driving lain. Despite the inclement
weather. nany sturdy athletes braved
The storm, hut it was left for the Iowa
City squad to carry home the trophy.
The boys from the state university
town scored 81 points; Pittsfield
pushed them for second with 10 points
and Galesburg was dangerous with
4 points. Two Keokuk athletes scored.
Stricken ran a game race in the classy
mile event and finished third, while
Pease grabbed one-fourth of point
in the pole vault

The meet was marred to great
extent by the fierce rain, which con-

SOURCE OF WATER
 PUZZLES BOARD

Where to secure an ample supply of pure and wholesome Adams ale" is a proposition that is worrying the board of commissioners of the Con- way waterworks improvement dis trict. The members of the board have been studying the proposition from every angle and are as yet unable to reach decision, and the board has practically decided to call into con- sultation an expert waterworks en- gineer to solve the problem.
 There are about four possible sources of water, all of which have their advantages and disadvantages. The first is deep wells, but here the uncertainty of ever securing sutfl- cient flow of water and the heavy expense of lifting it in case artesian water should be found at a great depth, makes it doubtful, to say the least of it. Impoundng watershed in the range of hills north of town is another possibility, but whether or not this would be satisfactory cannot be determined until an accurate sur vey of the watershed is made. The two other sources are Cadron creek and the Arkansas river. Here the obstacle is the great expense of pip ing the water to the city. The least ii ctapco to aitbor ctraap, iS about Siy miles, and to lay big mains for this distance would cost almost as much as installing the whole system in the city.
 The board is negotiating with sev- eral competent engineers to tackle the proposition and will probably an nounce the employment of one of them within the next few days.

Sl00,0O0 HOME
 FOR HOT SPRINGS

Hot Springs, April 23.-Tentative plans for the erection of a $100,000 Odd Fellows home in this city are being discussed by local members of the order following an adjustment of differences between relatives of the late A. w. Shirey and the Grand Lodge of Odd Fellows, over the will of the unfortunate man who was as- sassinated at Minturn last month.
 The home will be built here and dispatches telling of the agreement by which the Grand Lodge of Odd Fellows is to get 40 per cent of the estate of the assassinated man, were received with profound interest by Hot Springs residents, as the home will be an important institution.
 Shirey, by the terms of his will, left his whole estate, which is report

CAPITOL ORDERS
 LIFTED IN PLACE

Little Rock, April 23-An engin- eering feat which appeared to be nothing more than a mere trifie, was pulled off at the new state capitol yesterday afternoon and this morn ing when two of the 30-ton girders were set in position at the top of the 140-foot columns which will support the stone dome. The immense gird- CTS, 40 feet long and nine feet high, were handled almost as easily as though they were small timbers. The girders will bear the strain of the dome and four are laid at right an- gles to each other at the top of the steel columns, with heavy braces across the corners. It took two cars to bring them to Little Rock and two of the girders have not yet arrived on account of breaking the cars carrying them down, necessitating the sending back for heavy machinery to load them on other cars The two girders were unloaded at the capitol grounds yesterday and it took the most of the afternoon to get one in place, on ac- count of the precautions which had to be taken before it was lifted. The lifting portion took less than five min utes when once everything was in

GOLD EXCITEMENT
 A DISAPPOINTMENT

Center Ridge, April 22.-The ex- citement aroused over the discovery of gold near here diminished to great extent today when it was learn ed that the report of the government assayer who examined the gold stat ed that only $3.75 worth of gold and 53 cents worth of silver was found to the ton. This amount of gold and silver would hardly make operation worth while.
 It is reported here that those who have investigated the matter believe that the metal is no more plentiful elsewhere in the community than where it was first discovered. It is believed, however, that the govern ment assay represents the percentage of gold and silver to be found in the soil and rock anywhere in the com munity.
 The gold was found on hillside on the farm of Larkin Mayhan. Slight gold and silver deposits have been found in the rock about four or five feet underneath the surface in that vicinity.
 A number of people have gone to the place to investigate the matter, but it is believed now that the de- posits are too light to warrant opera tiOn

readiness It took the combined forces of two stationary engines pulling away at large derricks, with cables at each end of the girders, to elevate them. The second girder was placed on top of the columns this morning. Governor Donaghey was an interest ed spectator at the setting of the first girder.

 As result of the agreement, the widow gets 40 per cent of the estate, the Odd Fellows 40 per cent and other relatives the balance

AN OPPORTUNITY

The business men and laboring men of
this city will have an opportunity next
Tuesday to vote for the nomination OF
two good men for congress, namely, G. M.
Hitchcock for the upper house and Laurie
j. Quinby for the lower.

would be fairer to both capital and labor.
One is a business man and believes in the
rights OF labor, and the other is a labor

This chance ought to appeal strongly
tai and labor question except the radicals
of either who vainly imagine that a whip
ping OF the other side will settle Industrial
strife and wipe out class antagonism.
If the fair-minded business men and
fair-minded labortng men cast decisive
vote for this small undertaking, then they
can expect to do greater things later. The
result Will be watched with much interest

over, the opposite idea, that there is an
artificial conflict between the interests

his duty next Tuesday in this matter, and
