KELLY AT OMAHA.
His Army Beautifully Provided
For There Yesterday.
His Troops Received With Mil
itary Honors.
BREAD, BEEF AND PIES
Distributed to the Army in
Large Quantities.

OMAHA. Neb., April 16--General
Kelly and his 1900 troops spent a
beautiful Sabbath in the enjoymedt of
more of luxury than they have known
since they left home two weeks ago.
The army reached the confines of
Omaha shortly after o'clock The
train was halted at a sidetrack just
inside the city limits Chief Seavey
was there with two platoons of police
under Captains Cormack and Mastyn.
1t had been the intention to disem-
bark the army there in the woods and
have breakfast.
The authorities had provided 2, 800
lOaves of bread and 2, 900 pounds of
cooked beef, while business firm had
given 1000 pies All this vender
was in two box cars which were
quickly attached to the Kelly train,
and then the procession moved on
Chief Seavey had asked General Kelly
to keep his men on the cars, and they
had been kept there Two or three
thousand people had gathered there,
and many crossed to Council Bluffs
with the train.
''Frenchy," the only man in the
army with a uniform, sat on the pilot
of the engine holding a large Amer
lean flag, while from the box cars
we're displayed the national colors
and banners peculiar to the army.
Notices of various kinds were also
displayed At the Union Pacific
transfer yards in Council Bluffs there
was crowd of 1000 or s, 200 people.
Seven companies of militia were
drawn up in line When the train
pulled in a great cheer went up. Both
the citizens and the Kellyites joined
in making the depot sheds rattle with
their yells, while the militia boys
looked rather shamefaced1y at each
OF fhnu xDnTdAra6 Vuh hox
were there. In moment the blank
cts and baggage were tumbled out of
the cars in which the army has
travelled the last six days, and ca mp
was pitched on the open ground about
100 yards from the depot.
Breakfast was soon under way. City
hydrants were opened and faces were
washed with a vigorous haste that de-
noted the zest and relish of cold
water. After breakfast there began
reception which lasted we'll into the
evening. Fully SO, 600 people visited
the camp and mingled with the sol
diers. Kelly's wonderful organization
was never better shown. The discip-
line of the army is as perfect as that
of well drilled regulars.
Much of this is due to the personnel
of the troops, who are mainly intelli-
gent mechanics, with not a few pro-
fessiona1 men thrown in. During the
afternoon public meeting was held
General Kelly and a number of local
labor leaders made speeches
Some speculation as to how the
troops would get away from Council
Bluffs was heard. But at midnight
nothing had been settled.
Many recruits joined the army here,
one new company being formed,
company Z. Contributions of provis-
ions and cash were also literally
made. In one collection taken at the
close of Kelly's speech $1o5.75 was
raised

may say positively that Miss Pollard
will not go on the stage" said Mrs
Mcclellan Brown. While Miss Poll
lard was pupil, Mrs Brown was with
her husband in charge of the Wesleyan
woman's college. She had just re-
turned from We shington where she
testified in the Breckenridge Pollard
case. She said: Miss Pollard had
thea trical offers from $500 to 5000
r. week She was tempted only by
lecture bureau offers, but would not
accept them because they all wished
her to give the story of her life, and
that she will not do. She has young
brother in Washington, a reporter, and
it is her wish to live mOdestiy in fat
or a little house with her brother and
write, and her offers in this line have
been as good accordingly as the other
ones.

carry on the trial there is no doubt
that Mrs. Luke Black burn obtained it

I'd like to be bleak stone wall
That winds near country lanes,
And let the leaves each autumn fall
Around my hard remains
I'D like to be a lofty tree
Upon mountain top,
And let the clouds. so wild and free,
Around me flop and flop.
I'd like to be an ocean bold,
Where fleets of ships might float,
And let the sands of lands untold
Sift down my mammoth throat.
I'd like to be a comet swift,
With heart of fire, to throb
In endless space, and drift and drift
And with the stars hobnob-

I'd like to be just what ann

WASHINGTON, April 17.--Miss Made

son in Washington. Since the out

ridge, as. might have been expected
with woman of her temperament,
the long strain of the trial eliminated
in a nervous prostratiOn. She was
taken last night to the Providence

Ellis of the Episcopal House of
Refuge, who was the constant at
tendant of Miss Pollard during the
trial, and to whom Judge Wilson paid
q beautiful tribute in his plea, was
her companion part of the day. Her
brother. Mr.. J. d. Pollard of. Lexing-
ton, KY, was also with her.
Judge Wilson's defense of the right
of woman to an equal place with man
in the professions was SO appreciated
by many of the Washington ladies
that coterie of them sent to him a
magnificent bunch of La France roses,
which adorned his parlor to-day
They were accompanied by a note
stating they were intended as an ex-
preston of appreciation for his cham
pionship of the cause of woman in the
professions. One of the signers
was Mrs. Dan Waugh, wife of
the Indiana congressman; another
was Miss Louise Lowell, the stenog-
rapher who wrote Colonel Rreckin-
ridges love letters while he was at
the capital, another was Mary Desha,
sister of Colonel Breckinridge's late
wife. The tribute of Miss Desha to
Miss Pollard's lawyer is significant of
the feeling of the relations of the late
Mrs. Breckenridge toward the colonel.
