The district is divided in opinon as to having devotional exercises in school. Although that was not publicly mentioned as the issue, each party desired to elect a director to carry out their wishes. Those opposed had counted noses and found they were solid by a majority of "three," but after the fourth vote when the ballot had been thoroughly purified by challenging the illegal voters they were defeated by a ma lority of five. Many were terribly mad without knowing what about. One man childish beyond his years, attempted to ex plain the law, and was informed by a member of the Board that he had more mouth thau brains. Our . chronic kicker strode through the room, then struck a dramatic attitude and exclaimed "This is outrageous, yes devilish." One whose name would indicate his specie gave vent to his true inwardness, by sullen growls, but later in the eveniu repented and asked a young man whose vote had been challenged to "go home and pray for him." Frequent call's of "border" from the chair were of no avail At a late hour after the conservatives had succeeded in electing their candidate, n motion to ad journ was heard.

Luce: There is a great deal of inquiry made relative to the in crease of state taxation, and a comparison of the state tax of 1884 with that of 1887. It is well known that every year when the Legislature meets the appropriations are larger than they are for the succeeding year. For instance the State tax for 1883 was $1,474,672 26: in 1888 $1,458, 466.04, being $16, 206.22 less than in 1883, the first year ot Begole's ad ministration. For the year 1SS7-8, there was an increase in the State taxes over 1883 4. and that was caused almost entirely by increased appropriations for the State educa tional institu.ional and the Soldiers' Home, which had not been estab lished in 1883.
