f Council Bluffs, Oct. 9.-It is estimat-
ed that-at least $4,000 will be required

and banquet to be rendered the Fifty
first Iowa in this city on its return to
Iowa, and at the meeting Thursday
morning of the local executive commit
tee in charge of the arrangement, the
finance committee was directed to raise
this amount. It is not believed that
the finance committee will experience
any difficulty in raising this sum, as
everybody in the city is enthusiastic
and of the one opinion that nothing
should be left undone and no expense
spared to make the demonstration one
worthy of the great state of Iowa and
the city of Council Bluffs.
Lit was decided TO try to secure the
attendance here on the day OF the re-
ception of the United States troops
from F't. Cook and invitations will also
be extended TO the Hurston Rifle. 'Oma-
ha Guards and the High School cadets
OF Omaha to be present and take part
in the military parade and reception.
This matter was placed in charge of 4
committee consisting of Postmaster
Treynor, chairman, Mayor Jennings
and Col. j. j. Steadman.
The secretary was directed to write
to the mayor of each town having i
company in the regiment, asking them
| 10 furnish at once the names of those
selected 10 act on the general reception
] committee and to name one member
from, each such town TO act ON and in
\ eonjunction with the parade commit.

MIR. FEssLER,s NARROW ESCAPE
Knocked From the Track by an Engine
Saturday Evening,

u. q. Fessler had a narrow escape
from death or serious injury at the
Union depot Saturday evening. He
had gone down to the station to post u
letter on Burlington No. which ar
rives here at 6:40. The train was ap-
proaching and Mr.. Fessler had started
down towards the east end of the plat
form near where the mail car stops.
He was walking on the track but was
ignorant of the fact that he was on
the same track on which the train was
approaching until he was roughly
tossed to one side by the engine. His
escape is more of miracle than any
thing else. He was uninjured with
the exception of few bruises that
are not in any way serious. When the
engine struck him he was near one
side of the track and his body was
rolled aside out of harm's way. He
said he noticed the engineer making
the usual sounds of warning but did
not suppose that they We're intended
for him, as he felt so certain that he
was not on the track on which this
train comes in.

For the Purpose of Bringing Home

A meeting of the citizens committee
having in charge the reception to the
Thirteenth regiment, held a meeting at
the mayors office yesterday. Present
were Mayor Kiefer, George r. Finch, D.
R. Noyes, Jesse A. Gregg. Henry Hazen-
Wrinkle, w. F. Bergmeier, G. P. Slime,
CGnde Hamlin and L. L. May.
Plans for the free transportation home
Of the ST. Paul companies and the re-
ception to be rendered were discussed,
but no definite action taken, further than
the decision arrived at that a suitable re-
ception would be given the returning
soldiers. Another meeting Of the commit
tee will be held this afternoon at the
mayors office at $3.50 o'clock. Attention
was called TO the fact that various
schemes were being doomed by parties
who do not reside in the city, the prop
osition being that the schemes were for
the purpose Of raising money for the
entertainment of the Thirteenth regi-
ment. 1t was decided that in the raising
of subscriptions the fund is to be in
charge of the Commercial club, acting
through the citizens committee. At the
meeting this afternoon definite action will
be taken as to the plan for raising funds
and preparing for the reception.
1t was reported last night that the
Minneapolis committee having the return
of the regiment in charge had been guar
anteed S25, 900 by two prominent citizens
of that city, and that the plan was TO
have the regiment brought in a body
from San Francisco, and mustered out at

WILL PAY DEPOSIToRs.
Formal Order Directed to the Ger
mania Bank.

Judge Jaggard yesterday filed a for
NAL order directing the receiver Of the
Germania bank to return to the deposit
tors the money deposited IN the bank on
July 10 and II. The court finds that on
July 10 the bank was insolvent, but con-
tinued to receive deposits IN the sum of
$5S5513, and S1,911.79 on July II. This
money, it appears, was kept separate
from the rest of the funds of the bank
and could be identified. In an accom-
panying memorandum the court says:
1.-THE practice in this matter is to be
commended. The application for the re-
turn of deposits and other moneys which
the receiver could not hold as against
motions made by the owners was made
by the receiver himself through his coun-
sci. This saves the time of the court
in hearing a large number of separate
motions; all involving the same ques-
ton; it saves the time of the owners in
asserting their Undisputed rights; it
economies for them the expense of sep
arate legal proceedings; the prompt re-
turn of the money without cost, which
money in many Instances, would never
otherwise be applied for or would be re-
turned to the depeSitors after some spec
ulation had staken a large part of it.
There is no question as to the legal prin-
cipleS involved"
