The walls of the two wings are CON-
pleted, and this week will see the last
of the main part up. A slight delay
was occasioned by the strike cutting

more windows put in, giving the build
ing more handsome appearance In
stead of the old Gothic roof, one more
nearly flat has been used. The whole
structure is four feet higher than the
old one, story more has been added to
the chapel, and a half story to the main
building. A much better hall will be
presented to the state than the one
burned, and it will be supplied with
warming, ventilating, lighting, water

city and county will be left in the treas
