Coal Shortage May Close State Capitol.

Governor Ralston and state officials at a conference considered plans to provide coal for the state house heating plant. An Indianapolis company under contract, asserts it is unable to meet the demand. The amount on hand will not last over a day and unless fuel is obtained from other sources it may be necessary to close thfe capitol, as only a few of the offices are supplied with grates.

The new dimes, the minting of which was recently started by the United States, are getting more generally circulated now and Jihffyjiave made their appearance in Renfeelaer.
