Kenaeld & Lamoreaux are arang-
ing TO enlarge their plant and have
ordered a band saw ard band resaW,
boring machines, etc. The new
machinery will be put into use for

means Of adding an important
branch to the institution, and will

grandest in the history of the world,
and will undoubtedly be greater by
far than was the Chicago exhibition.

Carnegie library will be laid next
Friday afternoon under the direc-

exercises. The local lodge members
