The coal shute which is being erected
in the "yard" of the P. B. W. Railroad
at this place, is now completed and
would be ready for immediate use if it
were not for the fact the engine has
not arrived to furnish motive power
for the new machine. This, however,
is expected in few days.

'cessfully employed in the rotunda and
corridors is followed here. 1t is not un-
likely that when the Legislature comes
together next winter the senate will
be green with envy and will wish to
have its end Of the state house done IN
much the same style. The lighting will
be done by incandescent electric lights
placed in profusion about the ceiling
and above the galleries and worked
into the decorations in an artistic man
ner The scagliola columns have all
been put in place and are now being
polished. For each column there Is a
backing of the same material which
has not all been placed. It is in im-
itation of marble and 1t is claimed that
the polish that is put on It is a little
better than anything ever seen before.
1t is rapidly nearing completion and
by the time the artists are thru which
will be in about a month, there Will
remain nothing to do to complete the
chamber but to put the seats in place
which will take but a short time.
There Is but one criticism now that
is heard of the decorations at The state
house. In the main corridor four rab-
bits figure in the decorations. There
woud be more hut for the doors that
are placed SO as to make breaks In
the panels. The criticism is concern
ing the rabbits. The rabbits are not
without friends, however. though q
number who have viewed the decora-
tions are confident that the rabbits are
not the variety that Is commonly seen
in Iowa at least. They claim they re-
semble their cousin, the dog, too much
to be Iowa rabbits and are claiming
that the New Workers who painted
them are probably not familiar with
the class Of rabbits raised In this
state. The rabbits occupy positions
In the borders OF the panels just above
of the main corridor.

OIL KING DOUBLES GUARD.
Rockefeller Fears for his Life DUR
inc Present Scandal. 8:

. -.
Cleveland, o., July lit Is said
that. John D. Rockefeller's fears for
his personal safety again have boz
come paramount. The bodyguard at
Forest Hill isa said to have been in-
creased and to have received renewed
exhortation to vigilance. Predictions
are added that Rockefeller will fore
60 his frequent appearances in public
until the agitation against him shall
have died away.
It is pointed out that he is much
more sensitive to appearance than is
commonly supposed, and SO, even II
unafraid for his life, he would hesi-
tate before appearing at his church or
elsewhere while the revived scandal Is
present sensation.
The present controversy with Ida
Tarbell, during which the woman's
magazine article has gained broad cir
culation, has made the oil king ner-
vous, and It is said that he fears that
some crank who might have become
convinced Of the veracity of the print
ed statements may attempt his life.
Rockefeller has always lived more or
less in seclusion while In Cleveland,
but has never failed to attend Sunday
school regularly.
Now his residence on Forest Hill is
we'll nigh unapproachable. Even his
private secretary cannot be seen. The
utmost vigilance is being maintained
by the attendants at the Forest Hill
residence, and every intruder, no mat
ter what might be his errand, Is close
1y questioned and practically ordered
off the premises after a brief hearing.
Never before was such vigilance the
rule.

WOOD MAY BE CHOSEN.
President May Send Him to Cleanse
Canal Zone.

Canal Zone.
Washington, July 14.-General Leon
ard Wood may be called upon by the
president to rid the canal zone of yell
low fever as he did the City OF Hav-
ana. General Wood returned recently
from the Philippines, and should Col
onel Gorgas, the chief sanitary officer
on the isthmus, fail to stamp out the
fever, the general, who was Gorgas'
superior In Havana, may again be de-
tailed in that capacity.
President Roosevelt referred to the
great value Of General Woods services
in Cuba in an address yesterday to the
Associated Physicians Of Long Island.
and from his words the inference is
drawn by department officials here
that the president has in mind to avail
himself Of General Woods services
should the men and measures now at
work on the isthmus not prove sue
cessful.
President Has Authority.
General Woods high rank in, the
army would not preclude his detail, as
the president has authority to detail
him for special work in the zone.
Conditions on the isthmus are de-
scribed by war department officials as
not so distressing or precarious as the
stories told by returning Americans
would indicate. A great deal has al
ready been accomplished to improve
the sanitation of the zone, they say.
and yellow fever will be as effectually
stamped out there as it was at Havana.
Whether General Wood actually goes
to the isthmus to take charge OF the
sanitation or not, it is regarded as
certain that the president will have
him investigate health conditions there
and recommend such measures as
should, in his judgment, be adopted.
