miniature coal mine Is TO be one OF the fea-
lures of the palace and the excavation is most
admirably adapted TO il. Into the mine a shaft
will lead from the main tower, over $50 feet
above. The tower at its base will be over 40
feet square and will be reached by means OF two
elevators in the semicircular towers toward the
front, or by flight of stairs in either OF the
other semicircular towers OH the rear corners.
From this point the sight-see will get into
car, just as in a regular mine when he will be
lowered through dark shaft into the sunken
park, where the mules, the miners with their
lamps and picks, and the coal in large veins can
be seen, as IL in the Foster or Phillips mines,
twenty miles south OF the city.
The palace will be two stories in height, the
first being about Is feet to the ceiling, the other
reaching to the top OF the structure, varying
from 80 to 100 feet. In the front, or Washington
street tower will be the stage, :0x36 feet, and
the main hall, with the balconies ascending
direct from the stage, will give the building
a seating capacity of from 5000 To 5000 On
either side of the main room nave OF the
building will be the spaces above and below for
the exhibits OF the nine surrounding counties
namely; Monroe, Appanoose, Davis, keokuk,
These exhibits are intended TO be industrial,
for the greater part. The coal which will cover
the building Willie from these counties:
The garden will be one OF the browning fea-
lures of the palace. Like the mine, il will be
below the level of the street. the sloping green
from Main street and the depot sides being
planted with flowers and plants spelling in
large bold beautiful letters -Ottumwa Coal
Paiace." Fountains, delightful walks, rich
tropical plants and trees will be utilized TO add
TO its beauty.
The palace at night from the exterior will
present a most striking appearance. Powerful
el sctrc arc lights will fash out their briliancy
from each OF the towers, and each of the many
windows will be provided with various colored
electric lights. The work OF driving the piling
on which the structure will rest has been COM
menced. IL will take 700 piles for the founda-
tion, ~ feet in length and will require force
OF twelve men over fortnight TO complete
this part OF the work. Various committees are
busy at work I'm the contiguous counties ar
ranging for their exhibits and meeting with
the greatest success. Each of these counties
will have day OF it's own as special feature
The various railroads running into the city will
each have a day set apart for them, and tnen
there will still be left fourteen days for special
attractions. IL Is intended TO have four of the
leading pulpit orators in the country preach ON

festivities, and musical and literary features
will be numerous. The palace viii be opened

The floor space for exhibitors will be more
than double that OF last year. The south wing
OF the palace will contain an auditorium seat
ing 1900 people, in which there will be grand
concerts by leading musicians and speeches by
eminent men.
The palace will be opened by Gov. Boies on

invited TO discuss the tariff question aud will

divines on the Sabbath The display OF fine
stock, fruits and grain will be the largest ever
seen in Iowa, not excepting the State Fair, and
