promote a restoration of silver by

KELLY IN TROUBLE.
His Army Can't Ride",.Freesand Are
GettingsHungry.' ,5r.sae - -

Dies MONIES, Iowa, May 3.-Gen.
Kelly's army was in desperate
straits today. The hope of
securing a train, except through
the intervention Of the Governor,
was abandoned. Starvation stared
the men in the face, and a demon
stratlon of the labOring people, as
last resort, was not success as
to numbers. The call issued to all
laboring men asking them to meet
and march to the capitol with
demand that Governor Jackson
secure train brought unsatis-
factory results. When the hour
set for the march to the State
House, only forty men were in line,
but more were added, and total
of one hundred climbed a long
flight of stairs and filed into the
governors reception room. Gen.
Weaver marched at the head Of
the column and acted as master OF
ceremonies.
Private Secretary Pinehardt
greeted Weaver and informed the
crowd that the governor would APP
pear shortly. The men showed
that they were i'll at ease but not
in the least violent, as they stood
about on the velvet carpet. General
Weaver, when Governor Jackson
appeared, began his address, mildly
asserting that his mission was
humane one. He said he and his
delegation were there to make no
complaint, but merely wanted to
know if there was any power in
the executive to secure train for
the army. He said there was not
a laboring man in Des MOines
who would countenance any
viola ton of the law, but
that all were very anxious
to prevent disarmament on Des
Moines of the suffering Industrial
army. "All we want" said Weaver,
"is to feed these men, our brethren.
Their condition is not the result Of
their own actions" Other speakers
then addressed the Governor. The
Inc only COuSOldIlOH Ille
executive could offer was trans
portation to the river, and
then securing boat passage to Gin
cinnati. A local labor leader,
James Meredith, became Anarch-
istic and demanded that the rail-
road be compelled to furnish
train. He was promptly sllenced
by the delegation and the men
quietly marched away. There
was no excitement attend
ing the interview and the
Governors assurance of sympathy,
not for Kelly, but for Iowa, met
with hearty applause. The first
step of Governor Jackson will be
directed towards securing funds to-
wards paying the railroads for |
TRANSPORTATION from Des Moines,
over the Des Moines and Kansas
City, and the Keokuk and Eastern
railroads, to the Mississippi river,
and thence by boats to the mouth
of the Ohio river. He has an offer |
by a boat line, he said which would
make the plan feasible.

DENVER, Colo, May 3.-The COM
mittee on Mines and Mining in the

that it is unable to ask for the re-

New, to Denver, as to do so would
antagonize the Denver people, and
the plant is too small anyway.
Congress will be petitioned, how
ever, to establish a mint in Denver.

Tho-e Having Property Must Support
 Their Poor Relatives.
 The town authorities about the state are taking measures to relieve themselves of unnecessary burdens in the way of sup porting the poor. The Danbury authori- ties have determined 10 enforce section 3,3lS of the statutes, which reads:
 When any person shall become poor and unable to support himself or herself. and family, and shall have relatives in the de- cree of husband, father or mother, grand father or grandmother. children or grand children, who are able to provide such support. it shall be provided by them; and if they shall neglect to provide it, the se- lectmen of the town, or any of such rela- tives may bring a complaint therefor to the superior court of the county in which such poor person resides. against any such relatives of ability; which court may order the defendent to contribute to such SUD- port from the time of serving such com- plaint. such sum as may be reasonable and necessary. and may issue executions for the same, which, when collected, shall be paid to the selectmen for that purpose and when such complaint is brought by the selectmen, the court or any judge thereof in vacation may require the defen. dant to become bound with sufficient surety to such town. to abide such jUdG. ment as may be rendered on such com- plaint."
 Another state law that Is not enforced provides that every owner or possessor of lands shall cut down all wild carrots and Canada thistle growing thereon. or in the highway adjoining, so often as to prevent their going to seed and if the owner fails to comply with the law he Is liable to q fine of not more than five dollars. nor less than one dollar, for each and every day oi such neglect after being notified by a grand juror. And the expense of the grand juror who served the notice shall be included Tn the costs of the prosecution.

 For travelling gowns the now waterproof silk has superseded those former indispen- sablcs tlanncls and serge.
 Satin surah of prime quality Is preferred by many best drsscd women to the thicker mako of satin or silk.
 Probably the most widely patronizcd style of hairIlrcssing at the present mo- ment is the Psyche knot, in some one of its varieties.
 Black lace insertions arc in great use this season In inch and two inch widths, laid fiatly on the dress fabric, and not in- serted as formerly. A new veil dates from Paris and is of accordion plaitcd gauzc which holds the face in a sort of bag, the flufiiness gath cred under the chin.
 The woman who aspircs to Do as dainty as If she had a maid will remove her dress shields after thrcc or four wearings and will wash them beforo replacing them.
