Elsewhere will be found an i'm
portant and interesting coninunica-
lion from Knoxville, upon the pros
poets OF the proposed addition to the
railway facilities OF the Capital City.
Tie Quincy d st. Paul Railroad
Company propose to build the road,
ana To have the cars running to Car
Isle, on or before the first day oi
january, 1877, and to Knoxville, on
or before the same date in 1876.
This proposition is of the utmost
Importance to Des Moines. For
wears we have dreamed and talked
of A southern outlet, but adverse cir
cum-tances have prevented our ac-
curing it. Meantime the territory
of our trade has been sbOrn OF It's
prOportions, and the business that
should have come to Des Molnes has
been drifted intoOther channels. This
proposal Of the q. IL. 81. l.. IL. IL. 20.
furnishes solid ground for the nope
that the desired iron route to the
south can be secured.
The proposition Is also most I'M
portant to Knoxville, for the people
there have not even one line of raii-
way, but are forced to pay tribute 10
peila. The farmers In the vicinity
are losers by just the amount OF mo-
ney required To transport their grain
and produce to railroad, and to re-
turn from il after elIecting their sale.
The merchants, IN order To compete
with railroad towns, must shear
their u ofits Of SO much money as ~
required to pay lard carriage from
Knoxville To- the PelIa depot. The

The following correspondence we
clip from the st. Louis Globe of the
I'D ult.:
DEs MONIES, IA, Feb. Is, 1875.
What Is st. Louis about that she
don't take hold of the Quincy aud
st. Paul Railroad project, and help
build another railroad connecting
with the Des Moines Valley aud
Central Iowa? It would add i'm
mensely TO her traffic, and supply
her with articles she needs. Situated
NJ she IL, the great commercial cen
ter between the North and the
South, the new route from Quincy to
Abba, Knoxville and Des Moines
would he Of immense benefit to her
and this section. Draw a line on the
map from st. Louis 10 THIS city, and
| yuu VIII pe Surprfspgt sto fsHtf tnat
nearly all the important cities and
! towns nearly touch the line. The
Quincy IL st. Paul Company are al
ready negotiating with the Abba,
! Knoxville x Des Moines To extend
their line to Knoxville. They ask
| ttlf SufIl vi TpCsDov H'Itt hil it't
chises Of the company. Considers
bic of the road-bed is already grad
ed. The latter company consider the
price TO pay too much, but 1t Is prob
able terms will be agreed upon, so
that the work will go forward.
There is need of another and direct
route TO st. Louis. Now, owing 10
the numerous changes and different
roads, the trade between this section
and st. Louis il comparatively limi-
ted. With a direct and unbr0ken
route IL would become large. There
is stability about st. Louis that
pIeases the Hawkeyes, but they can
not get to her. 1t is vastly more
| pleasant to trade with "A stable and

scarcely start bank check on its
way with any positive assurance 1t
will go through.

The Meteor.

| Prof. Leonard, Of the State Uni
versity at Iowa City, has given more
inquiry and study than other man to
the phenomena presented by the
meteor of Feb. 18th. From his com
munications to the press we find that
il was seen at various points in the
region bounded by Osceola, Birming-
ham, keokuk, Galesburg, (lll.,l
Davenport, Dubuque, Cedar Rapids,
MarshaIltown and Newton. Doubt
less it may have been seen outside OF
these bounds, but these were the
limits so far as heard from up TO the
10th uIt. Prof. l.. thinks the meteor
entered the State at an altitude OF
about 100 miles, and over "A point
near Keokuk, and that its course was
very nearly from southeast to north
west that the explosion took place
nearly over line from Iowa City to
Sigourney; that the main body must
have fallen a few miles east Of Ma
rengo. A fragment was found near
Homestead, Iowa county, weighing
seven pouns, six ounces. 1t has the
appearance OF granite rock, with
black, scuffy coating over that
which formed the outside OF the
original body, and lighter coating
over the line of fracture where IL
was separated from the main body. 1t
fell in pasture field, and bounded
distance OF 80 feet and stopped,
melting slightly the snow under 1t.
Was found Monday, February 18th.
Several fragments were seen to fall
in that vicinity.
Prof. Leonard's letter to the Iowa
City Republican says:
The general appearance Of the me-
teOr Ii thus described by Rev. r.. Is.
Taggart, of Washington: Ii wss 0f u

the outer edge being very bright,

EDITOR JoURNAL:

Having lived for the last year and
half (learly) in that portion of
Kansas most terribly devastated by
grasshoppers, have taken consider

anything In that line myself; vnd
have determined to drop you line

either for their Individual reiiEt Or
for distribution.l
Goods have been sent for distribn-
ton in this county, to private parties,
that have done more real good aud
afforded more substantial relief To
the actual needy than all the goods
as yet sent to our county relief COM
mittee.
There are several reasons why !
would discOuutenance the sending oi
goods for distribution by the coin-
mittees. First, there are reports or
dishonesty and foul play among the
members of the several committees.
second, goods distributed by n,e
committees often reach those " hoaie
not rightfully entitled to them.
Therefore, | believe that goods
sent to private individuals will be
much more likely 10 reach the really
needy and destitute, than II sent
through relief committees.

The st. Joseph Herald, in an able
article on the late elections. calls at
tention to fact, not elsewhere men
toned, we believe, that in all the
Northern States, taken together, the
Democracy or opposition polled fewer
votes in 1874 than in 1872. In those
States its apparent gain was due tC
the absence of $4,000 Republican
voters. But in eight Southern States
it had 100000 majority, and that was
largely due to the intimidation OF
coIored voters and the fear or neglect
of Republicans to vote.

the published reports that ought to
be corrected. Que is that these me-
teoric masses which alight upon the
earth are but fragments of passing
mete0rs Of much larger size, where
as there Is small reason for surprising
that any case has ever occurred where
a part of any body came down and
another part went ON its course; and
another Is that these bodies are COM
posed almost entirely Of iron, where.
Us there are some In which the pro-
portion of iron Is very small, as for
instance the Guernsey county mete-
or, the most noted of modern times,
whose fragments weighed some TOO
pounds the Linn county, Iowa me-
teor; the fall i'm L'Aigle, France
these We're all stony In their struc-
ture. / think we may safely pass, AZ
a mere pleasantly, such remarks as
we find In some of our journals, as
would imply that a meteor Is mere
founger in space, having no orbit IN
which TO move, nor any special par I
to bear In the universe. 1t may be
well, however, to remember that
ooiiS VI tio yVutuS WnO Icnu euVoc
statements will take them for facts.
Let 1t always be insisted upon that
the laws which govern the motions
Of the bodies Of the solar system are
the same, whether applied to the
mighty Jupiter or to the smallest
meteoric grain. What design they
are to fulfill, whether they are to
feed the falling fires Of the sun, con-

as they have to some extent for az ss
past, to the growth Of the earth and
her sister planets, or are reserved for
some other as yet unimagined pur-
pose, we may leave our future to de-
termine without losing our faith in
the doctrine that nothing was made
without an intelligent design.

in the Des Moines river is moving,
is frequently compelled to await its
subsidence before he can leave home
or return to it. The immense coal
deposits of the south western portion
of Marion county are now Of no val.
ue save, for an insignificant local
trade. In short the people Of Knox
vile are isolated from business aud
almost from the world on account OF
the absence of rail communication.
The Quincy Il st. Paul Company
offer to remedy all this. For a town
ship tax aud Il sum Of money, by no
means large in comparison with the
benefits that will accrue from tile
building of the new line, they pro-
pose to place Knoxville and all TINT
portion of the county on footing
with other portions Of the State.
These considerations should .cer-
tainly be sufficient to urge every
man in that vicinity to allow moth
ing to come between the project and
success. The wealth is there. There
Is scarcely similar number OF acres
in the State SO profitable to the hns-
bandman as those lying on either
side of the proposed line from Abba to
Carlisle. Knoxville is the very heart
Of country wealthy in every product
and poor only because Of its isolation.
Can the people there afford to neg
lect profiting by this offer? Raise
the amount required; stretch your
iron arms to Carlisle, and Des MOincs
will meet you and greet you over
the completion Of the great trunk
line that shall unite the Lakes and
the Gulf.

vegetables is beyond estimate.
