Office. j. C. O'Donnell has the contract.

completed the manufacture of the graf

steel and will owe all the windows on
the ground floor of the United States

The government people doubtlessly
think that the bullion which is from
time to time stored in the vault of that
department, requires this additional
protection, but in any event it cannot
but make that end of the building re-
semble a well guarded Jail. Some of
the office force expect that visitors to
the city who arrive on the Northwest
ern will find their first stunt in the
way of sight seeing in crossing the
street and gazing through the bars at
what they will be led to believe are
noted desperate criminals. In order
to heighten the illusion and add to the
realism of the affair, it has been 3ug-
gested that the United States assay Of
