The district court has been busy for the past
three days with the case OF the Hamilton
Brown Shoe company against Milliken, which
is an action Of replevin to recover goods
sold by plaintiff to the late Goldgraber Dry
Goods company. The evidence introduced
by the plaintiff shows a somewhat peculiar

December, 1894 large quantities OF goods
were shipped out in trunks, and the empty
boxes placed on the shelves and when the
inventory of the goods was taken the APP

he enrolment of pupils for the blenniun

The enrolment Of pupils for the biennium
was eighty-six, which. with the siXty-three
in the school at the time superintendent
Jones assumed charge makes the present
number of inmates under tuition, 149. Prof.
Jones says Notwithstanding the fact that
the appropriations for the maintenance OF
this institution for the biennium of 1895 to
1897 we're SO 900 less than for the previous
biennium OF lS93-lS95. 1t Is confidently eX-
pected that there will be no deficiency in
these funds. The Legislature of 1894 APP
propriated 5000 for living expenses, fuel
and light and employees wages, while the
appropriations by the legislature OF 1894
95 for these funds amounted to but $50 ,OOO
or 50, 900 less. The last legislature appro-
priated $4,000 for the erection and furnish
ing of a new west wing and this building
was completed the LIST of January, 1896.
at Is hoped that by the exercise OF the
utmost economy no deficiency will be in
Cured In the fund for fuel and lights, but 1t
Is imperative that a larger appropriation be
made for the ensuing biennium, and $4,000
will probably be required. An appropriation
Is needed to properly furnish the new wing,
and $500 is estimated for this purpose. The
only deficiency thus far created Is for re-
pairs The board OF trustees entered into
a contract with Hamilton Bros. for putting
on a new slate roof and other repairs to the
old building amounting to sl,465.43, on
which there has been paid the sum Of
