The chairmen of the enrolling and

anty bill a good one.

briefly and informally as follows: IL
appreciate fully the honor that is mine
in being given the privilege of sign
ing the bill. 1t has been great
pleasure to see this promise of the
democratic party being carried out to
complete fulfilment. 1t is not the
work of one man. and does not rep
resent the sagacity Of any one man in
the state. Rather the bill is the re-
suit of the wisdom and judgment Of
many men. have gone over its pro-
visions carefully, and am glad to sign
1t. First, however, ! want to go over
the sections. The bill is based on
the broad principle that the profit and
prosperity of banks are derived from
the depositors, and the banker who
puts aside portion of his profits to
secure safety for the depositor will
be amply repaid by the increased con.
fidence the public will feel in his
institution. 1t is merely the principle
of insurance carried into the banking
business. shall be glad to sign the
bill, gentlemen of the legislature

tons"
Later on the governor signed the
bill, and in a few months 1t will &c

Governor cossrove Is Dead.

Governor Samuel q. Cosgrove -
Washington died at Paso Robles,
Calf, suddenly Sunday OF bf!Sht's
disease. The governor had been in
poor health for some months prior to
his election last November. The
strain and work OF the campaign had
weakened him and he went to Cali
fornia early in January to recuperate.
The baths and waters Of the springs
relieved his condition and he gradu-
ally became stronger. He felt so,
much improved that he risked the
journey to Olympia to be inaugurated,
returning Immediately. This trip.
however, proved too much for his
strength and since his return his con-
dition has gradually grown worse.
For the past two days he had been
confined to his room, with Mrs. Cos
grove In constant attendance. Only
a few hours before his death he
seemed to feel better, and remarked
that he hoped to soon be able TO re-
turn to Washington and take up his
| duties as governor.

Colonel Hoffman sent out numerous
scouts to watch movements of the

Snake wants to reach the Tiger noun

chief is striving to stir the Creeks to
on uprising and strike for what he
conceives to be liberty was evident
from the smoke of three signal fires

Old time frontiersmen who insist they
know what such things mean. declare
this is a signal which always ushers
in Indian trouble.

vote being taken. When the house
rose from committee of the whole the
