Special to Times Republican.
Des Moines. May 17.-Iowa people
may be given opportunity to show their
loyalty to and confidence in their own
state fair, the queen Of the midland
group, by advancing the money for the
immediate closing up of the biggest
real estate deal in recent years-the
purchase of the capitol extension
grounds.
The legislature provided, for the sole
purpose of preventing imposition on
the state, that the executive council
could issue certificates payable out Of
the proceeds Of the millage tax as it
comes in. so that ready money might
be had for making the purchases Of
property to best advantage and to head
off the boosting of prices which few
spectators might undertake to make.
BY SO doing 1t is regarded as certain
the state will save large sums OF
money. Without this proviso the cost
Of the extension to the taxpayers will
be much greater.
1t is believed these certificates will
he readily taken by the people Of Iowa
at per cent interest. perhaps at Az
per cent interest.
II they are issued in small denomi-
nations they will be greedily taken by
the people of the state who now have
their savings in the banks at 2 to 4 per
cent interest. The desire 10 that they
be kept out of the hands Of spectators
and professional bond dealers. If they
are offered to the people they will be
taken and the financial problam will
be settled, the sta tie will be saved from
possibility Of any graft and the plans
so well and deliberately laid by the
legislature for identifying the state
house grounds and providing room for
memorials and new buildings will be
completed.

Badsr Place Near Colo.
Nevada, May 17.-An explosion Of a
peculiar nature is reported from the
G. w. Bader farm over northeast OF
Colo a day or 80 ago, when water
tank constructed of wood and erected
as a supply tank for fire protection
for the farm buildings, blew up from
some unknown cause.
The tank was in a small building
erected for the purpose and when the
explosion occurred the noise could be
heard for long distance. Two Or
three sides OF the building were blown
out and the tank was demolished.
There is no way to account for the
explosion. Mr.. Bader was in State

hurried home thinking that it was the
light tank that had exploded but when
he arrived found that 1t was the water
tank located about ten rods from the
house and there was no way to account
for the explosion.
