body of the army.
The Philadelphia Commune, so men

Oklahoma Sam galloped up and down

After marching twice around the

and more cheers and drilling followed.

Browne called on his men to perform

for the great procession to the capitol
There was an early breakfast of eggs,
bread and coffee. Tents were struck and
packed into wagons and the whole army
was aligned before 8 o'clock. All the
men carried slaves on which huttered
white flags with the motto: "Peace on
earth. good will to men, but death to in
terest on bonds"
There was much marching and counter
marching on the grounds, prancing of
stations, and hauling of the commissary
wagons into line. The men had passed
a cold night, most of them sleeping on
the ground.
Before the start, Carl Browne formed
the men into a hollow square and put
them through a most remarkable drill

present a fan The increase of the
crowd as the army marched down Four
teenth street and into the business part
of the city, interfered to some ex-

police were kept busy. Gen. Coxey
doffed his hat several times in response
to cheers. The first delegation to join
the procession was the J. 5. Coxey club,

125 men, mostly brick layers, who met

AN APPEAL TO WILSON.
Topeka Santa Fe Workmen Want Their
Situations Back Again.


Situations Back Again.
AT 4 o'clock this afternoon a committee
representing the Santa Fe men who
were thrown out of work by the strike
year ago will go into conference with
Receiver Wilson at his office at the gen.
eraI office building.
This committee was appointed by the
Topeka Trades and Labor Assembly and
the Machinists' union. The committee
has already held several conferences
with the officials of the Santa Fe relative
to the reinstatement of the men who
were laid off soon after the strike was
settled, but have not yet been put back
to work.
The men who were laid off at that time

Walking Cause It.
DEs MONIES, Iowa, May 1.--Kelly's in
dustrial army was in a state of great dis
content today, and the grumbling of the
men became more pronounced as the
day advanced. The fact that negotia-
tions with the Great Western road had
come to naught, was the principal cause
of dissatisfaction, and the scarcity
of provisions added to the generals
troubles.
1t was understood yesterday that food
in plenty had been furnished and but
little effort was made to secure immed-
late help. But the men had scarcely
enough provisions for their breakfast
The citizens committee Immediately sent
out an urgent appeal for help and ex-
pressed the beIief that there would be
no further scarcity of food.
The city authorities notified the pro-
prietors of the stove works building
where the men are encAmped that reI@
would not be paid by the city after to-
morrow. Kelly addressed the students
of Drake University today and was an
nounced TO speak in the opera house.
Kelly admitted today that he was dis
appointed that he could not reach Wash
ington May 1, but said he was not dis
couraged and would yet reach the ma
tIOnal capitol.
The public was informed by handbiIls
that 20 and so cents admissions would be
charged at the opera house meeting and
that Colonels Spead and Baker would APP
pear with Kelly. The prospect that the
army is likely to camp in Des Moines for
some time has dampened the ardor of
some of its sympathizers. but the greater
portion of the laboring people exhibit a
strong sentiment favorable to Kelly.

anarchists attempted to defend their

At the great slaughter-houses in
the Partisan suburb of La Villette
there is granary from which the
beasts awaiting execution are fed
The way to it is up substantial lad
der staircase. One of the bullocks
having escaped from the pens, climb
ing up this staircase before he could
be stopped. When his escape was
first discovered he was seen on the
stairs slowly and laboriously making
his way upward. AS soon as he
reached the granary two or three at
tendants followed him and endeavored
to get him down, but all their efforts
were unavailing. There was nothing
to be done, therefore, but to leave
the beast there to eat his fill and then
see whether he would be clever
enough to return by the way he went.
Possibly some thought of exhibiting
him in public may have crossed the
minds of his guardians, but IL SO they
were doomed to disappointment. The
stupid animal. instead of trusting to
the staircase, got out of window on
the opposite side of the building, and
put one foot on q little thin ladder
standing against 1t. There was a
crash, the ladder broke in half, and
the too adventurous bullock fell,
breaking all his legs, so that he had
to be killed on the spot.-[LondoD

Hon. David T. Little, of Illinois,
says the Washington Post, is a con-
slant habitue of Chamberlain's when
in Washington. He is taking life
easy now and living on the fat of the
land. He has farm out in Illinois
which raises the finest corn, hogs
and cattle in the country. He has
got tired of the un-American and
imported custom of course dinners,
and entered his emphatic protest
against it last week. He says it is a
fashionable plan to starve man to
death. So he sent out to his farm
for $50 pounds of pork spareribs,
sides, backbone and tenderloin chick
ems, turkeys, sweet and Irish pota-
toes, celery and ''fixins," and had
John Chamberlain cook half of them
into q dinner. Then he invited all
his Union cronies and gave them a
good, square meal. Two days later
he had the rest cooked and invited
all his old Confederate friends in.
He didn't care to mix them, for
there is no telling what brave men
will do when they get good meal
under their belts. There were Joe
Blackburn and half dozen more old
timers of the same sort, and every
thing was brought in and put on the
table at once, in the good, old-fash-
toned way, so they could tell what
there was to eat and plan their cam
paign accordingly. And the way they
ate was a caution. 1t seemed as
though none of them had had
square meal for three months. The
sparerib and turkey and chicken and
"fixins" simply disappeared like a
snowbank in July. Senator Black
burn was telling a friend about it
afterward. II was having a good
