The meeting was held under the auspices

The Rev. W. b. Leach said that it was

Fallows said that he had been told by
person who had canvassed the subject

Catholics to discontinue the Sunday

The pricking of needle made no linden
tion in the flesh. and all power of sensa-
tion had disappeared. Tibbetts was
taken to the Normal hospital. ard nine
physician made close examination. and
held many consultations TO discover the
identity OF the strange ailment. Tley
finally pronounced it a case of myxoe-
dema. In this disease the organs of the
body partly disappear or ossify. causing a
condition similar to petrifaction. No
relief could be given the sufferer, and
two weeks ago he was brought home to
die. The end came yesterday. post
mortem examination was made. and it
was found that the only organs intact
were the kidneys. The deceased was a

NEW CITY BUILDING,
Warm and Pleasant Weather Gives
Opportunity for fastening Work.
Root Will Be On by January l. Beyond the
Question Of a Doubt

Thanks to the remarkably warm and
missioner has chosen to provide the past
few weeks, the work on the new city
building has advanced in truly rapid
manner.
A month ago, doubts arose in the
minds OF many as to whether the root
would be in place anywhere near Janu-
airy /, the time specified in the contract,
and it certainly looked doubtful at one
time if the roof would then be completed.
reasonably good, there is no doubt but
that everything will be fully up to con-
tract time.
Although cold weather would not have
positively prevented the work Of the
brick masons, it would have seriously
retarded it.
The basement floors and partitions have
been completed, and the first flooring
laid The walls up to the first flooring
have been 20 inches, and the partitions Is
inches, in thickness Between the first
to the second floors these thicknesses will
be reduced to 16 and 10 inches, respcc-
lively, thus requiring less material, and
time for the construction, SO the work
will make greater evident progress than
ever. Another thing, one of the large
partition walls on the first floor will be of
wood, which fact will lessen the amount
of work to be done. Above the first floor
there will be no partitions to amount to
anything, as the hall is there to be
located. The walls of the hall story will
be reduced to thickness of IL inches.
There was at one time some question
as to whether the iron work for the roof
construction would be ON time but notice
has been received from the man ufacturers
that everything will be on time
1t is estimated that inside of ten days
the first floor will be completed and ready
will support the hall floor.
The roof frame work will be of iron
and iron posts on which it is to be sup
ported, will be imbedded within the walls
Of the hall floor. This will make no
showing on the out side but will be in
closed in pilasters which will appear on
the inside. There will be 10 of those
'uprights' to make firm setting for
the roof.
One feature Of tho building which will
prove pleasant, is the lowness of the win
dow settings, thus allowing good views
and rear.
