Big BUILDING CONTRACT
FILED AT new ORLEANS.
BIG BANKING STRUCTURE NOT
TO EXCEED $3.50, 900 IN COST. -
CONTRACT CALLS FOR CON-
PLETION BY JULY /. 1907.-CON-
TRACTOR GLOVER TO BE HELD
RESPONSIBLE FOR OVERTIME.

The contract for the erection Of the
Canal Louisiana Bank and Trust Com
pany was filed with the recorder of
mortgages at New Orleans, Wednesday
forenoon. George J. Glover is the con-
tractor, and according to the terms OF
the signed document he is to construct
the building at a cost not to exceed the
sum of $3.50, 900, making it the largest
contract let recently. The building is
to be a nine-story affair, and will go up
on the site of the old Canal Bank at
Camp and Gravier streets, in the square
bounded by Camp, ST. Charles, Common
and Gravier streets.
There are several important provisions
in the contract, one of them being that
the contractor shall have the building
completed and ready to turn over to the
owner on or before July 1, 1907. If the
contractor fails to live up to this clause,
he will haye to pay the owners the sum
of St0O for every days delay. Ofcourse,
if this delay is caused by extra work,
ETC., a further provision is made.
Another feature of the contract is
that if the building, material, labor,
ETC., exceeds the sum Of $3.50, 1000, it will
be up to the contractor to pay the ad-
ditional cost, no matter what it may be.
On the other hand, if the cost of con-
struction of the building. ETC., is lower
than the price fixed, the surplus will be
divided between the contractor and the
owner. 1t does not matter how great
this amount should happen to be, the
equal division will be made. OF course,
the contract reads in the sum of $3.50, 600,
but the above provisions are made never
theless.
A still further clause in the contract
is that on the first day of each month
the architects shall furnish the owner
with an estimate of the value of mate
rials erected and work that has actually
been done and performed on the build
ing and also material delivered. After
this the contractor is to receive 80 pct
of the estimate price of the architects
Another clause is that no payments will
be made by the owner to the contractor
except upon the production of a certifi-
cate from the recorder of mortgages fol
this parish showing that there are nc
liens recorded against the owner of the
building.
The contractors bond is taken care O.
by the Fidelity and Deposit Company o.

NOVEMBER.
Guthrie, Ok, August 28.-The Ques-
ton of the political complexion Of the
Oklahoma Constitutional Convention,
which will convene in Guthrie Novem-
Der 20, is now attracting much attention
from Territory politicians. While, fol
instance, Republican leaders are still
claiming the convention; in private.
they generally admit that they expect
the convention to have from ten to
twenty five Democratic majority.
Republican headquarters, just after
the Restricting Board had finished its
work, estimated that the Republicans
would elect at least thirty-eight and
possibly forty of the 1ftyfive delegates
apportioned to the Oklahoma side OF
the new State, and that the Republicans
would also eject twenty, with posi-
bility of getting twenty-six of the fifty
five delegates from Indian Territory
This estimate, which is believed to have
been inspired by the Districting Board
itself, would give the Republicans a
working majority of from three to ten
delegates out of 112, which will compose
the convention.
How strongly Democratic the new
State would normally be, can readily be
seen when the DiStricting Board, after
doing a remarkable job of gerrymand der
ing, was unable to arrange the districts
so as to give the Republican party, even
according to their own claim, any stron-
ger representation than that.
The Boards intention to make the
Constitutional Convention Republican
is unquestlonable, but it was apparently
attempting the impossible.
That county seat fights will disturb
political conditions somewhat on the In
dian Territory side is doubtless true,
but to what extent it will be hard to de-
termine.
AS result of his recent visits to In
| dian Territory Secretary Charles Filsor
expresses the belief that party lines viii
be eliminated in a great many of the
Indian Territory districts in the election
OF Constitutional Convention delegates
, due primarily to county seat fights
Every delegate district has at least one
town that desires to be county seat
frequently more; and those towns will
ordinarily select the men whom they
consider the best qualified to look afte
their interests, regardless of politics. II
| is believed that Democrats will be gain
ers by this condition, as the Southern
districts, which would return Democrats
on straight party vote, will send Demo
Gratis anyway, because of their large
majorities; while in the Northern dis
tricts, where the Republicans would
have the best of it by small maiorities
the nonpartisan idea is likely to result
in returning some Democrats from Re
| publican districts.

the Republicans jubilant. Roosevelt
has urged the return of a Republican
congress to carry out his reform
movements.
President Roosevelt today wired
his congratulations to Governor-elect
Hughes of New York.
In congressional and administration
circles Secretary Root is given the
credit for the defeat Of Hearst. The

ELECTION
IN ANDERSON COUNTY
WAS VERY TAME.-THE LIGHT
EST VOTE IN YEARS WAS CAST.
DEMOCRATS STAY IN.

The election yesterday was a very
tame affair With the very finest of
weather, with crops practically laid
by, the town people with plenty of
time to go to the polls, and yet the
vote was very light In fact it is
doubtful if an election ever passed by
with as little interest manifested.
This was not for lack of interest in
the candidates, but comes from hay
ing what the boys call a "cinch." The
Democratic ticket was elected without
any trouble, and everything is all
right if that was all there was to be
looked after, but unfortunately in our
present system of nominating the gen.
eral election is worth nothing except
as a means of fixing our party con-
vention strength. And that is where
the light vote of yesterday hurts.
Anderson county is cut way down in
convention strength. When we go to
the next convention we will look like
three lead dimes, and the situation,
so far as our influencing it will be
about as dark as the inside of black
COW. This is a more serious matter
than may at first occur to you. But
the work has been done. If we can
not vote stroDg we have shown 'em
that We can elect rafting good set
Of officers.

FAULTY DIGESTION
Quickly Skaters the Nervous Sys-
TEN and Should be Given
Attention at Once.

The most common cause of weak and
shattered nerves is faulty digestion.
For that reason Mi-o-na stomach
tablets are of the greatest good to any
nervous sufferer. They strengthen the
digestive system SO that it will assimi-
late all the elements of nerve force
from the daily food, and the nerves
will be strengthened, sleeplessness
will be overcome and weakness will
vanish.
If you have specks before the eyes,
sick and nervous headaches or back
aches, in fact, if there are any symp-
toms Of Indigestion or nervousness, be-
gin the use of Mi-o-na at once, and you
will soon notice Improvement in health.
You run no risk in buying Mi-o-na,
for L. P. Van Werden gives an absolute
guarantee with every 50-cent box, that
the money will be refunded unless Mi

According to the figures in the Office
of the state auditor the most valuable
farm lands in the state is the land in
Polk county and the next most valuable
is in Scott county. In Polk county the
average of the farm land, as adjusted
by the executive council, is $3.50 per
acre and in Scott county $50.74 per
acre. The fact that there are large
cities in these counties accounts for
the high valuation. The county rank
ing third in it's valuation of farm lands
is Benton county, county without
large cities, in which the valuation is
$53.21. The valuation of Taylor is
S3S.4S; Union, $35.40; Decatur, S31.6O.
The cheapest land in the state is in
Allamakee county, away at the north
east corner of the state, where the
average is S23, and the next cheapest
is Ringgold county where the valuation
lis $29.91. The valuation depends
largely upon the little cities and the
support given to them by the country.
The two stand or fall together. If,
therefore, you want your land value to
increase you must support your nearby
cities.

yer since the Australian system

Ever since the Australian system of
voting has been in vogue in Iowa there
has been circle on the ticket until this
year and parties who wished to vote
the straight ticket for either party
simply made mark in the circle. This
year it is different and it will be neces-
sary to make cross in the square be-
fore every candidate for whom the
voter wishes to cast his vote. This is
important and no vote will be counted
for any one unless there is cross in
the square in front of the name. Habit
becomes second nature and being used
to the circle for number of years we
fear that unless particular attention is
paid to this new mode Of voting, there
will be more lost votes in this county
than ever before. 1t is only necessary
now in order to vote the straight
ticket to commence at the top and mark
a square in front Of every name on the
ticket. Voters be careful and see that
every square has cross in it before
every candidate for whom you wish to
vote.

Hon. VIM. R. Hearst, candidate for
governor of New York, is being de-
nounced as an anarchist and socialist,
besides few other things. The only
thing he ever did to win such name
was his efforts to separate grafters and
bosses from their jobs. An established
CRATER thinks it is justas much an act
of anarchy to deprive him of his "iob"
as an honest man does his. Grating is
getting so deep rooted that it is almost
respectable" in some quarters. A man
like Hearst is needed to put the "big
ones as well as the small ones in
stripes.
