Special to Times-Republican.
Council Bluffs, Sept. S.-Only the pres
ence in the right place Of gang Of
section men employed by the North
western railroad, prevented probably
one of the worst railroad wrecks ever
occurring in Iowa yesterday near Mis-
souri, Valley. And what the section
men found is described by railroad men
Of years of experience, as one of the
most remarkable effects Of heat upon
rails they have ever witnessed or heard
Of For 200 feet the rails on the west
section of the double track had buckled
and twisted. One rail had been twisted
out of shape and position until it pro-
jected sideways from proper position
and the other rail described the posi-
ton Of cvrawling snake with here and
there a rail curved upwards. The two
inches of space usually left for expan
sion during hot weather hal proven in
sufficient in this case and the section
men franticaily tagged the westbound
passenger and succeeded in having it
stopped just in time.
Engineer James Blaine and Conduc
tor Patrick Hayes, after alighting and
taking look at the track were amazed
and crew and passengers were thankful
for having escaped a fate that would
have been theirs had the section men
not CHANGED to be there. There were
$50 people on the train. The way in
which the rails were twisted made them
look as if they were paper

The effort to secure the endowment
was made directly after the people of
the community had raised 100000 TO
aid the new railroad built into College
Springs. and this is believed to have
been too heavy a drain upon the
purses Of the people. Amity college

Is now to renew the effort to secure
the endowment at A more favorable

Review Of Financial Operations Of

Special ~ 7 lines Republican.
Des Moines, Sept. S.-Major Fleming
who was secretary to several OF the
governors, long time newspaper Writer
and historian of current events. has
recited a part of the history Of Iowa
financial operations in the past involv-
ing authorization Of expenditures OF
large sums and the we'll known fact
that Iowa at one time had a debt of
over a half a million dollars. He is led
to wonder what would have happened
if there had been a Hunter on the
bench when the capitol construction
was authorized or the public improve
ments which involved a certainty OF
going beyond the quarter million debt
limit
1t is certain that if the Judge Hunter
theory Of the limitation of the right OF
the people as 10 taxation and raising
money for public Improvements had
prevailed Iowa could not have built its
present state capitol nor would il ever
have developed its great colleges and
other institutions.
Early Appropriations.
The act of the fourteenth general
assembly under which the capitol was
built started off with there is hereby
appropriated. +, the sum of 100000 for
the year 1872 and 100000 annually
thereafter for the prosecution of the
work on the capitol in the manner pro-
vided by law" and fixed the limit of
cost at s1,3SO.0 900. But altho it involved
expenditures covering eleven years and
sum far in excess Of the limit of in
debtedness for which the present day
obstructionists are such sticklers yet
il was never submitted to vote. In
fact they spent $4,000, 900
Institutions Not Built That Way.
So, also as to state institutions, at a
later period. Liberal appropriations
We're made for these institutions with
out provision for rasiing the money at
all. and as a result a one time the state
was in debt on so-called floating war
rants. over half million interest. ANY
appropriation made during the time
when this illegal state debt was out
standing might have been attacked as
involving a debt beyond the legal iimi-
tation. But the people of Iowa be-
lieved in progress and were looking
forward to the future of a great state
and that was all before the period of the
little Iowans."
No state debt has been incurred in
recent years, because of the fact tina.
each legislature is required to author
ize and direct the levy of tax which
with other sources of income, will NEE,
the obligations Of the state. Each BIZ
ennial period will be complete in anG
for itself. There can be no state debt
There will be none because of the pur-
chase of land and erection of needed
office buildings for the work of the
state.
