PAYING IN SILVER.
Pennsylvania Railroads Try to Dis

LADIES FLORAL COMMITTEE
Decide on Certain Features of the
Floral Parade.

The matter of the Kansas" and ITO
pelxa'' features of the Fall Festival
parade was talked over to a consider
able length at the meeting of the Flor
al Committee yesterday afternoon
Mrs w. H. Wilson, who is chairman
of the sub committee on this particu
lar feature of the parade announced
that she had so far been unable to get
her committee together but would eX-
pect a meeting of those of the commit
tee present Immediately after the gen
eraI committee meeting.
Somebody suggested that it would
take a good deal of money to get up
this feature and wondered how it
could be raised.
Mrs. Hanley-I am very much afraid
that if we don't look out we shall get
too many committees out after money
and none of them will get enough
Mrs. Wilkie-Since we must raise
money and must choose two people for
the characters, why wouldn't it be
like the Committee Of Five is doing
with Flora?
Mrs T. G. Wood am in favor of
having the characters, Kansas and
Topeka represented by two men, big
tall. gOod-looking men. Let the man
who is to be kansas be dressed like
Uncle Sam and carry a sunfower UNI
brella Let the other be decorated
with potatoes.
Mrs. RemIey-I don't like the idea of
having the characters represented by
men little bit. We don't want char
acters We want the representation
to be grand.
Mrs. Wilmarth-Yes, we want both
of them ladies.
Mrs. Cartledge-We ought to have
big, tall woman for Kansas that
shall stand head and shoulders above
those around her as Kansas does.
Mrs. Thomas think, too, they ought

DECORATING THE STREETS.
The Ladies Committee Discusses the
Matter of Decoration

On motion of Mrs. Wilmarth at the
meeting of the Flower Committee of
the Fall Festival yesterday afternoon
it was decided that a day would be APP
pointed soon for all the ladies who
have many flowers now at the diff
ferent homes or flower making rooms.
be delivered in boxes to the committee
room in the court house.
Mrs. Wilmarth-We now have out in
different parts of the city being made
into flowers, $65 worth of paper.
The matter of street decoration was
briefly discussed. Capt. Titus of the
Committee of Fifteen was present and
told the ladies that the matter of street
decoration had been left entirely in
their hands though his committee
would see that they had male help to
do the heavy work.
Mrs. Wilhelm addition to decorat-
ing the trolley poles think it would
be a good idea to have pendants of
flowers hung from the arms gradual
ing to the outside, the longest in the
middle.
Mrs. NTilliken-I think if the COM
mittee would see that the framework
of two or more arches was erected on
the avenue we could decorate them.
No motion was made in regard to
this and no action taken

MR. ATHERTON,s REPORT.
The State Treasurer Has Tt About
Ready to Issue.

The treasury department of the state
government is at work on the biennial
report. 1t is nearly ready for the prin-
ter and will be turned over to him some
time next week. The report when COM
plete will show the balance of cash on
hand on July 1, 1894, as $842, 326.23.
Amount received during the fiscal
years, of 1894-5 and 1856, 81, 898, 092. So

ance on hand June 30, 1896, 1904. 500 10.
In the report to the governor Treas
urer Anterior among other things,
says:
priations made by the legislature of
1895, have been able to meet all state
obligations promptly and no warrants
have been stamped Not paid for want
of funds. -
The report further recommends that
the appropriations be kept at the min
1mum, and says that If the present
economic administration OF the affairs
of state continues, no increase in the
rate of taxation will be necessary. He
calls attention to the fact that during
the coming year $42O,OOO state bonds
will mature, and recommends that they
be refunded at a low rate of interest,
and purchased by the permanent
school fund. The report also calls at
tention to the fact that several coun-
ties are delinquent in the matter of the
payment of taxes. and suggests that
the attorney general should bring suit
against them and they be compelled
to pay up.
In regard to the matter of levying
taxes for state purposes, it makes the
following suggestion:
Believing the present method of the
legislature in making the levy for state
purposes to be very unsatisfactory, I
suggest that the legislature name the
amount of state tax to be raised and
leave the matter of apportionment
among the various counties to the
board of equalization. Towards the
close of the session of the legislature
the total amount of appropriations
may be ascertained and very close
estimate of the amount to be raised to
meet the expense of the state govern
nent ascertained'

ANACONDA is COPPER.
Mine of Hearst of the N. Y. journal,
Not Silver.

Washington Aug 14.-The only New
York newspaper which is supporting
Bryan and Sewall Except Col. Bill
Browns Evening News, which doesn't
COUNT is the Morning Journal, Mr.. Will
liam r. Hearst's paper Mr.. Hearst is
a. son of the late Senator Hearst of Cal
ifornia, and lest anybody should sup
pose he is not able to stand the free
silver racket in a. gold town, let it be
recalled that the Hearst interest in the
Anaconda mine in Montana, which the
late Senator Hearst bought for SIS, 600,
was sold not long ago for $4,000, 000
and this was only about third of the
mine, too.
1t is mostly copper, and not silver
and the reasons for urging free silver
doesn't hold at all as it seems. Indeed
the Journal was supposed for some
time not to accept this particular plank
of the Chicago platform, believing that
a different ratio would be better.
Young Mr.. Hearst is Democrat,
however, and he is out for the ticket
and with it the Is to 1 proposition. OF
course the Journal is not making mon
ey, but it's circulation is booming ire
mendously, and if that alone meant
prosperity for a newspaper, Mr.. Hearst
would be getting there in New York as
rapidly as he seems to have gotten
there in San Francisco.
The Journal is very handsomely
printed in the very bowels of the Tri-
bune building. In fact it looks as if
the Journal occupied a larger part of
the Tribune building than the Tri-
bune does.

WILL HAUL EVERGREEN FREE
Rock Island and Santa Fe Will Haul
Carloads of Tt if Wanted.

Here is a matter which the Commit
tee of Fifteen might take up immed-
lately. It is in reference to the procur-
ing of evergreen with which to build
arches and make other decorations for
the Fall Festival week. A considerable
amount of this material will be neces-
sary, and if the committee will ar
range to have the evergreen cut and
loaded in cars, the railroads will haul
it from Colorado to this city free.
The Santa F'e, Rock Island and Union
Pacific roads have direct lines from this
city to Colorado, where evergreen trees
grow by thousands on the hilIsides.
There is a heavy growth of these trees
the required number could be procured
and placed on the cars Twelve car
loads would probably be sufficient, and
each of the above three roads could
haul four cars. The freight depart
ments of the Santa F7e and Rock Island
roads have signifed their willingness
to do this, and the Union Pacific would
undoubtedly do likewise.
General Freight Agent D. Atwood of
the Rock Island said: Il think the
freight should be divided among the
roads having direct lines to Colorado,
and let each road participate. If the
other roads are Wiling the Rock Is
land will do it's share
Assistant General Freight Agent G.
r. Hudson of the Santa. Fe said: ct
think there is no question that the
Santa Fe would be willing to haul sew
eral cars OF evergreen from Colorado to
this city free if desired. The other
roads should be asked, and if they do
as much our road will not be back

HIS SPEECHES A NUGGET.
Hanna Says Mckinley Will Only
Make Home Talks.

Chicago, Aug. 14-General Harrison
will be the biggest Republican to take
the stump.
Chairman Hanna says it is extremely
improbable that Mr.. Mckinley will
make any speeches outside of his own
front yard in Canton. One of his call
ers yesterday asked jokingly if Bryan
take the platform, and the chairman
looked scOrnful.
'The matter of making speeches is
one that rests entirely with Mr.. Nc
KinIey," he said. land he seems to
have decided that he does not want to
go on the stump. 1 guess nobody
blames him for not adopting the tao
tics Mr.. Bryan has been following. Mr.
Mckinley is doing very well in the lit
tie speeches he is making from his own
front porch. The people want some
thing sharp and to the point, anyhow.

making at home in Canton is a mug

Republican Nominee for Justice of su-

Jacksonville, Fla, Aug 1.-THE Re

for justice of the supreme court, had
declined the nomination and would sup
port Bryan and SewaIl Mr.. Robbins
says that he has been a life long Re

the moneyed class, the trusts and cor

BOGUS SILVER DOLLARS.
a Company in Central America is
Making American Dollars.

Washington, Aug 1.-THE secret
service bureau of the treasury depart
nent has been requested to look into a
report of extensive counterfeiting of
United States silver dollars in one of the
Central American states. The infor-
nation comes from a Mexican paper
and was sent to the department. 1t
states that in one of the Central Amer
lean states a company has been organ
lars worth AZ cents and counterfeited
them into American dollars.
It is said $4,000 have been shipped
into this country and passed for dol
lars.
If counterfeiting has been going on
the guilty persons could be punished
under the treaties providing for such
crimes which have been made with
nearly all countries.
