There is some possibility of an extra
session of the Senate within the next fort
night. The matter will be definitely set
tied by a conference of the Governor,
State Comptroller and State Treasurer to-
day. The calling of an extra session of
the Legislature is an unusual occurrence,
and it has been many years since such a
session was held. At the conference to-
day, it will be decided whether an extra
session would be practicable for the relief
Of the State Prison. The Governor visit
ed the institution last Wednesday and
went carefully over all the building for
the purpose of confirming the reports that
he had received that the prison was over
crowded, and the authorities SO hampered
for the want of room that the institution
was not run as well nor as economically as
it should be. The Governor left satisfied
that something must be done at once. and
the only thing that he can do is to avail
himself of the law of 1890, which makes
two appropriations for the benefit of the
prison. The sum of 100000 is appropri-
ated for a new wing and SIC, 900 for new
hospital, and the whole sum to be ex-
pended under the direction of COM
mission of three competent persons,
appointed by the Governor and COM
frmed by the Senate. The extra ses-
sion of the Senate is therefore necessary
to confirm these commissioners. Cover
nor Werts was surprised at the condition
of the institution, and decided that some
thing must be done at once, and the best
thing to do is to operate under the law
of 1890, and call all extra session of the
Senate. 1t would only take an hour to
do the business. The state has not the
available money at present, but would
have by the time the plans and specif-
cations are pr epared.

Walter Cottrell, who has been confined
to the house with neuralgia, is again at
tending to business.
George L. shinn, our genial dry goods
merchant, has been brought to the front
by his friends, as a candidate for County
Collector to succeed Eugene Crammer,
whose term expires this fall. George is
quite modest, and not until his friends in
every section of the county urged him to
enter the race did he consent to
have his name presented to the
convention in the fall. If party service is
to be rewarded, George should receive the
unanimous nomination, as it was largely
due to his influence and efforts that the
Republican party was organized for the
battles of the fall of 1892 and spring OF
1898. George is good organizer and a
sound business man.
The Fourth of July celebration, although
not quite as we'll attended as that of last
year, was success from financial stand
point. The M. E. Church and Knights OF
Golden Eagle each netted about 500. The

ness interest of the place, was a success.

Thompson Bros. butchers, and G. Frank
Moore, basket maker, were well arranged.
The speaking by Rev. D. G. Cobb and
Rev. W. R. Wedderspoon was greatly ap-
preciated by the audience. The Obrey
family did not come up to expectations.
About 1900 to 1000 people passed the
gates, and there were about 1000 people in
town, making total of about $500 to
5000 people in the village. The commit
tee deserves great credit for its manage
ment of the affair, having overcome all
obstacles and making the affair success.

Hon. James Bryce. of England. in an ar
ticle in the July Forum. mentions the cit
izen who refuses to vote as one of the Sc
rious dangers menacing American institu-
tions. 1t is unhappily the case. He truly
says that it is the respectable, well-mean-
ing, easy going citizen. as well as the
merely ignorant citizen, who is apt to be
listless. Those who have their private
ends to serve, their axes to grind and logs
to roll, are not indolent. Private interest
spurs them on and if the so-called ''good
citizen" who has no desire or aim except
for good government which benefits him
no more than every one else, does not be-
stir himself, the pubic funds may become
the plumber, and the public interests the
sport of INSCRIPTIONS adventures. Laws
will have to be enacted imposing some
penalty or disability for failure to vote as
the cure for this evil.

THE LIoN's TAsTE.-Mr. Sc
lous, having spent twenty-one years
in Africa, has lately returned to
London from Mashonaland. Mr..
Selous confessed that he had killed
100 elephants aud 25 lions. His
best lion story was about mail
carrier in Mashonaland. The man
in question was riding one horse
and leading another (Which carried
the maii when the lion made it's
appearance and its spring. The
latter demOralized the mail COM
pletely. One horse was bowled
over. the other broke away without
its rider and the mail carrier very
naturally lost all interest in the
mail.
The lion did not succeed in de-
tanning either of the horses (they
turned up next day at the fort, one
very badly wounded, and without
the mail bags). so he returned to
the unfortunate carrier. Him the
lion freed. and then sat down al
the foot of the tree to await devel.

rier they did not develop entirel,
as the lion could have wished, fol
the next day caravan passed. and
the lion stalked away into the bush
doubtless with an increased con
tempt for the refinements of civil
cation. The mail bags were not
found for months afterward.

INCENDIARY's PUNISHMENT IN
JAPAN.-The incendiary's lot in
japan, according to the Standard
is not happy one. When caught
he is at once handed over to the ex-
ecutiOner. BY this official the cul-
prit is buried in the ground up to
his neck. A cross-cut saw is laid
on the ground close by ready~for
use, and then the executioner goes
away for a few days on other duties.
During the interval any passer-by
is at liberty to assist the execution
er in his duties by taking few cuts
with the saw across the prisoners
neck. When the executioner re-
turns, If there is any necessity for
1t, he leisnrely completes the task
by saving the mans neck from his
shoulders. 1t is then fastened TO
a pole and placed on exhibition in
the neighboring village or town.
The custom, it is claimed, is calcu-
lated greatly to discourage the prac-
tice of setting property afire.
