Important Railroad Transaction.

For some time negotiations have
been in progress between the Direc-
tors of the Dubuque & Pacific Rail
road Company and the creditors of the
corporation for some adjustment OF
the debt Of the company, whereby a
forcible foreclosure and sale of the
property would be avoided, and pro.
vision be made for an extension of the
road to Cedar Falls during the pres
cnt fall. These negotiations have
finally ended in an amcable arrange
mcnt, and we now have the satisfac-
ton of announcing that by virtue OF
il the road will he unincumbered OF
debt and extended to the Cedar River
in less than one hundred days, with
the prospect Of a further extension
next year to Iowa Falls ! The follow
ing is, in brief, statement Of the
facts connected with the arrange
meat:
As is probably pretty generally
known, the Dubuque and Pacific Rail-
road Company have for some time
been unable to pay the interest on its
bonds. Many of the holders of these
obligations being themselves stock
holders, have been anxious to avoid
the necessity of bringing the property
OF the road to forced sale, and have
therefore extended all the lenity in
their power to the company. They
were finally compelled, however, to
insist upon their dues, and coDpul-
sorry foreclosure would have been the
result had not a compromise been
effected. The Bond-holders, Trustees,
and Directors had a meeting for con.
sultation on Monday and Tuesday,
and gu agreement was entered into, of
which the following are the outlines
The owners of bonds in place of that
species of obligations agree to take
preferred stock, and in lieu of inter
est consent to receive dividends from
the earnings of the road. The Direc
tors on their part consent to surrcn
der Of the organization, property anc
franchises of the Dubuque a. Pacific
Company, and transfer Of the same
together with the stock of the Com
pany to new corporation to be
known as the Dubuque and Sioux
City Railroad Company, whose CAPT.
tai stock shall be $4,000, 900, and the
issue of bonds limited to $4,000, 900.
Until the annual election for the
choice of Directors, which will be on
the 18th of February next, the new
corporation will be under the control
of board of Provisional Directors
consisting of Messrs. Hermann Gelp
ckc, Plat Smith, w. w. Hamilton
and NJ. X. Jessnp-the gentlemen
composing the present Board Of Trus

The Milwaukee and Mississippi
Railroad Company are erecting an
elevator and building new barges at
Prairie du CHEN, in order to be in
readiness for accommodating the i'm
mense grain trade of this fall. This
Railroad Company appear to be do
ing all in their power to accommodate
the business of Northern Iowa, and
pledge themselves that charges for
the transportation of freight shall in
all cases be as low by their line as
by any other. Mr.. Lawler, who has
charge of the Company's business at
Prairie du Chieu, is very attentive
and courteous toward all who have
occasion to transact business with

interests of shippers are no where else
better cared for than they are by him
at Prairie du Chen.

Senator DOOliilIe at ST. Louis.

There was an immense mass meet.
ing of the free Republican democracy
at st. Louis, on Friday night, August
Sd, and Senator Doolttic of WiscOn.
sin was one Of the speakers The
Democrat Of that city says or him
Senator Doolittlr, of Wisconsin,
continued the trlhntc of appreciation
paid to Mr.. Blair, and effectively urged
the irecmcn of st. Louis to sustain
their gallant header in the cause Of
making Missouri free State. He
then impressivcIy presented the fact
and proved and illustrated it from his
tory, and by telling anccdotc, that the
Republican party is the true demo
cratic party Of revolutionary and con
stitutiomal liberty, and Of jefferson,
jackson and Benton. He showed at
length that party is to be sought for
in, and only in its principles, and not
in caucuses or Conventions, or com
mittccs of partizan politicians.
His speed, took with the multi.
tudcs, who drank in his clear and re-
sistlcss logic and manly eloqucnrc
with almost breathlcss interest, re-
licvcd only 10y hearty bursts Of APP
plausc. When the Senator cSsaycd
to stop and make way for others, the
universal cry that he shonid ego on
engaged him again. He closed by ar
raigning Douglas for desiring, as an
ambitions aspirant for the Presidency,
to confer upon the President the vast
power Of initiating a war at pleasure.
accounting in graphic cpitome the
political crimes and hcrcsics of the
Little Giant, the Senator concluded 10y
avcrring that if the people could for
give everything else in Mr.. Douglas
career. they could neither forget nor
forgive this insidious attempt to rcvo.
lutionize the government Of the Uni
ted States, and transform it from a
Republic to a Monarchy.

Stimulating Youthful Ambition.

Commodore Vanderbilt, of New
York, though counted worth millions,
is an uncducated man. He began
life as a steamboat hand, became
captain, and is now one of the veal
thiest men in America. He entered a
son at West Point. Sln order to make
him thorough student and pride to
his parents, his father gave him to I'M
derstand that he should have $50 900
if he graduated at all, and 100000
if his name was found among the five
distinguished cadets.
To gain the latter honor requires
something beyond mere desire OF de-
termination to do it. High qualities
of intellect, great power of applica-
tion, irreproachablc morals, and mind
well balanced in many respects, must
be found in the five Young men who
carry off the first honors.
1t is known that the course is so
severe at West Point, that many break
down or are sent away without grad
uating Young Vanderbilt has grad
mated with credit, but not among the
five distinguished. Still his rich papa
is 50 we'll pleased with his success
that he pays over the $50, 900 with a
great deal of qualification. This is
not a bad way for a wealthy father to
induce his son to lead studiOus and
correct life, while he is undergoing
the temptations and trials of college
life.
1t is always noted that uncducated
men value education the more highly,
the longer they live and the more they
see of the world. Commodore Van.
dcrbilt has two sons.in.law-with not
a dime in money, bnt highly educated
men. One is a clergyman, and one a
lawyer and member Of Congress, (Hor.
ace F. Clark, who is noted for high
literary culture. He spends his wifc's
money elegantly, and the Commodore
considers him most crcditablc son
in-law. The Commodore knows how
to make his hundreds of thousands
yearly, but Greek and Latin, &c ar,
all a profound mystery to him. 1t il
thus through marriage that education
renders great wealth suhscrvicnt I
its purposes, and thus does it distril
. ute and equalizc the boards Of thos
who have the peculiar faculty of NAL
ing money-and, perhaps, Of dOin
: nothing else.

TIE Iowa GRAIN CR0P. Gen. VIM.
Duane Wilson, Secretary of the Iowa
Agricultural Bureau, in a letter to the
Burlington lIawkeye, estimates that
1928 ,G07 acres Of wheat were cult
waited in Iowa this year, and that the
average yield was sixteen bushels
per acre. This would give an aggre-
gate of Is, 49l, Il2 bushels He esti-
mates the quality of the crop at %
per cent. better than it has been for
years. In his opinion the surplus
portion of this product will be worth
$7,200,000. The estimated number
of acres of corn is ,248,027 and the
average yield, As bushels per acre,
making a total of Sc, l6l ,2l5 bushels.
The surplus of this crop would be
worth not far from 100000.
