DRS MOINES. Sept. 9. ( Special Tele
gram. ) The Flfty-flret Iowa will reach
homo at least three weeks earlier than has
generally been estimated. At least that is
the opinion of Adjutant General IJyers , nnd
no ono In the state Is so well able to Judge
of the probable action of the regiment as
he , for he has served most of his llfo as a
member of It nnd knows the men like n
book. Ho eays ho feels not the slightest
doubt that they will vote to bo mustered
out on bonrd the transport whllo crossing
the ocean.
The government haa ordered that a mus
tering ofllcer bo detailed to tbo transport
bringing the boys home , for the purpose of
completing the muster rolls and paying
them off on the homeward Journey and thus
obviating the necessity of keeping them nt
San Francisco for nearly n month after their
arrival. It haa been left to them to say
nbother they will bo mustered out In this
manner. The government will thereby save
nearly a month's pay to the entire regiment
nnd would prefer the boys accept the offer ,
but nt the same time the bovs will be per
mitted to remain In San Francisco the extra
month and receive the additional pay if
they so doslre. In the latter event they
would not reach homo until well along Into
November , but If they are mustered out on
the ooean they should get hero about Oc
tober 15.
It Is reasonably certain the privates will
be GO anxious to reach homo that they will
not care to remain In San Francisco an ex
tra month merely to receive $15 each. With
the officers the extra salary Is a moro Im
portant consideration nnd cannot be so
lightly sacrificed , but General Bjera is of
tbo opinion that they will bo as nnxlous to
got homo as the privates and even If they
are not the latter are In such majority that
their wishes win bo regarded.
A collision occurred at Slater , a small
town north of Des Molnes , at an early hour
this morning between a Northwestern and
n Milwaukee freight train. The Northwest
ern ran Into the Milwaukee nt the depot
crowing In Slater and the cars of the two
trains wcro piled up all around the depot.
Three men were hurt In the mix-up. Con
ductor Condren of the Northwestern being
fatally so. Ho was taken to Boone , but his
homo Is In Belle Plalno. The engineer of
the Northwestern was also dangerously In
jured. The tracks were blocked for five
hours.

FORT DODGE , la. , Sept. 9. ( Special
Telegram. ) The jury In the district court
today rendered a verdict In one of the most
fiercely-contested wilt cases ever tried In
the Webster county courts. The will of the
late Henry Fox of Clare when brought for
probate had been contested by four of the
children. Henry Fox , an extensive land
owner , had left all bis property to one son ,
James Fox , for tbo alleged reason that he
had bee nmoro kindly treated by James.
The four children thus disinherited brought
suit , claiming that Henry Fox was not of
sound mind when the wll was made and
that ho had boon subjected to undue influ
ence.
The coflo has been over a week in the
court/ ) and has attracted unusual interest
bccauso of the Hind of testimony introuced.
After being out twelve hours the Jury re
turned n verdict sustaining the will.

had been chained In the barn until It was
tame enough to take Its food from the band ,
Miss Wlswell found a. surprise awaiting her
when she entered her bedroom. In con
formity to a cuuom which she had followed
every night for twenty years , Miss Wlswell
looked under the bed to eeo If there was a
man concealed near the wall. She waa
greatly shocked when , Instead of the long-
expected man , rho saw oomcthlng big and
black and hairy , snulllng about on the bear

fell on the bed In a faint. When her brother
had brought her round again , and she had
told her t > tory , ho made a little Inveatlgatlon

It was the mate to the captive cub , and It
