The annual report of the committee
of the Department of Iowa, G.. a. r..
on its visit OF inspection to the Sol

by appearing in pamphlet form, In
connection with the proceedings of the
grand army, held at Mason City In
June. The committee was composed
of Phil Schaller, of Sac City; Colonel

one of the commissioners of the Sol
diers' Home; George Metzger. of Dav-
export, formerly department command
er Of the G. A. r., and Colonel George
W. Crossley, of Webster City.
The report calls attention to the Inn
provements made under the direction
of the board of control as being cred
it to the state, but criticizes the condi ;
the first of the buildings to be erected
on the Home grounds. The commits
tee recommends improvements to this
buildings, for which an appropriation
was made by the last legislature. The
report of the G.. A. r. committee is ii
full as follows:
Commander and Comrades: Your
committee, appointed at the last en-
campment, to visit the Soldiers Home,
beg leave to report that they have per-
formed their duty, but very much MISS
ed the counsel and advice Of the chair
man, Comrade Philip NJ. Grape. who.
between the time of his appointment
and the inspection OF the Home. was
mustered out of the department of Iowa
to join the grand army on high.

committee. with the department COM
mander and the president of the w. r.

them all the opportunity to present any
grievances against the management of

troll, or against one another, and found
universal satisfaction expressed.
ION the 10th the full committee met
at the Home with Department Com
mander Raymond, the department
president, Jennie I. Berry, and the de-
partment secretary, Katharine Farmer,
of the w. r. c., Messrs. Cownie and
Robinson of the board Of control, and
the officers of the Home.
ION that date there were 500 inmates.
of which 716 were old soldiers and
ninety three soldiers wives. The at

eight than the largest attendance at
any time before this winter. since the
organization OF the Home, notwith-
standing the fact that ffty-nine have
died during the past year.
THE Improvements made by the
board OF control are substantial and
for its inmates and credit
able to the great state OF Iowa.
THE management under Colonel
Horton and all OF It's officers is COM
mendable and the appropriations made
by the legislature (altho not all the

were worn thru the floors. the porches
were propped UP with timbers to keep
them from falling. without fire escapes
and not single comfortable chair in
the whole building for those 500 old
soldiers.
I'VE also found that not one room of
the fifty in which old couples were
quartered We're furnished with a
couch, whereby an old lady or an old
man might take their rest in the day
time.
You committee suggested to the
board of control and the commandment
that we ask the legislature for a rea-
sonable appropriation in addition to the
appropriation asked for by them to
remedy these defects, to which they
gave their heartiest support.
There being forty-one application OF
aged couples for admission to the
Home on file, who could not be accom-
modated on account OF the lack OF
rooms, the last couple admitted hav-
ing to wait fourteen months. President
Berry and Secretary Farmer, OF the w.
r. G.. department of lowe, earnestly
plead for an endorsement OF an appro-
priation to erect an addition to the old
peoples building, in order to accom-
MEDIATE at least twenty-five more old
couples. Again the board OF control
and the commandment gave it their sup
port.

BOY ROBBERS PLEAD GUILTY.

Acknowledge Stealing s12.OOO : Not
 Abashed by Court Proceedings.
 New Milford. Conn, April 1.-The five boys who were arrested for taking $12.OOO from Henry Davis, recluse of Lanesville, last Thursday, pleaded guilty when called before Trial Justice Merwin to-day. Guardians were ap- pointed Cor them, and bail of $4,OOO each was fixed for their appearance at the June term of the superior court.
 The boys, whose names are Fred Blodgett, Benjamin Plant, Edward Weimar and Samuel Mccormick of Wa terbury, and John Turner of this place, did not exhibit any concern at being in court. but their parents and other spectators cried so audibly at times that the proceedings were nearly inter- ruDted.
 State Attorney Warner may have a bench warrant issued for the boys to appear in the superior court next Tues day. and it is likely that the case may be disoosed Of at that time
