titions in them which will give each
will be approximately sixteen by
twenty feet each in size.
Raised in Sections.
To build these additional rooms it
has been necessary to raise the outer
edge of the sloping roof on the court
side of the building distance of
twelve feet. The roof is being raised
in sections of six feet each, by means
of jacks placed under the big steel
Orders. The weight of each section
of the roof including the gfrders, is
about four tons.
The big Orders are being first cut
at the outer edge of the roof, where
they are inbedded in the brick walls.
A new process of cutting steel by
flame and heat is being used. and SO
only about two minutes to cut each
girder.
When the roof was originally built
there was heavy slope in 1t from
the middle to the sides. To create
the new rooms 1t became necessary
only to raise the Orders and the roof
they supported on the outer edge SO
that when they stuck out straight tney
would be on the same leve! as the
middle of the roof. This is being dohe'
day by day, in sections.
The roof is constructed of four-1nch con-
crete slabs, reinforced, laid on the steel
eirders and covered with copper on the
outside. The copper outside is cut. then
the reinforced concrete slabs and then
the supporting Orders at the outer edge
Jacks on platforms are then placed under
each girder, six-foot section being
taken at a time, and at the word GO
every man at every jack takes a turn at
his instrument, and up the big four-ton
mass goes, inch by inch, without crack
or break.
Ingenious Device.
s. S. Hunt, constructor of the force OF
the superintendent Of the Capitol, devised
for the work an ingenious "rocker and
SHOE" as they are called, to hold in place
the ends of the big Orders In the middle
Of the roof, which are not being cut.
Naturally, the Earring and moving OF
them, when their outer ends are cut, has
at the middle of the roof. Mr. Hunts
shoe is fastened to the big corridor
Orders. in the middle of the roof, and
the rocker is fastened to the glrder
that is to be- moved. The device gives
the effect of ball and socket joint.
F. L. Pierson. formerly in the employ

changes now being made. although all
the work is being done under the super

REILLY IS BETTER
AND MAY RECOVER
Favorable Reports From
Young Man Who Alleges
Friend Shot Him.

Francis A. Reilly, stenographer and
clerk to Senator Bristow of Kansas, who,
1t is charged. was shot two weeks ago
by Detlef H. Schultz. former clerk at
the headquarters of the progressive
committee is rapidly gaining ground. ac-
cording to a report last night from the
Casualty Hospital, where he is under
treatment.
1t was stated last night that Reilly
may be permitted to sit up few min
utes today. He is eating solid food, and
what nourishment he takes seems to
agree with him. The wound is in
splendid condition, it is stated, and only
complications that are not now an
ticipated could prove a setback to the
patient.
Circulars Sent Broadcast.
The dragnet thrown out by the police
chief to encompass Schultz extends prac-
tically over the entire world, and cir
culars bearing a splendid likeness of
the alleged assailant are posted in every
city of any size and most of the smaller
towns throughout the country.

ton to him." stated member of the
police force last night. Il cannot under
identify. and 1t is mystery how he has
managed to keep out of sight for SO
long a time.
Indeed he added. Il am sometimes
almost forced to the conclusion that he
has killed himself
Several times during the past two
weeks the police learned that persons
answering the description of the man
wanted have been seen at different
places. but in each instance the report
was proved to be unfounded
Belief of the Police.
lit is. the belief of the police. ldat he
had very little money other than the
$3.50 he drew from bank before leaving
for Denver prior to the shooting. The
strange part of the affair. so far as the
police are concerned is that so far as
they have been able to ascertain no ac-
quaintance or other person has actually
seen Schultz since the morning of the
shooting when Reilly says he saw him.
Reilly has improved so much the past
few days. it is stated, that he is strong
enough to make a detailed statement of
the shooting. An additional statement
is not necessary however. the police say,
as he already has told them everything
he processes to know of the affair.

Office building. Iron and steel men visit

because of lack of knowledge Of tech

The intention is to add fifty-one rooms
to the top of the House Office building,
on the court side, SO that they may not
be seen from the street. and So that
they may not, therefore, interfere with

Congratulations have been pouring in

GREAT field
Of ICE LEFT
Prairie Just West Of River
for Mile Square Is Gov
cred With DerQS

One Of the most spectacular sights
which it is ones good fortune to be-
hold is the field of ice created by the
| overflow of the river the fore part OF
this week. One who has not witness
ed the condition created by the owe
flow of a mighty river in the spring
when the ice is breaking up, cannot
imagine what a spectacle it presents.
1t Is simply one Of natures pictures,
too extravagant for the human mind
to originate, or eve In detail or mag
nitude to conceive.
Such a picture as this prevails on
the Mandan side of the Missouri, AND
north of the track. Out OH the prairie
where the river overfowed, the reced-
ing waters left cakes of ice from the
size of those which the iceman brings
to your home for so much per, to
''berEs" as large as that which sunk
the Titanic. There it lies in one
jumbled-up mess, many feet deep.
right up to the track, and when the
track was repaired it vas necessary
to remove hundreds of tons Of the
crystal in order to get gangway for
the trains. The scene Is inspiring
and demonstrates to one the tremend-
GUS force which rushed down the Mis-
souri, valley, sweeping before it
homes, and all kinds Of property. One
great wonder is that the Northern Pa
cific grade withstood the pressure at
all-and it would not had it not been
Of the very best construction. =
But the trouble is over, though the
tremendously heavy trains Of the
Northern Pacific have to creep like a
tortoise over the reconstructed grade,
and one feels better when he is on
the other side, though there is no
danger. Surely "Old Muddy" has
again proven her treachery, for which
she has become famous.

indian COUNCIL
Is PROGRESSIVE
Cannon Ball Meeting Urges
Diversified Farming
AmODg|lndians

AT Il council of Indians held recent.
ly at Cannon Ball there was a resolu.
tion passed which urged the residents
OF the reservation to go more into
diversified farming and give up the
stock raising to a certain extent. In
times past there has been a vast
range for cattle and horses, but now
that the land is to be opened for set
tlement there will necessarily be a
curtailment of the range and it ap.
pears that the Indians have realized
this. There are at the present time
but few farming implements on the
reservation, but a movement has al
ready been started to secure enough
to make a start. The sentiment at
the meeting was practically unaIi-
nous for the change in methods and
it is expected that this year will see
many changes and much grain raised.
