shops and round house are be
ing torn down in Hiawatha , and
soon then : will be nothing
more than a round house lett
there , for all of which the
Hiawatha people feel justly

Heineman gets Another Patent.
This week Chas. II. Heineman
received a patent from Canada
on his special dumping wheel
barrow. He.MM that there
were quite a number of dumping
devices upon which patents had
been issued , but that upon
nature dehitieniiins he has re-
ctivi-i ! patents trom the American

terested in manufacturing these
wheelbarrows at home , though
he says that he has received in
teresting proposals from man
ufactures who desire to push the
invention upon a royalty. The
device is certainly new and the

praised by the prosessor.
