ANOTHER SHORTAGE,
State Treasurer holland Greatly Behind in
Missouri Moneys.

ST. LOUIS, March AT Jefferson CITY
I 1t Is now considered pretty well settled
fact that State Treasurer Noland is
short in his accounts something over
$50 900. Even Gov. Francis is in doubt
as to the exact amount, owing to what he
terms irregularities in books Bondsneu
who have talked about the matter agreed
| that the deficit is over $50 900, and all who
possess any information adhere to this
sum or very near it. Treasurer Noland
was at the state capitol this morning and
reiterated his former denias of short
aye. The whole matter is now in the
hands Of the committee of investigation
| appointed by the governor, who said
must decline to discuss the matter further
until Treasurer Noland makes full and
free statement. 1t will probably never
be known where all the money went or
what for. 1t is now claimed that the
bondsmen were all aware OF the shortage
and that they intended to make it good
ana were ready to pay the money the
minute they knew the exact amount OF
the deficit. In this they reckoned with.
out the governor, who assumed that il
there was shortage his investigation
must show it, and then it would be time
to notify the bondsmen and make the
states loss good He went upon the
theory that it was useless to attempt to
place a certain sum OF money in the
treasury without showing where it came
from and without the same being charged
upon the auditors books. This is the
straw that broke the camel's back. Some
the Treasurer Noland's friends ques-
ton the right OF the governor to suspend
the treasurer, but Atty. Gen. Wood says
that Gov. Francis has not exceeded his
authority, and upon receiving information
that there is deficit he will commence
quo warranto proceedings in the supreme
court to the end that writ of custer may
be issued.

HOUSE.

Immediately after the reading of the
journal the consideration of the Arkansa:
election case of Fealherstone against
Gate was resumed, and the contestee was
accorded the floor to speak in his OWL
behalf. 1t was the duty OF the members,
he said, not to elect representative from
the first district of Arkansas, but, laying
aside party prejudice, to determine whom
the people of the district had chosen to
represent them.
Mr.. McRae (Ark. in speech OF four
minutes defended and eulogized the peo-
pie of his state.
Mr.. Houk (Tenn.) who has charge of
the case for the majority OF the commit
tee on elections, made presentation Of
the claims of the contestant In conclu-
sion Mr.. Houk urged that the coored
people OF the south should be given a
fair chance. No man can hold seat on
this floor who is returned by means OF
rifles, clubs and fraudulent ballot boxes.
He was in favor Of national election
law.
At the conclusion OF his speech Mr..
Houk demanded the previous question.
Mr.. Hill Qll.) Republican who has
supposed to be opposed to the claims of
Featherstone, rose and asked unanimous
consent to address the house.
There was good deal OF excitement
exhibited during the roll call, as the vote
was very close. 1t resulted: Yeas l45
nays l4l 80 the previous question was
ordered.
Mr.. Cultivate then offered substitute
for the first resolution reported by the
majority declaring Cate not entitled to
the seat), a resolution declaring Feather
stone not entitled to it. Rejected; yeas

More Than He Could Chew.

San Diego Union.
Horace McPhee, of the Valley Union,
came down to-day on political trip,
and brought with him his papers for the
following story:
The other day. while D. n. Buchanan
was on his way home, he discovered a
small reptile known as the milk-snake,
which was trying to swallow a horned
toad. The snake succeeded in getting
the toad started down the winding
stairs. but by this time the toad diScov-
cred the object the snake had in view,
and began to kick, so the snake and
toad had it up and down, the snake
holding on like grim death and the toad
kicking like an Apache Indian. Finally
the toad made one desperate effort to
liberaIe himself, piercing the snakes
mouth on either side through and
through with it's horns. This sealed
their doom, for the snake could not
liberate the toad nor the toad could not
free the snake, consequently both eX-
PRED, leaving the head of the toad in
the snakes mouth and its horns pro-
truding from either side. j. NJ. Rich
ardson has the snake and toad pre-
served in alcohol, and parties desiring
the truth of our snake story can call at
Mr.. Richardson's and examine the
proof.

GOOD FOR CHICAGo.

The great need of the age is evidently
more societies to resolve good things
and develop qualities. The impression
that in this country every phase of life
and thought had its machinery for
formulating declarations and concen-
trating verbal efforts is constantly be-
ing found TO need enlargement. Quite
recently two more secret societies to do
public work have been organized in
Illinois, and are to be spread over the
land. One of these has the compre-
hensive designation of the Universal
Brotherhood and Sisterhood of Amer
lea. A prominent purpose in its chart
is to educate the general mind on the
eight-hour work line. The other origi-
mates in Chicago, and assumes the cap
ton of the Good Citizenship Fraternity.
Its aim is lofty. and, perhaps. due to
the local need in anticipation of the
worlds fair. Should it confine itself to
the development of an exalted ideal
citizenship in that locality. it would
find an almost infinite opportunity, and
add to the interest and value of the ex-
position.

TO YOUR TENTS, o ISRAEL


When the census situation is so well
understood as it is by the citizens of
this community, it would seem to be
superfuous to offer additional advice or
suggestions.
Yet, in view of the limited time with
in which we have to prepare for the re-
count, and the very little preparation
that has been made for it, we do feel
justified in again urging upon ur peo-
pie the Importance of giving their
closest and individual attention to the
matter.
1t is case where great deal de-
ponds on individual action, and all in
dividuals are equally interested.
On his arrival in the city this MORN
ing, Special Agent WARDLE will be
met by number of representative citi-
Zens, and arrangements have been made
for conference with Him at the cham
Der of commerce hall Immediately after
the adjournment of that body. We
take it for granted that the situation
will be fully discussed, and that Mr..
WARDLE will Immediately shape his
plans for making the recount. When
his views and purposes are aScertalned,
our people will have a more intelligent
idea of what they will be able to do in
facilitating the work. We take it for
granted that the census committee, as
at present constituted, will go ahead III
carrying out the details of any plan or
plans that may be adopted.
There are other matters, however, i'll
which each Individual citizen must be
relied on to contribute his share to the
work. First of all, it is important that
every person shall answer fully and III
diligently all questions that the emu
meratorS may PROFOUND. 1t is the duty of
every person in the city to be in place
when the enumeratorS come around. 1t
is furthermore duty to have list pre-
pared, giving the names of all the men,
bers of your household, including serv
ants, boarders, dodgers, or others who
are inmates of the house or who were
inmates on the 1st day of June last. If
there are members of your household
absent from the city. make note of it
and apprise the enumerators of the fact.
If any of your neighbors are out of the
city, make that fact known to the census
officials.
1t is the business Of everybody to be
enumerated, and the way to make sure
of it is for everybody to give their atten-
ton to it.
We want nothing but fair count.
and never have, but let us make sure Of
getting a full count.

THE FARMERS SHARE.

In one of the factories in Pennsyl-
vania town local authority states that,
among other implements for that desti-
nation. single order is being filled
for $4,000 plows for one of the
South American countries. 1t is
matter of congratulatiOn that
American manufacturers are able to
obtain orders for some of their prod
ucts in the republics to the south. The
agriculturiStS in the Pan-Americas
are to be congratulated that they will
obtain the best implements obtainable;
and perhaps the United States plOw-
holder will add his qualification that his
brothers to the south are supplied at
about half the price he has to pay at
home. In a recent speech in the SEN
ate, Mr.. VEST presented the facts
he had gathered Oh this subject.
He had sent to Buenos Ayres
and obtained the circulars printed in
Spanish containing the prices offered
those people by the manufacturers. In
the case of plows the figures were ex-
actly one-half of the home prices, and
on all other articles reduction of from
25 to 40 per cent. Special investigation
shows that the goods were identical in
quality of material and workmanship
with those sold to the farmers at home.
There have been some attempts to dis
parage the character of the articles sent
abroad. but it is not seriously questioned
now that most of the articles of Ameri-
can production are sold to foreigners
cheaper than at home. 1t is not allege
that there is any loss in the price to
the parties abroad. The natural effect of
high tariff is to impose the burdens
upon the consumers in the DISTRACTED
markets. Another incident in connec-
ton with these $4,000 plowS to be sent
to South America is of interest to the
farmer. They were to aid i'll develop
ing a new and fertile region in the pro-
duction of wheat. The exclusion of the
mestiZa wool from this country had sent
it all to Europe. and so depressed the
price thatit was found needful to resort
to other products, and vast areas of
sheep lands are to grow wheat. These
are extremely prolific lands, and can be
made to add greatly to the wheat to be
sent to the European markets. Means
of transportation are easily supplied,
and great navigable rivers afford con-
venient outlets to the ports that are but
fifteen days by steam from Liverpool.
1t is believed that the competition in
these regions will be far more danger
Gus for the United States wheat grower
than that of India can be. This is what
protection does for the farmer.

Merriam's Administration.

Caledonia Argus -
The general concession that "Merri-
am has given the state good admins
tratiOn" hardly bears analysis. He
found the state with appropriations in
creasing, the tax levy enlarged, and in
spite of it a deficit of $685., 200. He
managed to restrain the looting by the
legislature to any greater degree than
its predecessor had gone, but his only
remedy for the deficit was the authori-
cation of loan at per cent, which can
scarcely be rated as extraordinary
financiering. But not one thing that
has been demanded or promised has
been done. Taxation has not been
diminished: economy has not been en-
forced; the grain laws have not prevents
ed the Ills they were designed to cure.
