Game of Baseball.
DIES MONIES, Ia, May 1.-The outlook
for Kelly's army is decidedly unpromis-
ing tonight and the Industrials are in
anything but good humor. All hope of
securing train is practically abandoned
by the local committees. Their petit
tiops have been refused for stock cars and
cut rates. Offers of $40 to $50 q car
were made to the various roads and
were firmly refused. In addition TO
the prospect of 8 march to Chicago, the
army 10 threatened with an empty
larder. The efforts of the citiz,nB' COM
mittee met with email reward, and the
opinion was generally expressed tonight
that the city would not furnish suffi-
Gent provisions for another day. The
Indications are that Kelly will have to
walk out Friday, or sterve, and much
ureasiness 10 ielt over the probability
of the army breaking up in Des Moines.
Kelly reasserted that he would never
walk out, and his men wsre equally de-
termined. Many OF them have left camp.
