MUSCATINE TO HAVE
FINE NC. A. RUILDING

The Muscatine people are eXultant
over the prospect of fine i. NJ. q. a.
building in their town before long. a
fit match TO their library. They had
highly successful banquet there
Friday evening. Governor-elect Cum
minis was there, Judge Selden p.
Spencer, of St. Louis, the Y. NJ. c. \.
enthusiast who was here with Gov.
Shaw some time ago when the Daven-
port Y. NJ. c. \. opened its present
home; 5. ID. Gordon, president of the
Ohio Evangelization society, and 9th
er prominent men were there, and the
heavy business men of the town were
present in force. After the menu was
served came speeches and responses
to toasts, in the course of which
Toastmaster Chevalier announced
the offer of Peter NJ. Musser to do
nate the association a part of tine
cost of a good building, and supple
mented it by the offer of Thomas
Irvine, of st. Paul, to do as well as
Mr.. Musser, to make up. with Mr..
Musser, half the cost of building of
the right kind The proposition
started the enthusiasm at a lively
pace, and the meeting named and en-
powered a committee of citizens 10
get out after $4,000 from the citizens
of Muscatine, thus setting tn. mark
at a $4,000 building. The association
has site. There is no doubt that
the enterprise will be carried through
i'm handsome Stvla
The offer of Mr.. Musser was to pay
20 per cent of the cost IF the build
ing, to whatever limit the other con-
tributions ran. Mr.. irvine, when his
attention was called to this offer,
wrote that he did not see how he
could refuse to duplicate it, and add
ed that he had no doubt Mr.. Musser
would join him in offering to pay 25
per cent, which would make up one
half of the required amount. In other
words, Mr.. Irvine "saw Mr.. MuSSrr
and went him one better" On the
basis of a $4,000 building, which is
wanted there, the first offer meant
$1,000 and the second $4,000, with lit
tie doubt of the former being raised
to meet il. With this spirit of gcnnr-
Gus rivalry evidenced in her behalf,
there is no doubt that Muscatine will
soon have Il Y. NJ. c. 4. building cred
liable to the city and state.
