GENTLEMEN:
ha the honor to submit to you the Snperin-
tende nt s report of the Poor House and Asylum
for the fiscal year, with the State-ending
September 5Oth, 1891.
The year Just closed has been one OF health
and comfort to the patients, and prosperity to
the countv-being free from any destruction by
fire, storm or accident, all patients physically
able enjoying the greatest possible personal lib
erty. ana seldom one straying beyond the limits
of the farm without permission. w bile their men
tai afflictor enlists sympathy, yet to one so
closely associated with them, as the Superinten-
dent necessarily must be, they seem to get as
much enjoyment ont of life as the average sane
man who is obliged to labor and economist to
meet the tax collectors demand and make his
daily bread Their mental affection is not OF that
nature that wea's on the physical as shown by
! their wears being far in advance Of there APP
parent age-many in advanced life having the
/ appearance OF middle age, not q few in middle
| age having the vigor and bloom Of youth.
There were three deaths during the year, two
! Of which were from hereditary consumption.
Your thoughtful kindness in supplying the
patients with papers rom the several COUNTIES
In behalf OF the reading population on the
Comfy Farm, we thank The Editors Teller, the
Dial and the Record for free copies OF their
papers, whose weekly issues are eagerly looked
for and highly appreciated
The new Improvements made DUNG the year,
are highly appreciated, both by patients ana
employees.
The sinks placed in the kitchen fer washing

as in comfort and convience IN maintaining 8

tle matter had been properly sub

Foley held that if the Legisla
ture wanted to obey the will of
people they had the opportunity.
He was in Eureka county and saw
the ballots voted there. They
read "For Constitutional Con
vention." He did not believe that
a county officer could annul the
will of the voters by clerical err
ors. There would be no great eX-
pense in learning the truth; not
over 800, and the Senate had a
right to it.

The Opera COMPANY.

Corinne in Carmen drew q
crowded house last night, and the
company gave general and com
plete satisfaction. AS a dancer
Corinne is simply wonderful. and
music and stage effects delightful.
The audience had an opportun-
ity of judging the grace and aban-
don Of the modern dance as con
trasted with the ancient gymnastic
ballet, which has seen it's day. IF
Corinne only handled her face as
she does her legs, she would be
the grea'es of her kind. Mr..
Piper must have realized, when
he counted his receipts, that a
good show pays in Carson.

Senator Sawyer one of the tel
lers reported that lie found 6,309
votes for, and 3,277 votes against
the Constitution.
The total number ofvotes p il d
for the highest on the ticket w
reported bv the Secretery of st tie
as 12,409 and the majority of all
the votes cast must be 6205.
Over and above this was a ma
joTity of 105 or the Constitution.
Senator Williamson at empted
to figure in another way but was
called to order by the Chair,
Senator Hickey as one of tellers
refused to count any vote which
did not read for a constitutional
Convention. He reported 2847
votes for the Constitution.
Senator Conins rose to inquire
whether the Joint Committee re-
ported facts or fc ion. 1t looks
as if they had tried to smother or
cover up something,

Foley offered the following resulu-
ton:
Resolred, That the Clerks of
Eureka and Lyon counties to- and
they are hereby ordered to APP

P. NJ. on Wednesday the 18th day
OF Feb 1891, with the ballots cast
at the general election held on

respective counties, so that the
Senate can determine how the bal
lots cast in said counties appear
on the vote cast for and against
a Constitutional Convention, and
the expenses incurred by said off
GERS in coming to and returning
from their respectives counties be
paid out of the Legislative Fund;
and, it is further provided that if
this Senate finds that any error
occurs in reporting said vote that |
the said County Clerks shall pay |
their own expenses.
Sawyer got the floor and charg-
ed that the committee report sub
nitted the day previous, showed
an inclination TO report against
the Convention.
The rep prt stated that leading
attorneys hal held that the ques-
ion VS. not properly submitted
and made no mention tn It Gen.
Clarke hal appeared before the
committee and argued that it's
submission WAS perfectly legal.
He made a strong speech favor
ng the calling Of the Convention,
md argued against downing it by
petty technicalities, and urging
hat the people be not defrauded
If their suffrage because county
Jerks failed to fill out the blanks
u certain way.
The only question before the
people in the election was the call
ng of Convention. The mem
,ers of the Legislature had no OPP
ion; they must not consult their
OWN ideas; the will of the people
must be feeded. and they would
lot be hoodwinked.
Comins opposed the resolution
IN the ground that it opened the
ioor to unnecessary expense. If
he precedent was established, all
he county clerks in the State
would have to be sent for, and the
precinct officers would be called

THE PIONEER PRESS BUREAU OF

For the speedy and Economical Set.
item emt of all Valid Claims
Against the United States
GOVernm MT.

The enterprise and public spirit OF
the st. Paul Pioneer Press has never
been more forcib1y illustrated than
in the establishment Of what is
known as the " Pioneer Press Bureau
Of Claims with headquarters in St.
Paul and Washington, D. c., through
which claims Of all sorts against the
government may be pushed, at a
minimum OF expense, and a maxi
mum OF, expedition land economy.
Under the offer made by the Pioneer
Press, any person livingin Minnesota,
Wisconsin, North Dakota or Mon
tana having legal business OF any
kind requiring attentionat the seat
OF government can avail himself OF
these advantages. In order to rem
der it possible for the poorest Of
mankind to make an intelligent and
systematic effort to secure his just
dues from the government, whose
network OF official red tape so often
strangles deserving cases, the Pho
neer Press Bureau OF Claims pro-
poses to make no charge whateye,
for services unless successful in whole
or in part for it s effort, and in such
eases the fees will be more moderate
than was ever obtained for like work
in the past.
We are informed that in this enter
prise the Pioneer Press has asso-
ciated itself with those brilliant and
progressive type OF Western jour
nalism, the San Francisco Examiner
and the Omaha Bee. With the idea
of making it a national affair the en-
tire country is to he divided up be-
tween Il limited number of news
papers Of the highest class. A spe-
cial effort will be made to success
fully prosecute pensions, Indian de-
preda ton, land, patents, mining and
postal claims, and with the assur-
anccs offered by the well known
business, financial and political
standing, not only OF the Pioneer
Press, but it's associates in the new
enterprise, it is easy to see that the
| work will inurc to the benefit Ol
| hundreds and thousands of persons
who otherwise might be the victims
| OF the numberless sharks who make
the legal ways OF onr nation s capital
II terror to everyone having ca use to
venture therein.
