Lieutenant James Brewer, formerly Company Twenty-third Missouri Infantry, was in the city yesterday, visiting old friend and comrade in arms. Captain Parker, who commanded Company of the same regiment.

Lieutenant Brewer was captured, a strong Democrat, with the division of General Prentiss at Shiloh. He passed through the transformation stage while in the rebel prison-hells, and came out stalwart Radical, lie says now he teaches children to hate the name of secession, et al. and says he will disown them should they vote the ticket of the rebel colors, the Democracy. He is one of many who had tiie Democratic blood purged from their veins by the prison process. Monday- night one of the shackly sidewalks with which Des Moines abounds was cause of a terrible disaster.

Mr. Rob. Jackson and a young lady, while walking Pleasant, between Ninth and Tenth streets, stepped on a loose plank which tilted and threw him over. To the horror of the lady, Mr. Jackson said his leg had been snapped off, aud such proved to be the case.

An express wagon was hailed and Mr. leg taken to Voodry's blacksmith shop, where damages were neatly and expeditiously repaired, by uniting the parts with a brass band. It is fortunate for the city that this leg was of Irish extraction (cork), else damages would pile tip in endless array. A flesh and blood leg would have been just as likely subject for snapping as this one. Webb Sos report the wholesale grocery trade very active.

He went to his old farm In Savior townshiD. un til 1874, when he removed to his present farm in ueiaware township, as a farmer he has been very suooeasf ui.

For black cashmeres and silks go to edit Osgood, Harris BLOWS OX BROWSING. The Chum of Uie Temperance Thorn Re lates How They stole the Cattle. The Grinnell Herald publishes the state ment that Oliver T. Smith, the catspaw of Mr.yi. IL Browning in his cattle-stealing scrape, has turned State's evidence, and his affidavit before Justice Frisbie of that place is to the following effect My name is Oliver Smith.

I reside at Sigourney. Iowa. I am the defendant in this case. I got a letter from Mr. C.

H. Browning to come down to Uttumwa about the 10th day of this month. 1 met him there In the morning, aud he stated to me that he wanted me to sell thirty-four head of cattle for him, to a man in Albia, whose name I do not remember. I asked him where the cattle were to be shipped from, and what kind of cattle tbey were. He said they were cattle that would weigh from 700 to 1,000.

1 could not state tha place he said they were to be shipped trom. I now remember be said it was Gilman. Then be said he would go down to tbe depot at uttumwa and be talking to me otner man. ue directed me to come up rbile they were talking and ask him (Brownimr) if his name wasC. H.

Brownimr He said he would say Tes." Then I was to ask him if he wanted to buy some tattle. He said he would and then turn me over to tbe other man. He told me to sell the cattle for 3H if I could get it, and if not, at 3'4, to be delivered at Albia. I first went and got a paper. Mr.

Browning came up and said the man had all the cattle he wanted. Then we went up town and stayed there about two days. We came up to Oska-loosa on the paaseuzer train, at night. We did not talk a great deal more about the cattle at that time. He then wanted me to go to Des Moines with him.

I told him no. that I would rather go down home. I went down home then, and I got a letter from him to meet him at Grinnell on the next Friday, well, I came tn Grinnell that day and met him. That nigbt, Friday night, or rather Saturday morning, we left for Marshalltown on the freight train. We got into Marshalltown in the morning and stopped at the Kevere House.

On Friday evening, while at Grinnell, Browning told me he had some cattle out In the country that he wanted to bring In that night. He told me men mat nese cattle were bis. and there was a mortgage on them. He wanted me to go out and help him fetch them in. Then he also totu me to go over to the freight omee on the Rock Island road and order two cars for C.

Greene." Browning went over to get a horse, which be Sitid he bad engaged. So 1 went out, and he came along with the horse on horseback. We went out. I guess, some four miiM- then he says," "I don't believe that we had better try it." We then turned and came back to Grinnell and went to Marshall, as 1 have stated. Then on Wednesday following, which was July 10th, 1879, we got on the train at Marshall and came down to Oak Grove, about six miles south off of Griunell, and we got off there and went across east to I can't state the man's name about two miles, we went there, and be told us that was the place where the cattle were.

We drove them up here to town aud put tbem in the Kock Island stock yards. Then he told me to go to the freight office and order two cars for nine o'clock that day. for C. Greene." I went over to tbe freight oflice, and the freight agent was uoi mere, iota tne ooy, tne night-watch, I suppose, to tell the agent to have two cars at tbe chute at the stock tarda. We walked down to tbe Iowa Central freight office and sat down there, and he told me these cattle lielonged to nim ana mat mere was a mortgage on them.

He told me then that this uiorrgage was fore I then tola him that these cattle were going to get us into a scrape. Ail ne said about what 1 was to have for the part I had taken in the matter was that he would bring me a niee suit of clothes from Chi cago. I have been with Mr. Browuing quite a good deal since 1 have known him. There was nobody In any way Interested in tbe taking of the cattle except Browning aud myself, that I know of.

We got th.rtv-two cattle to the stock yard. They were probably worth nearly or quite t800. this statement has been rreefy made, and has been written ic my ureaenoe. and all read over to me, and each and ail the statements therein made are true. Ouvir T.

Smith. Lonsdale Bleached Cotton at retail to- day for 8 cents, at Bird's. Glccosk Factobv. Several persons were in Des Wolnu's yenturday looking into the feasibility of building a glucose factory at this place for the manufacture of syrup and sugar from corn. They want to erect a four-story building with a capacity of 3,000 to 5,000 bushels of corn per day.

All that is necessary to secure the project issufheient encouragement from the citizens of this city. Corn syrups and sugars have a standard rep utation of being better than those made from sugar cane, and, besides, they are not so ex pensive, as they are now selling in this market 33 per cent cheaper. Webb Son report a strong demand for tbe corn syrups, and they have sold three car loads during the last twelve weeks. Tbe location of a glucose factory here would be a great help to Des Moines and would make this a much better market for Iowa's greatest production. Cukuh ginghams cents at Bikd's.
