The Governor Appealed to.

The State journal of Saturday says:
Thirteen students from the State
School for the blind at GAINESVILLE are in
town this afternoon for the purpose of
asking the governor to use his influence
to have Ii. E. Bliss, of GAINESVILLE, reap
pointed as superintendent of the school.
The delegation, while not sent by the
school, is here to voice the sentiments of
the Ito students at present studying
there.
Mr.. Bliss has been for six years super
intendent of the school and the board of
control recently refused to reappoint
him on the grounds that they wished a
practical educator. One of the students
here today said that the whole school
was for the retention of Bliss, as he is a
business manager and hires the educa-
tors, he helps the boys to become self
supporting and is popular. The ID stu
dents who came up compose the band of
the school and they brought their instru-
ments with them so as to serenade Gov.
LaFollette.
Gov LaFollette met the delegation at
$50, but could give them no encourage
ment as to Bliss being again placed in
charge of the school,"

FEW cities in the word, it is said, af-
ford such ample hotel accommodations
as New York city. But, for all that,
there are at the present time twenty-five
new hotels either under construction or
planned at an average cost of S1,000,00O
The reason for this remarkable extension
of hotel facilities is said to be because
housekeeping is every day becoming a
more intricate problem through the
servant question and from other causes,
and people are in consequence, taking to
hotel life instead. Another reason given
is that the influx of strangers has been
increasing very rapidly in recent years,
and more hotels are required to accom-
modate it. There is, perhaps, an undue
number of high-priced hotels now,
while those where more moderate prices
are charged are needed. All these rea-
sons have resulted in this unusual new
hotel DEVELOPMENT.

A Few Words of Caution.

A way to test swindling scheme is to
offer a non-negotiable note; when the
time comes for signing mark out the
words "order or bearer" which is always
written after the name of the party to
whom the note is given. Make the note
payable to him alone. That saves your
right. If the note is given in lieu of
contract which the other parties offer
just write at the head of the signature
''The payment of this note is made con-
ditional upon the performance of a GER
tain contract for which it is given" AL
ways remember that no difference what
oral contract you have it will have moth
ing to do with the payment of the note
unless it appears on the face of the note.

If everybody wants Col. Spooner in
the United States senate, we believe he
will forego every possible personal con-
stituency. If, on the other hand, his
pathway is to be beset by envious and
malevolent haters who would turn the
great office he holds into bone of con-
tention, we are satisfied Col. Spooner
will have none of it. He has made too
great and too valuable public servant
to be forced to scramble for reelection.
His stewardship has been such that the
republicans of Wisconsin should rise 81
simultaneously as one man and keep him
where he is for six years more from

OIL has been struck in the state of
Louisiana and big gusher is now run
ming few miles west of New Orleans.
Another find has been made in Tennes-
see, not far from the Kentucky line,
making the second in that section. The
prospect is that the Standard Oil COM
pany will not have it's own way in the flu
ture as in the past as these new finds,
including the great wells in Texas will
be worked by independent companies,
with millions behind them. The old
company may try to buy them up but
chances are against such result.
Whether there is any room for hope that
prices will come down nobody can tell.

Budget.

The origin of the word budget"
meaning an estimate of government
revenues and expenses, is thus explain
ed:
Almost from time immemorial it was
the custom in England to put the esti-
mates of receipts and expenditures pre-
sented to parliament in a leather bag,
the word budget being thus borrowed
from the old Norman word bougette,
which signifies leather purse. Curl
Ously enough, the word has passed back
again into France from England.-New
