SCHOOL FUND APPORTI0NMENI
County Supt. Swan Makes an Apnor
tiOnment on the Per Capita
Basis of $G.5S.
Another AppOrtionment TO Be Made
In January and q Third in
March-Statement.

Geo. Il. Swan, county superintende emf
of schools, yesterday made the apportiop.
ment of the general school fund of tbe
county to the 32 school districts, the an.
%portionment being upon a basis of sG.5s
per capita.
The general school fund consisted of
$50, GOO, ordered by the county commits.
%sioners to be transferred from the cen.
eral fund to the general school fund.
and 81, 6O9.GO, the balance remaining in
the fund after the last apportionment.
Prior to the adoption of the new codes.
the general school fund of the county
was derived from a tax levy made for
that purpose. The new codes did NOT
empower the commissioners to make
such a levy, but authorized them to
levy a general fund tax for county pur.
poses. The commissioners, under legal
advice, construed the words, county
purposes" to include school purposes
and levied a general fund tax Of 10 mius,
expecting to apportion a certain portion
of the general fund for general school
purposes.
County Superintendent Swan est.
mated that the school fund should be
about $14 per capita, for which d levy Of
about 4 mills would be necessary, and be
requested the commissioners to provide.
in levying the general fund tax, for &C.
curing for school purposes,an amount
equal to 4 mills on the assessed valuation
OF the county. and it was understood that
the commissioners, at the time the tax
levy was made, did so.
However, when, last Wednesday, the
commissioners desired to transfer some
amount from the general fund to the
general school fund, they found that the
treasurer was unable to ascertain at
present what the general fund would
amount to, and consequently they trans
ferred only $4,000, less than half the
amount for which the superintendent
asked.
However, after Jan. l, the commits
sioners will be able TO ascertain the
exact amount 10 the general fuud and
will make another transfer to the zen,
eral school fund, which, il it amounts 10
what the superintendent asks for, will
be at least $4,000, and another appor.
tionment, on the basis of $50 per capita,
will be made.
In March the Cascade county general
school fund will receive sum, probably
$1,000, OF more, from the revenue de.
rived by the state from the sale and
rentals of school sections (1G and 50 in
each township and this amount will be
apportioncd on a per capita basis.
in addition to the amount r@curiyCd
from the general a~pportionment, there
are now available to school distrlrt No.

HOW W. II. CULLEN DIED.
Slipped From the Icy Platform of a Car
in Wisconsin.

Slipped From the Icy Platform of n Car
in Wisconsin.
The Wyalusing, Pa, Rocket contains
an account of the death and funeral of
w. Il. Cullen, formerly in the employ of
Murphy, Maclay e. Co. and the Butte
and Montana Commercial company, who
left Great Falls a couple of weeks ago
and was killed by falling from the train
while in Wisconein, en- route, with his
family, TO his former home in Pennsyl-
vania.
The paper says that Mr.. Cullen and
family we're coming through Wisconsin,
which at that time was experiencing a
snow storm and blizzard. One OF the
children being sick, Mrs. Cullen had
stepped into the wasbroom to attend to
the little one. Tho father, having fallen
into q d0ze, was suddenly aroused and,
finding his companion gone, he, in q
daZed state, rushed on the platform,
from which it is supposed he slipped, it
being covered with sn0N and sleet, and
fell TO the track.
The remains were taken to Wyalusing
for intcrlnent. The Rocket says: "The
deceased was a highly respected young
man, having the respect and confidence
of all who knew him. The funeral was
largely attended, evincing the high es.
TEEN in which MIR. Cullen was held by
those who knew him best"

Barrett's resolutions had been preceded
by one of his colleagues, Mccall rep,

McCall's resolution went down before
an objection and then it was that Bar

as a constitutional question Of privilege.
Crisp. the leader Of the minority made
an unavai!!ng attempt to contest the
privileged nature Of the resolution.
Speaker Reed oyerruIed his point Of or

the arena Of debate, where in remained
for three hours. The republicans took
the position that Bayard's speech con
stituted an %otfense against the country
that called for stern -ebuke, if nor his
recall, The democrats took the position
that Bayard's u~tterances did not by any
stretch Of Imagination constitute grounds
for impeachment.

How to Make "A Pretty birthday Cake.

IL you want TO mako a pretty birth
day cake for a child, select some recipe
that is not very rich and make a layer
cake. For the filling make a frosting
colored a bright pink with cranberry
juice and put Il thick layer of the frost
ing on the top and around the sides.
You can make it still more attractive
by putting the date and name Of the
child on the top layer i'll white frosting.
To do this make II tiny cone Of stiff
white paper, pin it and fill with frost
ing; then let it run in a thin stream
from the small end, which you use as q
kind of pen TO do the writing. 1t makes
a pretty spot on the birthday table tG
set around tho cake as many burning
wax candles as the child is years old.

Total

The increase in the indebtedness Of
the several funds during the year was:
General fund, sos 30; road fund, 500. 10;
bridge fund, IS. The contingent fund
showed ii decrease in its net indebted
ness Of 5l3N9S, and the decrease in the
net iudo' -cdness of the poor fund was
SlO.l0.
At first blush, it would seem that ST.
l42 81 is a large annual expenditure Oh
the roads of the county. But when it is
remembered that there are over 800
miles of roads in the county, the eX
penditure seems small, and it should be
remembered that during the past year
the county officials have been correcting
the errors and ~remedying the delin
quencies OF their predecessors in the
matter of county roads. The road. work
has been ~systematized and the money
has been 30 expended that its effect will
be permanent. Cascade county can now
boast of the best system of roads in the
state and the amount OF trade which
will come to the merchants of Great
Falls alone, by reason of the improved
roads, during the next year, will more
than equal the expenditures from the
road fund this year. The drafts on the
road fund during the next year will be
comparatively small, and the balance
now to the credit of that fund will
doubtless cover all expenses.
During the last year the expenditure
from the bridge fund amounted to
$l,747.lG, but over two-thirds of the
total was spent in repairing the Fiji
teenth street bridge. Probably the only
expense of any consequence during the
next year will be for u foot bridge at
Belt, and the balance nov in the bridge
fund will suffice for the year.
The district court fund will probably
suffer more than any other fund during
the next year, as the March term alone,
with it's two important murder cases,
now pending, and perhaps more to come,
will make a great hole in the fund.
Licenses are now the mainstay of the
treasury, aside from taxes, and the net
indebtedness of the county will probably
be considerably decreased during the
year, unless the license law is declared
unconstitutional. If the Indebtedness
is decreased the sinking fund, which
now amounts to only 1898, will prob
ably be increased, although the bonds
do not mature for many years.

Lawrence M. MELON nell, county clerk
and recorder, Tuesday completed his
report to the state examiner of the finan-
cial condition of Cascade county on the
Both day of November, 1895.
Although the report shows that the
net Indebtedness Of the county has in
creased s9.35G.29, it must be remembered
that over $4,000, which is in the sus-
pended Merchants National bank, and
which was credited to the county a year
ago is not now credited to the county,
County Treasurer Dickerman refusing
to consider the sum as cash pertaining to
his office. In fact, the indebtedness of
the county has been reduced by about
$4,000 during the past year.
This reduction is more appreciable
when it is seen that the ordinary ex-
pensee OF the county are $lO4, S7S24.
