NORMAL HEATING PLANT.
A Very Perfect System, With Steam
Heated Air.

]. W. Moore, manager of the Moore
Heating Co., of Minneapolis, was in
the city Saturday looking over the state
normal school. His company was
awarded the contract for putting in
the new steam heating plant, and he
wanted to find out whether he could
begin work before the summer vaca-
tion begins. He desires to start as
soon as possible, as there is a great
deal to be done, and the plant must be
completed by Sept. LIST, when the fall
term opens
The plant will have to be placed in
the basement of the building, as the
appropriation was about So, 600 short
of enough to build detached power
house, such as was hoped for. Mr..
Moore states that power house locat-
ed at the edge of the embankment,
, where it could drain into Warren
creek, would have been ideally locat-
ed.
Mr.. Moore states that work will be-
gin about June first, and that fifteen
or twenty men will be employed all
summer, including brick and stone
masons, steel men, etc.
The system to be used is the COM
bination system of fans and steam.
The air will be heated in the base
ment with 10000 feet of steam coils,
and will be blown into the various
rooms by two large 100 inch fans. The
corridors and rooms where freezing is
likely to occur when the fans are not
working, will have radiation with
steam heat.
A thermostad will control the mixing
hampers to every room in the build
ing, and thus automatically regulate
the temperature in each room separ-
ately.
The entire radiation in the building
will amount to %, 900 feet. There will
be five boilers 72 inches by IS feet,
having g. 500 horse power.
The Moore Heating Co. has never
had as large building to heat as this
one, but it has put in heating plants
for the East Side high school and the
city hospital, both in Minneapolis.
The system adopted for the normal
school is said to be as nearly perfect
aschool for building as it is possible to
have. Fresh air is constantly supplied
in large quantities.

Rumor of a Limited Through Train on
the Omaha.

The Madelia Times says: We have
it upon excellent authority that pas
senger train No /, which arrives here
at midnight, is to be made limited
through train, after June first, and
will not stop here. Between st. Paul
and Worthington the only stops will
be at LIE Sueur, Mankato and St.
James. This will be very much re-
GREETED by people here who have
always regarded this as one of the
handiest trains on the road. especially
for visiting Mankato. We anticipate
that the other towns along the road
which are cut out will make roar.
The directors of the Chicago, Mil
waukee & st. Paul have voted $500, OOO
to be expended at once in the i'm
provement of the railroad shops in
Milwaukee. There are over 2, 900 men
now employed there and the projected
Improvements will give work to 1000
more.
President Marvin Hughitt of the
Chicago & North Western railway

rumors that changes are to be made in
the directorate of that road to satisfy
new interests.
Three of the directors whose terms
expire this year are Vanderbilt rep

are Marshal Field, Cyrus 81. McCor :
