Sicily was the "granary OF Rome In

less than 60 grains. The rice is the finest

In the course Of its long history Eng
land has known a few serious earth
quake shocks. says the London Chroni-
tcie. In the days of William Rufus one
was felt throughout the country, and in
1874 an English earthquake destroyed
Glastonbury among it's other damage,
while part of st. Paul's cathedral fell
in as the result of an earthquake In the
sixteenth century. Perhaps the most
recent serious shock was that which
inflicted much damage in the eastern
counties In 1884: a Mansion house fund
was opened for the sufferers.

Recount, Complete In is Wards, Gives
Republican This Net Gain.

ST. Louis, Mo.-The Joint investi.
eating committee Of the legisla-
ture resumed the recount OF the vote
on lieutenant-goyerhor Friday at 3
a. M, with the Sixteenth ward, Cine
Itch having at that time a lead OF 160
over Painter, his Democratic oppo-
nent. IN the Is wards completed up
to that hour the Republican candi
date had made total gain Of 30l, and
the Democratic candidate of 141.
The first serious disagreement in
the committee over the recount arose
in the canvass of the vote OF the
eighteenth precinct Of the Twelfth
ward and In the tenth precinct OF the
Fourteenth ward. The dispute re-
lates to the legality OF 1873 ballots in
these two precincts the initials OF the
Judges on the backs OF the ballots diff
fering from the initials OF the judges
who signed the poll books. In the
eighteen precincts OF the Twelfth
ward, Gaty Pallen. whose initials APP
pear on many ballots, was taken Ill
at noon on election day and his place
supplied by another Judge, duly Ru.
thorized. who signed the returns.
In these two precincts the dis.
puted ballots have been laid aside
temporarily ustil the committee can
agree as to their legality. They may
not be taken up until ali the other
precincts have been completed. The

City Budget.

II Ia a good thing for the legislators
that they have not the same budget to
meet that the municipal government
OF ST. Louis has TO show annually.
Naturally municipal government is
much more expensive than a state gov
eminent, but there are but few Mis-
sourians that know the expenses Of
the ST. Louis government every year
are greater by $4,000, 900 than the en-.
tire cost for running the Missouri
governmental wheels for two years.
The annual report Of Comptroller
James Y. Player for the fiscal year
ending April 10. 1908. shows the taxes
received and distributed by st. Louis
for that year alone were $1O.54s, 763. 80.
But one of the reasons given for the
larger budget in proportion to the
number Of inhabitants served is the
size of salaries paid to employees. For
instance, the state pays it's auditor and
treasurer only $4,000 annually, wlHle
the treasurer and comptroller OF st.
Louis get $4,000 each, and the city
auditor $4,000.

Jefferson Clty.--The few members
Of the general assembly left in Jeffer.
son City during the election recount
discuss the difficulties that will have
20 be met In providing money for ap.
preparations for the next two years.
According to the statement OF W.
W. Wilder, retiring state auditor, there
will be more holes to fill than there
are pegs TO go around. Wllder's last
report shows the estimated receipts
for 1909 and 1910 are IS, 7s2. 900. while
the estimated expenditures are al.
16l ,s22.95.
Where all OF this money is to come
from will have TO be worked out by
the appropriations committee as soon
as II can be named by Speaker Speer
In working out the problem the com.
mittee will have the advice OF Gov.
HadlGy. In his inaugural address the
new governor recited the fact that the
appropriations two years ago exceeded
the revenue by s1,4S7 ,25424. while the
report OF the state auditor shows that
the receipts for the two years closing
just as he retired from office were
$S,S10.O70.40.
II Is probable that some of the
money will be raised through an in.
crease in assessments to be made by
the state board OF equalization after
that body meets. The first session OF
the new board will be held on the
third Monday in February.
