THE ARMY IN HIGH FAVOR,
The army is still in high favor with the
people and farmers. There have been
several requests on the part of the
women to join the column, but the gen

ing. lie says it is hard enough to manage
men without attempting TO manage
women.
There are supposed to be several young
women correspondents travelling with
the army. They travel, however, simply
as the other sympathilers do, and do not
take any more part in the camp life than
mere spectators, unless they happen to be
hungry at the time the potatoes are
handed about.
The people are glad to get rid Of the
army and have business with the rail
roads resume. The signs, Railroads for

down. Gen. Kelley has notified the au-

they are imposters The route taken by
the army is along the Rock Island road,
which branches of from the Milwaukee

Trouble is anticipated at Des Moines
among the miners if railroad facilities
are not given the army. Gen. Kelley is as
cool, calm, and considerate as ever, and
hopeful of peaceful journey.
