THE EXCHANGE CRACKING.
The North Wall Bulged and Settling
An investigation to be Made.

The North Wall Bulged and Settling
An investigation to be Made.
The north wall Of the city exchange has
bulged several inches in the last day or two
Two cracks beginning near the foundation
and running to the cornice Of the building
are grad ually wi dening The cracks have
appeared within the las week and are at
present one half to three quarters of an
inch wide at the beginning and extend in
zigzag lines nearly parallel to each other
close TO the top of the wall. The
cracks run through the wall and
the plaster and'cornics inside are broken in
a number of places The windows in the
city treasurer's Office have sagged several
inches. The arches over the basement
doors are being crushed in, indicating that
the wall is settling, and the bricks in the
arches are crumbling.
Alderman Cam, chairman of the COM
mittee on city lots which has charge of the
public buildings, made an examination of
the building yesterday. Marshal Wade aud
Assistant City Surveyor Howard also made
an unofficial examination. The condition
of the building will be thoroughly inspected
by al architect with reference TO its safety
and to the security Of the wall. The foun-
dAtion Of the wall rests upon piling. There
Is no apparent explanation OF the settling,
and it will require an Investigation to deter
mine the cause. The city exchange was
built 30 years ago, in 1892 and is one
Of the oldest buildings in the city, and was
believed to be one OF the most substantial
1t is five stories high, including the base
ment. For some time the occupants
of the building have noticed the
weakening of the north wall and the
gradual opening Of the cracks from the
foundation up toward the cornice, and
there is considerable anxiety in regard to
the safety Of the building
The matter was brought to the attention
Of the city council last night and tho com
mittee on city lots was authorized TO take
such steps at once as may be neces iary.
The exchange was built by a stock COM
pany in which tie city was
stockholder to the amount of
twenty-five shares The ground was leased
to the company for ninety-nine years, and
the lease will expire nine years hence. The
cost Of the building was $4,000. The city
purchased the stock from the inception OF
the company until 1912, when the building
came into the possession OF the city, and
has since been used as a city hall. 1t has
been enlarged several times since IL was
built.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 19.-[Special.] THE
Northwestern Association changed its
name to the 'sWestern Congressmen's asso-
citation" at a meeting tonight. All sem
blance of a purely northwestern character
to the organization was removed by the
adoption of q motion, which makes sena-
tors and congressman from all states west
of the Mississippi river eligible to mem
bership. This was done after long c0nsid-
Grafton and study and it was understood
that Texas wanted to come in. Senator
Stewart of Nevada, was elected presidents;
Representative Hansbrough of North Da-
kota, vice-president;R Representative Carter,
of Montana, secretary; and Delegate Carey
Wyoming, treasurer. 1t was decided to
rent house on 18th street near the Airing.
ton hotel for headquarters. No matters of
legislation were discussed, but some time
was devoted to the question of
having wine in the rooms. There was q
strong sentiment against anything that
looked like congressional bar, but yet
there was decided talk in favor of hav-
ing such wines as the gentlemen want
to entertain with.
Congressman Pickler said: While he was
a political prohlbitionists and came from
a prohibition state he was not narrow
minded enough to deny the others any
thing they desired; he thought it would be
better to have drinks in another building
where the members could procure them.
1t would sound better among their constit-
uents; administration bars had been adver-
tised at the ShOreham.
BUILDING RENTED.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 2O.-[Special.l Sen
ator Stewart and Congressman Carter, on
behalf of the Western Congressional asso-
citation, tonight leased house for perma-
nent headquarters. 1t is three-story brick
building adjoining the Shoreham, Vice
President Morton's hotel. The lease is
taken for year.

the Indians, saying that it was msrely

were. He then introduced John Grass.

good-natured speech to the president, in
the course of which he remarked with a
quiet humor that this was not scalping

Nom Chairman - Dead!

J
Mem. Chapman = Dead!
This sad news was whispered
along the streets yesterday morning
as the church and fireman's bells
tolled the news OF his demise, and the
murmuring response, from lips OF
passing friends, was heard: "Its too
bad: It's too bad" All the assist
ance that the kind attention of a
loving family and sympathizing
friends could render, and all the
skill that the best of medical aid
could summon, were Of no avail,
and he passed away at 80 O'Clock
OH Sunday morning, after a short
but painful illness, in the prime OF
life and just as the future was bud
ding with the promise Of many hap
py years of prosperous enjoyment.
; A few months ago, he disposed OF
all his property here, and left our
city for an indefinite time, for resi-
dence elsewhere. | felt then that one
of the many pleasant associates of
other and early DAYS, was gone-an-
other link broken in the chain OF
many happy recollections; and when
he returned some two months since,
for permanent residence, many
friends welcomed him and his. .esti-
mable family, and rejOiced, as
did /, that he was once more
of our number. He was Salem's
friend, and no enterprise of public
character, but received from him
cheerful and generous assistance,
so far as he was able-no occasion
for private charity but found quick
response in his generous heart. He
loved her pleasant associations, her
kind and social pe0pIe, and the
many familiar scenes that seemed to
make a residence hge like home;
and he struggled hafh to live, that
in the city where MIA early and best
days had been passed, he might en-
joy the fruits of ,his labor, surround
ed by all that makes life pleasant
and home desirable. But now he
has gone, never to return. SO, one
by one, are the familiar faces of our
bid citizens lost to us, and strangers
,ome to fill their places. To an old
'esident, the passing away of these
ong-time associates occasions
ceiling of sadness, and never more
han in the death Of Memory Chap
nan. Kind and generous citizen and
riend, loved and loving husband
nd father hail and farewell.
