Peter M. Musser, the lumberman of that place made an offer to pay 20’ per cent of the cost oi a new building no matter what the i cost might be. Word of this offer came [ to the ears of Thomas Irvine of St.! Paul and he wrote to the officers of The association at Muscatine that lie would have to do as well as Mr. Mus-ser, or would it please. Mr. Musser to put up 25 per cent of the cost of a building if he. Irvine, wouhl do so. That settled it.' And at this banquet at which were 1 Governor-elect A. B. Cummins. Judge | Sheldon P.
