legislature to cut their salaries in the
middle. The legislature will adjourn
in few days and not one Of them has
made any such request of that body
yet. Hurry up, boys, or you will have

the management Of the Bartell house
which proved to be q very low grade Of

they were crowded, but there could b
no excuse for the execrable dining

was served warm was the ice water
All this could have been bettered had
there been any management wortt
