STATE CAPITAL TALK.

Gov. Sheldon has vetoed bill No. 76,
providing that the state shall pay for all
state witnesses except in criminal cases.
The ground of the veto was the failure
of the measure to carry an appr"prla-
ton with it, and also an implication that
the state should pay for all civil actions
brought about by the counties.
The house adopted senate bill No: Ii,
the census bill, without the house
amendments, with al appropriation OF
$500.
A resolution was passed, requiring the
Taylor committee TO print its report.
MI. Wheeler of the committee on rail-
roads reported his bill No. l, the great
railroad bill fayorably being the OILY
one OF the committee TO endorse the re-
port. The house has killed the bill by a
vote Of b to IS, many men. ers'dodging
the vote.
The Taylor investigating committee
have had John E. Diamond, late nation
al bank examiner on the stand. Mr.
Diamond had incidentally. limited that he
could tell a whole lot OF sensational
matter about the Taylor business, so he
was sent for, but it transpired that bis
information consisted in suggesting that

committee had done so and had found

Pettigrew owed Taylor 5000 and thai

the default was known he paid the sun

A Highly Conventional Social Visit by .
Party of Indians.
Some years ago three young men were
camping in TIE Sierra Nevada noun
tains, killing deer, fishing and cooking
delectable food. One day it happened
that enc Of them had twisted his ankle,
and the others went hunting without
him. As he could not move about he
was naturally somewhat bored, and aft
er reading awhile in the shade of q tree
he fell asleep. Thus he tells what fol-
lowed:
woke up with n start and the feel
pen. Something had happened. Fifteen
Indians sat in q half circle about Inc,
waiting for me to stir.
They had fixed upon me their . pairs
Of black, beady eyes, and not one of
them moved \ muscle All of them had
guns, and, what was more important,
each had presumably two sound legs,
whereas Twas handicapped by my lame
ness.
looked at them, and they continued
looking at me. A lightning express Of
speculation ran through my head. 1 re-
Inembered that the deputy sheriff of the
nearest settlement had lately shot an
Indian by accident and that the tribe
had sworn to have his scalp. Did look
like the deputy sheriff: Was it my scalp
they wanted?
Their eyes never wandered, but mine
did, for could not help CHANGING ut my
gun, at least 10 feet away, and mt the
spot where Il big Indian sat composedly
on my cartridges. Finally one buck
made remark.
"Fishhook:" said he
NO." said l. mo fishkook.''
Silence again for Is minutes Then
another indicated by glance n piece of
venison hung up in a tree and grunted
his approval of it. I nodded, and he
rose, solemnly took it down and laid it
Oh the ground beside him.
A little, boyish fellow, with eyes
more restless than those Of the others,
removed his gaze from me to greasy
piece of red flannel beside me, with
which one of our men had been clean
ing his gun. took it up and held it
cut to him, and he accepted it with out
ward composure and, have no doubt,
inward rapture. Then we had another
period Of silent reflection, and they
rose, stallled solemnly away to their
horses tethered in neighboring grove
and rode Off. They had made me a
highly conventional social visit. -
