The New Atlas of Iowa.

Mr.. F. Rowland, who is now in our
city in the interest of the Andreas' Atlas
of Iowa, called at our Office and showed
us sample of the work on the State
Atlas of Minnesota, which MIR. Andreas
intends as model Of the Atlas he is get
ting up for our State.
His Minnesota Atlas is now about ready
for delivery, and the immense subscrip-
ton to the book, comprising many of the
most prominent men of the State, is the
best guarantee of the great value set upon
it by those who desire Il more thorough
and accurate knowledge Of the State in
which they live. 1t is a complete en-
cyclopedia of the State 1t will contain
illustrated maps and histories of every
county in the State Our State is COM
paratively new, and but very little is
known of the history of large majority
of the counties, and u map of this kind
will not only be valuable and interesting
to old residents, but must be of great
worth to STRANGERS and spectators, and
in fact to all who may wish correct
knowledge Of the topography, geography
and history of our State.
1t will also contain u condensed politi-
cal history of the State, together with fine
cngravings of private and public build
ings and portraits of prominent men.
The name of every subscriber with place
of residence and nativity will appear in
the Atlas, and in fact every kind of infor-
nation that can be desired in regard to
the climate, SOIL agricultural products,
finances, and politics Of the State. Geo
logical and Neurological information, all
this, and more too, will be found in the
book. 1t is what every person desires,
going to- or residing in new, and grow
ing State q book full of general informa-
ton.
Several agents are now in this county
in the interest Of this enterprise, and will
exhibit sample made up of few pages
of the Atlas of Minnesota, which of it.
self will be sufficient evidence that the
book is deserving the consideration and
patronage of every one, 1t is far from
orr purpose, and certainly foreign to our
inclination to write matter of this kind
into public notice, without first being
thoroughly convinced that it is Il meritor-
ious work We would therefore say to
our readers, to give the specimen Atlas of
Minnesota thorough investigation, and
we believe that you will come to the same
conclusion that we have, that it is work
of merit, and should be in every house in
the State.

wind work Winthrop built steam flour

THE LIBRARY.-The Free Public Libra
ry, in which our whole community have
come to take a just pride, and one of the
most popular and benifcent institutions
in our midst, has been removed from the
temporary quarters occupied since the fire,
to the large, elegant, and convenient
rooms prepared for it in Morse & Tabor's
building. These rooms comprise 80 feet
in depth of the rear portion of the upper
story, and are reached easily and directly
from the wide hall and stairway in front.
The visitor first enters the library room
proper, which is 10 by so feet On the
east wall of the room are the shelves, and
half way down its length is the librarians
desk. A railing separates these from the
walk leading to the Reading Room
East of the Library room, and reached
by door to the left of the general en-
trance, is room 10 by 40 feet, designed
for the Museum. 1t is conveniently ar
ranged for the reception of geological and
meteorological specimens and curiosities
from all departments of nature. 1t is de-
signed to make this feature of the institu-
ton one of interest and value, and to this
end contributions are solicited.
On the right, and entered by door op-
positc the librarians desk is the Reading
Room This is the largest apartment in
the series, being 1S by so feet. 1t is fit
ted up in most tasteful style, with hand
some carpets, chandeliers, furniture, etc.
In the centre of the room arc number of
large tables, upon which is spread the pc
riodical literature of the day, pictorial pa
pers, etc., and about which are comforta-
bic arm chairs for the accommodation Of
the public. Around the sides of the room
are the files for newspapers.
The rooms being well lighted and warm
ed, and having such an air of cosiness
and comfort, scores of young and old are
drawn within the healthful influences of
the institution. In this, and in all other
respects, the Free Public Library is COM
plcte success. 1t has won its way into
public recognition and countcnance as a
most useful and beneficial agency, worth
ten times all it costs in the way of taxes,
as counteracting influence to the saloon
and street corner. There are none who
gave their voice for the Library who re-
greet it, and few who opposed it at first,
who are not now its warm friends. The
Library has been fortunate in its manage
ment, the gentlemen comprising the board
of directors being most mdefatigable in
all efforts to advance its interests and
make it a credit to our city. In preparing
the new quarters they have incurred some
considerable expense. This they desire to
pay without encroaching upon the fund
set apart for purchase of books &c. The
sum yet needed to wipe out this indebted
ness is about $500, and to secure it the d.
rectors rely upon the liberality of gener-
GUS public, not without good reason we
trust.

Stop That Cough !

Many persons hesitate to try remedy
for disease, on account of the expense.
connected with the uncertainty of its ben
efitting them; while, at the same time, had
they confidence in that remedy, the ex-
pense would be the least objection. With
this fact in view, we make the following
proposition: Any person suffering with
"A cold, cough or sore throat, that will call
at P. Tabor & Sons store and purchase a
bottle of Hales Cough Cordial, use one
half of 1t, and if they then conclude that
it is doing them no good, they can return
the bottle and receive back their money.
No medicine ever sold in this vicinity,
that produced such magical results. Don't
fail to try it. Orange Williams, Proprie-
