missioners wishes to announce that
through more generous appropria-
ton of the last legislature, it has
been possible to appoint a library

direction of the board in extending
library interests of the state. The
work of this organizer will be to
visit every county in the state for
the purpose of investigating library
conditions and getting, so far as
possible, correct statistics regard
ing school, township and free public
libraries, in order that the aid offer
ed by the state may be better under
stood and more generally accepted.
The organizer hopes to work with
the cooperation and under the
advice of the county commissioners
of schoolsin their respective coun.
ties, whose experience and familiar.
ity with conditions will aid greatly
in the work.

teachers Institutes, and demon
strate to the teachers the help which
is offered to them by the state
Travelling libraries will be exhibited
and explained, all attending expense

The apportionment OF state taxes
for the coming year, recently de.
termined by the auditor general and
forwarded to the county treasurers,
shows reduction Of more than one
hundred and thirty thousand dollars,
as compared with the total taxes OF
two years ago. The comparison is
made with two years ago because OF
the fact that the odd years Of appor-
tionments, directly following the
Legislative sessions, include the en-
tire expense OF the Legislative session
and many other items OF state ex-
p2nses not shared by the next year.
That an actual reduction should be
made in the expense of maintaining
our rapidly growing state institu-
tions, including unusual provisions
for their enlargement and improve
ment, is a showing for care and
economy on the part OF those re-
sponsible for such q result that is
worthy OF the highest credit.

President Lincoln. as commander-in-chief
of the Army of the United States.
Mr.. 0'Meara entered the three months
service as drummer boy in Captain
McDermott's company OF Jackson
Guards. Fifth Battalion, District Of Co

was the youngest man In the army he
points with pride to his discharge from
that company. which he has had framed
and which now hangs on the walls OF
his home
For further proof he refers to the rec
ords at the war office. His discharge
states that '.he is twelve years of age
and by occupation when enrolled. nau-

really but eleven years old, but that his
captain thought 1t point of wisdom TO
put him down as twelve years.
