BIG MONTGOMERY REWARD.
Santa Fe to Give $1,000 for Murderer's

Capture.
Winfield, Kan. Oct 1.-THE hunt for
the murderer of George Montgomery,
the Santa Fe detective, is to be kept
up, but it is likely to develop into a
task for detectices who have time to

there is none in prospect for the time
being. While there is some oircum
stantial evidence pointing to the COW
boys who had trouble with Montgom-
cry, 1t is not strong enough to justify
Immediate action.
The Santa Fe has offered a reward of
81, 600 for the capture of the murderer.
This makes $3.50. reward for which
detectives are more willing to work.
There has been considerable work done
here. but it has been all piece work,
picking up threads that might or might
not lead to results. The man who killed
Montgomery Saturday night used a
shotgun. Tie course OF the bullets and
their number settles that fact beyond
need Of discussion.
Outside OF the bitter feeling against
Montgomery among the ranch employees,
there was a quarrel with the Santa Fe
which has been going on for two or
three years
There are a score of indictments along
this line that would easily worry a
railroad company, yet do not amount to
Very much beyond arousing bad feeling.
Montgomery, as special secret service
man, was mixed up in these quarrels
in various ways. What threats the
cowboys may have made will be mater
ial in case the murder is found to have
come from among the employees of the
ranch company. About month ago
Mr.. Miller wrote on brick in the wall
of the depot at Arkansas City. "The
101 ranch will get even yet" Two men
saw it done. Detectives took the brick

COST OF GOVERNING
CRATER new YORK
Budget Calls for Nearly Hundred
Millions but 1t Isn't All for

From the New York Sun.

From the New York sun
New York city's budget of expenses
for the year 1901 amounts to nearly
500, 100000, or to be more exact. sos
100, Alb.
one hundred million dollars, IL is
said, is double the cost of the govern
ment of Mexico, with its $1,000 900 in
habitants, including the cost of Mex
icos army and navy; it is almost a
third Of the cost of the government OF
the German empire, with II population
of 52OOO,GOO. 1t is a quartrc as great
as the cost of the government of Great

army, navy and the interest on the
public debt, France burden of taxa
tion is crushing that wealthy nation Of
4O,OOO,0OO inhabitants, yet New York
clty's government costs one-sXth as
much as that of France, it Is asserted
such comparisons, II uncontroyerted
would constitute Il serious reproach
not merely upon the present adminis-
tration of the city of New York and
every one of its departments, but also
upon all its people, for such wasteful
extravaganza if the expenditure Of
money raised by taxation could not he
excused on any assertion of superior
public service, and New York CITY
would be justly considered not merely
as the most heavily taxed political di-
vision in the world, but also as owing
its taxation not to any foreign power
or sovereign authority, but to the act
OF the people themselves. AS a matter
of fact, such eXtraVagant comparisons
are based on the rudimentary mlsrn-
derstanding of city bookkeeping and
upon an erroneous notion of what IL
really costs to govern the city of New
York, as a little examination would
show.
FIGURES INTERPRETED.
The total New York budget for 1901
Is, undoubtedly, $9S,000,O00, but this
public expenditure is subject to re-
duction to the amount of about 50,
100000 OF city revenues not derived
from taxation. These items make up
what Is known as the general fund
and the largest of them is the sum
which the city of New York gets back
from the state from moneys appro-
priated for school purposes. A GER
tain amount is raised by taxation To-
cally and is applied to the states
school fund. Part of IL Is afterward
repaid, so that the actual expense to
the city is not the sum raised, but the
difference between the amount derived
from taxes and the amount returned
from the state. Toward schools New
York will contribute next year to the
state, s2,6sS,291 raised in the four
