financial interests of Covington were
represented, to meet Father Gabri ell
the general manager of the Chinohuba
Institute, aud D. J. Harvey, tho ST.
perintendent Of the Chinohub1 shoe
factory and printing offioe. The OBJ
jeot OF the meeting was to determine
upon the advisability of moving the
Chinohuba shoe factory and printing
office fro n Chiuchuba to Coyingtoa, q
distance Of seven miles. A brief talk
was made by Father Gabriel, show
ing the growth Of the business and
the necessity of having more adequate
quarters for the shoe and printing
business. The Ohinchuba shoe factory
has capacity of 200 pairs of shoes
daily, and for soma time past has sue.
cessfully met competition throughout
the Calf states. The printing office
is also doing good business and is
turning out high-grade of work. 1t
was practically decided at the meet
ing to accept Father Gabriel's propo-
sition and issue stock to the extent of
$50, 900 to capitalize the industries;
$l5, 600 of this amount is to be sub
scribed for by the Chinchuba Insti-
tute, the balance to be placed on the
market, all of which will be taken by
the citizens of Oovington as soon as
the stock is issued.

NO Woman BUILDING NOW.
Committee on Laws Opposed to Its
Erection,

Des Moines, Nov. 13.-The commit
tee on laws of the Yeoman conclave,
now in session here, will recommend
that the order erect no building at the
present time. j. e. Paul, grand fore
man, recommended in his report that
building be erected at a cost of from
$4,000 to $4,000, and paid for out of
the reserve fund, which is now about
100000. After careful consideration
the committee on laws decided to rec
ommend this building be not construct
ed. They are confident that the con-
vention will adopt their report and de-
eide against building at the present
time. Their reasons are that the or
der is too young at the present time
and is able to lend its money at high
err per cent than could be gained by
the erection of a building.
A number of other important recon-
mendations are made. Among them
is one which provides for twelve pay
ments yearly, instead of the present
method of assessing as the needs de-
mand. The new rates also decrease
the per capita tax about $40 annually,
and increase the reserve about $4,000
