Treasury Supply Runs Low.

State Treasurer Zimmerman says
that the actual cash in the State treas
ury at this time is considerably less
than at the same period of the preced-
ing year. There are several reasons
for this. In the first place, the expen-
ditures by appropriations for this year
have been heavier and the drafts have
been more frequent Then the taxes
have been slower than usual in coming
in. This Is no doubt due in some meas
ure to the habit Of extending the time
for the payment of taxes each succeed
ing year. permitting large taxpayers 10
hold back to the last. DR.. Zimmerman
has Just issued circular to the treas
urers, calling their attention to the act
relating to remittances. and urging
them to forthwith forward any FUNDS
due the State. With these funds the
treasurer hopes to avoid the necessity
of borrowing any money with which 10
finish out this fiscal year. The dispen-
sary, it IS stated, will net more this
year to the State than any year since
it's establishment. DR.. Zimmerman eX-
poets ample funds to meet all demands
upon the treasury to reach him between
this time and the end of the year. The
shortness of ready cash can, however,
in case of necessity, be met by an over
draft without borrowing anything.

AN ADJUSTABLE HAND.
The Waiter Tells of One Time When He
Was Shocked.

The Waiter Tells of One Time Whom He
Was Shocked.
The waiter said you might have
keeled him over by waving palm-leaf
fan at him, and that ever since he has
been avoiding men who come in wear
ing gloves, being of nervous and ex-
citable temperament with weak heart
action.
The man who shocked him entered
the restaurant at midday carrying q
light overcoat on his arm and wearing
one kid glove. Il took the coat" said
the waiter, "and was gong to hang it
I'D, when he stopped me and took a
small, oblong leather case from the
pocket and laid it on the table Then
he goes to work and gives the hand
that wore the glove kind of jerk
and twist and turned it clear around
twice. Then he stopped a minute to
look at the card and then gave his
hand another turn. Before he had
given his order he had got that hand
clear screwed Off
Cert My is was artificial. All the
same it made an old gentleman at the
next table get up half way through his
dinner and go out To see person
come in where you are feeding and
take his hand of and lay it down by
the side OF his plate amt what you
might call appetizing.
But that amt all of it. He opens
the case and takes out spoon with a
screw shank to it and screws it into
his wrist and begins to eat his soup,
an soon as he had got through that he
takes out the spoon and puts in fork.
I'm a liar if he didn't make eight
changes before he got through his
meal, and when he finished he had me
take his outfit into the kitchen and
get them washed. He gave me good
tip, but it wasn't any more than l
ought to have had, considering.

The Demand for the Brazil Nut.

There is no reason why the Brazil
nut should not be extensively grown in
the United States, where its cultiva-
ton has already been tried success
fully. The demand for it is shown by
the fact that we imported about $685.
600 worth of these nuts last year. AL
ready the pistachio. which is utilized
considerably by confectioners, is pro-
duced widely though not extensively
in the Southern States and in Califor-
MIA. The kernel is greenish, and has a
peculiar flavor. 1t is native of Syria,
and has long been cultivated in south
ern Europe, whence comes the bulk of
the product brought to this country.

County Fair and Twentieth Reunion
Several business men have already
inquired of the REGISTER whether
there is going to be celebration OF
the Glorious Fourth in lola this wear.
This city dropped out last year and
the other towns in the county held
celebrations and they think that lola
should celebrate.
Another suggestion relates to the
annual county fair and it seems to
have a good practicable ring about it.
The idea is to invite the soldiers of
the Twentieth Kansas to come here
and be the guests of the city for three
days during the fair, The boys have
had but one reunion and that came
during the busy spring days and at
very inopportune time in other
ways, consequently there was but a
slender representation in attendance.
Now II personal letters were sent to
all the members of the regiment and
the fair circulars announced and in
vited the boys to come here the
chances are that there would be a
goodly turnout. Tents should be
erected and a commissary department
arranged 80 that the boys could come
here and have no duties to preform
save to camp out and visit each other
coming and going as they wished.
There are several hundred of the boys
within 200 miles of lola and 1t would
be surprising If two or three hundred
of them did not gladly accept the in
vitation.
