WARMLY WELCOMED BY FARMERS.
Encamped at Nicola After the First Days
March-The People for Miles Around
Turned Out to Welcome Them,
Loaded With PrOvisions-Good
Time Made Along the
Well-Beaten Road.

Nicola, Iowa, April 95.-Kelly and
his industrial army ended their first
days march from Council Bluffs here
at o'clock last evening and immedi-
ately went into camp IN grove just
east of the town. The entry into
Nicola was a triumphal march. Al
most every man, woman and child of
the 1000 inhabitants went out to greet
the army; flags were borne and cheers
lusty as the 1880 tramped down the
towns main street to the strains of
country bands. The stores and va
can't buildings Of this place were
thrown wide open, and the weary men
were offered all available shelter
The little town of Underwood was
reached about noon and a sumptuous
repast served by the enthusiastic vii
layers When the meal was over and
the impromptu speeches done the
march was resumed amid the energetic
cheers of the crowd that was gath
cred. On every hand the deepest
sympathy for Kelly and his men were
expressed and farmers and townsmen
were eager to supply the wants of the
commOnwealers. Nicola is in it to q
man and the action of the railroads
for refusing a train is as violent here
as at Council Bluffs or Omaha. As an
ronical expression OF the feeling re-
garding the calling out Of the Iowa
militia, the citizens here formed a
company of little boys and girls to
greet the advent of the army.
Throughout the day there was no
scene of disturbance or disorder, and
the plan of selling a train has bee n
abandoned. The railroads entering
Council Bluffs will not, however, run
trains in this vicinity until the
army is well off their routes.
General Kelly said that whether the
men ride or walk, they will move
steadily forward to Des Moines. There
the army expects to secure train for
Chicago, and at Chicago the men be-
ieve they will be well provided with
transportation to the East

COLUMBUS, Ohio, April 94.-Presi-
dent Mcbride of the National United
Mine Workers association claims that
kilograms received by him from dis
trict presidents show that 100, 900 coal
miners in various parts of the coun-
try are now on a strike in obedience
to the national order. He declares
that by tomorrow the number will in
crease to $50, 900 and he has hope that
the meL in Kansas, Missouri, Iowa
and Colorado who have refused to quit
work will do so as soon as they learn
positively the magnitude of the move
ment.
The strike so far includes all of the
bituminous min;rs of Pennylvania
and Maryland, and all the men in Ohio
and Central Illinois, part of the men
in Indiana, the miners at Bevier and
Lexington, Mo-, and part of the men
in Southern Illinois and other sections
of the country. So far there has not
been single report of any disturb
ance and the national officers declare
that there will be none. Troubles are
reported in Alabama, but the miners
of that state are not organized under
the United Mine Workers association.
and therefore the order cannot be held
responsible for the disturbances there.
Mcbride gives figures of strikers as
follows: $4,000 in Pennsylvania, !, 300
in Missouri, $4,000 in Ohio, $4,000 in
Illinois, 1000 in the Indian Territory,
1900 in Iowa, and 5000 in Indiana
with l4,300 idle elsewhere.

NOTHING TO DO WITH coxEY.
The Senate by Vote OF Il TO &c De-
feats PETERS Resolution,


WASHINGTON, April 94.-In the SEN
ate to-day Mr. PETER introduced by
request bill ito dispose of idle labor
and discourage idle wealth in the Dis
trict of Columbia. 1t embodies the
principle of taxation of unearned in
crements, the proceeds to be applied
to the employment of idle labor.
Mr.. PETER then sought to take up
his resolution for the appointment of
committee on communication to re-
ceive petitions from Coxeys army, but
his motion was defeated by vote of

Gratis y to &c Democrats 81, Repuhli.
cans 81.
The commissioners of the District of
Colum bia, after long discussion and
consultation with the attorneys of the
district, prepared and gave out man
ifesto which calls attention to the
fact that the right of petition does not
extend to the lengths the "Coxeyites'
appear TO imagine. Those who medi-
tate coming to Washington are
warned that only hardship and priva-
ton awaits them here, and they are
informed that no good can come of
their proposed pilgrimage.

Coxey Cohorts Leave Their Camp at Ha-
gerstown, Nd.

HAeERsTOwY, Nd, April 24.-After
three days stop in this place, the
Coxey cohorts marched on Frederick
this morning.
Browne last night in speaking of the
proposed can p in the arsenal grounds,
said he had concluded that the
grounds around the foot of the Wash
ington monument would be more con-
venient and appropriate, and an
nounced that he would telegraph Col
onel Redstone to make a request for
the grounds on the secretary of war.
Mayor Fleming of Frederick is pre-
pairing a frosty reception for the army.
He has announced that no public
meeting would be allowsd unless in a
hall, and that there shall be no pa
rade on the street. Browne says he
would like to see the mayor stop a
procession of American citizens with
the American flag at its head.
The Sunday services in Camp Naz-
areth were attended by crowd of
$50 persons. Fifty dollars in all were
taken in at the gate. Browne dotted
his boot and sombrero in honor of his
appearance as a minister and put on g
suit of store clothes of clerical black.
His sermon was on his own ideas of
theosophy.

Bridge in Alabama.
BIRMINGHAM, Ala, April 24.-At Tus-
cumbia at midnight Saturday night
Tom Black, John Willis and Tony
Johnson, all negroes, were lynched.
About week ago these men were ar
rested for the burning of the barns of
Claude King. Their arrest was kept
very quiet, for fear of mob violence.
Late Saturday night a masked mob of
200 men went to the Jail and called the
jailer out on a preteXt that they had a
prisoner When he came out the mob
took him in hand and carried him some
distance from the place, where he was
compelled to keep quiet.
They then entered the place forci-
bly,, taking the keeps from the jailers
wife, and entering the cells took the
three negroes out and led them to the
Tennessee river bridge, which is in
the corporate limits of the town.
Ropes were placed about each of the
negroes necks, and with the end tied
to the bridge timoers they were COM
PEELED to jump off. The fall broke
their neeks, and the bodies, after be-
ing filed with bullets, were left
dangling where they hung.

The Murderer Was Bad Man and Had
Killed Thr, Men in Alabama-Iden-
titled by the Dead Mans Widow
Taken From the Officers at
Cherokee by a Mob and
Quickly Strung Up.

CHEROKEE. Kan, April 94.-Fred
Hamar, a coal miner living with his
family near the Schwab mines, two
miles east of here, was killed last
night at his house. He was awakened
at midnight last night by some Ala
bama negro coal miners, who said
that they wanted to get in to procure
some whisky. Haman who, it is said.
had been selling liquor, told them to
go away, as he had no bottles and did
not wish TO open the house at that
hour.
The men outside departed but re-
turned half hour later and broke
open the door. 1wo negroes entered
and with drawn revolvers and razors,
began to search for money. They
broke the drawers off the sewing ma
chine and secured about $50.
Haman ran out in his bare feet TO
get help, but was shot in the throat
and ran about $50 yards and fell where
he was found an hour later dead.
A warrant was sworn out for jeff
Tuggle. a colored N ner, charging him
with murder. He was caught at Weir
City about o'clock this morning and
brought to Cherokee.
A few minutes later Mrs. Haman.
the dead mans wife, accompanied by
score or two of miners arrived and
when the woman was taken before
the prisoner she identified him in
stantly as one of the robbers and it
was all the officers could do to keep
her from assaulting Tuggle. By this
time large crowd of miners had
gathered and loud threats of lynch
ing were INDUCED in.
The officers made hasty prepare
tons to take the prisoner to Girard.
but before they could get him away
the mob captured Tuggle after hand
ling the Off ers roughly. Constable
Malcolm was thrown down and dis
armed. The citizens appeared apa-
thetic and little attempt was made to
assist the officers.
The mob marched Tuggle with a
rope around his neck about half a
mile northwest of town and hung him
to a cottonwood tree until dead.
1t is said that Tuggle was bad
man and that he killed three men in
Alabama.

Three Villages Partially Destroyed and
1919 People Are Killed.
ATHENS, April 2i.-The earthquake
shocks that began about 7:3O o'clock
Friday night continued with more or
less frequency until noon yesterday.
In three villages, Malesina, Proski-
ma and MARITIME, all in the province of
Locris, l29 persons were killed. The
Larymni telegraphs that a heavy
shock occurred at Proskina while
vesper service was being held in
the parish church, The walls of the
church fell burying all the worship
pers in the ruins. 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 is
great. Some of the villagers are
practically ruined.
At Malesina houses tottered and fell
as though built of cardboard. In this
little village 60 persons were killed.
In some cases entire families, fathers,
mothers and children were taken out

WASHINGTON, April 24.-It is not
likely that Congressman Jerry Simp-
son of Kansas, will live longer than
ten days or two weeks, if, indeed. he
lives that long. Death has a strong
hold on him to-day and it will be the
happening almost of the impossible if
his grasp is loosened.
Since Saturday night the sick man
has steadily lost ground. That night
there came a chill Yesterday there
were two and all weakened him great
ly. He has lost all strength and is
utterly unable to rally when the chills
leave him exhausted. He does not
rest well and can eat nothing. A lit
tie milk is administered at intervals,
that being the only nourishment he
receives. His kidney dis ders do not
abate and the inhammatory rheuma-
tism is held in check with difficulty.
His blood is in bad condition and the
poison faint spreads and grows more
dangerous.
Mr.. Simpsons COLLEAGUES are unre-
hitting in their attentions. Some
one of them call nearly every hour,
but no one is admitted to his bedside.
Yesterday Mrs. Simpson, who is worn
out by long vigils and herself filter
for nurses care than to give it so
increasingly, sent for Mr.. Simpsons
sister who is in Chicago.
That Mr. Simpson should have the
remotest chance for recovery, it is
necessary that turn for the better
should occur at once. Unjust partake
of the miraculous, for the patient has
no strength wherewith to support or
maintain it.

KELLY'S ARMY.
Marching Through Iowa ON Foot and
in Wagons.

Nicola. Iowa, April 94.-Last night
Kelly issued orders that none of the
men be allowed to leave the camp.
Colonel" Baker told his men that
they could leave camp if they so de-
sired. In consequence of this Kelly
called a court martial this morning.
This decided unanimously against
Baker and he was expelled from
the camp. During breakfast man
in Company c. from Sacramento
quarrelled with comrade and drew
knife. His opponent seized a club
and with friend began an energetic
belaboring of the belligerent. Kelly
appeared and ordered the three men
transferred to another company. To
this Company c" objected and when
the general" ordered them into the
ranks they refused to 60.
Company c is disbanded," shouted
Kelly. THE men may join other COM
panies but must follow orders here
after"
Denunciations of Kelly were heard,
some of the men openly accusing him
of appropriating funds to his own use.
Colonel" Spnad, in whose regiment
Company c b lHnged, made an appeal
for his men, but Kelly was obdurate.
The men were equally so and the
company was disbanded and its
members expelled. The men followed
the army to Avoca.
The farmers of the surrounding
country had provided about 100 wag-
ons and the greater part of the men
were carried. One or two companies
were compelled to go afoot and Baker
joined the ranks in one of these. The
day was bright and warm and good
time was made. Dinner was taken in
a pretty grove about nine niles from
Nicola and the army" reached Avoca
about on time and were well provided
with rations.

LETTER FROM CLEVELAND.
The President on the Principles of tn,
Democratic Party.

WASHINGTON, April 94.-President
Cleveland has forwarded the follow
ing letter to Hon. Chauncy F. Black,
president of tie National Association
of Democratic clubs:
EXECUTIVE MANSION, WASHINGTON,
D. c., April %, 1s94.-Dear Sir: have
carefully read the communication you
lately placed in my hands, setting
forth the future purposes and present
needs of the National Association Of
Democratic clubs.
The achievements of this organiza-
ton should be familiar to all who are
in favor of the continuation of Demo
cratic supremacy, and should enlist
the encouragement of those who APP
preciate the Importance of any effect
i've dissemination of political doctrine.
Your association has done much by
way of educating our people, touching
the particular subjects which are rec
ognized as belonging to the Demo
cratic faith; but it seems to me its
best service has been an enforcement
and demonstration of the truth that
our party is best organized and most
powerful when it strives for princi-
pies instead of spoils, and that it
quickly responds to the stimulus sup
piled by an enlistment in the peoples
cause.
This acknowledgment of true
Democracy suggests that the national
association of Democratic clubs, and
every other Democratic organization,
should labor increasingly and earnest
ly to save the party in its time of
power and responsibility from the
degradation and disgrace of a failure
to redeem the pledges upon which
our fellow countrymen intrusted us
with the control of their government
All who are charged, on behalf of
the Democratic party, with the re-
demption of these pledges should now
be impressively reminded, that as we
won our way to victory under the ban
ner of tariff reform, so our insistence
upon that principle is the condition of
our retention of the peoples trust;
and that fealty to party organization
demands the subordination of our in
dividual advantages and wishes, and
the putting aside of ignoble jealousies
and chickering's, when party principles
and party integrity and party exist
ence are at stake.
cheerfully inclose a contribution
to the funds necessary to carry on the
good work of your organization, with
hearty wish for its continued sue
cess and usefulness. Yours very
truly, GROVER CLEVELAND.

Morrill, In the Lead.

TOPEKA, Kan, April 24.-The Re-
publicans of Wilson, Douglas, Franklin
and Clark counties elected delegates
Saturday to the state convention and
instructed them to support E. n.
Morrill, for governor. Delegates were
also elected in Stafford, Saline, Scott
and Ford counties, but were not in
structed for anybody for governor.
Wilson county was for Morrill, two
years ago, and on the last ballot, after
it was certain that he had lost, voted
for him.
