and how you are now. The simple facts
will interest others and surprise your
self. We never publish names except ON

be added.
A few rules are necessary for absolute
fair play.

1t appears now hat there will be a
big deficiency in criminal costa at the
close of this biennial period. The last
legislature appropriated $500, 900 to pay
criminal costs during 1866. The re-
cords in the state auditors Office show
that 100000 of that sur has already
been drawn out to pay these cost bills,
and by the middle of this year 1t Is
probable that the fund will be exhaust
ed. The cost bills for the ensuing six
months, amounting to 100000. and
maybe more, will have to be carried
over to the next Legislature as IA def
ciencv.
