weather has caused General Kelly to de-
lay his march back to Council Bluffs.
He is waiting to hear the result of eff
w. Ill. nj. Pusey to secure a train for the
army over the Rock Island. He is also
favorably impressed with the suggestion
of Mr.. Edward Rosewater that he secure
teams and make the trip overland to
Washington, and he is already receiving
encouraging responses from the farming
classes TO his appeal for assistance for
this purpose.
Kelly expresses the hope that his
friends in Omaha and Council Bluffs
will strictly observe the law even though
they are laboring under great excite
ment The army has only enough pro-
Visions to last for another meal and then
if relief does not come they will be COM
PEELED to go back to the Bluffs.
Reports from all towns near here are
to the effect that the people have con-
tributed plenty of supplies but have no
means of getting the stuff to the army.
Kelly thinks he will not accept the prop
osition for transportation to Kansas City
by water except as last resort, as it will
not land him any nearer to his desired
destination

the court and was ordered dishonorably
discharged and publicly drummed out of
town.
At II o'clock Gen. Kelly declared that
if transportation was not secured for his
army between now and morning he

MAYoR HARRIsoN oN CoxEYIs0r.

DO Not Bring Masses of People to Topeka
To the Citizens of Topeka:
1t is greatly to be deplored that so
many people are out of employment and
in need of assistance. This condition
seems to be general and exists all over
the country and has a tendency to create
a spirit of unrest and a disposition to try
and better their condition by going to
some other place.
Unemployed people can be much better
cared for at their homes than when con-
gregated in masses which must necessar-
lily result in great hardships and suffer
ing to many of those who leave their
homes and cOngregate among strangers.
1t is hoped that no attempt will be made
to incite the congregating of unemployed
people in our city.
Much hardship and great suffering
has resulted from such gatherings in
other places and to many the army of the
cOmmOnweal becomes a common woe. |
appeal to our citizens to give all the en-
ployment they eau to those who are out
Of work and to render every assistance in
their power to all those who are in need
so as to enable them to remain at their
homes and to quiet any feeling of unrest
and avoid the gathering of unemployed
masses where they cannot be made COM
Portable or supplied with necessary shell
ter and food.
Should any of these travelling masses
of pilgrims from other places gather in
our city. which we earnestly hope may
not occur, l trust that our people will
treat them kindly and aid them in a
speedy departure towards their destina-
nation. L. w. HARRISON, Mayor.

was rapidly Spreading the principles of

his brilliant career was rudtly cut
