Riding on passes and charging the State 20 cents a mile for railroad fare is what some of the members of the Legislative Investigating Commit teoj are alleged to have done, and when called upon to itemize their accounts, have ignored the Gover nor's request.

In McClure's Magaziue for Sep tember will be leproduced a superb life-cast of the face of Henry Clay, made by John H. I. Browere in 1825, when Clay was forty-eight years old.

In the same number of McClure's will be reproduced the only portrait ever painted of Mrs. Henry Clay. It also has never been published. Notes by Mr. Charles Henry Hart will relate the history of the portraits and the circumstances under which they were produced. While to Governor Hastings should be accorded gieat praise for his right stand in behalf of the peo ple and his fealty to his official oath, in disposing of the Legislative bills left to his discretion, the service of his legal adviser must not be over looked or underestimated.

When a momber of the Legisla ture in an adjoiningcounty shows his sympathy for a fellow member who has his record published, it is a pret ty good evidence that the sympa thizer "had his finger in the pie" too.

I feel you have done yoursolf credit and much for our party by your exposures of the rascality in our last Legislature. Your reqiiBt of your own ruomber for an itemized Btatement of his ex tra charges will show the people how corrupt our members are getting to be. Tho Governor has lately waked up to tho fact that something must ho done to save his own reputation and also of the party. He might have done much more and saved thousands of dollars. He left many large and suspicious bills puss that did seem to require explanation. Tho remodeling of Grace ehurch, committee bill (vetoed by Gov. Pat tison), etc., show his willingness to save at the spiggot." An To Feeding Crimson Clov.tr. The use of crimson clover for feed ing purposes is looked upon by the farmerB as dangerous, and many stock owners refuse to feed their cattle on it after it has flowered. The state board of agriculture has sent out a caution to the farmers to be very careful of the clover, for if fed to stock after Ihe seed matures it often proved fatal. Next Friday evening the Y. W. C. T. U. will meet at the home of the Secretary, Miss Lula Smith. Every member is urged to be present promptly at seven-thirty o'clock. Bring a mend along. Killed at Rock Glen. John W.

The Franklin County Democrats have denounced tho late Legislature for not passing a law compelling banks to pay interest on state de posits.
