The late Augustus II Garland, who
was attorney general under President
Cleveland, was very fond of practical
jokes and during his term of service in
the senate frequently turned the laugh
on his colleagues. Senators Voorhees,
and Vest, with whom he was very
friendly. finally determined to turn the
tables Mr.. Garland had habit, like
voorhees,, of munching candy, and Vest
and voorhees, made it up between them
to take advantage of his fondness for
sweets to play their trick They had
some tempting looking chocolate cara
mels prepared. with the interior filled
with brown soap. These they took To
the senate chamber and voorhees, plac, d

THUS GOES THE STATE CASH

And not all of the state institutions

but the university, the Agricultural
college, the School of Mines and
other institutions were not among

appropriation bill take nearly half
million of the states funds for
charitable and penal institutions.
1t is rumored about the gov
enor's office that he will make a
wholesale slaughter when he gets
down to the appropriation bills for
roads and bridges. The hopes of
many senators and representatives
of reelection two years hence, or
election to some county office on
their work III the Twelfth general
assembly may be blasted by few
strokes of the executive pen. How
ever, it is all rumor, based only on
the fact that the governor has thus
far withheld the bulk of the bills.
while others were signed. Few of
the desired monuments to political
careers promise to be erected in
the several counties of the state

any one may have by writing to Wash
