Cole will put u large force of carpenters at work and expects to have the repairs completed by December 1. The contract for repairing both the barracks and the stables has been let to W. K. Cole who already has much of the material on hand and will begin work tomorrow. The stables will be practically rebuilt, as, in order to make them comfortable, "It will be to double board them throughout * as well as supply new roofs for all of the buildings now being used by the troopers. The stables will also be handsomely painted and otherwise b* autitied. The steps leading to the east wing will be torn away and will be re- j placed by a piazza, 32x15 feet. The building will be painted on both the 1 exterior and the Interior and when the improvements are completed Troop I> will have the most convenient and comfortable quarters of any troop In the department. The improvements to be made on the barracks Include a cellar 16x32 feet, six feet deep, new tile walls under the entire bulling, weatherboarding, new roof, ceiling throughout. and a new additl >n off the west wing, 24x22 feet, with bath room and clothes lockers for the captain and lieutenant.

The scene was described as one of surpassing beauty as the sky surrounding the orb reflected In great profusion all the colors of the rainbow. Today every citizen of the ambitious town at the other end of the Jefferson Traction Company's line is discusing with his neighbors the signilicance of what is described as one of the most gorgeous aerial demonstrations that the inhabitants of this mundane sphere have ever been permitted to ga/.e upon.
