Newton.
OF the new $4,000 Carnegie library
building formally opened Monday, and
of which Secretary Alice S. Tyler Of
the Iowa Library Association said, at
is almost q perfect library building"
the Journal makes the following state
ment: The building is approached by
a wide cement walk, and broad ce-
ment steps are at the entrance; you
enter a handsome lobby, and into the
library proper. A circular desk for
the librarian, stands in front. AT either
side are the reading rooms. Back of
the librarians desk are handsomely ar
ranged shelves for the books, with
other rooms on either side. Up stairs
are the club and trustees rooms on the
east side, and a large room for as
sembly purposes on the west. 1t is
steam heated, electric lighted, with
water closets, etc. The ladies who
have had charge of the furnishing of
the rooms have done their work most
eXcellently, and a cozier, more COM
Portable, or more handsomely furnished
room than the club room would be hard
to find anywhere; while the assembly
room is furnished with a full compile
ment of comfortable camp chairs and
desk. Altogether Newton now has one
of the best, neatest, and most substan-
tial libraries in the state for the money
invested. and We are all proud Of 1t.

Grinnell, Dec. 27.-For the first time
since the recent cold snap have few
of the stores and offices been comforta-

stoves have been hastily erected. The

OF clerks handling goods with their nit

the great cyanide gold camp, and the
second largest mining town in Utah,
was practically wiped out of exist
ence by fire Wednesday. Not less
than 40 of so stores have been COM
pletely destroyed and there is not a
single store left in the camp. The
people are in a destitute and pitiful
condition. At least 1000 are without
food and shelter. Gov. Wells and
Mayor Thompson, of Salt Lake, were
appealed to for immediate assistance.
Not one business house remains and
scores of residences are in ashes. So
far as known, however, no loss of
life resulted. A conservative estimate
places the total loss between $500. 900
and $1,000,000, and the insurance at
$35o,ooo. The census of 1900 gave
Mercur population of 1881.

feeling at Buckingham palace is very
hopeful. His majesty is able to take
nourishment; he had scrambled eggs
and little hook and soda
during the evening, and with his
own hands he opened several tele-
grams. The bulletin issued at II
o'clock is regarded as intensely salts
factory. This bulletin is generally
taken as being the first occasion upon
which the kings doctors have allowed
themselves to express, even in a small
degree, the hopeful feelings they un-
doubtedly, even though privately, en-
terrain. Thirty-six hours have now
elapsed since the operation was per-
formed, and the absence of compli-
cations creates hopefulness in all
quarters, although, as has been fire.
quently said in these dispatches. sew
eral days must pass before the posi-
bility of danger can be eliminated.
A Statement.
The following statement was made
Wednesday afternoon on the highest
medical authority:
Until the tubes now draining the cavity
of the abscess have been withdrawn it will
be impossible to feel certain that the king
will pull. through. What his physicians
have now to fear is that peritonitis or hem
orrhage may supervene There must al
ways be this danger in such cases. Again,
1t is a fact that an abscess due to
perityphlitis may have fatal issue with
out any warning symptoms. All the in
dlcations are often masked until the post
mortem, and there are many cases on rec
ord where the disease was only discovered
after death from an extraneous' cause such
as an accident. At any rate, the kings
grave illness must invalid him fort long
time.'
Business Loss IncaIculable.
The manufacturers of medals and
souvenirs are badly hurt. One of these
said that 100000 medals, dated June
26 and ~, already struck, were now val
ueless.
Altogether London's business loss is
lncalculable and the people of Ports
mouth, where preparations involving
big expenditure had been made to reap
a harvest from the naval review. are
simply crushed.
