CAPITOL BILL up
Will Probably Pass Both Houses
in Short Time.

Several important bills are set for con-
sderation In both houses Of the General
Assembly next week. One of these Is
the Anderson Capitol bill. This bill
comes up as a special order on its pass
age on tuesday at 1890 P. NJ, and prom
ises to provoke a lively debate. Senator
Thomas, OF Campbell one OF the nppo-
nents OF the appropriation proposed in
the bill Is still sick at his home, near
Lynchburg, but 1t Is hoped that he will
be we'll enough to be present Tuesday.
Despite the opposition OF Senator Thomas
and Chairman WIckham. Of the Finance
Committee, the prospects of the bill ap-
propriating $4,000 are excellent Mr..
Thonaas's colleague, Mr.. Jennings. OF
is warmly in favor of the
bill, and so is Chairman Boaz. OF tho
House Finance Committee. In fact,
many OF the most Influential men in
both houses are outspoken In favor OF
the bill. The majority of the Senate FL
nance Committee are favorable to the
appropriation.
It is urged in favor OF the passage OF
the bill that for the next two years the
Capitol can be easily vacated to give
place to the work Of reconstruction and
enlargement, The General Assembly will
not rcconvenc until January. 1905, aftor

by vote OF three-tifths OF the members
OF both houses. In any event, however,
there will BIO ample time to complete tho
interior remodclins and renovation of the
present structure and reroofng of tho
old building. 1t will have to be newly
and attractively succeed and n flight of
stone steps added. ascending to the south
portico
The construction of the two wings can
be done without Inconvenience to occu-
pants OF the building, and can be COM
pleted. so as to leave the entire Capitol.
Including the wings. ready for use by the
next General Assembly. The roof Of the
Capitol and the interior construction
make It especially liable to loss by Tire,
The hill will apparently pass the Senate
without formidable vote against IT,
Most of the opponents OF tho measure
are counted among tia new members.

MANY NEW
 HOMES BUILDING
Attractions here for Home Mak-
 CTS and Business Men

Before winter closes in and the beau tiful snow covers the town with is soft mantle of whitenesS, there will be more homes in Seward than ever before.
 By common consent many home builders have chosen that section of town reached by west Adams street Second and Third avenues north of Adams street in which to establish their "hcaven on earth" and install their household gods.
 Adams street being greatly im- proved, nearly all stumps having been removed and sidewalk laid, has been one of the attractions which has drawn people in that direction
 Mr. SeXton'S neat and taStily ar- ranged cottage, glistening with white paint, naturally attracts the home maker to that vicinity.
 Soon the Gateway family will have the addition to their abode completed and as it is different in design from other houses, although not in the least wise pretentious, it will, in a measure, perform it's share toward adding to the homelike cheerfulness of the neighbor- hood.
 Many lots in the locality described are being cleared and the foundations are being laid for houses, which in a reasonable time will be occupied.
 Seward, as residence town is fast becoming all that could be desired,
 It's location is ideal, the scenery grand and inspiring. There is just sufficient drainage to cause it TO be healthrul We have the finest electric light service to be found anywhere. Telephones are, or can be placed in every building at a low rate. The water system k 50 far completed that those who are not connected with the mains can secure their supply from hydrantS.
 Take il all in all, the many advant- ages that our town possesses are bringing 10 it the proper kind of peo- pie and soon it will be a city of homes as it is now an important business center.

Mrs. IeCkIenburg tntertains

Mrs. Grace Tecklenburg'S birthday party at Dr. Sleem's hall last Saturday night was one of the most successful social affairs ever given in our pro- gresSsive city. A musical proceeded the dancing and was very much en- joyed.
 Dr. D, H. Sleem's singing of, 'I am Wearing my Heart Away for You, y was received with applause. Mrs. Teck- lenburg gave "The Story the Violets Told" and was loudly encored but re- fused to favor the audience with an- other song, lowing her thanks for the appreciation accorded her. Mrs. Sex ton and Miss Sexton playeda beautiful duet on the piano. The violin and piano duets were very good and were listened to with close attention. Miss Kurtz' recitation was received with great appreciation. MT. Stewart gave q recitation.
 The Grand March was led by Mr. and Mrs. Tecklenburg and dancing con- tinued until midnight when the entire party adjourned to the Tecklenburg residence where a delicious supper had been prepared. The tables were beau tifully arranged with lovely china, silver, cut glass and ferns. In this pure and invigorating atmosphere dis ease cannot get much iootho'd, as a consequence the people of this favored community always are accompanied with their appetiteS and when such temptations are placed before them they are, as in this case. equal to the emergency-the guests were attracted to those tables as steel to the magnet.
 One of the most pleasing features of the entire evening was the rendi- tion of several beautiful German airs by Mrs. Knobner, mother of Mrs. Tecklenburg-thiS entertainment took place at the family residence, after supper.
