Whilo the committee which had de-
vised this second message VIVA still in
tho telegraph Office another committee
was clamoring for the attention OF the
manager to send another message to the
presidents OF tho roads.

bons, the badges OF the army, in nearly
every button-hole. To the laundering
OF bass drums, they marched up TO
Broadway and over to Bayliss Park. The
streets OF Council Bluffs by this time
were black with yelling, cheering
crowd. Travel in every direction was
almost suspended.
The advance guard OF the shopmen
wore armed with loaves OF bread borne
on the end Of flaustatfs, and the line ap.
peared to be endless. They Joined the
ranks Of the men already arrived and
awaited the result OF tho conference
then in progress.
THE REQUEST DENIED.
It was o'clock before replies woro re.
ceived from the messages to the rail
way presidents, denying the request,
and then the conference between the
citizens committee and the railroad
officials ended.
Tho information that no train would
be furnished was conveyed to the wait
ing thousands who had congregated
about the court house to await the COM
ing OF Chairman Tichenor. When he
announced the result Of tho conference,
1t was greeted with roars OF howls, jeers
aud misses. After making q short ad-
dress, he stated the committee had de-
cided to wait until o'clock, at which
hour, II no train was furnished, one
would be taken and run out to Kelly's
camp, whore his men would bo loaded
on and started on their eastward Jour.
ney. He spoke in strong terms against
violence.

what similar and yet decidedly different
scene was being enacted in the law

About twenty-five women in response
to call issued during the early morn
ing, had collected at Dohaney's opera
house and under tho leadership OF Mr..
Fred Herman went to see Mr. Baldwin.

impossible for him TO act contrary 10
the desires OF the railway officials, to
whose orders no was subject. lie re-
icrrcd tho ladies to the governor. The
ladies succeeded in adding to the gem
cral tumult, but obtained but little sat.
isfaction from the governor. Mrs.
Hermann said she had Just COMPLETED
an organization OF 800 ladies OF Council
Bluffs, aud that il other means to aid
Kolly in his onward march failed, sho
and her followers would tako possession
OF train, seeing that it reached chi
cago. This lady is working in con-
junction with the committee, and is
backed up by the cntire committee.
Sho said that all OF her followers
wcra women, who were wives and
daughters OF tho best people OF tho city,
and that ahe was following out her own
ideas in the matter.
Still another meetiu OF the citizens

KELLY DESERVES CREDIT.
General Kelly lie all the good words

the readers and more. He displayed
tho rarest judgment aud forti.ude to.
night when hG declined to pu. his men
on board train stolen at Council
Bluffs, stolen by tho enginecrs and
firemen OF tho Union Pacific. 1t was
Union Pacific engine with Union
Pacific cars on the Rock Island track.
Kelly declined it, because he said ho

tend to start in here.
Rumors OF the calling out OF
federal troops and state troops,
Of deaths in Kclly's camp. and
Of every conceivable nature kept tho
crowd on a tension hard to understand.
But no disorder unusual ensusd, and
us II by miracle, the clash that seemed
inevitable, was avoided and Kelly's
army slept at camp at Weston.
