Good Financiering Needed.
The state at present has funds to pay
the expenses Of the legislative assembly
and the current expenses Of the state gov
eminent, but those who think there are
funds to be literally appropriated will be
disllusioned if they will refer to the mes
sage of the governor, which places the to-
tai of receipts from all sources for the
ensuing two years for the general fund
at $l;l27 900, and the estimate Of the
standing appropriations now existing for
the two years at $727O5o. This leaves
less than half a million dollars to be ap-
propriated for the insane asylum, the state
pen1tentiary, industrial school, reform
school, institute for the feeble minded,
and the miscellaneous appropria lions
which the legislative assembly NAV feel
called upon to make, including the appro-
priation for the st. Louis exposition ex
hibit. and the various other minor appro-
pr1atlons, which aggregate goodly sum
1t Will require close figuring to make re-
ceipts meet expenses for the two wears
and keep within the limit Of the states
available funds.

effort to pass bill making four members
OF the state board of pardons a quorum

until Feb. 3, before the officers Of the tw,
houses signed the bill so that it canno
go to the governor for approval unit
Tuesday at the earliest. The meeting Of III.
board of pardons will have to be ad
lourned from Monday until such time a.
the Dill is approved by the governor
