do good work. noticed rec men
starting out at about 10 ocl one day
with three boards In q wagon to re-
pair bridge. 1t took them until near
ly noon to get to the bridge which had
been out of repair for some time and
so they only got in about half days
work. AT another time after doing
some work they started home leaving
a couple of scrupers that they just as
we'll have taken. and the next day spent
a half day going back after these
scrapers. Whether better men would
remedy the matter is problematlc but
the farmers down there are confident
that the system Is bad anyway and

The capitol commission has not yet
engaged the artist to do the painting
Of the eight lunettes at the state house.
Professor Charles Cumming. one of

today that they had been In the east
comforting with man there, but were
not in u position to give out the name
yet. as the arrangements were not
perfected. The commission also saw

Is a drawing or cartoon made of the

models are secured and sections of the
painting are done on the canvass and
other sketches made of the models
Then the painting on the canvass as 1t
will appear on the wall is done from
the sketches and paintings from mod
els.
Now that the scaffolding Is remov-
ed from the west corridor there are
many praises for that work. The west
corridor presents the best opportunity
for decorations Of any Of the corridors.
About the great staircase with the ex-
ception of the Blashfield and Diehl-
mann paintings, there is not an op-
portunity for the wall decorators there
is In the west corridor. In the north
and south corridors there is merely
the square ceilings which also present
a poor opportunity and besides the
north and south corridors are narrow.
In the west corridor at the main en-
trance the ceiling is arched and there
has been an attempt to give the effect
of mosaics which has been very sue
cessful. The scaffolding in that sec
tion has all been removed giving an
unobstructed view and those who were
harsh in their criticisms at first have
now changed their opinions.

LAWSON AT MISSOURI VALLEY.
He Was Heard by Large Audience
That Seemed Well Pleased.

Missouri Valley, July 13.-Council
Bluffs sent 200 members Of its CONNER
cial club to Missouri Valley yester-
day ostensibly to hear Thomas w.
Lawson lambast John ID. Rockefeller
and Wall street methods of finance,
but really to impress upon him the
desirability of his returning to Iowa
in September and visiting Council
Bluffs on September II. Congressman
Smith headed the delegation and was
invited by the chautauqua here, under
whose auspices Lawson spoke, to pre-
side at the meeting. He did so, and on
his suggestion, the $500 people who
sat beneath the tent to hear the Bos-
tonian gave their guest and visitor a
vote of thanks.
Lawson's speech was pleasant sur
prise to the people who gathered here
10 listen. 1t had none of the stilted and
bombastic utterances which had been
anticipated and was directed more spe-
cifically to the relation which Iowa
and the west bears to the System,
than to personal castigation of Rookie
Teller and other eminent financiers. He
advised Iowa people who own stocks
and bonds to sell them at the present
high prices, denied shat he would ad-
wise them to sell except that the "sys-
tenn" had advanced stocks and bonds
to high figure and must keep them
there during the raid which Lawson
proposes to engineer on behalf of the
people, and utterly repudiated the
statement attributed to him by United
States Treasurer Roberts that the
people should withdraw their bank
deposits simultaneously.
He said that any man who would
advocate that sort OF thing should be
strung up. He said that if the people
would dispose of all Of their securities
at present prices, he would guarantee
the water in stocks and bonds so that
the railroad rates, insurance premiums
and other charges made by the corpor-
ations against the peoples surplus
earnings would be so reduced as to
make it possible for them to retain in
their own hands a part of the income
for which they labor instead of being
compelled to contribute it to the "sys-
tenn"
Lawson was in good voice. He did
not read his speech or speak from
manuscript. He was cheered when he
mentioned Bryan and the crowd laugh
ed when he said Bryan's theory was
a joke.
