WILL RESUME WORK.
Federal Building Will be Pushed
When Steel Arrives.

Work which was suspended on the
federal building several weeks ago
will be resumed Monday, October 81
The delay has been caused by the
steel strike which for weeks made it
impossible to get the iron and steel
necessary to be used in the building.
A few men are now at work building
brick man hole leading to the sewer, ,
1t is being surrounded with 24-inch
wall and is being built for all time to
come.
Steam pipes have been run across
the street from the Ideal Heating
Co.'s factory, and the new building
will be heated temporarily by this
means. This will enable work to pro-
ceed all winter. A strong effort will
be made to get the new building en-
closed before the most severe winter
weather comes. All other material is
on the ground, so that as soon as the
steel arrives work will be resumed
with a big force of men.

Will Little of Anthracite, Alberta,
British Columbia, who recently pur-
chased the Mary Converse residence
property at the corner OF High Ave.
and Sixth street is making improve
ments in the place that will cost up
wards of 100000. The plans call for
considerable change in the arrange
ment of the interior and the placing
of hot water heating plant. The
basement is being cemented and ad-
ditions and changes all through the
place. This is one of the finest build
ing sites in the city and 1t is the
ultimate intention of the gentleman
to erect a residence for himself
thereon. Mr.. Little has returned to
his employment in the distant Canada
country but Mrs. Little will remain in
the city at the home of her mother,
Mrs. Carrie Adams, until the work
ON the property will have been COM
pleted.

ON STATE AFFAIRS.
Record the Republican Party
Has Made In Iowa.

Indianola, Oct. 3.-Gov. Shaw made
his first campaign speech here to-day.
After discussing national issues at
some length and showing the great
benefits the country has derived from
the adoption of the republican policies
Of protection and sound money, Gov.
Shaw, in referring TO state affairs, said
in part:
"In view of the fact that there is no at
tack made by the opposition upon state af-
fairs, Il is safe to presume that they are
in fairly good condition. Four years age
there was a state debt Of SAX, 900 and not .
democratic meeting was held anywhere
but It was referred to. The independent
press featured 1t in every issue. But II all
has been paid off, and there was over 81 o0o.-
900 Of cold cash In the treasury four years
from the date of this much-adyertissd de-
fcIsncy. But this fact Is not mentioned In
the democratic platform, nor has II ever
been commented upon editorially In OPP
position papers. In addition to this, the
state has expended literally for public
buildings historical building has been
erected in DeS Moines which IL an honor
10 any people. The three best educational
buildings in the state are In process OF con-
struetIon. The one at lows City IL now
ready for occupancy and the one at Ames
and the one at Cedar Falls will soon be
completed. No such educational buildings
have ever before been built by the state.
And the opportunity is propitlous for thu
next legislature to handsomely provide
for the evsr-growing needs OF an ever
growing people"

SUNDAY SCHOOLS.
Mary Barnes Mitchell Does
Wonderful Good Here.

Never before in the history of the
county has Sunday school work re-
ceived so great an impetus as it was
given Friday by the words and work
Of that wonderful worker and leading
spirit, Mary Barnes Mitchell, 'of Des
Moines. The lady addressed large
mothers meeting in the afternoon at
the Presbyterian church. Everyone
who heard Mrs. Mitchell could not
resist the influence of her enthusiasm
and every mother present has to-day
new understanding of the Sunday
school and its work and will do more
for the great work than ever before.
There were one hundred and thirty
FIVE mothers present.
A second large audience was adj
dressed by the lady in the evening at
the Congregational church on the
subject, "The Primary Department"
The talk was fully as good and as
beneficial as the one of the afternoon
had been. The good of the lady's
efforts in the city of Oskaloosa will
be felt in every Sunday school.
Tomorrow is Rally Day at each
church and the programs will be in
the hands of the Sunday school work
ers.
