nation and among other things stated
that he had been consulted by Judge An
dersoD several weeks after Mrs. Wilson
death with reference 10 her mental condi
tion at the time the doctor witnessed the
will.
=. H. Traphagen. formerly the propri-
etoi OF the Hamman baths in this city,
but now OF Elsinore, testified that upon
one occasion Eliza Sanchez had come to
the baths with Wilson, that she went
upstairs and that Wilson remained out
side in the street awaiting her return
after her abutions
This was for the purpose OF showing
thatsWilson's relations with Eliza were
well known that Mrs Wilson knew them.
and that this knowledge had influenced
her in the drafting of the last will. The
cross-examination by contestants attor-
neys left this witness testimony very
lnnocuous SO far as the proponents case
was concerned.
y number of other witnesses. all old ac-
quaintances of Mrs. Wilson. testified to
her sobriety. Some witch great opportuni-
ties for observation had never seen her in
toxicated; Others with the same facilities
had never seen her absolutely drunk

THERE IS No MONEY 70 BURN
The Real Condition OF the City
Finances
FIGURES TO MAY EIGHTEENTH
The Various Funds Which Are Over-
drawn
TO MAY EIGHTEENTH
The Common School Fund Has the Biggest
Hole, While the Teachers salary runo
Is Also Bit Behind

The matter of city finances and the
probability of ending the current FISCAL
scar with available balances IN the varl-
Gus funds is one which has created much
discussion among city officers and the
public generally during the last rev
weeks. In order to CLEAN the actual facts
a Herald reporter has carefully gone over
che figures bearing upon the suolect with
the results below. The fiscal year ends
july 3tst, and the figures given are based
upor the condition of the city funds
Nav 18th, as shown by the city auditors S
balance sheet. to which have been added
the known and probable receipts to the
various funds and from which have been
subtracted the estimated expenditures. so
as to show the condition OF the several
funds on August l. 1895.
The funds of the city are diYided into
two classes:
Those for general expenditures. such as
the cash, lire and street sprinklinS funds,
and from which funds amounts can be
transferred to another fund at the end oil
tho fiscal wear to cover overdrafts or de-
6cits: and those for the payment of prln-
cipal and interest upon bonds and
amounts received from the sale of city
bonds, ETC., from which funds transfers
cannot legally be made to another fund
until the specific purposes for which they
have been created have been accom-
plished.
Balances remaining in the latter class
Of funds at the commencement OF any
year are therefore. not available for cur.
rent expenses and cannot by useed to
cover deficits, but are in the most part
intended to pay interest an principal up
on bonds which will become due before
the taxes for the succeeding year become
available 1t will thus be seen how it is
possible to have considerable cash bal
ance on hand at the end of the year and
still have deficits in one or more OF the
funds. There is at present on hand in
cash and uncollected upon the tax books
for the current year about $39. O00 which
will shortly be apportioned ana of which
amount about $2S, 400 will go to the gen.
cral funds for funds which may have
available balances and about $4,000 to the
interest and sinking funds or these funds
which cause the unavailable balance.
In the statements made no account is
taken of the salary fund which is Lain
tanned by licenses and fines and not by
taxation. and the receipts and expendit-
ures OF which are about equal.
The auditors balance sheet for the
week ending May Is. 1895, shows the fol-
lowing balances in the available funds:

Too Much Cooking Spoils Loo Ways Claims
to Be a Merchant

Judge Weliborn of the United States
district court yesterday affirmed the
sentence OF deportation against Loo Way,
a Chinaman who had been ordered sent
ont of the country by s. S. Knoles, cir
cult court commissioner at San Diego.
Loo Way was at one time one of the six
members onstitutng a mercantile firm
in that city, but varied the monotony o!
selling opium and rice by cooking in q
restaurant. He took trip to China and
upon his return was permitted to land in
San Francisco by the collector OF Gus
toms. lie was arrested in April as being
unlawfully in San Diego. The court
found that Loo Way was laborer and
not merchant. and hence not entitled to
reside within ths United States under
the act OF congress.

ITEMS ABOUT THE CHURCHES
Rev. Ramsey, Pastor of the First Pres
bytelian Church, Intends to Re.
sign His Passionate.
Adventist Chapel Nearly Completed
Tribute to Rev. Van Orsdei-
Episcopal Music Today.

The members and congregation of the
First Presbyterian church of Great Falls
will doubtless be considerably surprised
to learn that Rev. Robert Mcclellan
Ramsey, pastor of that church, will, in a
few days, resign the passionate; but such
is the fact.
Rev. kamsey has been pastor of the
church u few weeks over two years. and
by faithful efforts has built up the
church until it is now stronger than ever
it was before. lie accepted the pastor
ate at a time when the church had ret
rogressed from the high position it held
when his predecessor resigned and its
future was rather cloudy, but, neverthe-
less, has succeeded admirably in his
passionate.
1t has also been his rare fortune to so
administer his charge that the relations
existing between himself and the con
%gregation have been always perfectly
harmonious, and 10 one who knows
Rev. Ramsey but will regret that he
finds it necessary to remove FROM the
city.
When he came to Great Falls he suf-
fcred greatly from Insomnia. but his
health improved soon after coming tC
the city. lie has been an indefatigable
worker in behalf Of Christianity and the
church Of which he is pastor, and has
not spared his health in the work. The
result Is that he now realizes that his
old m0Iady Is about to again attack
him, although it has not yet become
chronic, and he has signiticd his inten
ton Of submitting his resignation.
The work il Great Falls, d new com
munity, in which there are constantly
new arrivals and peculiar conditions OK
list, is particularly arduous and Rev
Ramsey has found that, although no
weak in epirit, his physical strength Ii
not sufficient TO enable him to perform
the duties required of him.
Consequently he has decided hat hi
will seek q passionate in an older commu
nifty, where the church is we'll eetab
lishel and the climate is more conduciv'
10 his health.
Members of the church state tina
they will be reluctant to accept his res
ignation when rendered, and it is be
lieved that the congregation will adop
any practicable plan suggested that vii
enable Rev. Ramsey to remain in tn,
city.

The scene of the massacre Is far inland
