Fltty years ago only 9 per cent of the
population Of Norway dwelt. in the cities
Now the proportion has. grown to -26 per
cent. This increase has Of course been
at the expense Of the country districts
The constant movement. to the cities with
the emigration to America has had the
effect of reducing the population in sew
eral districts. Students of economics do
not necessarily find anything serious in
the movement. 1t has resulted in a. divis-
ion of work. Formerly the landed pro-
prietors ground their own flour, wove their

Low DOWN ACTS.
People Who Steal Flowers From
Graves are Pretty Mean.

Much complaint is heard on account
of the theft OF plants from graves and
flower beds in Forest cemetery. Sup
erintendent Cunningham is powerless
to prevent the depredations on &C
count of the nature and extent of the
grounds, and the cemetery association
suffers as well as do individuals in
the loss of choice plants.
AS soon as frost is threatened the
thieving commences. Some people
seem to think that they'have the right
to appropriate any plant or decorative
shrub that is to be found in the Gene
terry. What they cannot take away
they are often pleased to destroy.
Such acts can scarcely be dignified
by the term crime and should the per-
petrator of the deeds be caught they
would not be worth furnishing in a
court of justice, but it must appear
that individuals have certain rights
here as elsewhere that should be re-
spected,

COUNTING THE DEAD.
Victims of the Birmingham Dis
aster Number los.

Birmingham, Ala, Sept. 22.-Sunday
was day of funerals in Birmingham,
the remains of IS victims of the panic
in Shiloh church being inferred in the
various cemeteries for negroes around
the city. All of the negro churches
were crowded, and the naturally excit-
able nature of the southern negro was
! wrought to q high pitch by the eu-
logistic sermons over the dead bodies
at the various churches. The death list
| is now known to number los, and 100
of these have been identified. The po-
lice assert that in addition at least five
bodies were taken to private houses.
This would swell the number to no.
All of the dead negroes identified are
residents of Birmingham, except
George Wright, who is said to be from
Savannah. lnnearly all of the churches
for whites sums were raised to assist
the negroes who are unable to give
their dead proper burial and with
amounts contributed by wealthy citi-
zens burial fund aggregating $500 has
been accumulated.
A number of dead were found at pri-
vate houses in the neighborhood of
the scene of the disaster. Several
bodies of persons who were crushed in
the panic were found lyingin the weeds
in the vacant lot adjoining the church.
They had scrambled out of the mass
of struggling humanity with broken
limbs or crushed breasts and had
crawled away in this manner to die.
The fact that the delegates to the con-
vention were here from all parts Of
the country. many Of them being stran-
gers. renders the work of identifica-
ton slow. Investigation shows that
no white person was killed in the
panic.

CONTRACT IS LET.
John Gier, of Marshalltown,
Will Build Library.

The bids for the Carnegie Library
building, to be erected on the corner
Of South Market street and Second
avenue, were opened Thursday after
noon by the library board and a com
mittee appointed to award the con-
tract to John Gier of Marshalltown.
Bids were received from five contrac-
tors as follows:
P. J. Creedon & Sons of Omaha,
S17,816
Henry wetheren of oskaloosa,
$1S,55S.
Jonn Gicr OF Marshalltown, Sl6,996.
Wm. Ritchic of CsEaloosa, $40 $50.
Bartlett e Killing of Galesburg, 49,
200.
The work on the building will be
started just as soon as possible. The
old buildings on the site have been
ordered away and must be vacated by
October l.
Mr.. Giers bid does not include the
plumbing and heating, this part OF
the work being held in allegiance for
the present Mr. Gier is the gentle
man who built Central M. E. church,
and his work on this building is a
guarantee Of g good job.
The Building.
The building will be two-story
rectangular structure with the base
ment extending partially above
ground. OskaIoosa pressed brick will
be used in the construction, with gray
brick and terra-cotta for the trim
mings.
The main entrance will face Market
street and opens into large vestibule
on the left side of which is the stair
way to the second floor. There are
six large and well-lighted rooms on
the first floor. The delivery and stack
rooms are in the center Of the build
ing and the reading and reference
rooms in the north end. There are
also librarians private Office and a
special room for children. The three
main rooms will have beam ceiling
and with the oak woodwork and muir
esco tinted walls will be very beauti-
full and attractive.
On the second floor there are three
rooms and hall, but they will not be
entirely finished at present.
A terrace will be constructed about
fourteen feet back from the sidewalk
which will raise the building above
the level of the street and add greatly
to the general effect.
Architect F. e. Wetherell is certain
ly to be congratulated upon the gen.
eral excellence of the plans that he
has thus worked out. He has follow
ed very closely the details of the
gothic style of architecture and a
porch and approach in corinthian
style and the building will be very
handsome one, far more interesting
and pleasing in effect than many
structures that have been erected at
much greater cost. The details of the
type of architecture have been care
fully and studiously worked out from
the entrance to the garnet. The build
ing will be lasting monument to the
ability and the enterprise of this cley-
er young architect.
The plans are very complete in de-
tail and represent an immense amount
of hard labor, not alone in the bring
ing forth of the ideas but in the exc
cutting of the same on paper. The
work has required the constant at
tention of Mr.. Wetherell and two as
sistants for the past six weeks.
