Poem No. 3.

 

There is a store on Water street,
Across from the lumber dock,

Where men of every nation come to trade,
'From Rome to Plymouth. Rock.

And why 3 because the people know
There’s money saved in buying ;
Can’t do so we‘llat other stores,
And there’s no use of trying.

So while times are hard and money scarce,
The people will keep coming,

Where polite attention all receive,
And business just a “ humming.”

Stranger, drop in and look around,
No matter what your “ fix,”

You’ll surely buy before you leave
At Water street Market, No. 6.

It cannot be too
Widely Understood:

That while it. is perfectly true we
supply many of the. most wealthy
residents of New York and vicinity
with everything their children need
to wear. '

It is also true,

We carry an almost endless variety
of Dresses, Suits, Hats, Caps, Millin-
ery, Shoes, etc., the prices of which
are easily within the reach of those in
moderate circumstances.

At the same time, these low priced
goods are distinguished in design,
make-up and finish, by the good taste
and superior workmanship peculiar
to the Liliputian Bazaar.

These facts are easily demonstrated,
either by a personal visit, or by an
experiment in shopping through the

cation, and there is nothing pub-
lished, of more interest to mothers.

COXEYITES ClPTURED.

 

Hogan’s Commonwealers ’Sui‘rendei ‘

to United States Troops.

THERE WAS N0 BLOODSHBD.

Members of Corey‘s Own Army Indulge In
a Fist Fight and Shooting Scrape.
Kelly \Vants to Organize a Base—
ball Club Among His Men.

 

New YORK, April 2T.—Advices from St.

‘Paul confirm the report that the Hogan

contingent from Butte, Mon, have been
captured at Forsyth. The troops from

'Fort Keogh arrested them about midnight.

The prisoners number about 500.

As soon as this news was received by
Lawyer James McNaught, counsel for
the Northern Pacific Railroad company in
this city, he immediately Wired to Lawyer
J. H. Mitchell, J r., at St. Paul, and Messrs.

Cullen and Toole, Helena, rMon., to pro-'

ceed against the prisoners before United
States Judge Knowles for contempt ol
cOurt, and also prefer charges of grand
larceny against them for stealing the com-
pany’s train. Mr. McNaught also instruct-
ed the western lawyers to prefer charges
of conspiracy under the laws of Montana
against the “mob” and a charge of feloni-
ous assault based on the fact of their firing
on deputy United States marshals.

The Portland (Or.) contingent is said to
have camped last night at Trout Creek,
near Portland, and they threatened to
seize sufficient rolling stock and engines to
bring them east. The contingent from
Spokane Falls is expected to arrive at
Hauser Junction, north Idaho, shortly.
The marshals of “'ashington, Ida., claim
to have sufficient force to prevent the
mob getting very far with any train they
may seize. Governor Rickarts of Montana
requested transportation for the state mili-
tia, and the Northern Pacific complied
with his request today. '

 

 

How It 'tVas Done.
Fonsrrnn, Mon, April Eli—The strong
band of the law has reached out and seized
the Montana army of the commonweal.

' The army, 650 strong, came in here from

the west at 10:45 last night. Its leaders
gave it out that the train would remain in
Forsythe until morning. At 11:30, how.
ever, the engineer went to the’roundhouse
and proceeded to take out a fresh engine
and prepare for the trip eastward.

' In the meantime Colonel Page of Fort
Keogh had secured a special train and
was thundering down the road to meet the
train stealing contingent. . He came into
Forsythe'shortly after midnight a'nd found
a large part of the Coxey army asleep in
box cars. The surprise was so complete
that the Coxeyites gave up without a
struggle.

The troops left most of the men aboard.
‘the train and surrounded it. The capture

Was efiected by a‘company of 250 infantry-
men. Nothing definite is known as to
what, will be done with the commonweal-
ers, but it is supposed eight or ten.of the
leaders will be taken back to Butte to
morrow and the other men set at liberty.

The Hogan army was so surprised at

the prompt maneuvering of the regulars
"that the leaders capitulated and were tak-

en into custody without trouble. There

“has‘been no bloodshed, and none, is ex-
pected. ‘ ' "

 

News of Kelly’s Army.

ANITA, 1a., April 27.—Kelly’s army
reached Anita today and dined after a
march of 14 miles from Atlantic. The
start was made under less propitious cir-
One hundred and
forty teams had been promised by the At-
lantic committee, but not more than 20
Kelly delayed his

departure for some time. At last he or-

‘ dered his column forward, and the army

moved out of the fair grounds and started
over the hilly and dusty road on the twen-
ty-one mile tramp to Adair. There was a
notable lack of the enthusiasm among the
townspeople which has previously attend-
ed the army’s breaking camp and a. dearth
of cheers and tigers. The day was beauti-
fully bright and warm, and good time was
made by the marching men. .
Despite the unfavorable conditions .un-
der which he began his march, Kelly was
smiling and happy today, for after almost
a. week of internal disseusions the army

. was united, and the men had ceased their

quarreling. Even Company C of Sacra-
mento, which last night refused to be con-
ciliated, swung into line and cheered for
Kelly. The young commander had again
been victorious and felt more secure in his
position as leader than at any time since
The men became
convinced at Atlantic that their only hope
for aid from the citizens was in following
Kelly, and many of those who yesterday
cursed Kelly long and loud today cheered
the leader and swore eternal fidelity to his
banner and the cause.

Kelly, who since his enlistment in the
army has developed a choice collection 01
former professions and vocations, increased
his list today when his brother-in-law
stated that the leader was once a profes-
sional baseball player. He was, his rela-
tive said, a player in a western league for
a time, and later played in the field for St
Louis when the latter club was in the
American association. Kelly still prides
himself on his fieetuess of foot and strength

'of limb, and ‘is endeavoring to organize an

army baseball club to play the tlown clubs
along the line of march. ~

Shooting Scrape Among the “Soldiers."

FREDERICK, Md, April 27.—Thc common-
weal army, after spending two very peace
ful days in Frederick, celebrated the eve
of their departure by a free fight and
shooting scrape. The army was depleted
by four members, but no one was hurt.
At midnight a party of Hungarians, a part
of the 35 recruits taken in here, who had
been drinking during the day, came tr.
blows around one of the camp fires. One
man was knocked into the fire, but rolled
out immediately, and pulling a. gun began
shooting. The police, who had been post
ed near in case of trouble, scattered the
crowd, but captured only one man, who
refused to give any name but "Jack the
Ripper.” He was sentenced under that
name this morning to 10 days in the work-
house. Three of the other men took to the
woods and have not been heard from.

The exit of the Coxeyites from the town
this morning was a triumphal one in spite
of the night’s disturbance. Ten of the
mounted [deputies escorted the party to
the county line, and the Independent drum
corps that had escorted the commonWeal
were also with them, playing, “Maryland,
My anryland,” while. the commonweal
band joined in at intervals. The army
will march to Urbano, where a halt will
be made fer dinner, and then will push on

The Situation In Tacoma.

TACOMA, April flit—Considerable appre-
hension has existed here in regard to the
industrial army movement. It was fear—
ed that the army from Tacoma and Se-
attle, which will center at Meekerduuc-
tion in a few days, would seize a th1n and
cause trouble. Prompt action on the part
of the federal authorities has done much
to dispel this fear. About 50 deputy mar-
shals have been sworn in by orders from
the circuit judge. Fourteen were sent to
Meeker Junction, and the rest placed
about the depot yards and at the carshops.

The federal authorities announce that they .

can secure force enough to prevent tlr:
army getting out of the state with a stolen
train.

Northwestern Industrials Start.

SEATTLE, \Vash., April 27,—The north-
western industrial army, 160 strong,

Were packed with people to see them de-
part. They marched through Seattle, four
miles, and camped for the night in a-
church and several deserted store build-
ings. Commander Shepard says the men
will be marched to Puynllup, 30 miles dis~
taut on the Northern Pacific, where he
says a train will be taken. He refuses to
tell how he expects to get the train and ad-
mits that the Northern Pacific refused to
give him one. ‘

Few Recruits From Buflhlo.

BUFFALO, April 27.——It is doubtful if
Coxey will have a dozen recruits from

contingent was not a success. When the

tempt to capture a train to take them east.
