HECITES STORES OF HARDSHIPS Moving Weil with a Hone and. Wagon and Talking Tariff as ' He Gmi Alone tne ; , Way. . "General" Charles T. Kelley, who In 1S94 led an -"army" of 1.000 or more, un employed' men , from San Francisco to Washington, returned to, Couuc 1 lilutfs . yesterday and revisited, scenes and re pealled Incidents when his "army" en countered its first hostile bayonets In the hands of the Iowa militia at . Council Bluffs. "General" Kelley, came to town hls time from the east, peacefully trav eling . in a covered wagon, ' accompanied only by his wife and family. "General'! Kelley yesterday met hun dreds of men and women who ex tended him hearty sympathy and sub stantlal aid when his worn and weary comrades reached here on the nornlng of a cold April day, twenty-three years ago. The army was halted by order of Governor Frank Jackson, who had been 'appealed to by railroad managers. Gov ernor Jackson ordered five companies of 1 the state militia here under command of Colonel Lincoln of the National guard, and the soldiers arrived by special trains. The soldiers reached Council Bluffs from the east on the same day that Kelley's veterans crossed the river into Iowa. They-came to Omaha from Ogden on a special freight train that had beeo placed at their disposal by the tacit consent of the Union Pacific officials. Efforts were made to induce the Chicago roads to rass the men along In the same manner, but failed, and the fear that they would seise trains led to the appeal to the gov ernor for 'protection. ' ' 1 ' . v John T. Hazen of. Avoca was sheriff of Pottawattamie county. - He wired ' the sheriff at Ogden for accurate statement of the condition and character of the men, and received responses that fully con vinced him that the men were as law abiding as was the governor of tho btate. When Governor Jackson summoned the sheriff to his presence in the office of John NT. Baldwin - and ordered him to take- charge of the militia and turn the . Kelley men back, he refused. He pointed out to the governor that' no demand had been made upon him for .the soldiers and that if he obeyed the orders of the gov ernor Pottawattamie county would l ave to pay all the costs connected with their presence here, amounting to thousands of dollars. Attorney General John Y. Stone was called from his home at Glenwood and was asked to define the sheriff's duty under the law. "WellGovernor, Sheriff .Hazen has quoted the law almost ver batim and he is clearly in the right. If he can maintain order without the soldiers you have no authority to compel him to accept their aid' said General Stone, f It ended In the soldiers remain ing here for a week and accompanying the "Industrial, arm"' part of the way to Des Moines, where they made boats and floated down the Des Moines river, reach ing Washington late in the summer. Sheriff Hazen bought provisions to the amount of $57.60 for the men's breakfast. This - was the only expense incurred by the county, but the County Board of Supervisors refused to reimburse him. "General" Kelley is returning through Iowa over the route he followed in 1894, and he has met hundreds of men and women who then befriended him. He is still engaged in the mission of seek ing ' betterment for the working classes of America and Is delivering speeches in all of the towns through which he passes, favoring the preservation of the protec tive tariff. He will deliver speeches in Council Bluffs at the corner of Sixth street and Broadway, one this evening and another Monday night .

Rock in Big Ditch is Source of Grief The Board of County Supervisors has been drawn into a new controversy with the land owners who have to pay the cost of the Nishnabotna drainage ditch, which was accepted by the board after the engineer's report had shown that a large section of it was left obstructed by more than three feet of rock to remove, which would cost a great deal more than the $500 retained by the board when the final settlement was made on Wednesday with Contractor Lana. The ditch will be practically worthless until the rock is ex: cavated to the required depth. The con troversy was intensified yesterday when a local paper printed a statement from County Surveyor Spetman declaring there was no rock to be excavated, and quoting Supervisors True and Children as approv ing this statement. . Supervisors True and Coe were the only members of the county board who voted against .the payment of the final esti mate of $8,000 to Contractor Lana, refus ing to do so for the reason that the ditch was not completed and the work in other respects had not been In accord with the specifications. Supervisor True called up over the long-distance phone from his home near Avoca last evening and vig orously denied making the statement at tributed to him in the newspaper. He said he had in no degree changed his mind in relation to the work, and felt that the majority of the members of the board were unwise and hasty In their action of accepting the ditch and paying for it in its uncompleted condition. He said there was no question about the presence of the rock in the bed of the stream and that its removal would be an expensive proposition. He felt that the farmers who had protested against the acceptance of the ditch were fully justi fied In refusing to pay their portion of the cost until the ditch was finished. Attorney Frank Shlnn of Carson, who owns a tract of land underlaid by rock through which the ditch runs, declared over the telephone last night that the obstructing ridge of rock begins at the northwest corner of his land and extends for a distance of thirty rods. He also said Contractor Lana knew of Its ex istence when he filed his famous "cinch" bid of "one-tenth of a mill below the low est bid of other contractors" and got the contract on what the court declared to be no bid at all. Attorney Shinn says that when Mr. Lana was testifying In the suit brought by the Johnsons, owners of the valuable mill water-power property at Carson, and which was destroyed by changing the course of the stream, he testified that the rocky stratum extended for a long distance below Carson. This was before the excavation was com menced. No' drainage ditch that has yet been established has been so fruitful of grief to the members of the county board as this expensive Nishnabotna. and It ap pears to be quite certain that there Is a lot more sorrow to be ercountered In the future. Fruit Peddlers Seek Reparation The three Omaha fruit peddlers, Ed Flush, William Roberts and Joe Wlnne steln, who were assaulted at Honey Creek Thursday afternoon and severely beaten because they had sold peaches to farmers at the same or even better prices than were given village merchants, reached Council Bluffs yesterday morn ing. Two of the men, Flush and Wlnne stein, were so painfully injured that they were In the care of 1 Dr. Robertson of Crescent for several hours. Yesterday informations were filed be fore Justice Brewer at Crescent charging Lawrence Hanson and son, Clay Hanson, with the assault. They gave bonds and will have a hearing on Wednesday. The faces of all the men showed the effects of the blows they had received. Only bare fists, however, were used and the Injuries were not serious. The Honey Creek, Loveland and Crescent merchants an say the fruit peddlers violated their agreements when they sold any of their peaches at retail to the farmers along the route and when they cut the prices 10 to. 15 cents per crate below the best figures they had given the dealers every dealer was fighting mad. The Hansons happened to be the first of the indignant dealers who encountered the peddlers after they had disposed of their load, and as they were the heaviest purchasers, they were the m'adest'of the lot.

Sweeney of Jonesboro, Tenn., was slugged and robbed a few hours after he arrived in Council Bluffs Thursday even ing. ' He was thrown over the Tenth street bridge into Indian creek and dis covered lying there In an unconscious condition at 7:30 o'clock yesterday morn ing, but before the matter was reported to the police he had recovered con sciousness and was found by Emergency Officer Jack O'Nell in the Tenth street saloon. There was a bad wound on the back of his head, evidently made by some blunt Instrument. He had been relieved of his money, $5. Sweeney said he came to town on a Burlington train at 7:30 o'clock Thursday evening. Shortly after leaving the sta tion he was met by three young men who invited him to take a drink from a bottle. He accepted the invitation and was able to recollect nothing more until he found himself lying in the mud and weeds along the creek bank. Sweeney could give but a vague description of the men. Sweeney will stay in town a while assisting in the effort to discover the men who slugged him. Real Estate Transfer.

K. Wllley of this city, adverse to the plaintiff and has assessed the costs to Heaton. The plaintiff, claimed a half Interest in the Wllley home on Glen avenue In this city, together wJth $6,300 for his mother's services as house keeper for the late Mr. Wllley.

BEAHUPACTtraSltS, WHOLESALERS, XETAIXEBB HISTORY OF, FAMOUS PICTURE "The Spirit of '76," intended as a Cartoon, Became m Patri otic Ideal. J The story of a picture that started as a joke and ended In a serious work which has stirred hundreds of thousands of Americans Is told by A. M. Wlllard, the painter of "The Spirit of '"U." Mr. Wlllard's first work as a painter was during the Civil war. He used to draw pictures of camp life and send them back to friends he had left at home when he entered the army. Some of these sketches were photographed and . the copies sold. At the end of the war the young artist determined to make a great panorama of war scenes and exhibit it all over the country, but they proved a failure. "My father was a man of deep patriotic spirit," , said Mr. Wlllard. His father had been a soldier in tho revolution. I Inherited a strong love of country. But I had another quality which entered into the work I did, and that was a spirit of fun. In those days every town had a small carriage' factory and the makers vied with one another tn craftsmanship and ornamentation. I began painting lit tle vignettes on the sides of wagons and carriages, and these helped to give Mr, Tripp's vehicles a wide reputation. "One day Mr. Tripp's little daughter brought me a very Blmple and crude il lustration from a wood cut, In which a dog, harnessed to a wagon, was chaBlng a rabbit. She asked me to make her a painting of It. The Idea appealed to mo and I set out to please the little maiden. "But what I made was not a copy of the picture she brought to me. The Idea had a rebirth In my mind, and 1 strove to make her as pretty a picture as I could. I worked long on this pic ture, with no other intent than to please a child. , Unconsciously, I was at the turning point in my career. "To the' finished picture I gave the name 'Pluck.' Mr. Tripp took the paint ing to Cleveland, where It was framed by J. F. Ryder, a photographer and art dealer. Mr. Ryder exhibited the picture In his window and It attracted crowds. Mr. Ryder desired me to paint a copy of the painting for him, and to enter into an arrangement for the sale of photographs of it. Thus began an association with Mr. Ryder which continued for many years. "Numerous requests that I tell how the chase of the rabbit ended led me, to paint a companion picture. 'Pluck No. 2.' These two pictures were copyrighted by Mr. Ryder and sold literally by thou sands. The royalties added to my de termination to be an artist. "The centennial year was approaching and Mr. Ryder and I agreed that that year ought to be made memorable and financially profitable by a humorous pic ture. The little 'Yankee Doodle' sug gested Itself, and I set to work to make a picture to fit tho title. I had boyhood memories of a country Fourth of July celebration, in which the local musicians bore their conspicuous share. There was a 'three-fingered Pick' who tossed his drumsticks, and j varied the beat on tho drumhead by ' performances on the chime. I made him my central' figure. "A fifer I had at hand, Hugh Moslner, a veteran of the Civil War, who was accustomed to appear In Washington whenever there was a celebration. He was a picturesque character, and had In him a fine vela of fun that made him responsive to my suggestion.' To balance the fifes I needed another drummer, and took a farmer boy, beating his drum as part of the day's work, too Intent on not missing a stroke to feel any particular inspiration. "I made sketch after sketch. I posed my characters before the camera again and again, being assisted In this part of the work by the Wellington photogra pher, W. 1 F. Sawtelle. K worked for weeks over this humorous picture. At times I almost had it but Just as I would approach a satisfactory' treatment of the theme I would feel a strong sense of dissatisfaction, throw away my sketches and begin anew. "Meantime the centennial year was hastening on, and the exposition at Phila delphia was about to open. We had hoped that our photographs would have a very wide sale there. ;i folt the need of haste. 1 "My central character, the old drum mer, Vas no longer living. He was only a memory of my boyhood. I had to drape his personality round some other model. At this time my father, a super annuated minister, was living with me. He had the tall, strong figure I needed, and he posed for me ' with , the drum. But Just as I seemed to be approaching a final plan my father was taken sick and I saw that he had not long to live. Then something of ' self-condemnation came over me . that . I had ever treated this theme as a humorous one. A sudden inspiration ' came to me. ' I say my models, Harry' Devereaux, a fine, manly boy, whose father was my friend; Hugh M os her, and my father, in a new light. I saw them in imagination on the battlefield. I had seen such men there. I looked into my father's face, and the lines of the commonplace faded out, and instead I saw the grand old man, whose soldier spirit had been with him in tju years of his privation and self-denial. I saw Mugh Mosher as I had seen such men in battle. , , "The whole Idea took on new signifi cance. I tied a bandage round tha head of Hugh Mosher. I put his own fine, manly boyhood into Harry Devereaux. And into the old drummer I put as I saw It the dignity and fortitude and moral heroism of my father. And now I had to work hard and fast, dividing my time, watching . nights with my father, and painting by day. My father did not live to see the result. But I finished the paint ing under the Inspiration of his character as I saw it in those anxious days. "We sold the photographs as we had planned. The Centennial at Philadelphia kept the printing frames in Mr. Ryder's gallery busy. But this was not the real triumph. The painting Itself was sent for and exhibited at the exposition. It was a life-size canvas, and hung on the line, and crowds thronged it 'day after day, "Hugh Mosher attended the Centennial exposition and he was recognized at once. It made him a local hero, , and. he lived and died with more of honor in his own community by reason of It. Harry Dev ereaux, too, saw It, and his father bought It and placed it in Abbot hall of his na tive town of Marblehead. But my father never saw the completion of the work which ' his character . inspired." Tha Housekeeper. ', BEATS HIGH COST OF LIVING Rock Ilottom Prices for the forms of Uncle Sam's Soldiers. .

His linen collar costs 4 cents. His woolen olive drab gloves cost 87 cents. His canvas legglns cost 67 cents, and he can buy woolen mittens for 30 cents and overalls for 67 cents. His stockings 'cost as follow: Cotton, S cents; heavy woolen, 24 cents( light woolen, IS eenta. f His dress trousers of 22-ounce kerseyv the material of which is sold to ' officers at $2.30 a yard, cost $3.03, and his dress coat, of the same' material, costs 35.37. He pays for his khaki service coat H71 His chambray shirt costs 51 cents, the olive drab flannel shirt $2.80 and the mus lin shirt only SI cents. The most expensive item -of all big equipment is his olive drab overcoat, which costs $12.88. These clothes are sold to the soldier at cost plus the expense OH storage, and in the ease of the organized militia with the cost of packing added. The reason for these rock-bottom prices is that the large quantities of cloth and. material required in the manufacture- of clothing for the army by the government: are purchased after advertisement Invit ing competition, awards being, made to the lowest bidders. Furthermore, & large quantity of uniforms and other garments forming part of the soldier's clothing are made under contract, after advertisement inviting competition, awards also being made to the lowest bidders. This method eliminates the middleman's profit and 're sults in the government obtaining the lowest-possible prices both for 'materials and for cost of manufacture. Newt York Sun. .
