In demand for some time, but Secretary
of-state Thompson believed that his sup
ply was exhausted. Yesterday he was
looking for a place to store away some
documents and opened an old dust-cov-
cred chest stored away on the third
floor of the Capitol. He opened II and
found, TO his surprise and pleasure, 800
copies Of the much wanted Second Vol
ume. There are many people who
need the Code. and IT will be put on
sale. The cost OF these books is about
$3.50 each, so the find OF DR.. Thompson
amounts. in money value, to about $3.50.
The cost of the State Guard encamp-
ment this year will be about 5000. Bills
for over $4,000 have been sent in, and
there are still some outstanding accounts
not yet rendered.

make arrangements at the Catholic Or
phanage now in the course OF erection
