music this year will be t - ,est that
the fair association has es given.
The Indian band is =. lposed of
thirty Indians from sew en- tribes
and they play the best class of music
and are the equal of the best bands
in the country. They come from the
Chilocco, Oklahoma, school, They are
under the charge of Lem H. Wiley, of
Peoria, a skillful musician who has
become famous thru playing the civil
war bugles which he will do at the
state fair this year.
Three new inscriptions were painted
at the state house today. They are on
the arches seen as one stands in front
OF the grand staircase and looks west
toward the rotunda. They are Iowa,

1t seems that the troubles of Com
pany + of the Fifty-fifth regiment of
this city, are not settled as was sup
posed. Captain Kerns resigned it IS
claimed, because the only meeting
night the company could use the arm
ory on the west side of the river was
the night he regularly visited his lady
friend. Then the company at the cost
of making a big row accommodated it's
captain by moving to an east side hall
and Kerns was reelected captain, af-
ter great deal of difficulty and squab-
bling. Today Captain Kerns rendered
his resignation as captain of the COM
pany again, and Colonel Lincoln has
placed Lieutenant G. L. Garten in COM
mand of the company temporarily.
Captain Kerns gives as his reason for
resigning now that he is expecting to
leave the city. Captain Kerns was the
only captain that refused to sign the
round robin agreeing to the unanimous
e-election of Colonel Lincoln as col
onel of the Fiftyfifth regiment.
A flash light picture taken of the
veterinary class in the senate chamber
yesterday caused the belief in the
minds of many who saw the smoke
that the capitol building was on fire
Custodian McCurdy rushed about the
building with Policeman Longshore
and the janitors and for a time there
was a great deal of excitement. The
smoke from the flash light penetrated
te, the rotunda of the building as was
seen there causing the belief that the
building was on fire. The cause of the
smoke was soon located however, The
corridors of the state house have been
covered with building paper to keep
the paint from falling on the tile floor
and drying there and with the scaf-
folding all thru the corridors a fire at
this particular time would be easy to
start and a dangerous thing after
started.
It is now being urged that with the
new decorations completed the legisla-
ture should make an appropriation for
a new floor in, the state house. The.
old tile floor it is claimed is old fash
ioned and inartistic and not in har-
mony with the decorations of the walls
and ceilings. The idea in tile floors
nowadays is large squares instead of
small ones, as were used in the state
house. Another objection to the pres
ent tile floor is that the material of
which it is composed is such that reg
ularly every year with the changing
temperature of the seasons the tile
swells and bulges up and then has to
be torn out in great patches and re-
laid.
