S. officers resident! here !. That building is now completed and occupied by all entitled to offices in it.
THE APPROPRIATIONS.
The first appropriation for the building was secured by Mr. Kasson in the winter of 1866-7. The amount was $65,000-$15,000 for the ground; and the balance to be used in starting the work. Mr. Dodge during his term secured a further appropriation of eighty-nine thousand dollars, and Mr. Palmer since his election has secured three appropriations,. . amounting in the aggregate to fifty two thousand dollars. This makes a total appropriation of $208,000.
THE LOCATION
was selected by a commission, appointed by the government, composed of Hon B. F. Allen, Major Hoyt Sherman, and Hon. C. C. Cole. This site is a central and a good one,
" THE BUILDINGES

The ground is to be leveled, trees planted and grass sown. The gas fixtures of the house cost $3,000, and include 802 burners. The chandelier in the Court room has forty-eight burners, and cost $800.
The heating apparatus cost $7000.1 The marble tiling delivered in the city cost about $3000
The ceiling in the Post Office and hall is divided into panels and every room has cornices in its corners!
One hundred and eighty-five thousand dollars have already been expended on the structure.
The furniture for the various offices will be worth ten thousand dollars.
The building is almost fire proof. The doors were manufactured Here, and are of walnut and cherry Limber.) All the wood work of the interior is varnished and left its natunil color.
The building in all its parts is fully a magnificent piece of work, an ornament to Des Moines and a credit to the United States Govern- ment.
We have heard folks who have seen many - postoffices, say that ours is the finest in inward | finish 'and arrangement of any in the United States, and we believe in saying this they speak truthfully.

1 CHAPTER OF TEMPERANCE. -
We make mention of the above named temperance organization, as it is expected there will be a Chapter established here before long.' This order is somewhat similar to the I. O. G. T. in its workings, except they have no Degree Lodges; their obligation is not life-long, binding only while a person is a member of the Chapter. They forbid avery thing that will intoxicate, but thinking that swpot cider should not be forbid- den, no more than the apple or apple butter, as it is not called alcohol until fermentation takes place.
