WINANS' LAST MESSAGE.
Synopsis of His Final Communication to
the Legislature.


Governor Winans' last message was
then read. He says the financial con-
dltion of the state is excellent. The
treasurer has reported large amount
of money on hand, and as there is no
bonded debt, there should be no ex-
cessive taxation. The constitution
provides that specific taxes should
either pay interest on the bonded debt
or apply to the primary school fund.
The amounts to 81 ,000, 900 annually.
All of the state institutions are In a
prosperous condition, to each of which
he refers at length. Governor Winans
particularly recommends that the
state add 10 her list of charities n home
for the feeble-mlnded. In speaking of
the Jackson prison he says:
"The most important of our penal
institutions Is the state prison at jack
son. The position Of warden is a very
responsible one. because of the charsc-
ter of the inmates and the magnitude
of the interests under his supervision.
The state is fortunate IN the present
incumbent, whose Administration has
been marked success. IN the past
two years, for the first time IN It's his

expenses. and in add ition has earned

DETROIT, Jan. 5.-Tnere never has

exemplited more clearly the danger Of

Of q motion for new trial
were filed with Clerk Lesher to-
day by George +. Robson, attorney for
the defendant, from which 1t appears
that Bossenberger IS innocent aud that
Otto SchultheIs, q young man 81 years
of age, Is guilty. The fact that Bos-
senberger was unjustly convicted OF 50

than the means by whlcE.hIs innocence

is food for moralists to digest for

to death. 1t was done with my knife,
which took from my pocket. Schulz
theirs describes how the family were

and raised row. Finally he
chased William Raelhz down the street.
The balance of the singers followed

and attempted to catch q young man,

beating him over the head with rock.

Knack on the arm, dropping the knife.
Later the boy sent his cunt back to find
the weapon which was given to Edward

meeting. and the committee on right
of way reported that fourteen Ut of
