Several doctors treated my case but none gave re-
lief, finally used B. B. B. as an experiment, and
to my utter astonishment all pain and suffering van
ished after using three dosea. To the present
time have used three bottles, and not pain has

FILE CASES.

In 1881 the room used as file-room
was filed to overlooking, and another adj
joining room was taken. BY the first OF
last January both rooms were filed and
some $4,000 files were unprovided for.
This necessitated an additional room, with
an assistant clerk or Encouragement Of
the files. After careful inquiry deter
mined to discard the cumbersome wooden
cases and replace them with iron. in
yited proposals for the construction of
iron file cases containing space for not
less than 5000 packages of so files each.
Mr.. Gus Wilke was again the lowest bid
der, and was awarded the contract al
$1,3O8. He completed the job, furnishing
a total Of 5,545 pigeon-holes. This en-
apled me to concentrate all the files from
the two rooms into one room, and still
have room for some 10000 additional
files.
This change, with the fre-proof ceiling,
furnishes absolute security from fire. In
this connection IL is proper to add that
in tearing ont the old ceiling 1t was found
to have been on fire at some previous
time in Ave different places, and in two
instances pine beams twelve inches square
we're burned through. Only want of air
saved the state from a loss which cannot
be estimated.

COUNTY TRANSCRIPTS.

The law authorizes newly organized
counties, or those which have lost their
records, to employ an agent to transeribe
the field notes in the general
land Office. Sometimes several
of these agents are at WORK at

and seriously impedes the work of the Of

years of misplaced papers have been

REPAIRS 70 BUILDING.

The last legislature appropriated the
sum of $500 for construction of fire.
proof ceiling and other improvements,
including sewerage, of the building.
Bids wens invited by publication, and
the contract awarded to Gus Wilke, the
lowest bidder, at $6,66495. This included
a fire-proof ceiling, with change in mode
of supporting the roof, a connection with
the state sewer at point northeast of the
new capitol, and the placing of one water
closet and one urinal on the second floor,
two water closets on the first floor, and
four water closets and one urinal in out
building, all connected by wrought iron
pipes with the sewer. The work was all
done promptly and well, and would sug-
gest its inspection by the proper com
mittee. The water closets were selected
by me, upon advice of experts in such
matters, but have not proved satisfactory.
In these the pressure of water comes d.
rect upon the valves, and either constant
repairs are demanded or a leakage re-
suits. With a change, to supply the water
from a reservoir, and thus secure uniform
pressure, the difficulty would be obviated,
and the building be complete and safe in
ternally. The outside of the building and
the Enclosure speak for themselves. A new
fence and coat of stucco for the build
ing must be provided.
