The book, which 18 a substantial octavo of about $00 pages, Is now in the bands of the binder and will be ready for distribution in a few days, Jtaims to give the names, postoflice address and military rank of every man now living in the state who served his country In either the army or the navy, together with the state from which he enlisted and the regiment te ‘which ha was assigned. From advance pages 1t s learned that thereare now living in Iowa 80,802 of these old soldiers, representing 1,158 regiments, from forty states and territories The largest number is, of course, fur- nished by Iowa, but Illinois comes next, the table showing that 6,510 soldiers who went to the war from Illinois are now living in Iowa. Ohio comes next, for there are over 3,212 Buckeye soldiers now Iving with the Hawkeyes. Of the 30,862 old soldiers now in Jowa, 31 are veterans from the war of 1512, 81 are from the Black Hawk war, 2 from the Florida war, 503 from the Mexican war and the remainder trom the re- bellion, 1t is a singular fact that most of the old goldiers wha came to lowa from other states came from about the same loeality, as is indi- 1 by the few regiments represented from their state. New York, Pennsylvania and Ohio are exceptions, there being over 200 reg- fments or parate commands 1 each of those states represented now in lowa, But there are 218 old soldiers from Mas- sachusetts who represent but two reg- fments in that state. Michigan has In lowa 488 soldiers, who represent but three reziments, Little Rhody has 32 soldiers in Towa, and they all come from the same regi- ment, Missouri has 1,066 soldiers in Iowa, but five regiments embraced them all, or an average of over 200 from each regiment, lowa gent to the war about 80,000 troops, It has living less than 17,000 old soldiers that enlisted from this state. * OFf this number of survivors the greatest number, 517 fbelong to the Third cavalry. The Thirteenth comes next, with survivor: ‘Tlie greatest mor- tality has been in the Forty-third infantry, which has but four survivors, while the Forty” second has but five, and the Forty-first but BiX survivors, ‘This new book, which, so far as one state I8 concerned, is “a comvlete army register, will prove of very great value in preserving the record of l'\'t‘l’( soldier now living in the state. It is oceasion for great regret that the 1 lature limited its edition to the small amount of 3,000 copies. Of this number three | copies are to go to each Grand Ariny post in the state and 300 copies are {o be saved for | posts yet to be started. One hundred copies are reserved to be presented to the stawe libraries, and the National library at Washington. One copy is to go to the office of each county auditor in the state, and the remainder are to be left for distribu- tion with the members of the Twentieth and Twenty-first general assembles. The infor- mation furnished in this book has been ob- tained through assessors in maklipg their census returns to the county auditors and by direct inquiries sent out from the adjutant- eneral’s oftice, G Aloxander, with a large force of clerks, been engaged upon .

Urs MoiNgs, Ia., Jan. 25.—|Special Tele- | gram to the Bek.|—Unreliablo reports have been sent out from here to the effect that the breweries had all entered intoa combination, under a supposed decision of Judge Love of the United States district court, to sell beer openly in defiance of the prohibitory luw. The fact 1s Judge Love has given no de- cision. A test case was argued before him at Keokuk last week, but no decision was reached. One ot the attorneys for a brewer finvn an off-hand ,opinion that while a case egun in a state court was pending in a fed- eral court, the state could not interfere witn itin any way. Onthe strength of that two ewerles began selling beer over their ba but a few hours reflection showed that a mis- take had been made, and they closed again and remain ciosed now. The attorney soon discovered that while a state could not interfere in the cause that had been trans- ferred to the federal court there was nothing to prevent its bringing another cause like it. So every glass of beer sold was a new offense and ground fora new action by the state. Consequently the two firms that proposed to sell beer while their case was pending promptly closed up and eversthing is quiet again after the passing rippla that never got far enough to make a sensation, Board of Health Matters, .

Cr1cAGo, Jan. 25.—The perpetration of the great Rock Isiand traln robbery was ditectly charged against Henry Schwartz, a former brakeman of the road. to-day. He will have to answer indictments for both robbery and the murder of the messenger, Nichol Schwartz whas arrested here some time ago, and jailed on a charge of bigamy, The fact of his having been a Rock Island brakeman directed suspicion against him as the perpe- | trator of the robbery and murder. Schwartz, however, defied anyone to prove his connec- tion with the affair. To-day Schwaris’ bail was fixed at $2,000 and the prisoner had hardiy breaihed free air before he was rearrested by two officers holding capiases showing that Sehwartz was indicted by the grand Emy of Grundy county for murder and rob- bery. Sehwartz was hustled to the depot and taken by a special Rock Island train Morris, 11l., where ne will be examined to- morrow. Considerable efforts were made by Schwartz’ atttorneys to get him sately from jail after thesigning of the bail bond, but SheriffgMatson personally delayed his de- parture until capias could be served. | - Cholera In the Argentine Republie.

The jail doors had hardly closed on Startz, when the woman who caused his incarceration was actively engaged in an effort to effect his reles In making her statement to the authorities the woman told a pitiful story of her wrongs. Two y ago she was married to an Englishman named Wilson in lowa and with him moved to Nevraska and located on a farm near Columbus. They were hapoy and prospered. Al went well, and they had saved up some $3,000 with which to purchase a farm when' her | and hopes were blighted by domestic troubles. In September last a woman rived at Columbus with two children and claimed Wilson as_her husband. She claimed th: Wilson had left England three years ago to come to America and make a home for his family, She had never heard from him and started to search for him, after reaching America, she succeeded, throngh friends, m locating her re nt husband but did not know of his treachery until she reached Columbus, The arrival of Mrs. Wilson No. 1 broke up the home of Mrs. 1s she is now known, and she de- to leave the man she supposed was her lawful husband. Wilson, to his credir, gave the woman §1,200, about half of their earnings in_the two yeurs, and with his first and lawful wife started back to the old country. After Wilson’s de- parture, Startz, who is a worthless fel- low, appeared on the scene and in some manner gamed the affection and confi- dence of the worse than widowed woman. They were married, and Startz got_possession of the $1,200 under the pretext of desiring to buy ahome.

HE WHIPPED HIS UNCLE. A Sober Nephew Takes an Advantage of a Relative, Frederick Hofek, who lives on Pacific street, yesterday caused the arrest of his promising nephew, Joseph Hofek, on the charge of assault and battery. The elder Hofek, in broken English, told the story of his woes, which was to the effect that on Sunday he was fecling pretty good from the effects of frequent trips to a neighboring grogery, and feeling rich enough agreed to sell a valuavle parcel of reul estate on Pacific street to his nephew for a mere song and accepted small cash consideration as a clincher ot the bargain., On Monday when his h had attained its accustomed size he real- ized what a mistaka he bad made and re- fused to execute a contract when his nephew called to close the bargain, This :\rp-lront breach of faith enraged young Hofek, who procecded to give his uncle 3 thrashing and, so the elder alleges, struck him over the head with a heavy pair of shears.
