On October 1 outstandIng bonds to the a mount of 70,000 issued by the city vllI f all ilue nail the council is taking steps t o provide for their luiymcnt. The fund a vailable for the retirement of these bonds , t ue city officials estimate , wlli by October h o about $10,000 and the remainder will be p rovlilcti for by refunding. It Is iiroirnscd t o Issue now bonds to the amount of $30- 0 00. Tue matter has been placed in the h ands of thu fInance committee of thu city c ouncil with instructions to report at the t iext meeting. There has never been any u nbutton raised as to tIm validity of these b ends which fall duo next October , as at t he time they were issued the city's in- dt ebtetlness , inclusive of Its entire obliga- t ions , was consIderably under the constitu- t honal limit. J. .1 , Shea in lila Injunction s tilt against the city does not. include these b ends in the list of outstanding obliga- t hens , the validity of which he assails. The bonds were Issued by the city in t he latter part of September , 1878 , the orig- m at amount being $74,000 , niul were for t ue vuriosa of paying bonds then becoming duo on October of that year , known as the roooo loan anti the $20,000 loan , known as t he fire bonds , and optional bonds of the $ 25,000 loan of 1871 and of the Collins' judg- m eat bond loan , The bonds carried 7 per cciii interest , which was payable semiannually - nually at the Metropolitan bank in New York , These bonds , unlike other issues of the city , were not optional and with the exception of $4,000 the city has had no opportunity to retire nay ot them , as ( ho eastern parties holding them hail no desire to part with securities which were drawing 7 per cent interest. A little over a year ago the city was able to retire $4,000 of these bonds , which were held by local par- tics and who desired to sell them. By issuing new refunding bonds for $30- 000 the city will save 2 ½ per cent interest ; on this amount as the new bonds , it is e - pected , can be floated at 44 per cent. The how tasue is to become due October 1 , 11113 , with the privilege of payment after Octo- : her 1. 1902. As soon as the liea suit is settled the city will in all probability take the same steps to refund its outstanding indebtedness - ness , which , it is believed , can be done at the same rate of interest.

'rnovIJI.13s OI' AN IOWA REGIMENT. Factional Qunrrt'mnuil Ugly Things Snkt AIoiit the OflIcer , Two cliques exist among the omcers of t he Fifty-first Iowa regiment and the feel- i ng between them Is not concealed , says it t he San Francisco Chronicle , The one sliich Is seemingly in the ascendant s h eaded by Colonel Leper , and it is Ire- paring to force the retirement of the leader of the oilier side , Lieutenant Colonel Mu- I cr. on the grounds of alleged inefficiency and lack of application. The friends of the lieutenant colonel blame Colonel Leper I for the tardiness with which the regiment Is being equipped and charge him with lackness of discipline anit ignorance of reg- Imcntal drill , which , they say , have coin- hined to keep the regiment from being sent t o the Philippines. They charge that the colonel amid several of his staft have openly expressed their reluctance to ho sent to tlio Phuiippumies at alh , preferring rnther to garrison some home post. On account of this trouble at least two of the officers not directly engaged in the dispute are taking some steps to secure their tranBfer to some other regiment. A member of Colonel Loper's staff said yesterday - terday : "Tills is a pratty state of affairs. A num- her of the oflicors do not speak to each other , though they meet three times a ' day at mess. Any day may see a physical encounter - counter among them. The enlisted men itrc beginning to see the trouble between their officers and are already taking aides , " Another prominent ofllcer In the regiment , said : "A few days ago Miller was informed - formed that for his own good anti ( lint of the regiment he ought to retire voluntarily. lIe replied that he would not do so and would tight any attempt to ouSt him , Some of mis have demanded of Colonel Leper that lie secure the appointment of a board of examination to pass upon Miller's fitness for lmi $ place. One of Miller's friends , a major , was rejected by two boards of phys- lent examiners , but was mustered in by order of time sccretary of war through the inhhiicnce of Senator Gear and certain railroad - road ofilcora with whom lie is connected. Should Miller hot retire of his own accord I an certain that charges against him will be put. In the hands of General Mer- riom. " A staff officer who sides wIth Lieutenant Colonel Miller said yesterday that there was much talk of seeking to bring about thte retIrement of Colonel Loper. Ho tIe- flied ( lint a majority of the company officers - cers favored him and said most of them would be glad to see him superseded by the lieutenant. colonel , Iteii' ' Storm at Creston , CItES'FON , In , , July 10.-Specal ( ) Tele- grani-A ) heavy wind storm assuming cyclonic - clonic proportions struck Creston this even- log , blowing down fences and small outbuildings - buildings , breaking shade trees and carry- log small boxes through the streets , 3ev- oral delivery wagons were blown over and window glass broken , An expensive plate glass In Ohlschlnger's saloon was blown In , The storm caine up suddenly and people vore greatly alarmed.

COLLEGE. t'lnis Adopted LisIow lo et Thesis AMES , Ia. , July 19-Speciah.-A ( ) now plan to extend the usefulness of the Iowa Agricultural college has been devised , whIch promIses to make that great educational institution - stitution of immense use to th& Iowa far- nier in a way never before attempted. The plan suggested , and which will , at least , be given a thorough trial , is the running of cheap excursions from different parts of the state to Ames , that the farmers of Iowa , who arc especially interested In the institution , may inspect the work in prog- tees there and recoivb the benefits of the Improved methods of farming which are be- lag devisetl by the skillful and selemitlfleally trained corps of teachers in charge of the dIfferent departments of the school. The excursIons which have already been rilanmied are to be run over the Northwestern road. They will he mainly from northern and northwestern Iowa , They are being arranged - ranged for by C. F. Curtiss , and it is hoped that the other roads can be lnducqd to give rates equally good. Thnt the expense of the trip may be kept as low as possible , It Is proposed to furnisit a good substantial dInner - ner for theexcursionists while at the cal- logo at a small prIce , probably 25 cents. The excursion will be made seine time In August and will be followed by others , it beIng thought ( lint after harvest the far- rncrs can leave their work better than at any other time , The officials of ( ho college are much interested in the proposed excursIon , , as they think that the work of the college - loge is not beIng understood by the people at large over the state.
