Some of them took several ties from a pile on the grounds to use as ts around the fires, but the raflroad of ala objected on the plea that they would o burned instead of returned, and General Kelly at once gave an order to have the tle returned to the | place from which they had been taken. This was done by the men, who yielded obedlence, although it compelled them to stand in the mad around the fires instead of allowing them to lessen their misery in even the slightest degree. One of the men protested that he was not going to fre to death, but his insubordination was pun- ished by a prompt discharge from the army, and he was started out along the track without blanket or a meal, his badges as a member of the army belng first taken away from him The rations for the afternoon meal were tasued from the new commissary headquarters in the town hall, and the men made their supply of coffee and partook of their repast in the rain. The teamsters attached to the vagon traln were fed at the hall, where a dry goods box erved as a t for the commander and his staff. HUSTLING FOR SHELTER As the shades of night began to fall the men hustled around to find shelter for the night. Permission was given them to visit the surrounding farm houses, as well as to seek admission to the stables in the town. It was not long until every hayloft was filled, for the citizens fairly outdid themselves in thelr efforts to care for the men. Al evinced a most sollcltous interest in their welfare, but the accommodations were wholly ‘Inadequate until word was received from the Waite farm that two big barns there would furnish a comfortable sleeping place for 500 or 600 men, and that they were welcome to them. This was sufficient to pro- vide for all who were left out in the cold, and Dy 8:30 the last of the men were under cover, with the exception of a few who expressed a hoico to remain near the fire In the hope of drying thelr clothes. The mayor and a number of the citizens of Underwood, the next town, five miles east, drove in late in the afternoon with a load of provisions for the army. They urged the general to continue to that place, saying that they could furnish shelter for all his men, but he thanked them and declined for the time being. Shortly after dark a horse arrived for General Kelly. It was a handsome black thoroughbred, presented by William Boyhan of Council Bluffs, who Imposed the condition that the animal should be called Billy Boyhan, and should be ridden into Wash- ington by General Kelly. The general said he would accept the present, but remarked that from the looks of the flery animal e was inclined to think that he would have to turn him fnto a fleld and let some of the more ambitious of the boys try to ride him for a while before tackling him himself. erinte ound only until 6 ndent Goodnow remalned on the 30, when he was rolled back to the Bluffs to spend the night.

He said the railroad properly was in danger, and that if one of the buildings was to take fire they would all go, entail- ing los of $10,000 on the company. He was also certain that Kelly was losing con- trol of his men, and that they were liable to_commit almost any depredation The eriff said they were all peaceable 50 far, and he did not anticipate any trouble on that score. He was of the opinion that Kelly was worried to a groater degree than he had been before, and that he was on the eve of marching back to Omaha. The idea of the superintendent seemed to be to get the sheriff to 1l on the governor to have the militia again sent into the field, but the county ofiicial hardly looked at it in that light. He said ho was disposed to regret that he had consented to the recall of the troops, but he was not ready to ask for them to be sent out again. He sald he was nearly sick himself, and had been with- out sleep since Friday, with the exception of seven hours, He was heartily tired of the strain, and was looking anxiously forward to_the'departure of the army for good. Kelly received a teiephionic communica- tion from Omaha late in the afternoon to the effect that he must hold his position at Weston until morning, and not to move until he heard further. He was assured that un- less a train was forthcoming an army of 10,000 men would be organized in Omaha and would move at once to his assistance. Tu speaking of it liter, he said he did not | know the identity of the man who-was talk- { ing with him over the wire, but he hoped no such crowd would be gotten together for that purpose, he already had all the mouths he could feed, but he could not help again expressing his appreciation of the as. sistance that friends had given and of the encouragement that they were still holding out. WELCOMED AT WES TON. Villagers and Farmers Ald in Making the Wanderers Fairly Comfortable, WESTON, Ta., April 19.—(Special Tele- gram to The Bee)—This is a most dismal night. Rain has fallen steadily and mud and water is shoe top deep, while it Is as dark as Erebus. By dint of hard work the captains of Kelly's army were enabled to house all their men. Every citizen and farmer in this vicinity has thrown open the doors to houses, barns and sheds, so that tho men are faring better than they did at Chautauqua. The hardships and continual rains have almost discouraged the men, after their tramp over the muddy roads, but at 11 o'clock they were comfortable and their spirits were rapidly rising. In the village hall the Commonweal officers have been holding & meeting with the citizens. Just before dark ex-Congressman Pusey of Coun- cil Bluffs telegraphed the proprietor of a lumber yard here to let Kelly's men have all the lumber they wanted to protect them from the storm at his expense, and a fow lours later Mr. Pusey arrived in person (o 100k after the comfort of the men, and saw that they got what they wanted. He will stay here until tomorrow. Barly in the evening General Kelly ap- peared somewhat worried, but later on he recelved advices from private sources that the outlook for sceuring a train was not so bad after all, and he has brightened up a great de courage and say fow that they will follow Kelly to Washington on the black horse presented to him today by William Boyhan of the Duguette company, Council Bluffs, if they have to walk every step of the way, and only have a loaf of bread every day.

They were given with a will and the crowd was soon swelled with other citizens attracted to the spot by the demon- stration. At this juncture a cab drove up stopped near the curb. ‘Take that carriage and go over and get Governor Jackson,” suggested one of the crowd. “We want to tell him what we think of him The eab driver rose on his hox and In- dignantly replied: “I wouldn’t haul such a man for any fee.” The crowd went wild with applause, and ckman received an ovation.

The audience was filled the militia and raflroads heaped un- warranted indignities upon the Industrial army and spilt a drop of workingman's blood without cause they would go to the aid of the army. The sentiment was unani- mous that Kelly should not be menaced or hampered in ‘any manner and they pro- posed to stand by him, come what may. CITIZENS COMMITTEE APPOINTED. Upon motion of Sam Nedrey it was decided to appoint a citizens committee with power to act this morning at 9 o'clock, If Kelly's army is not moved.at that hour. The fol- lowing committee was appointe Bemis, Edward Rosewater, G. M. Hitch- cock, J. M. Thurston, J. L. Webster, N. H. Church, C. Petel Brown, M. Nelsen, S. A. Gates, A. L. Maley, B. C. McCabe, E.

It was announced that this committee would meet at 8 o'clock. The prolonged toot of a certain whistle and the ringing of church bells at 9 o'clock this morning was agreed upon as the signal for all sympa- thizers of Kelly in Omaha to meet at Jeffer- son square and march over in a body to Council Bluffs to request Governor Jackson and the railway people to stop their perse- cutions of pea ployment.

The mayor also suggested that a committee of representative citizens be appointed to canvass the city for funds with which to pay the army's way out of the city, and also to solicit contribu- tions of food to maintain ¥ while here. Mayor Hillis concluded this was the cheap- est and most humane way in which to meet the expected emergency of a visit from the army. Unless the Rock Island company shall place a train at the disposal of the army, its arrival in Des Moines will remain a mal- ter of conjecture. If it is compelled to walk the entire distance of 140 miles it cannot reach this city until late next week, but the indications are that the Rock Island com- pany, rather than be annoyed and kept on the anxious seat while the army is marching along its line, will furnish a train and transport it through the state as rapidly as possible and thus get rid of it Sherift McGarraugh also received notice of the approach of Kelly's contingent, and has been hustling around all day seeking assistance to feed and take care of it upon its arrival, until arrangements can be made to pass it along the line way at once and is compelled to remain in the city two or three days the officers of the State Fair assoclation will be appealed to for permission to quarter the 1,600 homeless wanderers in the bulidings on the state fair grounds.

M. Hubbard, attorney for the Northwestern Railway com- pany. Last night Judge Hubbard and John Baldwin, a railroad attorney from Council Bluffs, went to Chautauqua and remained over night in thelr special car. It was hero that the reporter was granted an audience with the railway autocrats, and during the heat of the moment, while smarting under tho criticisms of the press and public opin- fon, Mr, Hubbard acknowledged that he was responsible for the calling out of the state troops, having used his influence with Gover- nor Jackson for that purpose. Mr. Hubbard expressed himself in no un- certain language and his views of the situa- tion were coincided in by Mr. Baldwin. “If these tramps and bums try to capture one of our trains there will be trouble,” said Mr. Hubbard, “and should they gain possession of a train through any hook or crook, or by the sympathy of our trainmen we will ditch the train if it destroys every car and hurts a lot of the men. We will not carry these vagabonds for love or money or be forced to by their capturing our roliing stock, In the eyes of the law they are a band of beg- gars, who are organized for an unlawful purpose and to prey on the people, who ar compelled to feed them and move them on to the next station. Why, if we were to Ty this crowd over the Iowa railroads we would be compelled to carry 10,000 more idlers Just like them. They would swamp our roads and we could do nothing but a charity business, and this is what we do not intend to do. Our roads were not built for charitable purposes. “This movement must be stopped now and right here, and T don’t think the people show good judgment in feeding theése people. There is too much false sympathy about these men. We have had men among these people day and night, and they have recog- nized persons who, Jave led criminal lives and served time in penal institutions who are now soldiers in Kelly's army. Do you suppose for a moment that we Intend to transport such a drew over our lines and unload them upon the other cities along our railroads? This would only remove the pest from one city to another, and under the laws of any of the states we could be held liable for damages.” “It 1 was the governor,” chipped in Mr. Baldwin, “I would place a sufficient force behind me to enforee my commands and say to this man Kelly, ‘Disperse your gang or I will do it for you" T would not let them march across this statdin a body and pave the way for the hordes which we know are preparing to follow this crowd, - My idea as to the way to get rid of these men would be to divide them up intg parties of about twenty-five and send them in different di- rections out of the state. They should not be permitted to go over this country im- posing on the pecplp ind eating them out of house and home, and I don’t think that the governor should permit it.” The officials ‘of the Chicago & Northwest- ern in Chicago werc astonished to hear of Judge Hubbard's reported utterances. They pronounced the idea that they would wreck a train on their own road as too ridiculous to discuss, “The thing 1s absurd,” said General Superintendent Sanborn. ~ “I don’t know where Mr. Hubbard gets his Information, granting that he said what Is alleged, but T know such a thing has not and will not be thought of for one second. We are not running trains into the ditch, if we know it, for any cause.” Mr. Sanborn's tone and manner showed the most extreme disgust that such a thing could be thought possible. SYMPATHY AND CASH.

WASHINGTON, April 19.—Inquiry con- cerning the proceedings of the executive session of the senate develops the fact that the senate takes a more serious view of the prospective gathering of Coxeyites and others here than the first report would seem to indicate. The opinion is expressed by senators who participated in the execu- tive proceedings that in view of the pre- cedents and the emergency that is likely to arise, President Cleveland would be justified in issuing a proclamation warning the men now on their way to the city in connection with Coxey’s movement that the authorities will be prepared to require the strictest observance of order. The opinion is also freely expressed in the sen- ate and was advanced in executive on that congress cannot afford and should do nothing looking to the sustenance of the Coxey army while here. It is expected that it as large a body of men should assemble as is now regarded as probable they will soon find themselves more anxlous to secure food to sustain life than money to build roads and will be clamorous for an appropriation to that end. Senator Cock- rell, chairman of the committee on appro- priations, has given notice of a speech on the Peffer resolution for tomorrow, and when asked today for an expression of his views declined to talk, urging that he would probably touch upon this phase of the ques- tion in his speech. It is probable several senators will discuss the question freely in this debate during the morning hour to- morrow. Life Insurance Notes. King Charles of Portugal has taken $400,- 000 life' insurance; half of it in three com- panies. Whether you are sick or well, asleep or awake, happy or unhappy, prosperous or unfortunate, your life policy Is going right along and getting nearer maturity every day you live. Considerable fuss Is made every little while over “the enormous total of mort- gages upon farms” In this country. The whole sum Is really about $1,300,000, or less than one half the volume of life in- surance now in force in American com- panies. Good words for life insurance from prominent men are common enough, but General Palmer, United States senator from Ilinois, has managed to put the case in about as compact a compass as anybody. Ho says: “I am earnestly in favor of life insurance, and think no prudent man of insurable age should fail to avall himselt of it." A few proverbs for agents: Persistency is a jewel. Water won't run up hill, but it can always be pumped up. There are Just-as good fish in the vast sea of the unin- sured as ever were caught. Don't abuse other companles; let the world sce that two of a-trade as grand as life Insurance can easily agree. A dividend amounting to $1,200,000 is announced for stockholders of the Chicago World's fair. This Is final and handsome, being 13 per cent of their original subscrip- tion, on which nothing was really expected. Ten' per cent of It is to be paid at once. The total sum, $1,200,000, is interesting, as it chances to be about the average amount paid out every week of the year in death ses, dividends and endows standard life Insurance companies. Of course a life insurance company ought never to fail, and at first thought it seems superflous for any one to claim any credit whatever hecause they don't—something almost like a man being lauded for honesty, or & woman for virtue, Hut after all, in such seasons of financlal distress as the country has been passing through, when collapses have been plentiful in every other fnauciul, commerclal, manufacturing and trade intercst, wo shall Lave to pardon lite insurance advocates for dwelling a bit upon the admirable fact that (heirs is absolutely the ouly calling in which there have not only heen no failu but In which & splondid fncrease of prosperity has been the gereral rule.
