At present the house is in a badly demoral ized condition owlntf to the faet that the earp - p < ; nter.s have been , and are still , at work , making extensive alterations. A wine has been added to the northwest corner ot the building. Ttio raising of the house has Driven a chance for the mnlUntr of n basetncnt un derneath , while the roof has been lifted up and the attic formed , which will add four more n.utns to the establishment. In the basement arc the illnliitr room , kitchen , pan try , cellar , laundry and boiler room , thu lat ter of which is to contain tlio heating appa rat us.

The second lloor has two rooms , located on the north side of the house , for patients who are able to pav a good price for Ihdr keep- Inn. They will be Hcely furnished. In Iho rear part of thu same lloor are two rooms set apart for the county patients. Each room can tie made to ( told three beds. When all the changes have been tnado. there will bo eighteen rooms for the use of the patients , without the four on the attic lloor , which are not lo bo used for patients unless they should bo needed. This is six tnoro rooms than werein the whole house before. The work of furnishing the rooms has been undertaken by various church and charitable orKuiiI/uttons. The Married Ladies' Social society , the Order of Iho Eastern Star , the ladies of Iho Hroadwnv Methodist church , and the King's Daughters of the 1'rcnuy- tcriau and Con i : relational churches have each taken ono room and will furnish it. Mrs. John T. St'wart has also furnished a room. All the rooms are Ini-go , and each ono can be made to hold atloasttwo beds , so that thu hospital can bo made to accommodate moro patients than over before.

DKS Motsr. , la. , May n.-Special [ to Tut : UKH.J Lively Interest has been developed In lown politics by the events ot the past week. The meeting of the democratic stale central committee on Thursday , which decided to hold Iho slate convention at Ottumwn June .M. Is slgnlticant from the faet that the date fixed will probably result In the democratic convention being held prior to the republi can convention for the tlrst time in ihu his tory of the parlies in Ibis stale. This Indi cates in a measure that the democrats Intend to take an aggressive position and sot a pat- lorn which Iho republicans , of course , will take core not to follow. This gathering of the state contra ! com mittee brought togelher many of Ihu lead ing democrats of the state , nsldo from the members of the coiumiltee , mid n sort of "Inside" state convention was hold , which decided a number of things that will bo ma- leriali/.ed al the stated meeting next month. Among these was thu doternnnation that Governor Boies will have no democratic op position in his candidacy for re.elcction. and thai S. L. Bestow will probably bo tils run ning mute for lieutenant-governor , .ludgo Kliino will probably bo nominated for su- nremo judge , and Hon. I'eter A. Day for railway commissioner. The platforni will not differ materially from that of former years. The movement among the farmer's alliances and kindred organizations for an Independent nominating convention early iii.luuois looked upon with suspicion , as a sort of democratic scheme to cnlrap republican alliance men Inlo severing their connection with the republican party In the in terests of democratic candidates. The vote on congressman in Iho Eleventh district last lull Is cited In proof ot this , which showed thai the full democratic vote was polled for Iho party candidate , while several thousand votes were drawn from the republican ranks fur thu alliance candidate and came near de feating Iho republican candidate. The same scheme wits successfully worked in the Ninth district , and also reduced the repub lican majority In the Tenth. The republican state central committee will meet in this city nuxt Thursday to decide - cido upon the time and place of holding thu next state convention. It is thought DCS Moincs will Do the place and some time near Iho middle of July the time chosen. IXTEKSTlTi : COI.I.iii : : OUATOIir.

PEXIIALLO\Y'S \ JE\VS ( \ ETHICS. _ _ Knto Field's Washington : Mooney was tolling about the now reporter who had been added to the local staff ot tlio daily Bumblebee , a newspaper published in a small Now England town. The Humblebeo's local staff had consisted of live young men , including Jenkins , the city editor ; but when the eennis olllcc at Washington announced that the city had grown since ISM ) , it was decided to in crease the local force to six. "Ho won't last two weeks , " inter rupted Dnrcv , who made a specialty of crime , and llfo a burden to curtain Now York editors with his perennial applica tions for a "job , " "Well , bo's an odd one , " continued Moonoy. "I took him around town this afternoon ; ho looked so homesick , you know. I'onhallow that's his name never spoke a word , but sliulllod along at my heels. It was fun to hear him tell about trying for a position on the big papers. Olio New York editor wrote him that , unless ho was an unusually bright young man , he stood an excellent chance of securing a position on the "S-s'-s- ! " hissed Darcy , "hero ho is. " Tlio young man who > appeared in the doorway of the city editor s ollice of the daily Humblebee paused as lie saw tlio face's in the corn.uTlio Humblebee re porters were ob.-orving enough to notice iiis biuo eyes , very wide open and very nonest. "Ho must weigh about a hundred , " thought Darcy , critically. "Oh ! Mr. lj-p-ponhallow , ' , called out Jenkins , tlio city editor , who had novel- been completely cured of stuttering. ' 'Is lie d-d-dead ? " "He died just a mlinito before I got there , " answered I'enhallow in a half- an.xiotis tone , as though ho would apolo gize for having missed the dissolution. "Hut the wife was in the room where ho lay and called me in. There ho was on the bed. Hadn't been touched. His feet stuck tip llkethat. His mouth was wide open , and so were his eyes. And there were three scared little girls , standing in a row. " Anelusivo laugh came from across the room , and then all of us who had heard I'cnhallow tell how ho had cov ered his lirst assignment joined in the merriment. "But she was right glad to see mo , " Penhallow hastened to add , "and she told mo lots of things about him more than you will want 'touso , perhaps , " ap pealing to Jenkins. Whether it was duo to this incident ot to his good natnro matters little ; i'on- hallow soon became an plllco "charac- ler. " Tlio boys liked him because ) ho did not burst with ambition to break the Humblebee record in newsgathering , Ho had his good points ; everyone em ployed on the Uumblebeo , of course , had those. Pcnhallow's specialty consisted in what Jenkins called "color. " Jenkins often said : "Now , p-p-put lots of c-c- color into it. " Ono afternoon it was Wednesday I was hurrying into the ollice. I ran plump into I'onhallow , whoso fuco as he drew back from the collision , I could see was white with pain. In a moment ho had rushed from the corrodor to the street and was gone. What had happened. The day before , Penhallow had been sent to lloltorskoltor , a small outlying town , to investigate a rumored bank de falcation by a cashier whoso character had been hold to bo Irreproachable by tlio country peoploand whoso social and church connections were of the sort that made any wrong doing doubly sensational. When Jenkins heard the rumor , no ono but Penhallow was available. "A very inip-p-portant case , Mr. Pen- hallow , " were Jenkins' last words. Penhallow worked several hours , and upon his return said that ho could find nothing to substantiate the rumors. To give farther circulation to moro gossip affecting the cashier's relations with the bank and his standing in the com munity , said HoportorPenhallowdually , would bo slanderous and indefensible. Tlio next morning the Humblelieo did not have n word about the IleUorskoltor bank defalcation and the mysterious disappearance of Cashier John Clancy. Hut both the rival sheets liad long and highly flavored stories , The Humblebee - bee , tlio leading newspaper of tlio city , seemed to have been "beaten" in a most mortifying manner in its own Hold. Darcy , whoso specialty was crime , was fairly upset , Jenkins well , Jenkins said "d-d- damn1' out loud , lie foresaw a stormy interview with the managing editor. Then ho called up Iho resident Holler- skelter correspondent by telephone. This fellow , piqued at having been dis placed on his own ground , said that many Holterskoltorites behoved that Penhallow had been bribed to suppress the news. Jenkins accepted for the moment the bribery hypothesis as aplnusiblooxplan- ation. Ho was still at the telephone when Penhallow came in. Jenkins rushed upon him. "It's a lie ! " was Ponhallow's breath less answer. Tlio charge Jenkins had thrown at him left the lad quivering. "Mr. P-p-pen-hall-allow , " stuttered Jenkins , "you leave tonight ! If there Is no reason for tlio st-st-tory printed this morning in every other p-p-papor in this bl-bl-blooming town , you might go to w-w-work to prove it. If you do prove it , I'll give you t-f-llfty d-d.dollarsl'1 PonhullnV said nothing and left the room. He took the next train fo > ' IIul- tcrnkultor. What had Ponhallow done ? " 1 admit that Mr. Clancy has boon ab sent from the bank for. several days , " the president of the lloltorhkeltor Na tional bank had told him , "but that's none of your business. Hasn't a man a right to bo away from his work a llttlo while without tlieso blasted newspapers pouncing on him ?

" "Hut why keep Mr. Clancy's where abouts a secret ? ' persisted Penhallow. "That is what starts all these stories. Tlio bald-headed , smug-faced Ilodg- kins a man who had represented III- terskelter in the legislature so often that he nursed an ambition to riinfo lieutenant governor llodgkins , 1 say , stared very hard at the youth in front of him. Then ho ga/cd at a yoke of oxen passing by with slow , ponderous stride. "Well , " ho said finally and with con siderable snap , "you newspaper follows make life a burden to the Heltorskullor- itcs with your infernnl yarns. I refused to say a word to the other reporters who j came' came to see me , and perhaps I made a mistake. They're bound to print something. " Hank President llodgkins had there upon written a note to Mrs. Clancy , the cashier's wife , and handed it to Ponlial- low. "There , " ho said , "take that to her. If she refuses now to explain , she will do it on her own responsibility. sir. " Good-day , "A repot tori" Mrs. John Clancy had gasped , as Penhallow seated himself in tlio front room of the Clancy residence. The representative of the Uumblobeo assured her that ho was harmless. "My husband ? " the woman queried , as Penhallow sttitodli is business. .She end the note from llodgkins. "O dear ! ISvoryhiing is right. John has done nothing. Those stories are monstrous ! You do not believe thorn ? Hardly had she spoken , when there sounded'a voice , calling : "Clara. " It was a man's voice. Mrs. Clancy rushed from the room. When she returned , about twenty min utes later , her face was" lucent with joy. "Dear me ! ' ' she exclaimed ; "I forgot you entirely. I will toll you all about it if you will promise mo not to write any thing for the paper. 1 do want to keep it secret. I wouldn't have it got out for the world. " She llxed two appealing eyes upon I'onhallow. The representative ) of the Humblebee had arisen from his chair and , with dig nity , said : "Madam , I am satisfied that the rumor of a defalcation by your hus band is false , and that ho is merely 111 at his own house here in Helterskelt r. I do not consider it my business to inquire why your husband is 111 , If you , his wife , are anxious to keep his illness from the public. " "How good of you ! " The next morning , after she had seen the daily papers , Mrs , C'loncy ( oiind refuge - ugo in her ammonia bottle , while Hodg- kins had chortled in his rape and tore the offending sheets into long , curling strips , Then lie ordered the leading lleltorskolter lawyer to bring libel suits all around "at once , sir , at once ! " A few hours later Penhallow strolled into the bank president's olllcc. For some time llodgkins stonily pointed his linger at Ponhallow and pounded his knees to accentuate his wrath. In about half an hour , however , the Humblobeo's disgraced reporter walued out with the placid look of a cat that had just supped oil an uncommonly fat and juicy mouse. Mr. Pcnhollow was to finish belabors for the dally Humblebee Saturday night. On Wednesday-evening ho appeared at his desk again , and for an hour wrote rapidly. Tlio ho walked to Jenkins'desk and , placing his "copy" before himsaid , with the air of one about to lead in prayer : "Mr. Jenkins , allow mo. ' ' Tlio most conspicuous news article on the Humblebeo's llrst page the next morning was headed : WHY CLANCY 1MSAPPKAKKD. Till : TItUK STOUY OK THAT IIANIv ll > KAU'ATION' AT Hr.I/J'KltSKICl.THIt. The cause of Cashier John Clancy's mysterious disappciirnnco from his desk at the Hcllorskoltor National bank the llrst of this week lias finally been re vealed. In swallowing his soup at Sun day evening's dinner Mr. Clancy so fai forgot himself as to swallow a pinto ol false teeth. The teeth caught in tin pharynx and were not recovered until Tuesday afternoon , when suddenly , de spairing of going further down , thoj made a jump the other way. Mr. Clancy in his joy shouted , "Clara , " the name of his wife , who was in the adjoin ing room this word being the dis tressed man's first utterance since thu tenth disappeared.
