It will De a brick building, three stories, fully equipped, and designed exclusively for the beneft of the railway employees,
 The Iron Mountain furnishes $4500 of the necessary funds, the employees will raise 5000, and the city of Poplar Bluff is expected to contribute $35OO at least to the cause. Miss Helen Gould, whose open-hearted and wide spread ben evolence has made her name beloved from Santiago to San Francisco, will donate $500 to supply the reading room
 There will be sleeping apartments where the men may secure lodging at ten cents a night. There will also be library, bath room, read Ing room, ten pin alley, etc., that it may be made attractive as possible to the men. The parties have until May to raise the funds, and, as splendid progress has already been made, there will be no default in the proposed plans. A similar inStitu tio1 is being established at Texar- kama, and it is the purpose to pro- vide them throughout the system The dues are only three dollars a year, which will be more than bal anced by the convenierces provided in baths, lodging, etc.-Arkansas Democrat.
