The suit to discover 81 900 damages
for trespass has been filed in county
court by Armeda Garibaldi VS.. Caro- Wit
tori and G. Vall as bail. 1t is set forth
in the writ that the defendant has made
harmful statements relative TO the plain
tiff, which have damaged the character
of the woman, who is plaintiff.
A meeting Of the board of control is
taking place this afternoon for the pur.
pose of alloting the rooms in the new
state building and also ascertaining what
departments will come into the capitol
when ii has been remodeled. Insurance
Commissioner J. G. Brown is in hopes to
be able to 60 into the new building, while
the board of charities and probation will
probably remain in the present building,
in view Of the fact that 1t has frequent
calls to 90 10 the executive chambers
for advice in disposition of the matters
in its department Charles Plumley's de-
partment will probably be moved into
the new building. There Is considerable
speculation whether those four depart
ments in the Colonial will be moved into
the new building or whether some other
departments scattered through the state
will be brought here first The attitude
of the Historical society's officers to-
wards the mineralogy department has
caused more discussion about the State
House than any other department, 1t
was announced at the last session that
an agreement had been reached between

is settled

that there is a rush Of business TO get
certificates to the various parties who
have sent their statements to the office
relative to sugar, which included hotels,
dealers and bakers, 1t is hard to esti-
mate the number that have been sent
out for they 60 in lots of single certi-
ficate or in half dozens, but there have
1900 individual lots been mailed from
the office In addition to sending ont
these many certificates, there is the rou-
tine business Many inquiries arrive at
the Office each day as TO whether the GER
tifcates are for three months or just
July. The clerical forces are unable to
handle all the correspondence, but the
present certificates are for the month of
july alone. A different rating may oc-
eur for the other two months.
The regular city council meeting oe-
ours Wednesday evening and one of the
things that the council will have under
consideration will be the election of a
new fire chief. Some months ago Chief
Pattee advised the council that he was
not going to stay long, asking them at
that time how much Of a notice they
wanted when he decided to leave. No
answer was given him on the matter and
the first of the month he gave his notice,
effective next Sunday. AT the time As
