Unless some very radical and drastic
legislation is passed by the house OF
representatives in the coming week the
state will find itself I'm the hole" on its
cdrrent expenses at the end of the pres
ent administration IN the neat little sum
of about S245, 600, or more than double
what it was upon January LIST last. The
present legislature was elected by the
taxpayers OF our state, largely on this
issue of reduced expenditures and'if the
party is gong to redeem it's pledges
made to the people last fall, the house
will have to take the bull by the horns
during the present week and demon
strate it's ability to handle the question.
Taxes are at the limit except as to the
railroad companies. By defeating the

Those whu are seeking to reduce

BISMARCK, March 4.-The question of
were the money to pay the appro-
riation bills is TO come from, is getting
nore questioners then answers. Auditor
Briggs has promptly responded to the re-
quest of the house for Information as to
the revenues that can be expected, and
the probable expenditures. His figures
in detail are given below as matter
of general interest and prophecy.
Ex-Auditor Porter, speaking Of the re-
port of Auditor Briggs, which gave an
estimate Of the revenues and expendi-
lures of the state for the years 1895 and
1896, ssys: II am Of the opinion that Mr..
Briggs has underestimated the revenues
Ut the state somewhat during the next
two years. I would place them as fol-
lowe:
Four mill tax $3.50. 900
Railroad tax, year '95. ....... 10000
Railroad tax, year '96. .......... 5000
Insurance companies tax. $50. $1,000
Fees from state Offices. ........ $4,000
Total. :. . -. .s79o,ooo
To the expenditures given by Mr..
Briggs which aggregate $R8, 8,314.21,
should be added Sl5pOO for expenses of
the board OF university and school lands;
SlO,8OO for salaries oi resident officers of
thehospital for the Insane; Sl2,OOO for
printing the compiled laws; $4,000 for
interest payable out d the general fund,
and S63, $50 for the old apitol building
refunding warrants PAYABLE in 1886,
making total of $121,l5, beside some
$1,000 for forest tree bunties which
have not yet been reporte, by the house.
This would bring the tota for the next
two years up to S672.464.2. The total
appropriations passed by >e senate and
now awaiting favorable elton by the
house amount to 1855. .0OOit the institu-
t1ons OF the state, and abot $37 900 for
other purposes which VOID bring the
total expenditures up to tb muniticent
| sum OF 81 ,O64, ,46421. lei avir deficiency
at the close of 1896 OF abnt $275,OOO.
The $4,000 militia APPROPRIATION will
probably be withheld vhictwould make
the deficiency that mudh lee.

by competent persons familiar with the
business Of the state, that the revenues
of the state for the years 1895 and 1896
will be as follows from the various
sources from which the general revenues
Of the state are derived:
From the mill tax $66O,O00
'0roas earnings r. r. tax2 per
centum 95.. 5................. 10000
Gross earnings tax per cent SO $4,000
Insurance companies tax. $4,000
Fees from state offices -. 10000
IOtal. ........ $|9O,OUO
This is something Of an increase over
the revenues for the past two years
which are shown from the auditors re.
port to have been S733,6l9.45, owing to
the increased assessment of the state
and the maximum state levy of taxation.
The appropriation bills as passed by
the senate indicate that, as usual, that
body has not we'll considered this side
of the states ledger, and if allowed to 20

ate, the state will find itself deeper in
debt than on Jan. 1st when it's unpaid
bills amounted to $4,000. Provided
these bills pass the house and are ap-
proved by the governor, it is estimated
that the expenditures of the state will
be as follows:

judges and state officers sal

vides for payment of fees and travelling
expenses by the counties. It was partly
crippled in it's economical possibilities
by anendlng to make the state instead
of the county pay the expenses. The
bill ID III line with ex-Auditor Porter's
recommendations on the subject in his
biennial report. The counties that were
a long distance from jamestown objected
to the bill and we're partly able to defeat
it. Gpards get S1,5O day instead of

WHAT A FROGS CROAK DID.
4 Peculiar Incident That Led to the In
vention of the Telephone.

It is not common knowledge; except
70 those familiar with electrical and
telephone history, that the first telephone
was constructed in Racine, Wis, AMI
hat the inventor, DIR. S. d. Cushman,
is now a resident Of Chicago. His offices
arc in the Stock Exchange building.
Here the venerable inventor, who built
ilc first telegraph lines iRthis part Of
the ''far west" pursuesF Ms business
with more alertncss in affairs than the
average young MAN.
In Il corner of tho room is a large,
worn piece Of muslin, on which is
painted in thin color a representation of
1 telegraph line stretching away in the
distance, connected with a crndc instru-
ment set On two logs, near which 4 frog
is sitting by a stream. This old relic
represents the telegraph line Of good
cedar posts" which DIR. Cushman con-
structed west frsm Racine for the Erie
and Michigan Telegraph company in
1851, and the experimental lightning
a~rrester which led to his discovery.
1t is a reminder of the days vixen DR..
CuslAnan was associated with Professor
Morse in the pioneer days of telegraphy.
On his desk is the first telephone RAJ
mitter, constructed in 1851, % years be-
fore the Bell p;Sants were taken out. 1t
is a small, square box, with a speaking
oritice and containing u mechanism on
the same principle rs that Of the modern
tranSmittcT.
In 1851 DR.. Cushman undertook the
construction of 4 lightning acrester, his
object being to take the lightning that
struck the wire and run it into the
ground, the instrument being SO O
struc:ed that it would not interfere with
the Light culrept used in tclegraphing.
This instrument was placed out on the
prairie Oh two logs, and in order to
know when it had operated a triple
magnet, with u sheet of thin iron at
the poles, similar in construction to a
modern receiver" was placed in the
corner Of the box. In ease the lightning
passed through the instrument the cleo
tro magnet would pull this strip Of iron
down into the range Of a permanent
magnet, which would retain it until the
instrument was inspected.
A similar device was placed in the
basement Of the building at Racine and
connected with the other end of the lire.
One day while thunderstorm was com
ing up ard DR.. Cushman was watching
the instrument the croaking ot frogs
was heard 10 miles away. This is tie
explanation Of how the old painting
with the crude instrument md the
croakAg frog is identified with the dis
covery Of the telephone.
DIR. Cushmaa is the inventor of the
fire alarm system in use in Chicago. His
patent Office reports, he says, would
weigh z ton" and contain q great num-
Der Of his electrical patents. Chicago
