A canvass of the question among the rela
tives and friends of the members of Com
pany L , Fifty-first Iowa , shows that they
are strongly opposed to the plan proposed
of bringing back the regiment In a body to
Des Molncs. They arc , however , all In favor
of having the regiment brought back In Its
entirety to the stnto If It can bo possibly
accomplished , but feel that to take the men
to DCS Molncs would bo causing unneces
sary delay In reaching their homes. A
majority of the people of this city would
like very much to have the boys come home
In a 'body that the people may In some man
ner show their appreciation of their bravery
on the battlefields In the Philippines , but
there Is a general feeling that to bring
them to Council Bluffs would bo the best
plan. This city Is the home of onT > com
pany , and the remainder of the regiment
could reach homo direct from here. To take
the regiment to Des Molnes would be doub
ling the trip across the state , for all of the
companies except companies A and H. and
would delay the boys from two to three
days In reaching their homes.
Emmet Tlnley of the advisory 'board ' of
the Woman's Sanitary Relief commission
says that one or more members of the
board will attend the conference to be held
at Des Molnes tomorrow for the purpose of
seeing If some plan cannot be devised where
by the regiment may be brought back to
the state In a hody.
The members of the board .who attend
the conference will bo Instructed to oppose
the plan to take the regiment to DCS Molnes
and urge the advisability of bringing It
only as far as this city , where It could bo
welcomed by Governor Shaw and the state
officers.

The cost of bringing the regiment back
In n body IB | estimated at about $40,000 , and
It Is generally agreed that as the state funds
cannot bo used for the purpose there may bo
Bomo difficulty In raising this amount of
money. To raise this sum In the eleven
towns having companies In the regiment it
Is believed would bo Impracticable and that
the only way to carry out the plan would be
to solicit subscriptions from tlio entire state.
This scheme of raising the money needed to
bring the boys back will bo urged at the
meeting tomorrow In Des Molncs by the
representatives from this city.
It 'has not yet been definitely decided who
will go from here , but It Is believed that
Freeman need , clerk of the district court ,
will attend for ono and Attorney Tlnley will
also possibly go.
The feeling of the people of this city that
the regiment should be brought back to
Council Bluffs te shared by ttoo people gen
erally of southwest Iowa. The papers of
this section of the state have taken the
matter up 'and It now looks as If the plan
carries at all Council Bluffs will liavo the
honor and pleasure of welcoming the Fifty-
first home.

Jfew Depot AwnltN Occupant.
Now that tbo new freight depot of the
Omaha Bridge & Terminal Railway com
pany at Ninth street and Broadway is com
pleted conaHerablo speculation Is being In
dulged in by local railroad men as. to who
will occupy It. For some time past It has
been reported that as soon as the depot was
completed It would be used by the Omaha
& SU Louts , but owing to the Unsettled
condition of the affairs of the road no move
has been made in that direction. In some
quarters It Is believed that the Missouri
PaclPd , which at present hauls considerable
freight from tbla tide of the river to it *
depot at Webster street In Omaha , will use
the depot and transfer Its freight , consist
ing chiefly of agricultural Implements ,
across the river by the Terminal' * bridge
and cars. The depot Is a. most commodious
ono and Is by far the best of any In this
city. The location Is considered excellent

LE MARS. la. . Aug. 13. ( Special. ) The
management of tbo Windsor hotel in this
city has received a letter which may read
to the Identification of the woman who reg
istered at the Windsor hotel Saturday as
Mrs. C. N. Clarke , mid loft sorao time In the
night , deserting a few weeks' old Infant.
The letter is written by Chris Hagc , pro
prietor of the Queen Clty.hotel at Volln , S.
D. Ho says he noticed in the papers the
account of the baby being deserted In Le-
Mars , and from thu description given of
the woman and her actions has come to
thn conclusion that she is the Fame woman
who came to his hotel April 24 and regis
tered as Mrs. G. W. Smith of Sioux City.
She claimed she was married to a traveling
man from Chlcaso , who was on the road for
a wholesale drug store. A baby boy was
born to her July 2 at this hotel , and Mr.
lingo says she left with the baby on Au
gust 4. Mr. Hage concludes his letter by
saying that the hotel people had nn Ink
ling that all was not exactly right , ami
that he Is prebty certain Mrs. Smith nt
Volln and Mrs. Clarke at LoMars are one
and the same. Ho adds that If some articles
of the infant's clothing were sent It could
probably be identified , as all Mrs. Smith's
baby clothes were made at this hotel. Some
of the Infant's clothes were sent to Mr.
Hago In answer to his request.

Hev. II. H. Dasher of Waterloo Is at pres

a gubernatorial candidate , but apparently
has little show of success , as his posi
tion on the main Issue Is doubtful.
For the rest of the ticket absolutely no
names have been mentioned. It Is believed
the Chicago platform and Uryan will be en
dorsed , but not unanimously , as there will
bo several contesting delegations from vari

SALT LAKE , Aug. 13. ( Special. ) "The
recent rains lu southern Utah have Insured
the grass and been of incalculable benefit
to the cattle industry , " said Bishop H. S
Jollcy of Kane county. Bishop Jollcy has
Just returned from Kansas City and Omaha.
Ho Is one of the largest cattle owners of
Utah and has spent a month in examining
thu ranges of the westernCountry and in
vestigating the cattle markets.
"When I left homo about a month ago
the condition of the grass on the ranges of
Utah was such that it was the conclusion
of cattle owners that stock would have to
be shipped out and feeding grounds secured
elsewhere. But on reaching here this after
noon I have received advices that the rains
have revived the grass and that the ranges
will bo covered with plenty of excellent
feed , so that now It will not be necessary
to ship any cattle out of the tate on that
account.
"My trip was taken for the purpose of
looking up 'feeding ' grounds for several thou
sand head of stock. In Montana I found
the ranges were dry and the grass poor ,
but over the boundary line of Canada , In
the Alberta territory , the feed was very
fine. That Is a crcat cattle country nnd
the stockmen are doing very fine. It Is one
of the best sections 1 'have ' ever seen and
Is destined to 'become ' n great Etockraislng
and agricultural country. There are quite
a number of Utah people up there , all doing
well.
"I also visited the states of Missouri , Kan
sas and Nebraska. The crops In nil of
thorn are bin. especially the corn , which
will. It Is claimed , average sixty bushels to
the aero In all of those states. Nebraska
ind Kansas have had big corn crops before ,
but never one to approach the present one ,
"Tho cattle market Is strong nnd firm ,
and big 'prices are being'obtained. . . There
Is a. big demand for feeders and both the
Kansas City and Omaha markets are good
ones. I believe the former to bo the best
for big , heavy feeders , whllo for the lighter ,
smaller stock Is more In demand In Kansas
and brings better prices In that market
than any other. I expect to ship about
0,000 head of stock to those two markets/ "
