IOWA CENTRAL RAILROAD.

We are happy to learn that the work
of grading southwark from this place
is being showed forward with good
deal of vigor, and that our II miles of
the Central Road will be finished in
September, according to contract.
We have seen letter from our towns
man, General Agent Barnum. who is
now at Abba, in Monroe County, look
ing after the interests of the road in
which he says:-~Monroe county has
over $50, 900 raised, and will soon obtain
$500 or more additional This will
about complete the assigned subscrip-
ton of that county, and ensures the
speedy completion of the road North
ward to Oskaloosa. The only remain
ing gap to be attended to is the central
section between Oskaloosa and Toledo !;
and that will be promptly put forward.
The following letter from President
Smith is very encouraging, and suf1i-
GENTLY explains itself: ga.
OFFICE OF THE Iowa CENTRAL r. r. Co.,
OSKALoosA, Iowa, July IL, 1896. !
EDITOR CEDAR FALLS GAZETTE:
( Dear Sir We now have seventy
five miles of our road under contract
and partly finished, and will soon con-
tract the entire balance of the line
south of your place. So soon as this is
done, | trust the necessary arrange
ments shall have been perfected, to au-
thOriZe our company to contract that
part of our line, from Cedar Falls to the
south end of the Minnesota Central
Railroad, with which. we have made
arrangements for a connection. With
this direct line of road, no other enter
prise can successfully compete; nor is
it to the interest of the people along the
line of our northern division, to embar-
rasS themselves by supporting any 9TH
err organization, gotten up more for the
purpose of throwing obstacles in our
way than with view of benefiting the
the country. What we have accom-
plished end are now doing south of
pour city, is as much for the interest of
our entire line, from the north end of
the North Missouri Raiiroad to the south
end of the Minnesota Central Railroad,
as if done in the northern portion of the
State. And the progress of our work
and the condition of our affairs, will
permit us soon to take all the necessary
steps, to put that part of our line under
contract. l have already made all the
necessary preliminary arrangements,
for the sale Of sufficient amount of
bonds Of our company, to secure to us
the necessary iron and rolling stock for
our road.
~Aa,.s Yours truly, -.,.

WIN. T. SMITH, Pres't,

P. S.-Wc have only further, to invite
attention to the following article talk en-
from the Eddyville Independent of July
25th: e.
THE Iowa CENTRAL RAILROAD
Mr.. Ives Of this city, who has been at
Oskaloosa attending meeting of the
Directors of this road, informs us that
they had an enthusiastic meeting. Mr..
Smith, President of the Road, who has
been attending the great Railroad Con-
vention at Philadelphia, has returned,
reporting everything in the best posi-
bic shape. Owing to the late hour at
which we received our information we
shall only give brief summary of the
Railroad matters that have occurred
since Mr.. S. started East:
He secured fine map of the route OF
for delivery by the 1st of August.
Had proposals from the North Mis-
souri, Company, to meet on the 26th OF
July, at the State line to agree upon q
place Of junction with the \. NJ. d |.
&. Co., n union depot &c. e.
Had assurances from j. Cook & Co.,
who have examined into character and
prospects of the Iowa Central, that they
would aid insthe securing of bonds.
Saw w. s. Gilman, Banker of New
York, and one of the largest real estate
owners in this city, and got assurances
of his aid in raising the amount of stock
required of Eddyville. -.
Resolutions We're passed by the Board
Of Directors extending the time forrais-
/ ing"the amount of stock required OF
Monroe county, to the LIST of August, at
which time work will commence all
along the line through that county.
~The corps of engineers now in Mon
roecounty making surveys, willsbe Al
EddSville in about three weeks from
this time, when the citizens of Eddy
vile will be called upon to raise the
amount of Stock required of them. ~
The meeting, Mr.. Ives says, was re-
marlsable for the unity of feeling which
existed, and no doubt exists in the
minds of any but that the road will be
speedily pushed TO completion.
The North Missouri Company have
recently sold 1900 900 of her bonds,
and that road will now be prosecuted
without delay to the Iowa line where
the Iowa Central joins hands with her.
Friends let us thank God and take
courage. Let us, each and all, with our
coats Of, and sleeves rolled up, 20 to
work with determination to leave
nothing undone to help this great and
important work along. With a cross
railroad we have direct, accumulation
with ell points of the compass and with
our water privileges, twenty-five or
thirty inexhaustable coal banks that
are now open, timber, coal, stone, and
everything else necessary for u manu-
featuring town, our future cannot but
be glorious if we but use in rational
manner, the immense resources SO law
ishly given by the hand of beneficent
Providence. When the proper time
comes, let us work in a manner CORES
responding with the interest at stake.

another Printing Press.-We have
just got into the GAZETTE Office an adj
ditional press, Gordon power jobber,

With three good presses running, we
propose to turn off all sorts of work with
neatness and dispatch.

The Sunday Ordinance The city or
dinance for closing all saloons and
drinking places on the Sabbath, was in
force for the first time last Sunday. So
far as We can learn, there was general
closing up of all such places, and there
was no complaint for breach of the or
dinance. This speaks well for the law
and order disposition of our people;
and it is to be hoped that there will ne
no occasion for prosecution In this re-
spect. Thus by general consent shall
we be blessed with quiet and welt-or-
dered Sabbath arrangement in Cedar
Falls, to our exceeding great credit and
advantage with strangers and seekers
for home, as well as to cur own great
social and moral improvement.
1t is true, there was a drinking gar
den started last sunday just outside the
city limits, with conveyance running
to and fro. Also o little episode on
Sunday night, a wheelbarrow being
trundled along Main street with free
lager dealt out to the crowd, to the
amount of six kegs full. But all this
sportive evasion only shows how sure
and unacceptable the ordinance itself is
felt to be. The going over the border
is confession that our city itself is
clear of the Sunday traffic; the taking
of the night for the free carcusal, IS a
confession that liquor is afraid and
ashamed of the Sabbath Daylight in
Cedar Falls.
That whcel-barrow game was no
doubt considered good joke; aasd as
such it may pass for once, but it is some
what expensive, and will hardly sue
coed as a permanent institution. 1t
may be found thatthe city has control
of its streets, and that its police are
bound to keep good order, especially OH
Holidays and Sundays. We are dis
posed to look at these demonstrations
as only the funny expiring spasms OF
the Sunday liquor traffic; and OH the
whole, we regard the cause of city law
and orderas presenting an encouraging
aspect, and the general cause Of temper
ance as in very hopeful way.

n Fail in Lu1a5er.-As we came down
F1rststreet one evening last week, we
heard mighty crash; and rushing to
the spot where crowd was gathering,
we found that the new building just
put up as smithery by Thomas Luna
man, had fallen to the ground. There
were no braces, and the ties overhead
were fastened only by few ten-penny
nails! A herd Of COWS stood rumina-
ting in the rear, and one of them, most
likely, threw down the wondrous fabric
in rubbing herself against the corner
board! The whole was now sightless
wreck, fit warning to all who carelessly
throw q few boards together and call it
n building. Friend Thomas should
thank Providence That the thing went
down as it did, to save his own neck,
from like fall next day with himself
inside. lT

there was a terrific gale and rain storm
at Dubuque, wherein the lightning
struck and injured the new Presbyteri-

A NeU Bridge.-It will be seen by
the City Council proceedings, which
we print to-day, that an appropriation
of So, 600 has been voted, in addition to
the $4,000 already granted by the coun-
'ty, for the erection of a substantial
street bridge over the Cedar River, at
this city. With the means thus furn-
ished, the officials duly deputed for tie
purpose, will doubtless proceed at once
to erect the new piers, and contract for
the new bridge. twill be great and
much needed Improvement to Cedar
Falls. In the mean time it is proposed
to shore up the present somewhat diup-
.idated structure, and make it safe as
possible for the time being.

Real Estate and Collection Agcncy.-
We would call special attention this

sother column. Mr.. J.. A. Bowman,
who is partner in this firm, has long
been engaged in the real estate business
in Iowa; and through the immense ag-
1dcaltural implement traffic of Mr..
French in all directions, the new firm
have uncommon facilities for the pur-
chose and sale Of lands. Their office, at
French's warehouse, is the general
headquarters for farmers and land-own-
ers. And we judge that any person
wishing to buy or sell real estate,
whether resident here, or coming
from abroad, cannot do better than to
call upon I. l.. French & Co.

Cutting their 7eeM.-The MarengoR Re
publican tells of q rat caught in that
town, two of whose teeth had grown
upward in a semicircle, till one had
penetrated its eye, and the opposite one
its nose. The poor animal was nearly
dead of starvation, not being able to
chew. But this freak of nature isn't
equal to that found in some Johnson
rats of these parts. They are so absorb
ed in the "bread and butter" question,
that their teeth have grown not only
round into their eyes, putting out all
sight of the truth, but round into their
ears, making them deaf as adders to all
sound sense. Poor, half starved ami
mails! what viii they do when they
can chew the public fodder no more?
