THE TREASURY OUTLOOK.
Gratifying Condition of the National
Finances Decreasing
Deficit.

When Secretary Gage submitted his
annual report last December he esti-
mated that the treasury deficit for the
present fiscal year would amount to
SIP, ,0G0, and that the deficit for the
following year would be about S30,000,-
600. With but month more of the
fiscal year to run il is apparent that
the secretary was altogether too pcssi-
mistic. The deficit at present is $lOi,-
100000 in round numbers, and as June
is quite certain to yield n surplus, it is
quite probable that when the treasury
officials come to strike balance for the
completed year they viii find that the
deficit will not go above the Sl00,000,0G0
mark.
This condition Of the finances is de-
cidedly gratifying, but even more sat
isfactory is the prospect for the next
fiscal year. 1t is now predicted by the
most capable statisticians that instead
of n deficit of S30,000,000 no deficit ut
an win he shown. While the fact that
the government has been running be-
hind in its financial operations does not
seem to have disturbed business, yet
the country will breathe more easily
when an actual surplus can be shown.
There wa. time when such surplus
was regarded as u menace to prosperity.
but we have learned good deal since
1899. and there would probably be little
grumbling il the treasury receipts were
to exceed the expenditures even by sew
cral millions.-Troy Times.
The L'Anse sentinel. (L'Anse, L.S., Mich.) 18??-current, 1899-08-05

CrThc general prosperity OF the
country finds many illustrations, and
none more significant to the casual OBJ
server than the vast increase in postal
business. Official figures just made
public show that during the fiscal year
ended June 80, 1899, the amount paid
for postage was about so0,o00,000,
which is Ss,0Oo,c0O more than IN 1898.
There has been gain Of riorc than 20
per cent. since 1896. Thc; smashing of
the cheap money and free riot combine
ton was great thing for business and
for the government revenues. Troy

A NEW FORCE
Alleged to Have Been Discovered by
an Ohio Mtn---Has a Working
Model.

Special to the Register.
GAINESVILLE, O., February 4.-Charles
A. Kelly, of this city, has purchased
an interest in the new style of motor
invented by H. w. Korne and S. S.
Orr, Of Newark. Mr.. Kelly says the
motor derives its motive force from
the resistance encountered in running"
and not from coal, gas, water, cleo
tricity, springs or compressed air. To
start it, he says, one needs only to re-
lease a brake on the fly wheel and the
machine will run for twelve, twenty
four or thirty-siX hours. according to
adjustment. He says 1t has no resem-
blance in construction or theory TO the
so-called perpetual motion" motors SO
much talked of, and does not, in fact,
assume to solve the problem of per-
petual motion. He says he has thor
oughly tested a small model and will
soon have a larger one ready for eX-
hibition. He refuses now to give a
more accurate description, as applica-
tions for certain patents are pending.
Mr.. Kelly is a conservative, level-hsad-
ed man who has a considerable knu1-
edge of mechanics, and he has impnSt
faith in the new motor.

of these are buying lots and building.
Others are renting. Realty has appre-

months. Houses and lots which could

in MANY instances, the owners refuse
to let go at anything in reason. While

Many are improving their buildings in
various ways, handsome additions or

structures are being RACED and sup
planted by modern buildings. This is
true of dwellings, as well as business
houses. There is an air of permanency
about the buildings going up seldom
seen in an oil town. The fact that "old
country people" can and are building
on their own lots is an incentive that
actuates them to build more perma-

The bell-weld and butt-weld fur
naces at the Riverside works at Ben
wood, which were put off owing to an
excess in the stock of small pipes, re-
manned idle during the week, but it is
very likely operations will be resumed
in these departments within a short

for large pipes.
The work of double tracking the B.
&, o. railroad between Bellaire and
Chicago which, according to reports,
was to have been commenced during
the past week was for some reason or
other postponed until a later time,
probably for the reason that the con-
ditions of the weather were unfavora-
BILE for such operations. At all points
along the line, the bridges will have to
be made much wider for the laying of
another track and at some places it
will be necessary to replace the old
bridges with entirely new structures,
according to information from one,
who is interested in railroad matters
In all there are fifty-one bridges at
various points along te B. & O. road
between Bellaire and Chicago and a
