CARRYING CAPACITY OF CARS.
The Labor Lobby VIII Present q BiIf
to the Legislature.

One of the bills to be presented to the
Legislature is one to limit the carrying
capacity of street cars. The bill will al
low only so many passengers to be carried
i'm each car and for a violation of the law
the street-car company is TO be subject to a
stipulated fine for each offense. While the
author of the bill has not made SUFFICIENT
that will be allowed TO each car. he says
the limit will be a comfortable capacity
The bill has q two-fold purpose. First,
1t is to do away with crowded street cars
and establish a service that will be more
agreeable to the public: and. secondly, for
the benefit of laboring men. More cars
would necessarily have to be put on which
would mean more work in the shops, the
employment of more conductors and motor
men. and an increase in the laborine force
all round. While this is not the prime OBJ
Ject. yet IL has more bearing than would
generally be supposed So acceptable does
the bill appear to the labor lobbyists that
II is said they Will work for its adoption.
To the laboring men IL Is even more fmpor-
tant than to others. They suffer from the
effect OF overcrowded cars more than
any other class OF patrons and In addition
to the. comfort such a bill might bring
them. the additional work is considered an
important factor.
countries. and the supporters OF the bill:
maintain that II 1t can be carried out
there IL can here. AT first the bin was
regarded as A joke. but a second and seri-
Gus consideration has developed the fact
that there is something to IL, and the au-
ture meets he will have enough supporters
10 pass It.

his remarks told of a number of instances
coming under his observation where the
reformation of degraded persons was ac-
complished through belief in spiritualism,
which would not allow them. being con-

Miss Emiie Kratz. recently of st. Louis.
gave her second lecture and demonstration
in s~piritualism last night before a large
crowd In the society's hall In the Mansur
block. Miss Kratz spoke at great length
and at the conclusion she seemed TO be
near a physical collapse, for, as she said.
she was with the souls OF the departed
ones. The tests which Miss Kratz made
proved satisfactory 10 those with whom
she was in touch. The tests OF writing
which were submitted proved of too per-
sonal a character TO lave the proper con-
ditions. and these she put aside.

The Finanoial Statement

The Financial Statement.
We give this week by the courtesy of
Auditor Williams, complete statement
of the finances Of the county in detail. In
every fund handled by the county treas
urer including state. school lands, bitches,
towns and villages, townships. school
districts, ETC.; the amount of money on
hand July l, 1899 by the county treasur-
er, amounts since collected, amounts
paid out on warrants or to local treasur-
ers, and balance on hand held by county
treasurer June 80, 1900, is shown in de-
tail. The grand total of collections
1920, 1888, and expenditures s22O, 237.33
is very large, and shows in way the
yearly increasing wealth of the county.
The same figures will also appear in
the official papers of the county, but as
we do not get paid for space as they do,
we have taken the liberty to put them in
a more condensed, but just as complete
form.
Every tax payer should take look at
the tables. In the case of most town.
ships and many school districts, this is
the only opportunity for the taxpayer to
know how much money is being spent in
his particular locality, as their officers
never advertise the financial statements.
The county fund proper, from which
the county expenses are paid, shows a
very satisfactory balance of s32, 1851. SO on
hand. while :he total bonded indebted
ness is only $4,000.
