TREASURY CONDITIONS.
Deficit for the Fiscal Year Reaches
S1O9, 3O0,2 SS.

Treasury receipts for April are $751;
400, 900 below those of March while
expenditures were $22, 500, 600 more.
The great difference, however, does
not indicate either large falling off
in the ordinary receipts or large in
crease in the ordinary expenses. In
March the receipts were increased by
the payment to the government OF
nearly 1000, 900 on account of the
Pacific railway settlement, while the
expenditures were increased in April
by the drawing of the warrants for
the payment of $40, 600, 900 to Spain.
The receipts for April were Sal, Gill;
5s7 and the expenditures were $780,
854, 600 showing deficit for the
month of more than $24, 600, 600.
The deficit for the fiscal year to date
amounts to S106, 300, 2SS.

Obituary.

On Saturday morning as the twilight
spread across the earth, Mrs. w. Sheets
quiet and peacefully departed this life.
Mrs. Sheets was daughter of Mr.. and
Mrs. Parnham, we'll known in Audubon
and vicinity. She was born in Lincoln
shire, England, July 9th, 1850, and died
at her home June 10th, 1899, aged forty
eight years eleven months and one day.
In 1854 Mr.. Parnham came to America
settling in Whiteside county, Ill. In
1856 he removed to Poweshiek county,
Ia, later coming to Audubon county.
December 1st, 1868 she was united in
holy matrimony to her now sorrowing
husband. This union was blessed with
seven children, two having preceded
her to the spirit world. She leaves to
mourn her loss husband, three daugh-
ters, two sons. father and mother, three
brothers and two sisters, besides many
near relatives and warm friends.
She had been a sufferer for the past
year, confined to her bed most of the
time, but in all this she was patient and
cheerful.
At 10 o'clock Sabbath morning large

to pay the last tribute of respect to her.
After short service at the church, the
remains were taken, followed by a very
large procession, to the Evangelical
church in Audubon. Rev. Humphrey
preached the funeral sermon, dwelling
on the Immortality of the soul. His
remarks were plain and kind, comfort
ing the mourners and edifying the be-
levers, yet with 80 much tirmness as to
impress all of the necessity of being
prepared for the coming of the Lord.
Her pastor Rev. Conner, read short
obituary, followed by some remarks per
tanning to her life. In her childhood
she had given her heart to Jesus and
has lived an earnest christian ever since.
She was devoted wife and affection
ate mother always ready to assist those
in need. The interment was made in
the beautiful cemetery on the hill. We
commend the spirit into the hand of
loving God, the bereaved to the grace
of our Lord, Jesus Christ. Another has
passed from labor to reward

Seattle Nov. 29.-With cargo of dying

to port last night, having been forced by
an unprecedented stress of weather off
Cape Flattery to turn back from her WOW.

and mules carried by the Victoria, leaving
here Nov. %, 90 were literally pounded to
death against the sides of the stalls in the
storm, and the remaining animals are so
badly bruised that the officers of the YES.
sci believe that many can not be saved.
The Victoria sailed for the Philippines
Nov. %. As the straits were neaied high
and dangerous sea was encountered and
the ship pitched and rolled heavily. The
stress OF weather increased as the Victoria
advanced toward the open ocean.
On the morning OF Nov. "a the vessel
was rounded to just outside the straits
with her head to the wind. AT 4 o'clock
on the afternoon of that day she was toss-
ing ON the crest of the waves described in
the log as mountain high" and the strong
gale blew thick with binding mist. The
transport labored heavily during the night,
and early the next morning steamed away
to the west, but began to roll so danger
ously that her head was again brought
round to the wind.
This day was a repetition of the preceI-
ing, with the addition of terrific squalls.
The rolling and pitching of the ship now
began to have its effect upon the animals
confined in their stalls They had been
pounded from side to side until they were
IN Il state of utter exhaustion. Several

ship and head for Seattle. During the trip
i'll several more horses died, bringing the
number OF deaths up to 50. The bodies
OF the animals were weighted and thrown
overheard as fast as death came.
Purser Lockwood was seen this morning
and said that during SO voyages he had
made across the Pacific he has never seen
such a stress OF weather as was encoun-
tered by the Victoria. The fuithest point
reached was 200 miles west of the cape.
While the storm was at its height oil bags
were entirely emptied and everything done
to ease the motion of the ship Aside from
the loss of animals, no other damage was
done, the Victoria behaving splendidly.

Tho Rat that Sailed.

A rat was caught alive on board a
British naval vessel in a trap, and the
beast was thrown from the trap into
the water without being killed. A large
gull that was following in the wake
of the ship to pick up scraps of food
thrown overheard by the steward
swooped several times, endeavoring to
pick the rat up. Once the bird got too
close to the rats jaws, and the beast
grabbed it by the neck. After a short
fight the rat succeeded in killing the
bird. When the gull was dead the rat
scrambled upon the birds body, and,
hosting one wing as a sail and using
the other as a rudder, succeeded In
steering for the shore. Whether the
rat reached the shore or not Is the
question, since the ship soon got out

London, Nov. 26.-As result of the
United States request to the powers for
assurances regarding the maintenance of
the open door in China the Associated
Press is able to say that negotiations have
been entered into looking to a more per
manent and important international agree
ment than yet mOoted. Though the great
est official reticenee is observed at all the
capitals regarding the secret movement,
there is good cause for believing that ne
gotiations have reached a hopeful state.
According to reports current here in con-
sequence of Russia and France failing to
reply satisfactorily to Washington's re-
quest, the United States decided to take up
the Chinese questions more vigorously.
The movement of Great Britain to this
end, it is said was secured, and it was
upon the initiative of the United States
that moves were set on foot to secure
not only assurances to the United States,
but a definite agreement between the Eu-
ropean powers themselves. Such an UNI
derstanding to the average European
statesman has long seemed Utopian, yet
today the Associated Press is informed on
good authority there are fair chances OF
Great Britain, Russia, Germany and ia
pan, in conjunction with the United
States, becoming signatories to trea'y
delimiting the spheres of political influ-
ence in China and determining their fiscal
policy in that quarter of the globe, based
on the "open door" policy. Such is the
scope of negotiations. The projected ar
rangement may be retroactive.

Good SponRes.

Although the difference between a
good and bad sponge is very marked,
but few people seem able to appreciate
it,. The first requisite of a good sponge
is that 1t should be dark in color. The
beautiful yellow sponges commonly
seen in druggists windows are a de-
fusion and snare. The natural color
is light to medium brown, and the
yellow sponges have been bleached by
a vitriol bath. which destroys their
elasticity and makes them wear out
much sooner.

From an investigation of new pat

turning largely to the attractive field
of effort found in devices for taking

some of these that enthusiastic pro-

artificial cold are multiplying with
great rapidity and while some of these
are of but limited and costly utility
others give promise of being able to
meet common wants and necessities in
the heated season. Even at present

In spite Of the present boom, there is
going to be a hard fight before the
automobile wins the place predicted for
it by it's devOteeS. The greatest problem
will be the reform of roads. The bicycle
has done wonders in this direction. but
the bicycle is too meek and unassertive
to accomplish a complete reform. All
ii asks is four or five inches of I'M
spoiled ground at the edge of the road
and there, If other carriages and traps
do not botch its work. it will make for
itself a beautiful yelvety little path
which answers as we'll as the broadcast
of turnpikes, so long as daylight lasts.
But the automobile, though occasionally
built in bicyclcal form, demands more
FOR effective use. 1t must have a real
carriage road, built with a thorough
ness and excellence not usually to be
found in this country outside of the
great state turnplkes and such pieces
been building. But while a great pre-
liminary investment is thus called for,
an even greater financial return is to
be looked for from the general adoption
of the automobile for traffic. Even at
present there is no comparison between
the cost of steam and horse power over
good roads, and the saving will be
greater as the mechanism is improved
