THE STATE’S FINANCES. Below is given in full the gov ernor’s remarks on the State’s fi nances : “The finances oftbe state are in a very unsatisfactory condition. During the session of the general assembly, for 1896, a levy of four and a half mills was laid to meet the current explnses of the fiscal year beginning January 1st, 1897, and ending December 31st, 1897. The sum raised by this levy proved insufficient to meet the expenses, and we have, therefore, a deficit of $100,000 to be provided for. By using every dollar fron* every 1 When You Have A lla.l Cold. You wapt the best medicine that can be obtained, and that is Cham berlain’s Cough Remedy. You want a remedy that will not only give quick relief but ef fect a permanent cure Y r ou want a remedy that will relieve the lungs and keep ex pectoral ion easy. Y'ou want a remedy that will counteract any tendency toward pneumonia. You want a remedy that is ! pleasant and safe to take. Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy is the only medicine in use that meets alkali of these requirements. This remedy is famous for its cure of bad colds throughout the United States and in many foreign countries. It has many rivals, but, for the speedy and perma nent cure of bad colds, stands without a peer and its splendid qualities are everywhere admired and praised.

Opening Seaaioi)* of the Henie and Senate Are Without Incident. (Register Jan. 1£.) » The assembling of the legislature yesterday was not attended by any unusual incidents- The members were promptly in their seats and business proceeded with the usual formalities. Very little interest was taken in the first day’s session by the peo ple generally and the galleries were for the most part deserted. The principal business of the day in both houses was the reading of the governor’s message, which, be ing short, consumed but little time. The various topics discuss ed in it were properly referred, after which adjournment was tak en until to-day. A concurrent resolution was promptly adopted by both houses to hold the election for judges on January 14. ▲ resolution in the house, ex tending the time for paying taxes without the penalty, went on the calendar. There -are sixty-three bills on the house calendar from last session. Remember every article is for cash during sale at Rucker’s. The best line of umbrellas in town at cost at Rucker’s.

The books were opened for the collection of taxes, October 15th, and since that time we have used money thus collected to pay current expenses. This money now being collected, however, be longs legitimately to the current appropriations for 1898. By re fusing to borrow $100,000, us is oLen done, theugh I have not saved the State any great amount in the way of interest charge ,, I have refused to sanction what ap pears to me to be a bad policy— the policy of borrowing money at interest. The levy for State purposes will be high, but you must remember that we have a deficit of $100,- 000—not of your making—to be previded for, and that the State will no longer receive any revenue for current expenses from the dispensary prefits, for under the provision! of the constitution all profits from the dispensary must hereafter go to the school fund. During the past year the general fund has been augmented by $92,- 000 received from the dispensary ; the year previous this augumenta- tiou amounted to $100,000 ” Beautiful^ line of kid gloves both ladies’ and gents’ go at cost at Rucker’s, More ribbon than all Florence combined wil^ go at co$t at Ruck er’s, Last line of trunks and valises all at cost at Rucker’s.
