deep valleys. A halt was made for ten
minutes rest mt Clarksbury. In response

STUART, Ia, April 2S.-Gcneral Kelly
announces shat he viii make forced
march of forty-ons miles to Des Moines to-
day and that be intends to be there tomor-
row though the heavens fall. The fact
that the working men will be at liberty on
that dag and can meet with him and his

The army cannot reach the state capital
before or O'Clock tomorrow morning
and it Is probable that the twenty hour
march win lsaSe many Of the men BY tho
wayside. - ioa :
They Struggled Into Stuart.
The industrials presented solid front
when they mnrched into Stuart at 6
o'clock Last nigh, but there were not more
than 500 men In the column which fol-
lowed Kelly's prancing black charger.
The remaining 400 came struggling iu for
hours on foot, wagons, the railroad track.
and on the wagon road. The march was
one Of the most trying experienced yet.
Scarcely enough wagons to carry the bag
gage and couimissary were in line, and
bat few OF the men secured any dinner.
The pleas Of the advance agents for teams
and provisions fell on dull ears and steely
hearts and tue commissary received but
few additions.
No Trouble with the Railways.
The anticipated trouble with the rail-
road officials did not arrive, and the swarm
Of railroad detectives spent the day in
peace and quiet. But few stragglers at
tempted to steal rides, and the leo from
Sacramento who vowed to take a train
were subdued and meek, walking the en-
tire distance. The feeling against the Pink
'erton men is growing in the army, and
every new arrival is looked upon with sus-
picion, the railroad men being particularly
marked for threats and enmity.
Better Outlook Ahead.
The railroad officials assert that they
have no PinkertOus in their employ, but
the men do not believe them and every in
dustrial has turned detective, searching
for spies. Despite the discouraginy day.
Kelly is more confident than ever and as
serts alphabetically that he will he given a
train at Des Moines. The men were we'll
led by the Stuart people and though tired,
are apparently we'll satisfied. Eighty
teams were promised from here for today's
march, and fifty are promised at Dexter.
Provisions, too. will be plentiful along the
route, If promises are fulfilled. Kelly cor
tiuues to receive encouraging messages
from General Weaver and other Des
Moircs people.

WHAT A ROMANCE.
The Old Capital OF Proud Southern
State Sold to nm ex-Slave.

The Old Capital OF Proud Southern
State Sold to an ex-slave.
Alabama's old capital, the city
Cahaba, was sold the other day at
auction for $3.50. In old days Cahaba
held its head high. 1t had grand in
augural fetes Great streets we're laid
out in the pine groves and large docks
We're erected. A Governors mansion
was built and daily paper started.
Fine dwellings shot up as in night.
Brick stores arose as if by magic. A
metropolitan air sat upon the woodland
capital, 1t vaunted itself proudly, and
spoke in friendly and understanding
interest Of the decay of neighboring
towns and villages :,
The tOwn-lot Spectator fastened
himself upon the community. He laid
out the pine groves into lots and sold
them at fancy prices. Eligible sites
for building purposes were sold at
thousands of dollars an acre. Cahaba
began to look even upon Mobile as a
