SECURITY OF THE INVESTMENT.

SO far as we can learn. every completed railroad
In the Northwest Is nos only earning the interest on
Its bonds, but a dividend on its stock, and we be-
leye the CENTRAL OF IOWA must occupy an
equally strong financial position.
The amount OF Bonds to be issued is but SIC, ,oes
per mile. or less than four millions In all,
The evening telegraph. [volume] (Philadelphia [Pa.]) 1864-1918, 1870-03-10

This railroad runs 2S4 miles north aud south
through the finest and most thickly settled portion
OF the magnificent State OF Iowa. and the only link
wanting TO connect the railway centres at st Louis
and ST. Paul by an unbroken line 14T miles shorter
than any existing route. This road offers many ad-
vantages. The building OF the railroad north from
st. Paul to Duluth at the head OF Lake Superior.
where i've railroads will centre-the construc-
tion OF the Northern Pacific Railroad already begun
and the rapid development OF new and produo-
tive country In Minnesota and the Northwest must
furnish large Southern traffic. AS the Upper
Mississippi Is frozen during the winter and its
navigation is often uncertain during the summer
from low water, this ROAD must have at all times a
large amount of transportation, and monopoly OF
the business at some seasons OF the year. Its con-
nections with other lines interested by mutual own
ership or running arrangements viii give 1t almost
the entire north and south travel between its termi
nal points and their vicinity
This road will have great advantage over anv
other Western line IN carrying the best quality OF
coal from where 1t is abundant In Southern Iowa to
Northern Iowa and Minnesota, where none is TO be
found, and In securing return freights OF lumber for
which the demand is very great
Forty-sX miles OF the line a.e Just completed and
eighty-eight miles more graded. An abundant
supply OF iron, ties. and other materials has been
contracted for The Company have a large and
daily increasing surplus OF money on hand and the
stock subscriptions and the sales OF the bonds give
them ample means to push the work forward 80

whole line Will be completed this season.

PUBLIC EXECUTIONS.

In spite OF the law providing that criminals
sentenced to death shall be privately executed,
means were devised at Huntingdon on We'd
nesday last to enable thousands of persons to
witness the execution Of Bonner and Boden-
berg. Thronging crowds are as eager now as
in the days of our ancestors to witness "a
hanging match;" and while the injunctions of
the Law are fulfilled with the utmost fidelity
in Philadelphia and few of the more popu-
lous interior counties of the State, they are
practically dead letter in many localities.
When other devices fail, deputy sheriffs
by the hundred are sworn in,
and the spirit Of the existing
The evening telegraph. [volume] (Philadelphia [Pa.]) 1864-1918, 1870-03-10

statute is shamefully disregarded. This evil,
coupled with the analogous one of imperfect
arrangements made by bungling sheriffs,
clearly indicates the necessity Of new legisla-
ton on the subject. In France, we believe,
one man superintends all the executions in
every part OF. the empire, and if we must
continue to hang men, there can be but little
doubt that this unpleasant duty would be
more skilfully and humanely performed if it
was entrusted to an official who was fully i'm
pressed with the necessity of q strict COM
plianoe with the law requiring privacy, and
at the same time competent to avoid the
painful scenes of legal butchery which are
from time to time reported in this and other
States.

THE BILL for the payment of the State His
torian and his clerical force for the last year
was passed by the State Senate yesterday,
with an amendment reducing the clerk hire
from $500 to $4,000. 1t would be matter
of great qualification to us if we could dis
cover what benefits are derived from the
labors of the State Historian by anybody but
himself If in the matter of clerk hire alone
he contrives to run up bill of $780, what
must his own expenses be? The fact is that
the State Historianship is a job for the espe-
cial purpose of taking as much money as pos
sible out of the State Treasury for the benefit
of certain individuals, and it would not be
continued for day if the Legislature were
composed of honest men who had the inte-
rests of the public at heart. 1t is not as
great swindle, perhaps, as some others per-
petrated under legislative auspices, but it is a
swindle of sufficient magnitude to demand
emphatic condemnation.

Flax Culture and Thrcshing.

Flax growing has become an interest OF
magnitude in some parts Of the country, and
is extending TO new sections. Nearly a mil.
lion acres were grown III the interior states
last year (l869). Its culture il found profta.
bic, and is likely to be greatly stimulated
now that there is market not only for the
seed, but for the fibre, and also an economi-
cal method of threshing and saving the seed.
In addition to numerous oil mills which con.
sumo the seed at remunerative prices, many
fax mills for the manufacture of the fibre
or tow into bagging are in operation, Of
which Ohio has thrty-four, Indiana ten
Illinois six, and Wisconsin, Minnesota,
Michigan, Iowa, Missouri and Kentucky
one to ;hree each. One impeachment to fax
culture heretofore has been the incapacity
of ordinary threshing machines to thresh II
economically, owing to the tendency of the
fibre or Tow to catch and wind on everything
it comes IN contact with. This difficulty,
however, seems to be overcome by the Ault.
man Taylor Thresher, made at Mansfield,
Ohio, which is said to handle fax with a.
little trouble rs any other grain. 1t appears
that the same features which give this thresh-
er an advantage III wet and bad conditioned
wheat, oats, etc. viz; the entire absence Of
revolving shafts, heaters, pickers, raddle-
and rollers from the straw passage, and the
peculiar and effective method employed tC
thoroughly shake the grain and seed out OF
the straw-enable it to take through the
hitherto troublesome fax tow without
hindrance, and turn out the seed with re-
markable rapidity, fit for market.-IadaS
