The Hollenbeck Bros, of Council
Bluffs, who have been moving the Stuart
grain Office building onto the corner Of
Broadway and Washington streets have
almost completed their work. 1t has
been a difficult job. These men who
are experienced and skillful, say it has
been the most difficult job of house
moving ever done in Iowa. The reason
of the difficulty was because of the
great weight of the building and its
height with its comparatively small
foundation. The foundation is 25x46
and its height is two full stories. The
weight is over 4U0 tons. The distance
the building was moved is 425 feet and
the elevation where it is now placed is
fifty feet higher than its old location.
The grade on which it was moved was
eleven feet to the hundred To move
the building three sixteen inch drum
capstains we're used and 4.305 feet OF
rope. 1t required about COO horse power
to move the building. The building is
nearly on the foundation now and as
soon as the weather is better it will be
finished. The building appears to be in
perfect condition and will be an orna.
ment TO the corner.

Rural Free Delivery.

Geo. G. Everts and A. F. Altman, OF
Lincoln township, have mapped out
proposed route for rural free delivery
mail route, have obtained the required
number of signers and have forwarded
their petition to the department. The
route runs north from Audubon, west
past John Lovelace's, then zigzags
through the central and west part Of
Lincoln aud central and east parts OF
Douglas townships, returning to Audi
bon from the west. 1t passes through
good territory much Of which is remote
from postoffice accommodations. Many
of the people on the route are from five
to ten miles from the postoffice from
which they get their mail
The post Office department establish
ing few of these rural fres delivery
routes as an experiment We have 20
doubt but it Is the commencement OF a
system which in time will extend to
practically all the farming community,
unless it be to that part remotely scat
tered aud isolated.
The way to proceed to obtain rural
free deliveryis to present a petition to
the FIRST Assistant Postmaster General
signed by the heads of families who de-
sire the service. 1t should describe the
nature of the country, roads, map the
route, ETC., and should be endorsed by
the member Of congress. No route can
be established that is less than from
twenty to twenty five miles in length or
which serves less than 100 families.
Boxes to receive the mail must be put
up at the expense Of the patrons. After
the petition is received by the depart
ment if everything is favorable for the
establishment, special agent is sent
out by the department to view the route,
| to select carriers, to advise with the
postmaster from whose office the mail
will go, etc. Rural carriers will take
with them upon their rounds a supply
of stamps, postal cards ETC.; will be
authorized to give receipts for money
orders, and, il patrons OF the delivery so
desire it, to inclose the orders, when
granted, in addressed envelopes conided
to their charge.
| There is no doubt but these daily trips
will be great convenience to the pat
rons SO served. Congressman McPher-
son says there is but one such route now
in the Ninth district, that being one re-
Gently established IN Mills county. He
says one can likely be secured for Au.
dubon county soon but that it is moi
likely that more than one route can be
got at this time. We understand that 9
few other neighborhoods in the county
have been talking Of routes. 1t would
seem with other things being equal that
the petitioners for the route in Lincoln
and Douglas townships being first in the
field that they should be first served.

1t is very hard to stand idly by and
see our dear ones suffer while awaiting
the arrival of the doctor. An Albany
IN. W dairyman called at drug store
there for doctor to come and see his
child, then very sick with Group. Not
finding the doctor in, he left word for
him to come at once on his return He
also bought a bottle of Chamberlain
Cough Remedy, which he hoped could
give some relief until the doctor should
arrive. In few hours he returned
saying the doctor need not come, as
the child was much better. The drug
gist, Mr.. Otto Scholz, says the family
has since recommended Chamberlain s
Cough Remedy to their neighbors and
friends until he has constant demand
for it from that part of the country.
