Ames, Dec. 14.-After wait of a
month or so since their arrival, the
! Iowa State College chimes have at last
been placed in the tower erected for
their reception. The expert sent out by
the Gorham Company of New York,
who have the contract for putting in the
bells, a genial fellow. who enjoys a
quiet game of smear more than hosting
heavy bells, turned the matter over to
| Professor Lennox. who has charge of
the machine shops of the college. The
largest bell weighed $500 pounds. and
the other nine ranged from that down to
| 800
TO hoist these ponderous things 116
feet from the ground was by no means
a small job, and after they were up
there it required no inconsiderable in
genuity to get them set in their proper
places inside the tower
Professor Lennox's Inventive ability,
however, overcame these difficulties
with such apparent ease it would seem
that he had been in the business of in
stalling chimes all his life. A system of
puleys was used which made it easy for
a team of horses to pull each bell up the
side of the tower. When at the proper
height the bell would be rolled into its
place by a device which was entirely. or
| iginal with Professor Lenncx, and
which proved to be a great time saving
affair.
The bells are all stationary except
the smallest one. A clock is also being
put in, which will strike the quarters
and halves. and at the full hour the
4 Westminster chimes" will be rung.

Special to Times Republican.

Oskaloosa, Dec. 14.-The little mining
town Of Coalfield, twelve miles south of
this city, in the corner of Monroe coun-
ty, is afflicted with smallpox, which
was discovered yesterday. Five cases
are already reported and DR.. John A.
McKlveen, of Charlton, a member of
the state board of health, who was sent
to the little town yesterday, reports all
of the cases genuine, although of
comparatively mild type.
All of the cases are among the fami-
lies of the colored miners employed by
Mr.. A. b. Little, who is mayor of the
town. The names of the patients are
Roland Diggs and wife, Jack Roach,
James Lawson and 1. N. j. Jones. Mrs.
Diggs has the disease in more yiru-
lent type, and was thought to be in a
very serious condition, but this morn
ing is reported as better. No anxiety is
feared regarding any of the other pa
TENTS.
To correspondent of the r.-R. May
or Little said: I'VE anticipate no very
great trouble as a result of the disease,
and from the present Indications it will
not spread. Where the disease origi-
mated, or how it came to be brought
into Coalfield, is mystery yet un-
solved All of the miners afflicted have
been here from six to eight months in
my employ, and to my knowledge have
not been very far away from home, eX-
cepting, perhaps. on an occasional trip
to Oskaloosa or MuchakinOck. The
only cause we can assign as to its ORR
gin is that the disease has been con-
tracted from some visitor.
"All the necessary precautions for
the spread of the disease have been
taken at this early stage. The town
ship board, which the law gives discre-
tionary powers in such emergencies,
met yesterday and decided to- quaran-
tine the town for the present at least,
or until it is definitely known whether
we are to have scourge. Arrange
ments have been made for general
Vaccination, which will be a compulso-
ry measure. If future developments
should compel the building of pest
house, that will be done, but at present
the town has no such building. That
will hardly be necessary / think. for !
have no fears but that the disease Will
be confined to the homes at present af-
fected, and over them a strict quaran-
tine will be held until the disease has
abated. At present it has not been
deemed necessary to close the town
