Adjutant General Logan received word
from the War department today that the
Iowa g1ardsmen would be expected to go
into camp with the regulars at Sparta,
Wis, next summer. The Iowa troops have
hitherto gone to Fort Riley. 1t is planned

the transportation facilities are excellent.
1t is supposed that the regulars from Fort
Des Moines and from Fort Sheridan and
Fort Smelling win all go to Sparta for the
summer camp.

work OF the Parole board will then be in.

easily.
Ware Released from Prison. ;
Leroy Ware of Wayne county has re-
turned home from Fort Madison. after the
prison doors had been opened by decision
Of the supremen court. Ware had in fact
not been given very hard treatment from
the fact that he is in Door health. 1t is
now believed that nothing further will be
done toward sending him to prison on the
old charge. though he may be prosecuted
on some of the charges that were dropped.
There is also talk that the case may be
taken to the United States supreme court.
