Andrew Carnegie, having recently
opened another free library, is about to
build himself a new home in New York
city. 1t is said of the ''Steel King" by
the Philadelphia Saturday Evening Post,
that whenever he gives a free library he
builds a new residence, and vice versa.
The most striking feature of the estab-
lishment is to be the grounds. which will
be laid out Like those of Edinburgh town.
The palace will cost up in the millions,
but, as Mr. Carnegie himself puts it, will
be no more of a treasure ito him than the
first house he built in this country for
his mother, which cost under 5000. AS
he devotes much time to argumentative
writing Mr.. Carnegie has a literary
workshop ia his present residence in
New York, and will have one even more
extensive in the new home. His present
workshop is a joy to the young, who are
allowed in it. The walls are covered
with photographs, rough sketches and
cartoons cut from the newspapers. A
little boy, the son OF railroad man,
once remarked upon this collection:
Papa, doesn't Mr.. Carnegie get more
comic yalentines than anybody else in
the w0rld?'

of senator Gear in Dies Moines and the

good shape. Corn is in first class shape
and wheat is a crop such as the farm
ers have not had in years.
Carroll Herald: Thomas X. Smith of
Glidden township was in the city last
Monday. He is about the first man In
this section to finish harvesting, and he
says that he has a splendid yield in ev-
Ierything this season.
Madrid Register News: Good and
sufficient rains have fallen during the
past week for all needs. They fell at
the right time and came easily, thus
not destroying the immense crop now in

pect than now for a crop. Oats and

pass through Mason City instead of
over the Winona & st. Peter division, or

The grade of the new road will be six
tenths instead of one or one and one

also make shorter route to Chicago.
1t will also furnish splendid through
