Undertakers Too Busy to Report.
BOSTON. Jan. 9.-There was a very
considerable falling off in the number of
deaths reported to the board of health
up to l o'clock Wednesday,, over the
number received at the same hour Tues

been able to report the deaths.

Governor Mellette's Message.
PIERRE, S. D., Jan. S.-Little or moth
ing was done by the legislature except
to elect a few minor offices and perfect
the organization. The senate did not
convene until afternoon, and then the
two houses met in joint session to hear
the governors message read. 1t is a
lengthy document, and referred in o n
else terms to nearly, every proposition
now before the people of the state. 1t
of statehood at S172, 9O5. 92. To meet
emergency it is recommended, first to
annul all appropriations made by terri
torial legislatures and cover into the
general fund all unexpended balances
remaining to eachaccount on the LIST day
Of January, 1890, then to ascertain, as
near as may be, the floating Indebtedness
of the state and liquidate by the issue of
bonds, and proceed to make a levy dur
ing the current year, and also
during the ensuing year, for the
ordinary expenses. Then it is advised
to take a list of estimated expenses and
provide first, for those actually indispen-
sable under careful and economical
management, and to divide the remain
ing sum available among the other pub
lie institutions and administrative de-
partments so as best to conserve public
interests, in no event permitting a def
cheney over the 500, 900 allowed by the
constitution. The governor suggests
that a decided reduction of expenditures
for state educational institutions can be
safely made. He recommends
COMPLETE REVISION
Of the common school system and adj
vises compulsory acceptance of the adj
vantages offered. Steps should be taken
to secure uniformity of textbooks. The
present rate of interest should be low
cred. In dealing with the railroads he
urges the adoption of a broad and liberal
policy, as the prosperity of the country
depends largely upon the completeness
of the roailroad system.
The board of railroad commissioners
should be continued and its sphere of
usefulness enlarged. In addition a COM
missioner of insurance, banks and loans,
and a commissioner of labor should be
provided for by the legislature, and the
election placed with the people. 1t is
recommended that wages be made a first
lien upon property; that penalties suita-
BILE and adequate be provided for the
enforcement of the prohibition law;
that irrigation he encouraged;
that the present representation in
the legislature be materially re.
duced in the interest of economy;
that the office of commissioner of immi.
grafton be equipped with funds to con-
tinue its good work. After the reading
of the message was completed both
branches of the legislature adjourned.
