FIRST TRAIN OVER THE NEW ROAD.

Assistant Second Vice President Ar
rives Over Illinois Central
The first train in over the Fort Dodge &
Omaha railway came into Council Bluffs
last evening 1t was the special of j. F.
Wallace assistant second vice president of
the Illinois Central. who is here on tour
of inspection Of the new road The trip
from Denison, a distance of eighty five miles
was made over the new road and 1t was said
last night that Mr.. Wallace had stated that
on his return to Chicago, which will be be-
fore the end of the week. he intends to ride
the entire distance between here and Fort
Dodge over the new line.
When seen at the Grand hotel last even
ing Mr.. Wallace said that If the weather
would keep good he hoped to have the en-
tire track between this city and Fort Dodge
in good shape within thirty days. If on
the other hand the weather should go
against them it might be sixty days. There
| is yet six or seven miles of track to be laid
near Wall lake. The work of ballasting
the road was being pushed as rapidly as
| five steam shovels could dig out the gravel
and thirty engines and construction trains
spread it. Forty miles of the road is al
ready ballasted and the rest will be pushed
to completion as fast possible. The work
| of ballasting Is being done from the east
| end of the road.
| When asked as to how soon the company
| expected to start on the erection OF Its
| freight and passenger depots In this city,
| Mr.. Wallace said he was unable to state at
| this time. Plans, he said, had been drawn
for several months, but there were certain
| matters which had to be settled before work
on these buildings could be commenced
| Although Mr.. Wallace declined to admit
| it. it is understood that the matters" re-
ferred to by him mean the claim that the
Lake Manawa company and East Omaha
Construction company has laid to Avenue
A, between Twelfth and Thirteenth streets
This company, under whose franchise thu

thought that this controversy had been set
tied, but 1t appears now that 1t has no
been, and until a settlement is reached tn

Attcmnted Robbery.

What looked like an attempt torob the store
of the Iowa Furniture & Carpet company on
Broadway yesterday afternoon was frustrat-
ed by the timely arrival of the young son
of d. w. Keller, one of the proprietors.
Young Keller had occasion to visit the store
about 2:3O o'clock yesterday afternoon and
went round by the alley to get in at the
back door. AS he approached the store a
man jumped out from the cellarway and ran
rapidly down the alley. Young Keller noticed
that the cellar door was open and further
investigation showed that an attempt had
been made to cut hole round the lock OF
the door leading into the basement. The
matter was at once reported to the police
but there Is no clue. Young Keller only
managed to get view OF the back of the
supposed wouldbe burglar.

PIERRE, S. D., Oct. 29.-CSpecial) 1.-The
state land department yesterday issued
twenty-five patents for tracts of land which
had been sold in different counties Of the
eastern portion of the state. Numerous
final payments are being made and the pat
ents called for by the purchasers.
The state land department has disposed
of two quarter sections of Taylor lands in
Sphinx county at more than 25 per cent
greater price than the appraisement which
was placed upon it by the board which sci

tion which was declared by the populis

RECEPTION OF THE FIFTY-FIRsT.
Troops Not Likely to Reach Home at
the Time Set.

Although preparations for the reception
to the Fifty-firs Iowa volunteers are being
pushed along as rapidly as possible in the
expectation that the regiment will reach
Council Bluffs ON the morning of Monday,
November 6, there are many who do not
believe that the soldiers will reach the
state by that date, Recent advices from
San Francisco are TO the effect that the
regiment will not be mustered out until
Thursday OF this week, owing to a delay in
the preparation of the muster rolls. I'm
mediately following the completion of the
from the Preside to the ferry and cross
will be in waiting,
This will only leave four nights and three
days in which the trip across the continent
will have to be made. Should the train
encounter a snow storm or any other OBJ
staele, 1t Is conceded that it will be ut
terly impossible to get the regiment here
by Monday morning. The regiment will
leave San Francisco over the Southern Pa
cihc, going to Ogden and thence to Salt Lake
and over the Rio Grande to Denver. A
stop of three or four hours Is to be made
in Denver to let the soldier boys rest up
for the remainder of the journey, 1t is
understood that the Colorado volunteers are
preparing a reception for the Iowa regl-
ment and this may possibly cause some
delay. From Denver, the route to Council
Bluffs will be over the Rock Island road
Adjutant General Byers will accompany the
regiment and be virtually in charge OF the
train.
