iowa CrTY SUBscRIPTIoN.-The Daven-
port Gazette expresses disappointment that
the citizens of Iowa City have subscribed
80 meagrely towards their quota of the
Railroad stock, and thinks that Mr.. Farnam
himself will be greatly disappointed when
he hears the result. It adds: eIf the good
folks in that quarter suppose that their end
OF the road is to be put under contract until
they have fulfilled their part of the under.
taking, their bump of hope is more largely
developed than ours. Mr.. Farnam will prob.
ably be here next week, and from advices
given him heretofore, will be disappointed
in result of things at Iowa City,"

stupid about it. that they not only neglect
to inform the people, but when they are
asked for important information, they can
not give it for the best of reasons--they
know but little about themselves.
Now let US consider what would be the
condition Of this place if Davenport builds
her road and we reject, neglect, or refuse to
build ours. do not hesitate to say that
every branch of business and every foot
OF real estate in and around this place
would be decreased, or rather increased
