Reports of the indignities and outrages to which the army was compelled to submit called out in earnest protest the humanity of the citizens of the three cities,whose donations of money, food, medicines and clothing and whose kind words yesterday morning followed at noon by an order withdrawing the militia from the camp, and last night the Chautauqua pavilion, which had become for a time the citadel of selfish and unfeel- ing authority, earned again its name as a Christian meeting place and a temple for a higher civilization among men, for under its f lay the hundreds of Kelly's army, with- out the sign of a menacing bayonet.

LAST NIGHT'S MASS MERTING At the mass meeting of Omaha citizens held last night, General Kelly captured Omaha, horse, foot and dragoons. The afterncon papers contained the an- moancement that a meeting would be held at Knights of Labor hall for the purpose of Qiscussing the condition of the army, and also for the purpose of devising and means for affording immed As a result of the announcement, at early hour the seating of the large hall was taxed to its utmost capacity, with hun- dreds of people stunding upon the sidewatk, clamoring for admittance. It at once be- came apparent that more commodious quar- ters would have to be secured, and an open alr meeting was decided upon. Taking up the line of march, the officers of Central Labor union led the way to Jefferson square, and in a remarkabiy sfore space of time sey- eral thousand persons were gathered be- neath the glare of the electric light that cast its rays over the city's breathing place, which has been a bone of legal con- tention. It was an orderly crowd of people, being composed of laboring men, merchants and capitalists, with a fair sprinkling of those of the gentler sex. An improvised platform was located on the north side of the Meadimber carriage factory, upon whicl & number of orators were boosted. Lond calls were at once made for General Kelly, but the meeting was informed that the gen- eral had just arrived from Council BIufr: and was laboring with the cravings of a well developed appetite at one of the restau- -rants. The large audience wanted to hear talk- ng, and H. M. Tichenor was thrown into the breach. In responding, the speaker said thut he was in favor of going to the railroad officials and asking them what they proposed to do with reference to carrying the army on its way to the east. Ho thought that the time had arrived for action and there was no use of mincing matters longer. It was time for the people of the country to ascertain whether the railroads owned the people, or whether they were op- erated in the interests of the communitics through which they passed. The governor of Towa, he sald, had played the part of a villain and a knave, and should be de- nounced by all law-abiding citizens. He had gone so far as to employ Pinkerto send them into the ranks of the Indy He had clothed them in rags that fdentity might not be known, and had en- listed them in the Kelly command. Kelly's men, ho uaid, did not ask for palace cars, but were willing to ride in cars no better than those used in shipping cattle. All that the men wanted was to bo allowed to depart in peaco and continue thefr way to Wash ngt I0WA DENUNCIATION OF C. L. Gillette of Council Blulfs volun- teered to make a few remarks, and in doing 50 he said that he would pledge the support of the citizens of his town, declaring against the outrageous conduct of the governor of Jowa, The executive had acted withoul authority of law, and should be denounced by all law-abiding citizens of Iowa and Ne- braska. In closing, Mr. Gillette offered a resolution, which was adopted In an en- thusiastic manner, declaring that the thoe « was ripe for the laboring organizations. the business men of Omaha and Council Blufts, and the Christian people between the Mis- sourl river and Washington to take up the flght and carry the war into coug Te was of the opinion that General Kelly would land his army at the capital of the nation, and that there were 10,000 other true men who were ready to follow in their footsteps. Colonel Speed of the Industrials, in re- sponding to a call, said that the army was working solely In’ the Interests of suffe ng humanity; in the interests of the mil- lions who were suffering the pangs of hun- er, brought on by class and other bad egislation. The Intention of the army was to lay the claims of the people before the menators and representatives of the country, snd for a moment cause them to forget fl"'" labors In the protection of trusts, ondholders and the Shylocks of New York and London. What was needed was the spirit of '76, as the situation was equally B8 serious as when the army of the revolu- lon camped at Valley Forge. All that the faboring ‘men of the present day asked was a chance to exist, but even this was @enied by those in power and those who Bad tho opportunity of granting that priy- lege. It was not a question of overpro- uction, but a question of not enough con. pumption that was staring the people in he face. One Idea was to build palace cars or tho rich, but even the poor working- an was denfed the right to even ride in their JACKSON, X cars. “But,” continued the speaker, ® WUl ride in box cars and we will go Bn to Washington.” This remark was Breeted with cheers which split the night 19, alr in a small twain man to the speakers’ stand.

The commissioners decided to pay by the yard, but for the past day or two 300 Poles had hung about the vicinity, declaring they would not work nor allow others o do so unless paid $1.50 per day. No outbreak was anticipated, but as a pre- caution Sheriff Collins and five deput went to the scene to protect those who wished to work. Work progressed on small scalo during the morning, but Engineer Williams, becoming alarmed at the aspect of things, cousulted some of the commissioners shortly before noon and was instructed to quit work for the time belng. Before he returned, however, rioting began. Sheriff Collins and Deputy Steyskal, after telephoning for rein- forcoments, began (o address the mob. to pacify them. Oue of the Poles began an op- position harangue, and the crowd thereupom started to annihilate the officers and the handful of Jaborers at work. At the ad- vance the officers drew their revolvers and fired over the strikers heads, but the mob came on and the next volley was discharged into the crowd. Then the officers retreated slowly, firing as they went. Still the mob folloved, one man dealing the sheriff a vic- fous blow on the head with his shovel. The other officers and an Evening News re- porter escaped, all being more or less pounded with shovels, but the lelpless sheriff was brutally attacked. The mob then scattered, leaving the sherift unconscious on the fleld. Two of the Poles were found, John Plelat and a comrade, name unknown, dead. Sheriff Collius re- gained consciousness shortly after 2 o'clock. lic had a bad gash on the head, several ragged cuts and bruises about the body and almost bled to death from a lacerated leg. His physiclan reported tonight that he would probably puil through. During the after- noon some twenty Poles were arrested, which intensificd the bitterness, and this evening the situation is being yindictively discugsed by erowds of Poles in various parts of the city. It is rumored they will attack the jail tonight, but this is not believed. Zxtra officers are on duty to preserve the , whatever happens. Many arrests are cted, but it is diffienlt to identify the lenders in the riot. The water company will probably not recede from its position, but work will proceed, if at all, under a strong guard. Another shooting affray took place this evening in the rear of the municipal court building. A crowd of Poles had con- gregated and Deputy Sheriff Borneman recognized one of them as oue of the rloters. He started to arrest him, when some one in the crowd fired a revolver, hitting the Pole in the leg. At the station he gave the name of Tony Bowskie. Borneman could not learn who fired the shot. The complete list is as follows. Dead: JOHN PIBELAT. AN UNKNOWN POLE.
