tons are on, however, loaAing to the
leasing of the store, and even if the
present plans should not mature, it is
believed that the store will not remain
long unoccupied.
Andrew Schoch, the grocer, will oc-
cUpy the store on the corner of St. Pc
ter and Seventh streets, where a full
line of imported and fancy groceries
will be carried. This store does not
mean the closing of Schoch's downtown
store, at Seventh and Broadway, where
the general SAatail and wholesale grocery
and fruit business of the firm will con-
tinue to be carried on. The new store
in the market house will be an adjunct
of the present store. Like the clothing
store on the other corner, the Schoch
store will have the large plate glass
front and big display windows. The
entrance on thisa corner will be imme-
diately at the corner of the building

1t will be marvel in architecture, with
great marble columns, topped with
Ionic caps. The stairway and ratings
viii be like those of the main entrance,
of white marble.
The great amount of work necessary
to put the library in condition for oc-
cupancy prevents its completion as early
as that on other parts of the building
and it will probably be Oct l before
the patrons of the library can secure
books from the new building. When it is
completed, however, it is claimed that
there will not be a more convenient
and commodious library in the North
west. The electric light and heating
plant of the new building will be in the
basement. The combined plant will
cost about $4,000. The wiring of the
building has been completed, and all
that remains to be done before the
lights can be turned on is the placing
of the dynamOS and the switchboards
The building is divided into circuits,
and the lights can be turned on or off
in any particular part of the building
without interfering in any way with
another part.
The work on the exterior alterations
is now completed except as to the TIL
ing of the addition bringing the building
on a level with the walk The tiles
are already on hand, but It was neces-
sary to obtain expert workmen to lay

cured this branch of the work has been
somewhat delayed. The workmen are
expected to get to work Monday, how
ever, and when the thing is done the
exterior alterations will, in their COM
pieteneSS, make the building as attract
i've as any in the city.
