The brick building on the southeast
corner of Twelfth and Tyler streets
and known as the Kansas Meolcal Go t-

given is correct. Mr.. Afford expects
to tear down the old brick building
which for the past four years mas neeIl
used by Washburn college for It's
medical department and in its place
erect a modern residence.
The trustees have. not decided upon
a. location for the medical branch OF

likely that it will be located some

ment of the college and they nope te

THE CARPENTERS.
Dedicated Their New Hall Tuesday
Ninght With Rousing Meeting.

Nineht With Rousine Meeting.
The union carpenters of Lincoln ded-
icated their new hall at $50 North
Tenth street last Tuesday night, and
the occasion was thoroughly enjoyed
by the union men present. The at
tendance was unusually large and the
interest manifested was far above the
average, although the carpenters have
been going some for the last couple
of years. Four new members were OBJ
| ligated, and the business agent an
nounced that he had six or eight appli-
cations in waiting for next week.
Work is unusually brisk despite the
lateness of the season, and Business
Agent BLY, reported that he had more
calls for men than he could supply just
at this time.
1t is reported that the fair grounds
work to be done this season is to be
under the same non-union foreman
| that was employed last year. An
effort will be made to have the board
investigate the matter and see if it
would not be advisable to put union
men on this job
