CUTTING GRADES.
Immense Work Undertaken to
Improve the Iowa Central.

The Iowa Central management have
undertaken an immense work be-
tween Marshalltown and Oskaloosa
in order that the road bed may be
made first-class in every particular.
All hills and hollows are to be cut
down and filed up to make "seven-
tenths" grade over the entire line.
Work has been commenced on the
cutting down of the "Lacey HIP one
of the worst and most difficult en-
cheering problems upon the entire
line of the Central. 1t was debated
for some time whether it would be
better to make the cut of the hill or
to change the line of the road at this
point altogether as there. is a very
undesirable curve here. 1t was final
ly decided to make the cut on the
present line and the completed work
will make great change in the place.
The hill will be cut thirty-eight feet
and ten inches and this will make it
necessary to move the Lacey station
house north or south the distance of
something like half mile. The point
of the location will be determined by
the engineers. The grade at the
station will be 20 feet lower than at
presen-
There is change of twenty three
feet to be made in the grade of
"West Center" hill and the "South
Skunk river bridge" A new steel
bridge is to be built over the Skunk
river four miles north of this city
and it will be thirteen feet higher
than the present structure. 1t will
be fine bridge, as good as any to
be found in the state for it's size and
the work that will be required of it
| The grade at the top of the bill near
West Center school house will be
lowered ten feet, thus making the
difference of % feet in the grade.
There will also be change made in
the grade of the hill north of the
Yearly meeting building.
Beer Garden hill near Marshall
town and Dillon hill near that place
are being reduced. These improve
ments together with the work that
will be done between this city and
Marshalltown will cost the company
the sum of one million dollars when
the work is completed.
There will be no work done south
Of Oskaloosa during the season but
this station will be the starting point
for next seasons work.
In the Oskaloosa yards it is likely
that some little work will be done.
1t is probable that the old coal chutes
will be taken down and that the
coaling station here will be sort Of
temporary affair of crane and bucket.
The work upon the Lacey hill is
now in progress and the new Skunk
river bridge will be commenced in
the near future.
There are very few miles of the
line between this city and MARSHALL
town that Will not be gone ever and
the knobs trimmed down and hollows
filled. All OF this work will then be
treated to eight or more inches of
gravel ballast. The north end of the
road is receiving attention from
Hampton south and from Mason City
to Northwood. The entire grade is
being revised and when the work is
completed the Iowa Central will
have one of the finest road beds of
any railway in the state.

ident Mckinley.
The meeting began at II O'Clock a.
m, and was conducted by Rev. w. E.
h. Mabry, the pastor, who opened after
the very appropriate performance OF
the choir, with a very sincere and fer
vid prayer, in which he voiced the SEN
timents of the congregation and of the
whole nation in renewing to the LORD
their heartfelt devotion, even in the
af1iction which He had suffered to
fall upon them.
Afer singing and the reading OF
several passages from the Scriptures
appropriate to the occasion, Mr.. Ma
bry delivered a short address, with
out notes and purely spOntaneOusly lie
extolled then the dead President as
good man, upon whom the eyes OF
the nation, of every individual in the
nation, of the whole world had been
fixed; of his piety, his devotion, and
his christian character. He alluded
touchingly to the sorrow OF the ma

guished dead, the sincereSt prayer for
them that He who tempers the wind
