session to-day until the bills are en-
rolled and then finally adjourn.
St Paul, April 22.-Yesterday, the
closing day Of the legislative session,
was much like others Of it's class. The
legislature, having worked until 5 a.
M in passing bills the night before,
was little late in Assem- bling, and the
members came in with a weary air
Resolutions could be passed, but no
bills, and the only business was to kill
time until the enrolling clerks could
get the bills enrolled which passed dur
ing the night. as they must be signed
by the lieutenant governor and speak
err, and those funct1onaries cannot sign
after the session ends.
There were the usual resolutions of
thanks to officers and employees and
also the usual ones giving little extra
pay here and little there to some en-
ploye. These usually pass the last
day, but yesterday was an exception
and nearly all were killed. Speaker
Jones was prese nted with large pho
tographic group of the house, which
he accepted with cordial thanks. The
governor reported that he had nothing
further to say and both houses ad-
jourued sine die before p. ID.
It seems the department store con-
st1tutional amendment was not stolen
after all It got folded inside another
bill and was on the secretary's desk all
the time.

The State Fair.

The premium list of the state fair
has been revised with generous hand,
and the offers made are more liberal
and comprehensive than any hereto
fore announced by the society. The
large amounts offered for horses in
other years are repeated, with addi-
tional classes and prizes for harness
and saddle horses. Additional classes
have been opened for cattle, increasing
the competition among breeders, and
the general interest in the department.
The usual large offers are made for
sheep, swine and poultry, with some
additions. The amount offered for
creamery butter has been increased
frym $40 to $3.50, while other liberal
offers of year ago in the dairy depart
ment are repeated Premiums for farm
and orchard products are also largely
increased, thus giving new impetus to
the exhibition Of dairy, agricultural
and horticultural products. The ma
chinery, honey, forestry and mineral
exhibits will each be in greater prom
inence than in other years. The
woman's department. will be made I'M
usually attractive, and the main build
ing will be filed with wonderful
profusion of miscellaneous exhibits.
The sum of 81, 200 is offered for county

An Inventory.

An Inventory.
The inventory of the property at the
state institutions, not including the
university, is given by Secretary Hart,
of the state board of Correction and
Charities, at SIS, 1877 i7 This includes
the fixed movable property. The land
is worth S175, 904 and the buildings and
the buildings and fixtures foot up
81. 327,411. Owing to the decrease in
values, this is smaller than in 1894,
when it was 81, 500, $50. Iu 1892 it was
81, O1O 900; in 1880, 50, 33332 600, and in
1888, the first year of the inventory,
So. sos, 900.
The average value per inmate is 1914.
At the three insane asylums the aver
age is as follows: Rochester, $646: St.
Peter, 1919: Fergus Falls, $3.50 The
Fergus Falls asylum is of fire proof
construction, and the buildings at st.
Peter are built of cut stone, while
those at Rochester are of brick.
The most expensive place per inmate
IS the reformatory at St. Cloud, where
it average, $2,O6S. This is due to the
fact that buildings are Tot constructed
with the idea Of economy of space.
There is really much more room for
the inmates than there are provisions
allowed.
