the Cost OF the State House.

the Cost OF the State House.
Kansas Newspaper Union.
Will F. Cavanagh. assistant secre-
tary of state, has figured out pretty
closely the cost of the state house,
and the result shows that of the total
sum to be expended there remains
about three-quarters of million to
go on. Mr.. Cavanagh figured up the
original cost of the east wing some
years ago, and while he has not the
exact figures at hand he places it in
round numbers at $4SO,OOO. In his
present undertaking he kept the de-
tails all classified and covered several
pages with them, of which only the
totals are here given. They are as
lows:
For central building. ........... IS 5l7.311 Us
For west wing. .......... Sl2,s5I.t5
For east wing (original cost 4SO.OO.O
FOR repairs I'd east Wing tSehate

Paid in salaries to architect. super
intendent. ETC.. since April. 1876. ID s>8.S3
Total 49,. ....................$1 81. 46s,,577t3
These figures have been prepared
with great care and may be relied up
on as correct, SO they are worth keep
ing in mind.

IT bitches and fences to put tn,
riders on their mettle. The dogs are
to be he hest known dogs in Virgil
ia and North Carolina. The Mead

Fer Secretary 81 the Interior.
The Reno Gazette has the follow.
ing: A lsvadan in the East
writes q resident OF this town that
there is being considerable pressure
brought on Senator Stewart to re-
sign his seat in the upper House
OF Congress and accept the Cabinet
Office Of Secretary Of Interior, under
President-elect Harrison, provided
the appointment il rendered him.
He says the pressure is being
brought on the Senator by repre-
sentative Pacific Coast men, who
feel assured that this section Of the
Union will be recognized by Mr..
Harrison in the selection of his
Cabinet, and also that Messrs. De
Young. Swift, Estee and others
prominently spoken OF for the
honor will gladly step aside and do
all in their power for Nevada's
faithful servant in the matter.
The Senator the writer adds, hs
stated positively his preference to
remain where he is and accomplish
certain work in behalf o. his con-
stituency and the coast at large.
But the question arises, could he
not, rs Secretary Of the Interior, do
equally Is much, if not more, for
Nevada and the Coast, and at the
end of his term, a. such an official
be returned to the Senate should he
so desire. As matters look new,
Senator Allison will be our next
Secretary Of the Treasury, and,
with Senator Stewart a. Secretary
of the Interior, what more could
the Pacific Coast desire?
