in tho night from tho Jail to Minneapolis,
whero ho took tho train nnd wns placed

For nearly a month n commission of two

curing paper and material from tho stuto

customary for tho stato printer to go to
the stato supply of paper ond tako what
ovor material ho needed for any stato
work and mako no accounting therefor.
Two years ago tho system was changed niid
a careful nccount was kept or all tho ma
terial supplied to tho printer. This was
largely tho outgrowth of a bitter fight
which wns mado on Mr. Conway, tho stato
printer, by political enemies, but tho sys
torn has been found to work so well It will
bo continued. Tho commission has reported
In dotall on tho entlro two years' work
