believed to have practically eaten ND the
entire amount Of the defalcation.
There is on deposit in the banks Of
this city $8l $40, while the books call
for $3.50, ,Y4O.. There is due the state for
tax on money at interest for 1899 the
sum of $4,000, of which three -fourths

The movement attracted wide attention

whose leader, Prof. Felix Adler, had an
nounced his intantion to rid the con

No set plan OF campaign has been out.

be derived from the fact that the British
element of the district will lend a hand
