A smile of contentment rested on
the features of Geo. A. Silsby We'd
nesday when he ascertained that
the material he had been waiting for
a month had arrived. The material
loaded in a car at ST. Louis, Mo,
a month ago, and after waiting a
reasonable time for it, the company
sent out a tracer to see if it could
be found. The tracer went clear back
to St. Louis and the a of material
was found standing in the yards of
the company, it never having been
moved since it was loaded.
1. A. D. Walpole car now rest with
some comfort as long as the movers
have. got his hotel building on its
foundation on the corner of First
avenue. and LAWYER street. Housemov-
er Perry. took the contract to move
the old Larrabee house from over a
mile north of town, and for. two
months they haye been at work on
their contract. 1t has been a long
job and was not done without en-
.eQuntering many difficulties. One
day they got the big house on the
Omaha track while an engine was
switching in the yards and they
kicked a car back on the track that
bumped into the house and did some
damage to it, aside from knocking
nearly all the plastering off. Mr..
Walpole will convert the building
into a hotel and he did hope that he
would have it in readiness by corn
palace time. Whether he will or not
Is a question.

gentlemen said that a large commit
tee from all the towns on the pro-
posed route was we'll entertained
by the club and the project was thor
oughly discussed. They expressed
themselves as we'll satisfied with the
conference and that eventually some
thing good would result from it. The
present state of the money market
Is such that much advancement can
not be made toward the building
