months of Governor Waterman's, and the
first six months of his own administra-

month of December, 1894. BY reason of
this law he received during his first SIX

term, $15, 1S7 ,175 rs.
Since my first fiscal year the amount
of the tax levy bill for the General Fund
has been smaller than for any year since
the forty-third fiscal year. The causes OF
the smallness of that years fund are
stated in the Controllers report OF lSsz.
The attempt to make the tax levy Dill Tor

wears low was followed by consequences
which might have been foreseen, l. e.,
that the General Fund in 1892 and 1898 was
overdraWn and exhausted to the extent
of 81 81 ,1l3 90, condition commences eoi on
by the Controller in his report of 1894 as
most deplorable and leaving the creditors
of the State to hawk their warrants on
the public streets. (See Controller let

Thus, with more institutions and more
inmates, the general cost to the State has
been much less than during the former
administrations.
The laws of this State make the Con-
troller its bookkeeper and the superin-
tendent OF its finances. His functions
ana responsibilities are greater than those
OF any other officer, the Governor eX-
cepted, and his recommendations are en-
uIled TO the most profound consideration.
1t is largely because of the lack of con-
slderation given to the recommendations
OF controllers that the affairs of this
state, during the eight years preceding
TINS administration, became so tangled
general fund so great. While the State
mas now been established on a cash basis
ana there is a very large sum in the gen
eral fund, 1t may be easily dissipated if
the present legislators disregard the Con-
trollers recommendations To show to
what extent his estimate of the expenses
or the government has been ignored, l

Inc liberality of the Legislature is ap-

recognizable unanimity with which the

In the name of the State I desire to
publicly thank Mrs. Phebe Hearst Missi
Jennie Flood, Louis Sloss, the Alaska Seal
Company and others for their munifcent
gifts to this great institution during my
administration.
Our Normal Schools.
Our normal work has greatly improved
under the new laws. Each institution is
better and stronger than ever before, and
its attendance much larger. The presi-
dents all commend the new law, which
has enabled them to work in so much
unison and to such great advantage. I
cannot better express my opinion on this
subject than in the language of the re-
ports herewith transmitted.
The State Prisons.
For the reasons stated In my biennial.
the State prisons should be consolidated.
The Legislature should close San Quen-
tin, enlarge Folsom and turn one of our
reform schools into a prison for first
termers. In any event, one of our reform
schools should be turned into a prison for
frst-termers, work given. to fit them for
honest employment, and 10 per cent of
their earnings laid aside with which to
start in life when their terms have ex-
pired.

HIGH PRAISE GIVL-.

Of the Thirteenth Minnesota.


OF Thirteenth Minnesota
ST. PAUL, July 19.-The most inter
esting report which has yet been re
ceived from the Thirteenth Minnesota
has reached Adjutant General Lam bert
Major General Lawton on May 20. or
dered the second and third battalion OF
the regiment to return with Colonel
Summers Of the Oregon volunteers 70
Calumpit. and in concluding the order
General Lawton says:
The commanding general in relieving
this regiment desires to express his APP
probation of the efficiency, courage and
accomplishing endurance constantly
shown by its officers and men while on
this expedition.
A report by Major Nasterman. who
commanded the regiment from May $
to May 26. while it was operating with
General Lawton's flying column, shows
that it was on the road 80 days. cover.
ing a distance Of 1872 miles. and that
during that time it participated IN %
engagements. During the trip the SOL
diers experienced bad roads and very
hot weather. but while the strain was
severe, the boys were more than equal
to the occasion, and did their duty
without complaint. The regiment was
complimented in the field both by Gen.
eral Lawton and by Colonel Summers.
The health Of the regiment was good
and the sick list small.

THE PROFESSORS PRIZE.
1t Was Something He Could Beat,
but 1t Got the Best of Him,

AC NOU4U 0c0US
but 1t Got the Best of Him,
One evening last winter one Of Adel-
berts popular professors attended a
social function where the guests play
ed progressive pedro. a game in which
the worthy educator lays no claim to
being an expert. In fact, on the pres
ent occasion he was credited with but
TWO prOgreSsiOnS, a score of really as
tonlshlng smallness. Naturally, what
Is termed the 'booby price fell to him,
and this time it took the form of a
double yolk egg, with the following
sarcastic legend attached:
something you can beat"
The professor smilingly accepted the
reward, and after it IA passed around
and joked upon he finally slipped it
into the side pocket Of his overcoat
and then st%raightway forgot it's exist
ence.
When the party broke up he accom-
panied two young ladies to their
home. When they reached the house
and the latchkey was produced and
used. it was found that the front door
was locked SO tightly that it refused
to yield to ordinary pressure. So the
professor put his hip against a panel
and pushed hard.
There was a dull crash, a mild yell.
the professor leaped in the air and
convulsively clutched at his side.
The double yolk had exploded!
A moment later the afflicted educator
gingerly drew from his pocket a pair
OF exceedingly yellow gloves, followed
by a muller Of the same gaudy tint.
And the ladies leaned against the rail-
ing and laughed until they cried.
or course they promised not to tell,
but in some unfathomed way the story
like the egg-leaked out.-Cleveland
