Cen. COXEY HAS
BRAND new idea
WILL BUILD BIG TENT FOR PUR-
POSE OF EDUCATING THE
PEoPLE HIS WAY.

Philadelphia, Oct. 16.- Gen. James
8. Coxey Of Coxey's army fame,
groomed like millionaire and feeling
like one, as he stated, arrived In this
city yesterday morning, and, for the
first time made public the details Of
his future plans for the education Of
the people.
Incidentally the Mount Vernon, O.,
leader said, flush! tush!" when ques-
toned about the march on Washing
ton and congress of Coxey's army In
1894. He declared that in his coming
campaign he would depend on no as
sistants, but would wage and win the
fight single-handed.
Soon after his arrival he strobe
into the Belevue.Stratford and regis
tered, stating that he did not wish Il
room but wanted people to know that
he was in the city. His appearance
created some excitement.
Plans Big Circus Tent.
He announced to reporters: IT am
going to have big circus tent which
will seat from ten to fifteen thousand
persons. and with 1t will tour the
country, educating the people on the
great questions before the public
eye"
"Will you enlist or recruit second

one of the reporters questioned
'"Tush! Tush!" responded the gem
eral There will be no army In this
campaign. will do all the ordering
and will carry out the orders. In other
words, will conduct the fight single.
handed.
My contention this time will DO
that the people should own all the
public utilities. This country knows
enough about producing, but does not
know how to distribute You all know
that this country Is the greatest place
On earth. Well. with the people in con
troll OF the public utilities, it will be
twice as good. will urge and demand
a government bond issue. All money
then will be handed out down at
Washington and cities and towns will
not have to pay big interest on loans.
The interest ordinarily paid, I de.
clare, with my Ian in vogue, will go
toward wiping out the principal Of the
loan."s
To Disclose Plans Later.
General Coxey would not outline
the plan, saying that he would dis
close it for the first time when the
lecture was begun.
II can illustrate my plan by a loan
right in your city, the general con.
tinued. II understand that a loan OF
$5,000.000 is needed for school OF
board Of education purposes. With my
plan in use the mayor or city council
could apply to the government for a
loan and secure 1t by paying per cent
interest for the printing Of the bonds
and notes and expenses entailed
Then the city could levy a tax to pay
the interest. which would be devoted
for payment of the principal.
II propose to set out with my tent
in the early spring. At that time |
am reasonably sure every level mind.

CITY oVERsToCKEo WITH CASH
Money in Treasury Is Becoming !
Veritable Drug.

Crystal Falls, Mich.-Crystal Falls
is Growing over other towns in the
upper peninsula. for the latter have a
hard time making both ends meet and
they often borrow money to tide the
municipality over until the annual
collections have been made.
Crystal Falls city is so loaded with
money that the surplus funds are be-
coming veritable nuisance and the
council has decided to invest $1,000
of the money, putting it into circula-
ton instead of allowing it to lie idle
in the hands of the treasurer.
The annual report of the treasurer
showed balance on hand of about
$4,000 over and above all outstanding
orders. AS the time for the collection
of taxes is at hand the funds in hand
will be increased very shortly bv an
other sl0,OO0.
The sewer work is all paid for and
the suspension of operations has elm
mated the demand for money from
that source until next spring. The
treasurer has been instructed to Mace
the money at interest wherever the

FRANCE HAS 100000 Hosogs.
Army of $4,000 Rural Guards Found
insufficient to Curb Them.

Paris.-An investigation Just ended
by the ministry Of the interior has re.
vealed the fact that in, France there
are at least 100000 tramps. Against
this horde of regular tramps the gov
ernment has opposed a regiment of 80,
900 rural guards whose duty it is to
protect life and property in the coun-
try.
1t is proposed to increase the num-
ber of rural guards so as to check va
grancy. 4 request from all the de-
partments of France brought 20 re-
plies, which go T. show that the mu-
inequalities of tHose departments pro-
vided night lodgings for 10000 per-
sons last year
In the $4,000 municipalities Of
France, however, there are to be
found only 5000 night refugees and in
many places the tramps cannot be
arrested because there is no place to
impTisOn ther,. During last year 32,-
900 tramps were arrested, but about
10000 of them could not be held be-
cause of lack OF evidence to prove a
crime.

man diseases, hR. none more curious
than the trouble affecting Merino and
Africander sheep and Angora goats
in which the heads and ears of the
animals swell to grotesquc size. final

of which or its cause is not .ecog-
nized, is known chiefly by its Dutch
name, "geel dllEop." which trans
lated means yellow thickhead.
The trouble usually appears in herds
which have been grazing on low land
and is particularly prevalent after
heavy rainfall, though what relation
this may have to the disease is a mys-

HEADS LIST IN BUCKEYE STATE.
Columbus Man Says He Was First to
Enlist in Ohio at Call of Lincoln.

Columbus 1t now develops that
Major Henry NJ Neil of this city was
the first man TO be enlisted in Ohio
under the call for troops by President
Lincoln for the civil war.
Major Neil has never spoken OF his
distinction until now. The Major SAYS
that when the message came from
Lincoln for the quota he was in Gov
ernOr William DennisOn's office.
The governor, who was his brother
in-law, related the contents of the
telegram. and Major Neil followed by
saying that he could be counted on
and desired to be the first man en-
rolled. When Lieutenant Bob" VIII
liams arrived from Washington that
night to recruit soldiers he swore Ma
jor Neil in as a private.
Neil served in the short service and
was mustered cut in 1864, after COM
manding a battery he had raised. This
honor of being the first Ohioan to en-.
list has always been credited to Lorin
Andrews of Ashland, who died in Sep
tember, 1861.
