is no prospect oil any permanent decline
IN prices. Its a fact which iHtelligen

The JonosborO Ga.etts says: $j3i,
1l2.lSis what the architect Of the state
house at Springfield says it will take t
finish it and the voters OF Illinois at III
November election will be called upol
to vote tor or against an appropriation G

fraud and corruption in building tn
state house; but it so, it would certainl

to endanger the completion Of a gran
building that Will, when finished, be III
| pride Of every IllinoiBan, and one Of tn
best buildings in America.
