Iowa Farmers College.

Mr.. MAEIN - hasten to give the
conclusion Of the June meeting Of the
Trustees of this Institrtion. The last
account you had of our doinss was tina.
We had adjourned for ten days, in order
to travel and visit sites in Story, Hardin,
Marshall, Tama and Polk counties. We
did 50, and the result was that after sew
eral ballo.ings We located the farm in
Story county, thirty miles north of Des
Moines city, and nine west of Nevada,
the county seat of Story, upon one Of the
most beautiful pieces of land to be found
in the State; with one hundred acres Of
the best Of timber in a semi circle on
the north and west, high prairie aud bot
tom land, creeks and springs
I cannot give all the amount Of SUBJ
scription fund which the people of that
vicinity very generously offered on con.
dition of locating there. The land, 646
acres, costs S., 400. The subscription
will more than pay for this, besides &c.,
900, In county Bonds at 10 per cent,
which that county voted. An executive
committee Of three was appointed, and
authorized te expend not exceeding So
600, to have the land surveyed, and a
Typographical survey made, to have 160
acres broke, Gan Improvement of about
80 is on IT'D and materials for fencing got
out, lumber purchased aud stone quarred
preparatory for building a farm house
aud barn
1t will be seen by this, that the Trus-
tees do not intend to even lay the found
atoms of College building until they are
fully authorized by the State to com lete
it. The next meeting of our Board will
be soon after our Legislature meets. In
the meantime we shall find that no coun.
ty in the State is pleased with our loca.
ton but Story. We may expect to hear
of all false reports and slanderous remarks
We suppose that no place would give
satisfaction At first, for many are genera
disappointed in no. getting it,
You will soon see published report Of
our proceedings, from which you can &c,
. full statement.
To be continued through life

battle between the armies Of Europe. -
The Au.,rians have rctrea.ed to the east

tinues we may expect that the next bat.
tie will be much more destructive than
any that has yet taken place. The Aus
TRANS are now in their strongholds, and
will fight like bulldogs before they will
give up We think Prussia will side
with Austria, and that soon the whole
continent, except, perhaps, Spain, Por-
tugal and Switzerland, will be engaged in
the conflict, and it is probable that Eng
land may be drawn into it. We give in
another column the Proclamation of Ma

Of Italy.

Naturalized Citizens.

The bogus Democracy have always pre-
tended to the foreigners that they were
their only fast friends, and they have in
this way secured many votes, but of late
eur naturalizsd citizens have had occa-
sion to learn a little more Of the real feel
ings Of the Democracy towards them
at tho commencement Of the present
war in Europe, a number Of naturalizcd
citizens we're in Europe temporarily, on
business or on visit Several of them
have been pressed into the army IN their
native Countries. A Mr. Mas, of Dav-
export, was among the number, but for
tuuatcly for him, he was enabled to pro-
cure substitute by paying 500. 1t is
said that a we'll known citizen Of Chica-
co, is at the present time an unwilling
conscript in the Austrian army. In view
of the probability of such occurrences, q
nsturaliscd citizen of Tennessee wrote to
the Secretary Of STATE, to know what
protection would be afforded to tina. elias,
of our citizens, in case they went abroad

EDITOR OF THE Triton ADVERTISER:

EDITOR OF THE Triton ADVERTISER:
Dear Sir believing that any infor
nation from this point in regard to the
late injury to our bridge, would interest
your readers, and noticing in your issue
of the 25th of June that you have par
agraph in relation thereto, ] desire to
say that the injury has been thoroughly
repaired, and that trains are now cross
ing regularly and safely, as heretofore.
Do your people realize the Importance
of this bridge to the interior of Iowa p
Do you know that the cost of brcukage
of bulk on the Mississippi river is equal
to half million dollars per annum, and
that this tax comes off of the producer !?
Even SO And yet your people seem to
be totally indifferent to the war that is
being waged against it BY tho city of ST.
Louis, and few Iowa dead heads.
True that there has been an extraor-
binary fine stage Of water in the river
during this season, and freights have
been unusually low; this tending to
draw freights to St. Louis and New Or
leans. But the river is now falling rap
idly, and those best informed say that
we are to have very low water during the
coming autumn, 30 that the tendency Of
, Iowa products will be eastward to the
lakes. 1t is safe to sag that during the
next FIVE months, the freight crossing
this bridge, will exceed in value fifty pei
cent the amount that will 60 through the
bridge by river
Your people in the interior are more
interested in the permanency of Thu
bridge, than either of the Twin Cities,
and we expec. you, at least, 10 express
public sentiment through your paper
l notice the paragraph in your last is
sue, about the Moline Mill Dam. 70,
are mistaken in supposing that there la
been any serious damage to the mills o
dam Of our Western Lowell. Nothinj
has been removed by the water except a
old mill, and piece of the dam whic'
the company had intended to remov
during the summer. to make way 70
their new and permanent improvements
Everything looks healthy aud refresh
ing in our city and county, and we es
pcct to move more produce, and sc
goods lower than any town on the Nil
sissippi river, in this "neck of woods. "

Railroads.

Tie Muscatinc Branch of tho Upton
Railroad Company have now large force
at work grading the road bed All the
arrangements have been made to pay the
contractors, right along, for two months
at least, which will carry them along till
after harvest, when, if we have good
crops, they will be able to push it to com,
pletion in very short time. We think
the road can be graded from Wilton to
the c., l. & n. r. r by next October.
We learn that the contract il t to re-
sponsible parties to complete the keokuk,
Mt. Pleasant & Muscatinc Railroad from
Keokuk to Columbus City, on the the NJ.
& NJ road, and that it is to be flushed
to Mt. Pleasant this year also, that the
Dubuque Western will in very short
time be completed to Aaamosa. Thus
there will be but short link to complete
railroad from Keokuk to Dubuque
What sane man can doubt but that We can
get aid sufficient to finish up that link
when once the road is graded? There
is every reason for US to be encouraged

the United States Senate, the Homestead
Bill, which was designed to secure free
homes for free people, whether Of native
or foreign birth.
Resolved, That the rights of citizens

TO protection at home and abroad, with
out regard to nativity or duration OF

federal government, a. expressed in the
late official communication Of Lewis Cass,
Secretary of State, to guarantee against
arrest and detention abroad Of naturaliz-
citizens on the ground of their allegiance
to foreign power, is cowardly sbau-
document of the true aud noble position
hitherto occupied BY our government.
The following ,resolations are respect
fully submitted As relating to State
policy:
Resolved, That we re. assert as cardinal
principles of Republicanism the main.
tenaucc of a strict economy in public ex.
peuditures, and the prompt and faithful
discharge by public officers Of their pub
lie duties and We congratulate the PEG
pie of Iowa that the present State ofiiccr'
are entitled to and enjoy their confidence
in the execution of their official duties.
Resolrcd, That, while our State tax ha
been largely reduced, being less in 1885
than the preceding year, and less tn
prescr* year than in 1858, the increas
ing county taxation is becoming so bur
I dsnfome as to call imperatively for re
form in the system of County Admins

My DEAR SIR II have received your
