TROUBLE IN CAMP. Kelly's Industrial Army in Mutiny Over an Objectionable Order of the "General." Fifty of the Men Dismissed and One of the "Colonels" Reduced to the Ranks. Montana Coxeyites Attempt to Cap ture a Northern Pacific Train but Fail. NEOLA, la.. April 24—Kelly's indus try 1 army awoke to find itself in a state of mutiny. The young general promptly r. M- to the occasion and before the imiich eastward was begun a colonel had been stripped of his rank and a company of 50 men dismissed from the s« vice. The first trouble arose during tue night, when Colonel Baker issued oi a. i» contrary to those of Kelly, who had instructed that no man be allowed to leave the camp. Baker told the men that they could leave camp if they wished, and as soon as the bugle aroused the army a conrtmartial was called. The officers declared unanimously iigaiust Baker and he was promptly ex IJelled, much to the satisfaction of the men. During breakfast a more serious trouble occurred. A man in Company of Sacramento quarrelled with a com rade and drew a knife. His opponent promptly seized a club, and, with a. friend, began an energetic belaboring oi* the belligerent. ^V Kelly Appeared on the Soane and ordered the three men transferred to another company. TV'this Company objected, and whetr' the general or dered them into the'ranks, they 'refused to go. "Company C-is disbanded," shouted Kelly. "The men may join other com panies,but must follow orders here after." Matters immediately assumed a threatening aspect. Loud denunciations of Kelly were heard, some of the men openly accusing their commander of ap propriating funds donated to the army to his own use. Colonel Spread, in whose regiment Company belonged, made an appeal for his men, but Kelly was obdurate. Moving the other divis ions forward into town, he ordered a sergeant to call the roll of Company C, and as each man stepped forward, he was asked il he waB willing to join an other company. Officers and men promptly responded that they would go forward as Company or not at all. They were told to pack up their bag gage and leave, which they did. After the excitement attending the incident had subsided, Kelly marshalled his troops, and the murch to Avoca, 18 miles away, was begun. The farmers of the surrounding country had Pr vitled About One Hundred Waguni, and the greater part of the" men were carried. One or two companies were compelled to go afoot, and the deposed coionei, .Baiter, jomea tne ranKs in one of these, along the line of march. The men were vigorously cheered, and every mile or so farmers met the ranks with wagon loads of provisions for the army. The day was bright and warm and good time was made. Dinner was taken in a pretty grove about nine miles from Neola, and the army reached Avoca about on time. The industrials received an ovation as they marched into the town, and were well provided with ra tions. Reports as to the number of men in the army have been conflicting, as on the march many symnathizers marched with the men, and a correct count was impossible. General Kelly showed his roll calls to an Associated Press representative. They showed that 1.8B5 men inarched into Neola, and SO recruits were secured at that place. Many men who have attempted to enlist have been refused, owing to the belief that they were tramps, but Kelly says that be will take 5,000 out of Chicago When he leaves there tor Washington. BLOCKED 'I UK IKAIK. Coxeyltea Attempt t«» (.apture Northern Pacific Train. HELENA, Mon., April 24.—Reports from Butte indicate that serious trouble is expected there with the industrial army. A crowd tried to stop the east bound Northern Pacific train pulling out of the Butte depot, and blocked the track in front of the engine. United States Marshal McDermott mounted the engine, and telling the crowd it they remained on the track it would be at their peril, directed the engineer to pull out. Seeing the engineer was prepared to obey orders the crowd cleared the track and the tram proceeded. The marshal telegrupued the governor the fact and suggested that the militia i.e held in readineBs. Tue governor says he will not call out the nnntia until abso lutely necessary. The condition of affairs is such that the use ot torce should be resorted to an a hnal measure, he says. v.:!

Hardly a person in the church escaped without injury. Thirty were taken out dead. Houses were thrown down in other parts of the village and the money loss was great. Some of the villagers are practically ruined. The total number of deathB thus far reported is 160, but there is scarcely any question that this number will be aug mented when the more remote villages are heard from.

Four Negreei Already Lynched and Fire More Doomed. NEW ORLEANS, April 24.—A State's Vicksburg (Miss.) special says: Four negroes have already paid the penalty for the brutal assassination of Manager Boyce of the Baunne planta tion, in Madison parish on Saturday, and it is not unlikely that several more will have summary justice dealt out to them. Madison parish is situated in the northern part of the state and is torn wide open with excitement. It will be recalled that one of the negroes inculpated in the assassination of Boyce was shot on Saturday after being caught. Judge Lynch held high carnival during the night at Tallulah. A mob gathered in front of the jail, held a conference and decided upon the guilt of cbree men incarcerated in jail. Then the mob went deliberately to work, and with a battering ram, burst in the side of the jail, and forced open the door. Tom Slaughter, Sam Slaxton and Dave Hawkins were led out and swung up to the balustrade of the courthouse until dead. Their bodies were hanging there in the morning. Claxton and his four pals are still in the swamp north of the railroad, between Milliken's Bend road and the river. The hunt is being vigorously pressed, but the dogs could not follow the trail, owing to the cold. The river and all avenues of escape are closely guarded, and the ultimate capture of the five men is only regarded as a question of time. It seems certain that they will be lynched when they are apprehended. ATTEMPTED BANK ROBBEKK Tbey Would H«u Hade a Rich Haul If Not Soared Away* WACO, Tex., April 24.—A daring at tempt was made to rob the National bank during the night. Robbers, evi dently experienced, affected an entrance to an office room adjoining the vault of the bank, and proceeded to tunnel through the thick brick walls into the vault. They had succeeded in making a hole through which a man could pass when the engineer of the bank building, hearing a noise, walked to one of the bank doors and shook it. This scared the robbers away, although the engineer was not aware of their presence, and the result of their operations was not discovered until morning. They evi dently intended to blow open the safe in the .vault, when they would have made a rich haul. '"BEAT* N, TO DEATH, A ftlan Murdered by Tramp* Near Jaoet* ville. Wis. JANESVILLE, WIS., April 24.—Hibert Tisch, a laborer in the town of Fulton, this couuty, was murdered during the night. The body was found near the house in the morning with the head pounded to a pulp and bruises on the hands and arms made by the murderers while defending himself. Tisch got drunk at Edgerton, started home at 7 p. m. and laid down at the side of the road and went to sleep. He slept several hours, got up and started home^ when he was met by the murderers, supposed to be tramps, who pounded him to death with green club. Shot a Strung* Fowl. CHAMBERLAIN, S. D., April24.—While Joseph Dusick, an Aurora county tann er, was hunting along the creek on the Metzer ranch in that county he killed a very fine specimen of water fowl. It was measured and stands five and one half feet high, with a spread of wings of six feet. The plumage, which is very beautiful, is in tour different colors. No one in the vic-iuity knows the name of this strange lowl, although there is lit tle doubt that it belongs to the stork or heron family.

ATHENS, April 2a.—The earthquake a that began at about 7:80 Friday. The Senior Senator From Minnesota ni^iit on tinned with more or less fre- Dontt Tlik„ Canal BilL His Main Objections to the Measure Clearly Stated in a Brief Interview. Uncle Sam'? Navy Unable to Hold It Ten Days Against Foreign Powers. K: per sons were killed. Thd mayor of Lar ymni telegraphs that a heavy shock oc curred at Proskina, while vesper serv ices were being held in the parish church. WASHINGTON, April 28.—It was gen erally understood when Senator Mor gan reported the Nicaragua canal bill, that it did not wholly meet the riews of the committee, especially Senator Davis of Minnesota, who opposed the bill when it was previously before the senate. Senator Davis has not put his objections in the form of a report, and will not do so, but he will probably make~a speech against the bill if it is ever called up. As to this contingency, it is well understood that as long as the -turitf bill is before the senate, there will not be the least possibility of consider ing ihe Nicaragua or any other hill, but when the tariff is out of the way an effort will be made to bring up the Nicaragua bill. "Yes, I expect to make a speech against the bill," said Senator Davis,, "and I will endeavor to point out some reasons why it should not pass. Why should the United States put $100,000, 000 into a caual when we Have Not a Navy to Hold It 10- days against England, Germany, France or Italy. There is another fea ture that ought not to be lost sight of, and that is the fact that vessels are obliged to round Cape Horn. This is a wonderful delense for the United States. It is no small thing to send a navi.l vessel around Cape Horn. If we were to cut a canal 'through to the Pacific, it would be open in times of peace, and as many vessels could be put through as are needed in case trouble was contemplated in the near future. Without the canal, the vessels would be obliged to go around the Horn. With $l,0u0,000 and the immense iron mines on the Pacific coast, we could make a show of defense in a short time, for all •esselB that any nation would care to send around the Horn, but the worst feature of it is that we could not hold the canal, nor could we recover it il was once lost," MR. EL£U MOT COM12VGL Th# Maine Statesman Will Mot Addrtw Minnesota Republicans. WASHINGTON, April 88.—Minnesota Republicans will not., have an oppor tunity to hear Tom-Reed this snmmer. This announcement will carry disap pointmeafto those who heard Major McKihley and wanted an opportunity to compare the two men and to thou sands of others who were unable to hear the apostle of protection. Mr. Reed had been invited to address the Repub licans of Minneapolis in July. Heiii formed a correspondent that, while it would be a great personal pleasure to him to accept the invitation and visit the state and people of whom he had so pleusant a recollection since the last Re publican national convention, it would be impossible for him to do so at the present time. He said that at present it was almost impossible to tell what might transpire here from day to day, and his duty was here. Furthermore, this was but one of many pressing in vitations he had received, and he had been obliged to decline them all and even cancel some which he had ao oepted. ROKOKESSIONAL. Tha 8*nat«. WASHINGTON, April 28.—The reading of the house bill for the protection of birds and game in Yellowstone Park was interrupted in the senate by Mr. Allen (Pop., Neb.) who was desirous of answering Mr. Hawley's speech of Fri day. He was not permitted to do so, however. Before the Yellowstone Park bill was disposed of the-- morning hour expired and Senator' Dolph proceeded with his speech^ The House* WASHINGTON, April 28.—At the con clusion of the morning hour the house resumed consideration ot the diplomatic and consular appropriation bill in com mittee of the whole. At the end of an hour the committee rose, and the re mainder of the day was devoted to eu logies upon the late Senator Gibson of Louisiana. Rales Mot lcely to Chang*. WASHINGTON, April 2a.—Although many propositions are introduced in the senate looking to an amendment of the rules nothing hr.s resulted trom them. At least in the present congress he majority ot the-committee on rules are wholly opposed to any changes, and the Republican members are not liitely ti assist in adopting new rules which would in any way restrict their privi leges and powers. THE LATE PRAIRIE FIRE. Almost Incredible Tale or a Kxther'a Cruelty. EDITOR REPUBLICAN: I desire to correct false reports that are beiug cir culated in relation to the origin of tlm fire that made a dosoiate waste of the beautiful country west and south of Mitchell. These reports were made by ii terested parties for the purpose of shifting the responsibility of the setting of that awful tire. The facts are simply these: Henry Schmidt, the boy who set the fire, resides about sixty or eighty rods from the .school bouse. He has attended the school taught by myself for the past six months, under explici directions from his parents to go home for his dinner and do certain chores, which took him nearly the entire noon hour. The day of the tire Henry went home as usual and did the chores as signed him. About ten minutes before 1 o'clock, Henry not having returned to school, I noticed smoke south of the school house near a culvert in the road. The ground being- lower there and not in sight of the school house, I hastened there and found Henry Schmidt trying to put out the iire. I asked him who started the fire and he said he did. The school children and myself attempted to put out the fire but it had made such headway that we were unable to extin guish it. During this time Mr and Mrs. Schmidt were in the field over a mile away. About an hour after I discov ered the lire Mr. Schmidt, the father of Henry, came and asked who set the fire. Henry replied that he did. Schmidt then took the boy, instead of immediately assisting us in putting out the tire, kicked him and threw him into the blazing fire in the presence of the entire school. So affected by this hor rible act of brutality, Jennie Schmidt was prostrated and lay sick in bed for several days. It is sad to dwell and look upon the blackened ruins resulting from the fire but the throwing of the helpless little boy into the fire, and then kicking him, is so much sadder that the firfanoial loss seems comparatively small. I never, at any time, sent either of Schmidt's children for matches and never, at any time, entrusted them with matches. I dislike to reflect upon the terrible scene at that fire, and the bru tality exhibited there are so indelibly fixed upon my mind as to be incapable of eradication. MARY E. WEST.

The fire alarm about 7 o'clock Sat urday evening was caused by some clothes catching fire from a stove pipe in the home of Mr. Moody on Hanson street. The department turned out in full force but the flames were put out by neighbors before their arrival Mrs. Moody was overcome by the ex citement and fell in a faint for a short time.
