The new banking law enables the
Commissioner to weed out unsafe and
unreliable banks and compel others
to improve their condition to the extent
that they shall become safer repositories

law provides additional safeguards for
county money deposited in banks.
The public utilities bill provides that
municipalities may bond themselves to
purchase light, water and transportation
plants. It means municipal ownership
Of public utilities. Several cities are
ready now to begin operations at an
early date. lola is very likely to avail
itself Of the provisions of the bill and
buy and own the natural gas properties
which are accomplishing so much in
the way OF building up that city. This
bill will do as much or more than any
other to put Populist ideas in actual
practice.
The lsboring man is not forgotten. A
bill to prevent blacklistlng was passed.

discriminating against labor organiza-
tions. Street railway companies are

The Legislature AdlOurns.

The Legislature adjourned sine die
Saturday morning at IL o'clock. ALI
business had been suspended early in
the week. All of the bills passed had
been reported on by the Governor, but
the school book bill was still in an un.
finished condition. 1t provided that
the commission should be named by
the Governor and confirmed by the
Senate. Owing to delay in agreeing on
il, it was impossible to publish it in
the official paper, which is a weekly,
in Its issue of week before last. AC.
cordingly the Legislature was held to-
gether by few members who took q
recess from day to day until Friday,
when the publication was made and
the law went into effect. 1t had been
agreed that a sufficient number of Sem
stOrs to make a quorum would return
on that day for the purpose of con-
firming the Governors appointments.
The appointments were as follows:
S. V. Jewett (Pop,) Superintendent of
the Abilene schools; w, J. Hurd Pop
of Holton; A. H. Lupfer (POp., Sena-
tor from the Thirty eighth district; s,
1. Hale (Dem.), lawyer, Of Lacrosse;

of the Pittsburg schools; S. M. Leis
Dem.), a teacher at Independence; D..
o. McCrsy (Rep.), newspaper man of
Topeka, and John Macdonald of To.
peka, editor of the Western School
Journal. The first six were confirmed,
The vote on McCrsy was tie, and

of Macdonald, but no action was
taken, so that only six Of the eight

Recent Washington correspondence

ardinner the other evening, and when
the cigars were handed round the
after dinner talk turned on hard
times. The guests who represented
various sections Of the country, each
had something*t relate about hard
times in past years. The host de-
clared, however, that lie could break
the record, and said: "Whcn you
people, talk about hard times now, in
these days you forget all about 1851.
Money WAS not only as scarce rs hens
teeth, but there was no money in
crculation-none to be had anywhere.
Along the Chippewa Black, Missis-
sippi'and other rivers saWlogs were
legal tender. In fact, everything that
possessed any SORT Of value passed as
token money. Up in northern Wis
consin copper was mined, and copper
cents were minted;and issued by pri-
waite individuals. The general store
keepers issued their own scrip, and
it passed for money. I have seen a
ten cent postage stamp, incased in
mica, passing for money many IL
time. We had then in that region
every kind Of token money except
wamD1tm. We did not get that far
back to the primitive medium Of cx-
change" This was all very we'll for a
true story, But one of the guests,
not to be outdone by the host, said
he had a story nearly as old, dating
back to 1854 though not strictly in
the line Of hard times. II don't t

some remark about the COW. II he

to cross over to Kansas. But Ii he

An Invitation to Attend, q St. Patrick
Day Ball.


Judge Woody has in his possession
an interesting relic in the shape Of an
Invitation to a St. Patrick S day ball
that was held in Missoula March II,
1871. The iinvitiaton is neatly
printed in green ink and bears the
imprint Of the "Missoula Pioneer
office. The ball was a grand affair
and was spatronizcd by prominent
citizens from all parts of the state.
The price OF tickets was s5, rather a
staggerer in these days, but Judge
Woody says that they thought then
that the charge was light, as they
had been paying $7.55 and $40 for
similar events in preceding years.
The text Of the invitation is as fol-
