall,
in the Woman's Temple, was jammed at
noon to-day with people who came to hear
Ballington and Maud Booth, the COM
manders OF the Volunteers, they having
been invited by the W. c. 7. U. to address
the usual noon hour meeting. The motto
of his address was, "Our God. Our Country
and Our Work" He was followed by
Mrs. Booth, and the hearts of those who
crushed to see and hear the noted Saliva
tionists were touched by her tenderness
and pathos. No reference was made to
the old army.
Although apparently wearied by their
exertions since leaving New York, the
commander and his wife addressed an
other immense audience tonight at the
Oakland Methodist Church.
Miss Eva Booth was in a happy mood
when seen at the Salvation Army head
quarters this morning and spoke uncon-
cernedly of the Ballineton Booth demon
stration at the Auditorium. II think
there were few of our soldiers at that
meeting" she said, .'but If any of our
officers join the new movement it will be
only the weaker ones. We are receiving z
reports from all parts of the country
which indicate that the old army will
stand true to the colors. I will leave for
England next week"
Miss Booth will remain here until Com
mander and Mrs. Booth-Tucker arrive
next Saturday and until the new brigadier
of the Northwest division assumes charge.
At the Volunteers headquarters the
claim was made that 800 SaIvationists had
Joined the Volunteers from this division
alone. They will be organized into corps
near the old army halls in all parts OF the
city. Colonel Fielding will assume charge
of the division tomorrow.
When Commander Booth was shown a
dispatch from New York alleging recon-
ciliation he said it was all bosh.
