STATE TREASURY SHORT.
The Treasurer's Statement Makes a
Bad Showing for Our Hoggies.

AUSTIN, Dec. 5.-[Special From
a tabulated statement of the condi-
ton of affairs in the State Treasury
this morning it appears that the
cash for general purposes run dry
over a month ago, and had the
creditors of the state presented
their claims they would have been
refused payment. The governors
scheme of borrowing from the sal
aried family saved the treasury
from exposure. The treasury began
this month with over twenty-one
thousand dollars, which has all been
paid out, but $4,000 has been re-
ceived in the last four days and
from now until June the receipts
will be largely in excess of the rev.
enue. Last year at this time the
revenue on hand was 100000. Tn
less taxes are raised on large num-
bers the taX-eaters will be choked
to death, cash balance will be non
est by October of next year and the
state will be in the soup worse than
ever -.
