Proclamation.
EXECUTIVE OFFICE

1ICS 4NOibCS, IcO. =, 1904.
l am advised by numerous letters
from sources deemed reliable, that large
numbers of men qualified for military
duty, are preparing to depart at al
early day, beyond the Missouri. 1t is
useless to disguise the plain object Of
this sudden hegira westward, in the
midst Of winter, and months in advance
Of the season at which vegetation ap.
pears on the plains.
None other than reasons of most
extraordinary character, could induce
men to have comfortable homes in the
midst of plenty, at a season so unpro-
pi,ious, to incur The privations incident
to a journey across an unsettled and
barren country. Men who are capable
Of an undertaking so arduous, and able
to delve in the gold mines Of Colorado,
Nevada, and Idaho would make excel
lent material for filling up the wasted
ranks Of the Union Army. Such men
are abundan,ly able to shoulder their
muskets and perform soldiers duties.
The imperative demands of the pub.
lie service are paramount to all private
or personal considerations While men
are required from Iowa, to supply the
Army. we have none to spare for gold
hunting in the Rocky Mountains. or the
valleys beyond. Those who have so
far, during this great struggle. avoided
the stern demands Of patriotic duty,
and now attempt to skulk away; can.
not be allowed to leave the State until
our obligations to the General Govern
mcnt are fully and honorably discharg
ed.
If this unreasonable departure be
prompted by a solicitudc to avoid the
impending draft, their purpose can be
more honorably accomplished by re
manning at home, using the necessary
means and exerting their influence to
induce others to volunteer, or by vol.
unteering themselves.
Believing that gross injustice would
be done to our earnest and patriotic
citizens both at home and in the field,
by allowing this exodus 10 take place,
and that the necessities Of the occasion
require this intervention. thereby for
bid all citizens Of Iowa removing be-
You'd the limits Of the State, before The
10Th day Of March next.
Provost Marshals will lie instructed
| by proper an ,ho'i'v to cooperate with
me in making this Proclamation effec
tive; and military commanders along
the Missouri, arc respectfully requested
to place sufficient guards Of soldiers at
all the crossings of that river, between
Leayenworth and Sioux City to enforce
its proper execution.
No person will be permitted to leave
the St.fc, in that direction, without a
proper pass from the Provost Marshal
Of the District in which he claims to
reside; and passes will be granted to
those only WHO make satisfactory proof
that they arc going out Of the State for
temporary purpose, and Of their in
tcntion to return and be in the State on
the said 10th day of March.
