bOdy's personal benefit. What the books
show II Juggling Of accounts nnd
transfers of moneys from one fund to
another until the towns records and
finances are In a badly jumbled cOndi-
ton. Ever since taking charge OF the
office April 3 Clerk HalIgren has been
trying to prepare a statement showing
the exact condition of the towns tinan-
ces. A week ago the apparent deficit
was $4,000. Then 1t grew to 5000,
ana last night 1t was $4,000. This IL
the showing made OF the general led.
ger. He has two more ledgers to exam.
Inc. The trouble lies In the fact that
general warrants to the amount OF
$4,000 or more have been paid out
OF the special assessment funds. This
In itself warrants an action against the
Treasurer's bOndsmen, SO the taXpay-
ers OF the town allege, as the law eX.
pressly fOrbids the use of trust funds
for any other than the purpose for
which they are raised. But there IL
another bad feature to II. General war.
rants bear no interest, while those
drawn on special assessment account
draw u per cent. When the general
fund Is exhausted 1t IL the practice In
most towns to refuse payment ON such
warrants as may be issued ana make
the holders wait until more money IL
raised. The idea IL to keep the special
assessment fund intact so that the In
terest- bearing warrants may be paid
OF rs fast as presented. In Cicero,
however, an opposite course was fol-
lowed. The consequence IL that while
the general warrants have been paid
the u per cent. special assessment war
rants to at least an equal amount must
be outstanding and still drawing inter-

proprietor of the Timcs.Herald by be.

Mr.. KOhlsaat may not be practical
newspaper man himself, but he knows
one when he sees him.
In the selection OF Mr.. McAuliff for
managing editor of the Times.Herald
Mr.. Kohlsaat has probably done the
very best thing that could possibly
have been done for that journal In the
present crucial period Of Its existence.

Cornelius McAuliff Is a newspaper
man Of whom all Of his craft, not only

department, like his dead friend. James
w. Scott, he did his first newspaper
work as compOsitOr. From that he
forged ahead In every department, al
ways proving himself man Of no com.
mon ability.
Way back years ago he took hold Of
the Chicago Evening Mail, when that
genial gentleman and splendid Ameri-
can. Frank Hatton, had control OF the
paper. Under the watchful eye ana
busy hand Of "Con" McAuliR the
Evening Mail blOssomed out into one
Of the brightest. newsies and most en-
terprising evening papers published In
Chicago. Even ii. Il. White, the man.

ana himself giant In the newspaper
world, realized that ut last he had a
competitor In the field. and he had.
The race for news between the Even
ing Mail and the Evening News In
those days was keen and exciting
one.

with such cOnsummate ability that
