LARRABEE'S LAST MESSAGE. Iowa's Retirlng Governor Talks Freely on the Subject. THE COMING INAUGURATION, Mr. Boles Not Likely to Make Any Eweeping Changes In the Ex- coative Office—The Teachers' Convention, Preparing for the Transfer. Warenroo, Ia., Jav. 2.-Governor Larra- ‘Vee submitted to an interview yesterday. As rule he doesn’t talk freely with newspaver men, but on this occasion he unbent himself at the risk of becoming positively charming. The governor left Des Moiues last Wednes ‘day aud went to Dubuque, where in company with Representative Dobson of 1Buena Vista county he addressed the greattemperance enforcement meeting, which was so cleverly dooged by Senator Allison. From Dubuque Mr. Larrabee ran out to Auamosa, and there made last quarterly visit to the state ponitentiary. He went through everything in a businesslike way, and was highly pleased with tue management and discipline of War- den Barr. He will visit the Fort Madison penitentiary this woek, and will also make a rip to the new insane hospital at Clarinda and to the institution for feeble minded chil- dren at Glenwood, This will complete his list of oMicial visits, and he will return to 1he capital to complete his biennial message and put ihe busiess of his office in shape for Governor Boies. The biennial message will this year bo .mude o complete and correct resume of the affairs of the state—its resources, liabilities, its tostitutions and their needs. it 18 unde stood that Governor Larrabee will recow. mend a largely increased appropriation for the lowa state university, though he will not now be quoted tothateffect. His report will be condensed as much s possible, and yet the governor wishes tohave it 8o that the render, when he completes it, will have a full and correct idea of the present condi- tion of tho state and of its growth and de- velopment duriog the last four years. Thore will be one less subject to treat upon than there was two years ago. The missing topic is that of a state debt. Jowa has none. William Fleming will assist the governor in the preparation of his lust message. It would be hard to find a better man, as Mr. Fleming has for years been closely connected with thie affairs of the state, and was private secretary to several of the former governors of Towa. ‘This will be a busy week in the execuuve office, for everything avpertaining to Mr. Larrabee’s administration must be closed up and matters but in readiness for the advent of Governor Boies, who will leave for the capitalenext week, ‘I'he c spondence and oflicial documents, su pardon papers and applications, etc., which have been carefully fiiea away during the last four years, must be packed away to make room for the papers of the new admin- istration. Governor Larrabee has made it a rule to have filed every letter and document, 10 matter of what nature, coming Lo the ex- ecutive office, and in this way a large amouut of correspondence has accumulated in the yault of the executive department, The re- port of pardons, remissions, and commuta- tions which the governor makes to each legislature is also o forrmdable document, and adds much to the work of the clerks in the governor's office. The number of pardons to be reported this biennial period is small. The snspensions of sentepce are much more numerous. Nearly all of these latter are in favor of saloou- kecpers who “'monkeyed with the buzz-saw" until they were found out. Pitiful tales most of these fellows told, and many of them, asbamed to come themselves and Plead for executive clemency, sent their ‘wives or other relatives in their stead, In many cases where suspensions were granted fne men were in jail, serving out the fines they had not money to pay, While their f; ilies were suffering, often for the necessities oflife. In such cnses tho goVErnor siuipiy e SuE R ALY, "R (e’ prison - ers were allowed to go home and earn a liv- ing for their families. Shou:d they at any future time violate the terms of the suspen- .aion, or, indeed, at the will of the governor, they can be reimprisoned to serve out the ro- mainder of the old sentence. Next Tuesday Governor and Mrs. Larraboe will tender a reception to Governor Boies and tho mem- Dbers of the legislature 1n the capitol build- ing. Itis the intention to make this quite an event, as it is the last reception to be given by the retiring governor. Mrs. Larrabee will be assisted by her daughters. As 8000 as possible after Governor Boics assumes control Governor Larrabee will va- «cate the house occupied by him for the last three years and will return to his home at Clermont. When questioned coucerning his {future movements and occupation he suid ho ‘wanted a rest from the cares and duties of public life, and that then he would try to get his business 1o hand again, As is known, the goveruor hus for some ume been collect~ iog materials for a book on railway control and trausportation. On being asked if he iutended to complete the book in the near future, he replied that he might take it up again providing he didn't feel w00 lazy. When questioned concerning the probable chauges in the clerical force in the executive office the governor became himself again and declined to give any defi- nite information, He seemed to be of the opinion, however, that no radical changes would be made atthestart, When Governor Boies called on him in DesMoines the subject was meationed aud Governor Larrabee of- fered to take any one Mr. Hoies might sug- st into the offioo o get the run of affairs, ut the lutter said ho bad 1o one 1o suggest. Mr. Boies told Prof, Hossfeld, Governor Larrabee's private sccretary, that his ser- vices would be needed for a time and it is not probable that any important change will be made until spring comes and the Jegisla- ture adjourns, Stabbed for Dréppine the Pickle:, Gannen, Ja, Jan, 2—~[Special Telegram 10 THe Ber, |--A stabbing affray is reported to.bave occurred on the Voltz farm today. 7The quarrel was started by William Lob- man, an employe on the farm, dropping a jar of pickles. .

God organized his church with a provision for young people. Youth is the time for exerting an_influence if character is 10 be formed. The work done among the young must be done by those who ‘have young spirits, whether or not the hairs be sprinkled with gray. Christ did his work while he was yet a young man, and it is this fact that atfests with the greatest clearness aud emphasis what God's idea was on this subject. The speaker said there was no concealing the fact that in the earlior days little was done toward encouraging the young to take an active part in church work, but on the contrary the young were rather suppressed. Those present had gathered together with o desire and purpose to do great work for the young veople, not only in the Presbyterian church, but among all young people. President Thompson, who is quite a young. man, referred, in closing his remarks, o the great disappointment which all would feel 1 learning that Rev. J. A. Duff of Minden, Neb., who was expected to be present and deliver the opening address, had tele- graphed that 1llness prevented his attending the convention. But, the speaker said, this should be takenas providential.

The re- ports of the fatality of the disease, as might have besn expected, have been vory much exaggerated. Particularly doos this remark apply to the alarming death rate in Aaris. In point of fact, there is no discase with such wide prevalence which has such a comparatively low mortal- ity.

Reed is the first man I have seen in the speaker’s chair who could get abso- Lute quiet on the floor of the hous when a document is to be read or a member desires to address the house, writes a ‘Washington correspondent, In that respect he is making an admirable pre- siding oflicer. the floor he stops all business, and will not permit it to proceed until order is completely restored. When Carlisle was.trying to get order he used to take tne handle of his gavel and give a series of light raps on the desk, keeping it up for a minute or two, and the disorder was apt to start sn again soon after his attention avas distracted. Reed stands up behind his desk and brings the gavel down with one sharp blow, like a blacksmith hittiug an anvil with a sledge-nammer, The noise startles the house into silence and in a voice that no_confusion can drown he demands order. A second demand of thissort makes the house s0 still that a whisper could be heard, There is something tyrannical in the toue, but the house obeys. e The South's Worst*“Enemy, To the deadly hip-pocket must be ascribed the great majority of tragedies that disgrace our annals and sadden so wany homes, says the Galveston News.
