CANTON , 0. , March 2C. Contrary to ex
pectations the twenty-five women , wives and
daughter's of people's party men of this city ,
did not turn up at the camp grounds of the
Commonweal army on account of the
weather , anil consequently the men were
obliged to hustle for themselves as far as
their breakfast was concerned. At C o'clock
In the morning the camp was turned Into
n veritable Valley Forge. Small groups of
men could bo seen shivering In every limb ,
trying to obtain shelter from the freezing
blasts which canto from the west. Two-
thirds of the men who started with the
army had taken lodging In the city prison ,
but at an early hour thny began to gather at
the grounds to get their rations. Some
difficulty was experienced In getting men
who could use the cooking utensils to ad
vantage , but finally at the cast side of the
tent gasoline stoves were set up and the
morning meal commenced. The donation ,
which consisted of one do/en boiled hams ,
200 loaves of bread , five bushels of potatoes ,
baked beans and an abundance of other
eatables , were soon utilized , and soon every
body was thoroughly sotlftllcd as far as his
stomach was concerned. Fortunately tlio
abundance of supplies prevented the tramps
from getting Into any altercations.
Many of the men were heard to grumble
about Mr. Coxcy taking lodgings at the host
hotel and were of the opinion that ho should
take a dose of his own medicine. A number
were Interviewed at the city Jail last night
In regard to what they would do In case
provisions were not furnished along the road ,
and each and every one said ho would nuiUo
a' raid on the farmers.
The most noticeable thing was the absence
of anybody to command the much shattered
forces. Carl Brown did not arrive upon
the scene until 10-30 o'clock , when he also
took a room In n prominent hotel. Once
upon the ground his orders to the men were
after the style of a circus tent man , but the
men were slow In obeying orders. Horses
and men , who had bunked together during
tlio night , were huddled In small groups ,
otideavorlng to keep warm while waiting for
( tlio temporary cooks to prepare their break
fast.
fast.At
At 10:30 : preparations were made to get
dinner and camp was struck so that the
army was on the road at 12. Stark Siding ,
ono mile cast of this city , a favorable
, p.ice ) for a rendezvous for tramps , added a
new squad , numbering about fifty , to the
army.
Mr. Coxey , who It Is claimed Is financially
embarrassed , and has been given until
March 28 to settle an Indebtedness of
$24,000 , seems to bo much worried over the
affair , and to verify the rumor , a number of
populists of tlio city have Issued a circular
to the citizens of. the United States asking
them to contribute to help him pay his debt.
i The appeal urges immediate relief for
Mr. Coxcy that ho may lift thu mortgage.
i which wan Incurred through his purchase of
tlio famous horse Acolyte , for which he
, ogrccd to pay $10,000. Contributions made
this morning amounted to $1.50 and the
prospects are not very flattering In this
locality for Coxey's relief.
The Commonweal was on the march
ahortly after noon , fully 200 strong , and ex
pect to arrive at Louisville , 0. , their next
Mop , at ! o'clock.

The company organized In the Eighteenth
ward of this city to meet Coxey has been
disbanded.

Southern Pacific officials have received word
that the United States Industrial army of
700 men was put off the trains at a siding
near Flnlay station on the El Paso division
nnd that trains were run through without
stopping. The "army" broke the lock on
n switch causing the next eastbound train
to take the siding. The men Jumped on
the cars and were taken to Flnlay , where
they were tied up pending orders. The
train will stay there , as the company has

After n llrlrf lllnnnn.
General Experience Eatabrook , one of the
most widely known of Omaha's pioneers ,
passed peacefully away at his residence ,
411 South Seventeenth street , at 3 : < 5 yester
day morning. He had reached the age of 81
years and In a few days wculd have cele
brated the golden annUcrsary of his wedding.
His figure was a familiar ono on the streets
until last Thursday , when he took to his bed
with what the physicians glvo no name , but
Is understood to bo a wearing out of the
vital forces , He was perfectly rational
until Sunday morning and his death was an
peaceful as the Kinking Into sleep of a
child.
General Estabrook traced his descent from
the passengers of the Mayflower , being
eight generations removed from John Aldcn
nnd Prlscllla Mullen. The town of Alden ,
N. Y. , where his ton was born , was named
after his grandfather. Ho was born In Leb
anon , N. H. , In 1813 , and arrived to Omaha
January 23 , 18B5 , uu United States attorney ,
appointed by Franklin Pierce , which office
ho held for four years and nine months.
His earlier years wore passed In eventful
limes. From the New Hampshire farm ,
whore ho was born , ho went first to work
in tils father's sawmill and then obtained n
position ns clerk In the navy yards In Urook-
lyn. Subsequently ho enlisted In the navy ,
but resigned to take tip the practice of law ,
n profession which he followed actively until
a few years ago. In 1851 he was In Wiscon
sin , where ho was elected attorney generai ,
holding the office for two years. Previous
to that time ho had been a member of tlio
Wisconsin constitutional convention.
In Nebraska ho was Identified with most
of the stirring events of early days. In the
spring of 1855 , after his arrival In the state ,
ho was the only member of the bar , nnd on
his motion nil the veteran attorneys of
state and city were admitted , among them
being Messrs. Redlck , Poppletoa and Wake-
ley. He was a member of the constitutional
convention In 1871 and employed by the
committee of manager * to aid In the Im
peachment of Governor David Ilntler , who
was found guilty and turned out of olilco In
June , 1871. From 1867 to I860 he served as
local district attorney. In 1S59 ho was
elected to congress , but after one year's
service a contest resulted In the loss of his
seat , the successful contestant being Samuel
G. Dally. In 1866 he was appointed by the
governor to codify the laws of Nebraska
and by the public printer ho was appointed
to superintend the publication and prepare
the Index.
While employed at this Mr. Estabrook was
with Culver , Page & Hoyno of Chicago , and
whllo there embraced the opportunity to
publish a farm book.
Ho was married at Geneva Lake , WIs. , on
April II , 1811 , to Miss Caroline A. Maxwell ,
daughter of Colonel James Maxwell , a
pioneer of Wlsconsfn and a member of the
legislature of that btate.
The two children left are both well known
not only In Omaha , but over the state.
Henry D. , the i/on , Is a practicing attorney
and ono of the best known of the young
orators of the state. The daughter , Caroline
line Augusta , Is the wife of Hon. R. C.

Illds for the six little cottages In Riverside
park were not openedat the meeting of the
park board yesterday afternoon , as Secretary
Doane had been Informed by City Attorney
Connell that the occupants , through over
sight , had not been made parties to the con
demnation proceedings and notified to vacate.
This fact would make the sale of the buildIngs -
Ings Illegal , as the board has not yet secured
legal possession , As soon as the board gets
possession the buildings will bo rcadvcrtlncd
for sale. A number of the people who have
been living In these houses were present at
the meeting.
Two petitions were presented In regard to
the route of the southeast boulevard. One
referred to the mooting held by Interested
parties on Saturday night at Tenth and Han-
croft street and asked that the rottto of the
boulevard he cjianged In a manner that has
been outlined In The Ueo. Mr. S. J. Gordon
ppoko In behalf of the proposed change from
the original route. Ho admitted that the
change would bo a benefit to the property
owners who had signed the petition , but , In
addition to this , his rotito was fully as pic
turesque and would cost the taxpayers con
siderably less. The line Mr. Gorddn sup.
ported commences between Eighth and Ninth
streets on Dancroft , and almost parallels
the original route. Ills chief points were
that this route would glvo n 200-foot boule
vard Instead of a 100 , would save the tax
payers $10,000 and would glvo employment
to n largo number of laborers while the same
waa being constructed. Ho contended that
no litigation would follow If his route was
agreed upon , whllo. If the other route Is
established. It would be different. His pe
tition for a change was signed by Charles
Kaufman , Herman Kountzo and others.
Mr. Charles Elgutter spoke In boh.ilf of the
original route. He said that the southsldrra
wanted the very best and mose picturesque
route that could he established. Ho be
lieved that the board had already selected
such a route , and that the majority of the
people living In that locality and owning
property there wore of the same opinion. It
was not a question with him -as to which
route would benefit his property moat , he
wanted the very best and most sightly louto
for the boulevard.
Mr. Patrick and one or two others spoke
for and against the proposed change , and
Dr. Miller announced that on Wednesday
morning next the members of the board
would meet at the corner of Tenth and nan-
croft streets and go over both routes. If any
new suggestions had arisen since the time
the board made Its original selection , ho was
certain that the members of the commis
sion would willingly entertain them and see
that Justice was meted out to all parties
who are Interested.
The proposed change In the route of the
southwest boulevard was then taken up. In
a communication , Mr. Crelghton offered to
donate 100 feet on one side of the roadway
from Thirty-second avenue south of Martha
to Arbor If Mr. Kyman would donate 100
feet on the opposite side. Mr. Lyman said
ho would , In so farias the property extended ,
and It Is quite likely that this arrangement
will be consummated In the end.

THO distinguished arrivals at the Paxtot
are Carl Buetiz , imperial general consul fo
Germany , with headquarters nt Chicago , and
C. Hiiller , nn attache of the German legation
These gentlemen are making ft tour of th
western consulate circuit. Consul Genera
Btienz said :
"You will not see much German Immlgra
tlon to the United States within the nex
year. There has been a perceptible decrease
of late , due In a largo measure to the exIstence
Istenco of an Improved condition of labor a
home , which could not bo bettered by Im
migration to another country. Germans rn
lertnln a high regard for America , but wll
let well enough alone. The prosperity o
Germany has been greatly Increased by n
broader policy on foiclgn affairs and the ex
tension of commercial treaties. Times li
Germany have been materially Improvci
since the widening of commercial relations
with other countries and a humane consld
oration for the condition of the working
classes.
"It Is not generally known that an Insurance
anco against destitution exists In Germany
The worklngman pays one-third of a pre
mlum to Insure himself and his family
against sickness , accident , Incapacity of oh
age , etc. HU employer also pays one-thin
and the government pays the other so the
workman Is thus practically penslonei
against abject poverty. This plan has beet
the cause of checking a large amount o
Immigration. Wages arc lower In Germany
than they are here , but the cost of living is
cheaper.
"The removal of restriction against Ameri
can pork has proved beneficial to the em
pire. The recent tieaty with Russia Is at
Indication of the good feeling that exists
between the czar and Emperor William
The people In Germany do not attach nn >
significance to the recent demonstrations
In France , when the Russian naval officers
were dined wlncd and worshiped by
Parisians.
"The recent reconciliation between Em
peror William and Bismarck was received
with popular approval by the people. The
emperor Is highly esteemed by the masses
and all talk of a socialistic revolt is totally
unfounded. It Is only the work of a few
Irresponsible agitators. Germany , I am
happy to Elate , has a protective tariff which
fosters tlio industries of that great empire.
The monetary problem has recently occu
pied the attention of the government. It Is
clearly evident that some legislation , doubt
less favorable to sliver Interests , will soon
be enacted. A committee has' been ap
pointed and will report on the subject to the
Reichstag. What the latter will do I can
not definitely state , but the members of the
committee are loyal to the goxernmcnt pol
icy and the majority of the committee are ,
to my knowledge , strong advocates of silver
Interests. I have no doubt that this com
mittee will report favorably for flee coinage
of silver or an Increase In coinage of the
white metal. It U evident that the country
needs more silver. From sentiment I have
heard expressed on the subject , I have every
reason to believe that another International
monetary conference will be held in the near
future and that Germany will be ably rep
resented up"n that occasion. "

II. C. Eddy , the agent of the Western
Electric company , said to a reporter yes
terday : "It has been reported that I nm
hero in the interest of the Western Electric
company as a prospective bidder under the *
ordinance iproposed .some few nights since.
I desire to state In this connection that I
am not here for that purpose , and that in
my opinion there Is no electrical company
which would build a plant and operate the
fl.amo under the provisions of the new
ordinance. The lestrlctlons that nrc placed
therein apply only to n new company and
would make It about Impossible to Intrust
any capital In the pioject. The ordinance ,
ns It stands , grants permission to Install
and operate nn electric light plant for such
length of time us the council may dictate.
It futther imposes obligations as to the
manner of constructing the plant , which
would make , the Installation a very costly
one. 1 am very sure tlmt no company
will cnie to operate under the terms of any
such general franchise , especially ns the
provisions do not apply to the company
now In thP Held , the hitter being protected
by previous ordinances and Its own fran
chise.
"I urn here ns a representative of the
Western Electric company , to sell apparatus
If possible. "

Isn't that $2.50 combination suit a daxzlcr ?
A year agfo the same suit or rather the same
cloth and trimmings with but one pair of pants ,
retailed over the counters of tlie-princip.il clothiers
of the land at $4.00 now with 2 pairs ol" pants at
$2.50. It shows what fruit scheming- and small
profits will yield.
And that is the suit we'll sacrifice for Easter.
Another brilliant value is our blue tricot suit at
$3.90 it's a splendid purchase at even $5.50 ( the
usual price , ) It's a neat and dressy garment ,
couldn't find a more appropriate' thing for confir
mation fixngs | ,
If you are not particularly interested in that
tricot cloth
We can no doubt interest you in finer fabrics
clay worsteds receive the call nowadays. We
have 'cm as good as the best , with charges not quite
so steep as others believe.
Don't you think a spring- overcoat a sensible
Easter treat ?
We offer spring- overcoats that are ornamental
and useful for but several dollars 'tis cheaper
upon word than catching cold. Useless to preface
regarding quality or quantity you know the Ne
braska does nothing by halves rest assured we ex
hibit everything that's new without much ado from
a simple chill defying coat up to the bon-ton
advance styles for fall ' 94 called "Paddock"
which are exhibited in one of our show windows.
