gram )--Des Moines is going to have good
share in the reception OF the Fifty-frst Iowa.
Not only will the two Des Moines companies
arrive here Monday evening, but whole
battalion is coming. This Is an assured TACT
from a telegram which Mayor MacVicar re-
celved from Colonel Loper this morning
asking that beds and food be prepared for 1876
men. The telegram, dated Wadsworth, New,
was as follows:
Mayor MacVicar: Knoxville and Oska-
loosa companies will remain in Des Mones
Monday night. Prepare beds and food for
1876 men. (Signed) LOPER"
There has been question as to whether
the Knoxville and oskaloosa companies
would come directly to Des Moinee, when by
leaving the main line south of here they
could get home without taking such round
about way. But Colonel Loper's dispatch
has settled this. Chairman Austin has ar
ranged to have the soldiers lodge in Armory
Monday night and has placed cots and
blankets in these apartments at their dis
posal.
Advices have been received from Oskaoosa
| and Knoxville indicating that large delega-
! tions will be In Des Moines to meet those
companies, so that the city will not only
have to welcome the soldiers, but also many
or their friends. Governor Shaw and stan,
| besides several other state officers, are pre-
pairing to go to Council Bluffs to take part
in the reception and escort the battalion to
Des Moines Monday.
