A BAD MAN DETEcTED.

Sons time last summer, 9 man by
the name of Ephraim Day, living
about one mile and q half east OF
Creston, had two horses killed on
public crossing Of the c. B. & Q. r.
R., at point near Days residence,
and the Company not being liable
for killing stock on crossings, Day
took the matter in his own hands,
and commenced to get even by cut
ting down telegraph poles at night,
cutting tie wires, and placing OBJ
structions, such as ties and other
substances of similar nature on the
track, and in one instance ditched an
engine. He also cut derrick ropes
halfin two, making their use danger
GUS to the employees in hosting rock,
bridge timbers, &c. The misdeeds of
this party were becoming rather
monotonous, and the Company put
their detective, Major Wood, on his
track, which was apositive assurance
that the game would be brought
down in time. Last Sunday night,
the Major, with party Of reliable
assistants, concluded to picket the
road, business at which the Major
has had experience, and before the
night was half through, caught the
fellow on the track in the act of cut
ting down a telegraph pole, provided
with an axe, cold chisel and hammer,
probably with which to cut the wire,
and with bundle of matches, no
doubt intended to be used in burning
bridge.
After arrest he made confession
of almost all depredations that had
been committed, and included some
misdeeds that had not been charged
to his account. The prisoner, after
being informed of the severe penalty
of the law, went into commissions,
and it was feared for q time that he
would not recover. This man is a
farmer, living near the track, and has
a wife and six children. In conclu-
ding this statement, we may say
that people should not to vent their
spleen on the Company by cutting
wires or placing distractions on the
track, undertake to endanger the
lives of innocent passengers by such
conduct, as the result will be the full
penalty of the law, whatever that
may be. We have our information
from reliable source.-Daily Of The

TRANSPORTATION.

Iowa being almost exclusively an
agricultural state, and in fact, in the
growth of some of the cereals being
and is the leading state in the nation,
the question of the transportation Of
her products is most important one
to all her people. In the early history
of the state, the great rivers which
form her eastern and western bound
aries were the only avenues by which
our products sought market. With
in the past twenty years system OF
railways has been constructed which
penetrate almost every county in the
state. Owing to natural distractions
in the channel of the Mississippi riy-
or, and its virtual closing during the
late war, our products have Of neces-
sity been carried to market by rail
alone. By the recent completion Of
the canal around the rapids at Keo-
kuk, and the apparent success Of the
system of jetties now in operation at
the mouth of the river, whereby ships
of large draught have easy access to
New Orleans, thus giving additional
facilities for the transportation of our
products to foreign ports, 1t 10 plain
TO see that in the near future q healthy
competition must arise between the
railway and river systems of trans
portation, the benefits of which must
accrue directly to our grain-produc.
ing interests, and it is to be hoped
