FOUR BIG GENERALS
THEY WILL STORM THE PEERLESS
PRINCESS THIS AFTERNOON.
They Come Not as Invaders to an Enemy's
and Explode the FalIacies of Free Silver
in the Citidel OF Popuiism-This Re-
beilion They Propose to Suppress by
Ballots Instead of Bullets-Patriotisn
is the Countersign They are Using ana
National Honor is Their Slogan.

AT $50 this evening the special tram
gel. Howard and Alger-will arrive at
the Union depot and wtl remain for one
hour during which time each one Will
make a few remarks from a pAallorin
to be erected on the vacant lana De
tween the Santa Fe and Rock Island de-
pots.
This viii be the greatest event in the
history of the campaign or 1885, IN
Wichita. The four gentlemen named
have not only won exalted fame an the
fed Of battle, but they have won fame
IN civil life They are not all or the
same politics, but they are all of the
same patriotism, and that is why they
are travelling together and standing up
on rhe same platform to counsel the
men whom they Ged once 10 victory to
stand now, as firmly as they did then, in
maintaining the glory and the honor
of that victory.
These gentlemen believe that the crisis
that confronts the country now is al
most as great as the crisis that con-
fronted the country in 1851, and they
have now, as they did then, volunteer
ed to muster in an army of patriots TO
squelch this new rebellion with ballots
instead Of bullets in November.
Where is the veteran who believes
that Howard is a tool of the money pow
er? If there is one let him take down
his book of history from the shelf and
read the bright pages devoted TO his
gallant and heroic work, for his country
and his flag, ait Donaldson, Shiloh, Cor
NTH and Vicksburg. Let him read the
deeds of Howard, the Christian SOL
der" and the army or the Tennessee.
Then ask him if Howard, in Kansas.
Is in the enemy's country.
Where is there veteran who believes
that Siegel is in the enemy's country
when he enters the state of John Brown
Where is there man who believes
that Alger, the great cavalry general.
is a missionary of the money power?
Where is there a veteran who Will dis
pute the right of Dan Sickles TO come to
Kansas?If there is such a man, let him
think a moment of Gettysburg and his
deeds of heroisIn on that great battle
field
The appearance OF these distinguished
gentlemen is enough to rekindle the
fires of Patriotism in the hearts of all
men, especially of those who followed
them to the lannon's mouth.
The Old soldiers of this county are re-
quested to meet at Garfield hall at 4
O'Clock this evening for the purpose of
marching in a body, as they used TO
march, to the union depot TO meet and
greet the generals

MILWAUKEE, Dec. "A special to
The Evening Wisconsin from Chippewa
Falls, Wis, says: The situation in
Chippewa Falls is growing more Sc
rious every minute, The mammoth ice
gorge which formed six miles down the
river has backed into the city, and the
immense volume of water coming from
above is spreading to each side, inun-
dating large portions of the town.
Every merchant in the city is moving
to a place of safety. The water has
filled the Easements of the business
blocks almost the entire length OF
Bridge street, and before evening it is
expected the water will have reached
the court house, eight blocks from the
river. There is much excitement III
town but everything is orderly. About
fifty families on the South Side who
were forced to leave their homes, were
reported in want, and relief was lmme-
diately dispatched. Some Of these fam
lies had taken refuge in empty houses,
and were without food or warmth
Dynamite wouldn't Touch 1t.
Bridge Superintendent Callaghan OF
the Central road was instructed to
blast the gorge at our east, but he
would not undertake the task. He
said that all the dynamite manufac-
tured could not bulge it, and it seems
all that can be done is to sit hands
down and watch the approach OF the
flood. The water is rising at the rate
of foot an'hour, and it looks as though
the entire town would be inundated.
1t is critical condition of affairs, but
there seems to be no remedy.
