The Board met and organized May 18th,
in the prosecution Of their duties: They

The board has recently received competi.

in the selection Of one to be adopted Tor

been reached.
In the crowded condition of the present
state house the board Of railroad and ware
house commissioners the board OF health
and other departments Of the state govern

from the building, while many Of the other
departments are greatly hampered for for want

the state will have still further expanded,
and the present building will have become
still more inadequate for the requirements
of the state. -. ..
The work Of constructing a new capitol
has been entered upon at time when
both labor and material are exceptionally
low priced, and hence the building can be
erected at less cost to the state now than
under former conditions. I regard the en-
terprise as a necessary undertaking ana

igation Resulting From the Same.
Pursuant to resolution of the legisla-
ture Of 1898, a committee Of three sena-
tors and six representatives was appointed
to Investigate unlawful combinations among
producers, carriers and dealers, enhancing
the price of coal to the consumer. The
committee, in proceeding with the work Of
Investigation, through Its agents, obtained
the possession of certain books and papers
Of J. J. Rhodes, q coal dealer and the
alleged manager Of an organization of coal
dealers, without his consent and against
his protest. Mr.. Rhodes thereup0n insti-
tuted an action against the committee and
it's agents to recover $4,000 damages for
the taking and detention of the books and
papers. The legislature thereupon passed
an act appropriating $4,000 to pay the ex-
penses OF such litigation and to pay any
