Phinney Will Appear With This Great Band

For fifteen years the American
public have been entertained,
enlivened and electrified by the
music of Phinney's unrivaled
band and during that time his In
fluence has been second to none In
fostering an appreciation of the
divine art. His wonderful power
over his musical forces. his appre-
ciation of the needs and desires of
his audiences, and his ability to
meet them all, have combined to
render him pre.eminently the rep
resentative bandmaster In America.
The great reputation OF Phinney's
United States Band and Its prede-
cessor, the Iowa State Band, was
largely gained through their schol-
arly rendering of the great works,
and the magnificent effect produced
from their descriptive compositions.
No special introduction Is re-
quired fo1 Phinney to any part of
the United States. It needs only
to be announced that he will ap.
pear with his great band and the
public knows that the utmost en-
joyment music can afford Is theirs
for the time he Is among them. AT

Des Moines, May 29.-The new plat
books for the survey Of the entire state
of Iowa that We're authorized by the
last legislature have been purchased
and placed in the land department of
the Office Of secretary OF state. When
the original survey was made by the
United States more than half century
ago two plat books were made. one for
the state and one for the United States.
The state books have been in the state
land Office, now part Of the secretary
of states office, and have been so much
used that they are now almost worn
out. The legislature at it's last session
appropriated to have new set OF books
prepared. The United States land de-
partment furnished the duplicate print
ed sheets, made by photo-l photographic
process from the originals in Wash
ington, and the state has had them
mounted on linen and bound. This set
will be for daily use in the land office
while the old originals belonging to the
state will be laid away in the vault for
reference. There are twelve of the
large volumes and every township in
the state is plated on separate page.
