The Deed is Valid.

APPOINT of law never passed upon
before in this state was decided a
few days ago by the supreme court,
\ married man owning homestead
conveyed it to his wife by deed.
The wife did not join in the con
yeyance, which was attacked by the
mans creditors. who relied on the
act of March. 1857, to sustain the
contention. In his opinion Mr. JUS
tice Hughes, in oyerruling this con-
tention. said "Was the convey
ance valid? We think that the con-
yeyance By the husband TO the wife,
which meets her approval. shows
her consent to it and meets the IN
tent Of the act to the same extent as
a conveyance by the husband to a
hirdperson, in which the wife joins.
It seems reasonable to believe that
the legislature in passing this act
intended that it should be applied
to a conveyance by the husband of a
homestead to the wife. Affirmed"

poor farm, also brought suit in behalf

ment, the estates of the two mutes
were given $780, Ed Green $3.50 and
the Lewis lad $3.50. Out of these
amounts the attorneys for the plain
tiff had to receive their pay In addi-
ton to the $4,000 the Burlington also
pays the court costs, amounting to

FLEE FROM CAR TO AMERICA.
Deserters From the Russian Army
Find Haven in Iowa.

Eldora, Dec. 6. - Having escaped
from the Russian army by offering
small brides to the guards and being
completely sick and tired Of Russian
army life, a number of Russian Jews
have recently arrived in this state
They form the advance guard of about
100 countrymen who are coming to
this state to earn a living in free
America. The men have unpronounce.
able names. cannot speak a word of
English and will be cared for by vari
Gus Jewish societies until they can
obtain employment at the various
trades they learned in Russia.
To friends who are able to under
stand them these men say that hun
dreds of Russians in the regular army
are deserving and they claim that all
that is necessary is to bride the
guards with few rubles and escape
then easy
Each Refugee Has Trade
The men who have come to this
state were members of reserve regi-
ments. and although they had not been
called to the front they were likely to
be called at any minute. They claim
the conditions in Russia are unbear-
able, especially among the soldiery,
and that the entire country is in a
wretched condition. Many of the
deserters are escaping from the Rus
sian army for two rubles, which in
United States money would be about
81. In the army they are paid scarcely
enough to buy their tobacco.
Hale on Bread anf Milk Fare.
Most of these Russians have been
in the habit of living on bread and
milk but always kept hale and hearty.
The soldiers say that Russia is consid-
ering the adoption of new plan, that
of giving farms in Siberia to her peo-
pie and allowing some of the poor
classes to live on them.
The Jews say that if Russia would
give them some of the Siberian land
they would gladly go to that cold
country and would promise to be good
citizens of the car.
