Burying ‘a Live Man—A Queer Crse -~ Deatn of tho Mayor's Mother in-Lmw—Local Notes and Porsonale, AT THE STATE CAPITOL. A FAT THING, ho Bee's attontion has been callel to he appropelation for extra expendltares in the offics of W. W. Jonos, state supor- Intendent of publo instractlon for the years ending March 31, 1886, and March 31, 1887, The total amount for the two yoars Is $11,800, which, with the ex- ception of $1,650, goes for printlog and stationery. The following s a etatement s found on page 407 cf the sesston lawn of 1885, SUPERINTENDENT OF PUDLIC INSTRUCTION, per year, total, $ 600 81,200 610 100 210 100 150 2000 500 1,000 Sending out blanks Attending institutes Postaga and postal ex Txpreas, telaphone and Printingand statione Ltter books and binding Blanks for district reporta.

This would leave & eurplus of $750 in this onoe {tem, The item of $1,000 for publishing the school laws s clearly out cf proportion. The work is doue in pamphlet form, aud oatslde of actual composition is inexvenslve, A Bek reporter called at Suaperintendent Jor ey’ office, but found that gentleman had left the city. His clerk was asked concerning the £6,000 Item agalnat wh'ch is marked records forschool districts and plans for achool houses, Tho gentleman aald that formerly euperintendents of dls- tricts were allowed to purchase thelr own recoids, which are books properly ruled boxea and arzanged to comprehend the number of pupils attending school and other data for the i:formation of proper au- thorit'es from any mource the dli- trict euperintendents thought proper. Some time since Superintendent Jones thought it would be more cconom- cal for him to furnish the books to the varfous districte, and the charyg) was made In acoordance with his views. It will ba seen that $2,500 a year fis set aside for thess books. Which certainly wust furnish a very elaborate article in- deed. Tke clerk in Mr Jones’ office sald that heretoforo s>me moncy hed been made on the statlorery and printing done for the superintendeuts offica, but that he did not belleve there weuld ba any realized for the nex: enculng yearn. When asked why, he sald that thera had been compelitlon in the bidding for the work, He did not explain that the com. potition bids wera not of such a character a8 to take It nway from the hcuse which has heretoforo dons the work, viz : the State Journal of this city. The euperintendent hes not yet filed any vouchers with the suditor for work un- dor the above appropriation, so that the various amounts for tke difforent pur. poses k2t forth sra not obtainabls, They will be glven in the columns of the Bek a8 8oon as filed, A MIXED AFFAIR, A pocnliar case came up for trlal bofore Justico Brown yesterday.

A BEr reporter nccompaniod them to sec whatheadway had bzen made o far In preparing for the great event. For five weeks tho fale grounds have been tho scene of lively preparations, and a large amount of work has been accom- plished. A force of sixty men has been employed, and under the efficlent super. vision of Mr. A, J. Potter the aspect of the park has changed wonderfally. The new buildings, frcsh paint and generally bright appearance of the place has given it an air of something grand to follow. Tte most striking object on the grounds s the elegant new amphitheatre, which 1s now nearly completed. 1t s the finest one of tho kind In the state and Is & source of pride to ity pro- jecto It has & seating oapac- ity of 3,000, end zom any part of it the entiro stretch of the teack is visible, Tho seats are wlde and comfortable, arranged In tlers, one above snother, and at the top 1s a wide prome- nade. In the conter it is proposed to placo six hundred reserved chairs, and everything 18 to be a0 arranged as to so- care the greatest amount of comfort to the occapante. Thirty new stalls have been erected for the ascommodation of raclng stock. They are built eubstantially, and with the additional room thus afforded every- body can ba accommodated. The two foed barns each contain elghteen stalls, which have been thoroughly ronovated and whitewashed throughsut, Nearly all the bulldings have received new coats of paint, Floral hall looms np beauti— fully in a drees of pea green, which adds greatly to its appearanca.

Scrapers, rollera and cprioklers are beirg ealled iato ro- quieition, and men sre kept bary super— intending thelr operatiors, .On cach side of tho track new fences are being built. They are of pickets, palnted while, and add greatly to tho appearance un until they resched Vinton streef, when In making the turn the car was thrown over on lts ¢ Ouo of the horses foll under the car and was > badly injured that he had to be killed. The other horse continued up the street, and was finally captured un- hart. The two Germans who jamped through the car windows were conslder- ably bralsed and shaken up. Their names could not be learned. ——— FASHIONABLE HOURS, Reduction To-day of Time at the 8hops—What the Shopmen say, Dissatisfaction Expressed, An order goos Into effect to-day in the Unlon Paclfic shope, the annooncement the improvements already made and di- |of which has produoad no listle stlr among | ©0t8, ramps and upper part of round the workmen. The hours of labor are to ba reduced, commenclng with to-day, to elght insead of ten, as et present—from 8 o’clozk In the morning untll noon and from 1 o'clock In the afternoon until 5 o’elock In ths afternoon.

Thls has been done away with, and no extra prics will ve paid for i clasa of labor, If & man is en. gowd on n pieco of work when the whistle blow at 5 'clock in the evening, Lo will be ol to drop It at once and leave 16 ucfiuilcd till the next day, un. lees ho chooses to put in an hour or two extra time for nothing, which fs not likely, These changer, which affact all de. partments, are not ot all favorably re- ceived by the men. Some are Incllned to be rebellious, snd mutter ominous threats about a striko, ~They say that they cannot aflord the reductfon; that there fs enough labor on hand to keep the eatire number of shop men—1,500 in all—at work on full hours Others ara Inclined to bs more corservative, Said cn> man to a reporter who wWas sock- ing & gencral expression of opinlon on the subject: ““I don’c te> but what we will have to stand tha reductlon with he best graco posstble, Iam hardly in favor of a strike myself, and I don’t think ono will cccur.

It scems that the understanding was when the contractor took hold of the work that the cut stone was to be far- nished by the company. When, there- fore, it was hauled to the epot, the con- tractors ordered It into the buildlng, without meking any partfcular inquiry us to where it came from, or by what firm It had been cut. Several days ago, the bricklayers on the bullding quit work, saying that they hed discovered that the stone had;been cut by convlctlabor, and that they did not propore to continue work, if the stone wasto baused, Yester- day the Burlington & Miszouri company tending to put them to work upon the buildiog ~ When these men found out how matters stood, they, too, deolined to work, becsuse they were union men, The will have to grin snd bear it, hoping that & chango for the batter may come coon.” General Soperintendent Smith exid last night thet the company, in parsuance of a general policy of retrenchment, had de- cided to make the changa.
