Iowa Building Raced.

The state board Of control has re-
ceived notice from the Louisiana Pur-
chase Exposition that every bit of ma
terial used in the construction of the
Iowa building has been removed and
that the grounds'h had been restored to
the same condition in which they were
before the big exposition. All that now
remains to be done is to SOW grass
where stood the handsome Iowa building
but this the Iowa commission has been
relieved from doing owing to the sea-
son. Even the cement walks had to be
removed and the cellar refilled before
the grounds were accepted as restored.
In all the board of control has secured
eighteen cars of material from the demo-
lition of the Iowa building which was
presented to the board by the state
commission. Even the nails were saved
in tearing down the structure and over
a dozen kegs of nails alone were shipped
to Knoxville, where most of the material
is to be used in the construction of the
state hospital for inebriates.
There were four car loads Of furniture
and fixtures saved from the exposition
building, which were distributed among
the state institutions under the board
of control. Twenty-Five potted palms
were also brought from the building and
divided among the institutions at DAY.
export, Fort Madison, Mt. Pleasant,
Clarinda and Glenwood. A car Of
building material was sent to each of
the following institutions: Davenport,
Independence, Eldora, Mitchellville and
Gleenwood to be used in the new build
ings being erected there:
In all it is figured that the board Of
control secured close to 100000 feet of
lumber from the Iowa building. The
bulk of this will be used at Knoxville
this summer. In planning the admins
tration building there the board ar
ranged to use the windows, doors and
interior inishings of the exposition
building and on one contract alone a
reduction of $4,000 was secured for the
use of this old material.
The tearing down of the Iowa build
ing began December and has occupied
four months. During that time not an
accident has occurred despite the haz-
| ardous character Of the work and the
immense amount of material to be
handled Iowa is one of the first, if
not the first state, to complete the re-
moval Of it's state building from the ex-
position grounds. 1t is also said that
this state has secured more salvage
from it's building than any other repre-
scented in St. Louis.

LITERARY lore.

The leading article in Success Mag.
azine for September deals with the
appointment of EliEu Root as Secre-
tary OF State, to take the place of the
late John Hay. To say that this sketch
IS interesting and instructive when
lt is told by Walter Wellman is to at
tempt TO emphasize a self evident
truth. Mr.. Wellman is one of the
leading journalists of America. aud is
also one of Mr.. Roots closest friends.
The other features are particularly in
teresting this month. The department
OF The Well Dressed Man, " conduct
ed by Alfred Stephen Bryan, is one
OF the most popular departments in
any magazine-it is the only one now
published giving young men the latest
