GOVERNOR O'NEAL FINDS
 HIMSELF A VERY BUSY MAN

In regard to the overcoat. ms Excel- lency today discovered that something was wrong. For several days, in fact, he has known that something was wrong, but to save his life he could not put his finger on the trouble.
 This afternoon, however. he went into executive session with himself and by means of some Sherlock Holmes reason inc discovered that the overcoat which he has been wearing for several days does not belong to him. The sleaves, Tn fact. are an inch too long. and in the pockets of the coat are rusty sort of gloves, which are nevertheless the height of fashion. The governor is of the opin- ion that some friend walked with his overcoat. the two being of same color thought different sleeve lengths.
 He is willing to offer a reward for the right coat, though he has not announced one.
 Report that the governor would spend Saturday in the Magic City is erroneous. He states that he has had no idea of such trip at this time.
