The treasury of the Aurora Club is bust

was the information given to the members
of the club last evening by the financial
secretary, Mr.. Black. True, he yelled the
unpleasant news in choice language and
uttered his words with mildness. but after
all there was not the ring Of silver in what
he said. The members were urged to pay
their dues. They had been very slow about
it. he told them. and what funds had come
in thus far had been largely made up Of
voluntary subscriptions from politicians
and but little from dues. The plain situa-
ton is that the bills of the club are all but
ready to go to protest. weeks before the
active spring campaign has opened. Chair
man Evans, of the entertainment commit
tee also notified the club that II Its wish
to have speakers brought In to address the
club was carried out there would have to
be funds provided. and the committee did
not feel charged with any responsibility in
that line.
The club adopted the resolution of John

DOintment.

The civic federation had a well attended
meeting last night at which city and coun-
ty affairs received considerable attention.
The committee on city affairs took up the
metropolitan police question and handled
it without gloves. The report exhibited sta
tistics from other cities the size of Leav-
enworh, where the expense of maintaining
an efficient police force is much less than
here. The receipts of the police depart
ment from saloons and other sources. it
was claimed. II economically used. would
greatly assist in reducing the present high
rate of taxation The report also recon-
mended n reduction of the force.
In county affairs the committee took the
board of commissioners to task for their
method In procuring county supplies. 1t
was held that the board should advertise
for everything purchased. and let the con-
tract to the lowest responsible bidder. The
cost of medicine for the county poor was
taken up and a recommendation that u
county dispensary be established. BY this
means, 1t was claimed. there would be a
saving of over one-half to the county and
in addition a better quality of drugs would
be had. The question of county printing
came up and the federation will ask the
board to advertise and contract to the
lowest bidder. This would save about 81 900
annually.

not sufficiently matured to announce. An
