THE PRESS MOVED

perfecting press from its foundations
in the Times Republicans old press
room, and moving it bodily to the new
press room in the front basement, and
by 10 o'clock Sunday morning the
huge machine was resting securely on
it's new piers, without mishap of any
kind.
1 The task Of moving perfecting
press is no small one, and to move it
without loss of an edition Of the paper
is distinct success.
Saturday the stone masons took
down large section of the stone wall,
thru which the press was moved on
rollers. From Z o'clock Saturday even
ing to 10 o'clock Sunday morning the
movers kept steadily at their work,
except intermissions for their meals.

BEGIN WORK SATURDAY.
Employees on State Greenhouse at Sol
diers' Home Start Foundation.

QIST8 F1OIUS Quart fOuuOAkiOIs
Employees ON the state contract for
the erection of the new greenhouse at
the Iowa Soldiers Home began work
Saturday, starting the foundation for
the building. The new greenhouse is
to be just east of the administration
building, in the old lake basin, and will
be very picturesque when completed.
The building will cost $4,000.
The work on the gateway to the
grounds, which has been delayed owing
to the stone shipments, will be pushed
forward to completion from this time
on, it is believed. Two cars tof stone
arrived Saturday, and it is thought the
rest of the material will be hurried
along from the Anamosa penitentiary,
where it is quarried and cut. The
trouble with the stone lies in the fact
that the earlier shipments came
mixed, and the stone needed last was
the first to arrive.

Another table which is likewise of
interest shows the number of times
the attendance in each city was not
enough to give the visiting club the
guarantee Of $50, and the home assoc
citation had to put up that amount for
the visitors. The local association paid
the guarantee twenty times during the
season, but it is worth while noting
that it paid this guarantee. only once
before the team went to the bad in
July, and slid into seventh place. After
that the guarantee was paid quite reg
ularly. This table is as follows:

Another comparative table, which
will also be of interest, is the one
below, which gives the amount of
money each city turned into the league
treasury from the gate receipts of
each. These various amounts repre-
sent 10 per cent Of what was taken in
at the gate, which goes to pay the
league expenses. In this table this
city stands fourth, the total amount
