Our Railroad Debts.

49, seasstV00 1S0I3s
Fort Madison Democrat: a sub.
scriber recently wrote to the Demo
crat asking for a brief history Of the
railroad debt Of Lee county. The
facts as we gather them are as fol.
lows:
BY a vote Of the people in 1856 Lee
county agreed to aid three proposed
railroads to the amount Of $3.50 ooo
each. $4,000 in all. These roads
were projected to run from Keokuk to
Des Moines, from Keokuk to Mt.
Pleasant and Muscatine and from
Fort Madison to West Point. Keosau-
qua and Bloomfield. Some work was
done on each of these roads b.. the
projectors, but no road -yas completed.
The first built was from Keokuk to
Pennington, the second from Keokuk
to Montrose; on the third some grad.
ing and bridging was done, but no
rails laid. Bonds were Issued by the
county to the amount of $3.50, 900,
dated January /, 1857.
The hard times of 1857 coming on,
work ceased on each OF the three
roads.
In 1858 or SO Judge Samuel Doyles
reorganized the Fort Madison road.
sold the remnant of the bonds held by
the company and built the road from
Fort Madison to viele, doing SO by
the aid Of subscriptions from Fort
Madison people and others along the
line. At viele this road connected
with an extension from Montrose of
the Keokuk-l ontrose road. built by
D. w. Kilbourne. who had obtained
control Of the K, Mt. ;. & M.
The county Judge promptly levied a
tax to pay interest on the bonds that
the county had issued and nearly s4O.-
600 was paid into the county treasury
for that purpose when prominent
farmers of the county began injunc-
ton proceedings and thus stopped the
further paying OF the tax.
The civil war coming on affairs re-
lating to the tax question remained In
allegiance until It's close, when the mat
ter was taken into the courts. being
finally passed upon by the u. S. SUI
preme court, which decided the bonds
valid and declared they must be SO
considered and interest and principal
paid-the county board of supervisors
refusing to levy the tax to pay inter
est on the bonds having originated the
legal proceedings. The highest tri.
bunal having decided that the bonds
were valid and President Grant hav.
ing threatened to send troops to the
county to enforce payment II neces-
sary, the county was compelled to
give in and finally arranged for a
compromise of the debt, which had
grown, by addition of interest and
court costs, to $1,07S,415.63 on March
/, 1870. On that date 6 per cent
bonds, running twenty-five years, were
issued to the amount of $4,000. The
balance, s252,415.63, was settled for in
cash, the county having bought in
many bonds at a very low rate, fearing
that the suit might be decided against
the county Just what amount was
paid we have not ascertained. but pre-
.sumably not much more than $40, 700,
the amount that had been paid into
the treasury as taxes prior to the COM
mencement OF the Injunction proceed
ings early in the fight.
On March /, 1895, these twenty-five
year six per cent bonds matured
Many having been bought by the coun.

ty the amount outstanding on that
date was $500 900. These were re-.
f'aded, bearing 4 y per cent. running
twenty years, maturing March /, 1915,
redeemable at the option Of the
county after March i, 1900, on which
date the amount had been reduced
by purchases by the county to $780,
900.
It then appearing that the bonds
could again be refunded at lower
rate Of interest, new issue was made
$3.50, 900 at 81 per cent, on November
is, 1900, maturing in series as fol-
lows:
$4,000 annually on December 1,
1901, to December 1905, inclusive.
$4,000 annually on December 1,
1906. to December i, 1910. inclusive,
100000 annually on December /,
1911, to December 1, 1915. inclusive.
$4,000 annually ON December L,
1915, to December l, 1920, inclusive.
On January l, 1909, the amount Of
outstanding bonds was $376,0O0. This
amount should be $375, 900, but one
bond due has not yet been presented
for payment. AS it bears no interest
after maturity, this Is not material.
There was in the hands Of the county
treasurer on January 1, 1909, In the
railroad bond fund, $13, 1888.
The interest charge this year
amounts to $14,062.50. The interest
charge on the first year Of the present
issue was $40, 625.
For Madlson's and Keokuk's Debts.
y In addition to the aid granted to
the three railways b. the county as
a whole, Fort Madison and Keokuk
voted further aid as cities.
Fort; Madison voted 100000 for
the TT. NJ. w. p, X. & B. and $780,
100 for the Warsaw & Rockford,
across the river Tin Illinois). $4,000
In all. Going through the same legal
struggle as did Lee county, Fort
Madison found itself in the end com
PEELED to settle. Bonds bearing I per
cent interest were originally issued,
just to what amount We have not
looked up. The debt was comprom-
ised and refunded some years ago and
re-refunded July |. 1902. into twenty
year 4 per cent bonds to the amount
Of 100000, payment optional after
July l, 1907.
Keolkuk compromised and refunded
its Indebtedness years ago on very
favorable terms. Just what its rail-
road debt now is we do not know.

his protest was timely and warranted.

It's not myself I'm grieving for, it's

For the little wrinkled face OF her

And It's not the homesick longing tina,
lures me like a swallow,
But tae one voice across the world
that draws me to It's call.

Do you mind the tales you told me

It's kind souls will be about me
when the little one is here;
But it's her word I'm wanting. her
comfort I'd be knowing,
And her blessing on the two Of us
to drive away the fear.
Cts just herself I'm longing for, her

Do you mind the soft spring mornings
when you stitched the wedding

The little, careful stitches, oh me

Canned Music.

In the June Ainslee's Rupert
Hughes, who got his musical ear at
Keokuk, argues for canned music
either Of the pianola or victrola sort,
provided Of course it is not possible
to enjoy Carusa, Paderewski and
others at first bend. The canned mu.
sic is better than none, and really not
bad even when compared with the

the general understanding that one

that 1t is justifiable to shoot a burglar
