Ii il announced that Col. ID u.
Henderson is going to return 20 Iowa
and make his home in Dubuque.
Some Iowa papers seem to see in
this an intention on the part OF the
colonel, TO in a few years succeed

The people of Iowa are well salts

will continue him in his present
position for many years if his life is

to make a change they will get a
