OUT OF MONEY.
City Treasury Will Be Empty
This Month.

Last January the State Journal made
the assertion that the city would have
to borrow money to pay its April bills.
This assertion was Indignantly denied
by other newspapers in Topeka, who
were trying to protect the financial rec
ord of ex-Mayer Hughes.
April is here and the city has exactly
$6.92e.92 on hand with which to pay
the April bills, which viii aggregate
from $4,000 10 $4,000 The difference
will have to be borrowed from the banks
of the city.
Furthermore, the city will have to bor-
row money to pay all of the May bills
viii get no more money from the county
treasurer till the last of June or first OF
July.
City Treasurer NJ. NJ. Hale today filed
his annual report for the fiscal year
ending March 81. The report shows
that on April /, the city had on hand for
its current expenses the following
amount
General revenue fund -.........S l2 023 sc

From this amount must be subfacted
the amount voted out at the meeting of
April T. which was $13 1855. This leaves
the present balance on hand S5.9z9.9z.
Furthermore, the city received only
$107, 412. 30 from the county treasurer for
the fiscal year ending April I, 1901 For
the fiscal year ending April l, 1902 the
city has received Sl28. 12404. With $40.

Han Who Disposed of Mortgaged
Cattle in Custody.

Kansas City, April 19,-The chief OF
police of Hot Springs, Ark, telegraphed
J. Y. Moore asking What reward for
J. 9. TrGutnan2" and adding, Think
I can get him." Mr. Moore wired back
at once that he would pay 500 for

ranch. IToHtman had no money to pay
on them and Moore took a n ortgage for
the purchase price, $780, AfteFward
when feed became very expensive he al
lowed Troutnan to borrow $500 for him
to feed the cattle through the winter.
The notes with accrued interest would
now amount to 81, 066 but the high price
of cattle would have made Moore safe
had not the cattle disappeared.
About two weeks ago Moore learned
that the cattle had been driven away
from the ranch at Douglass and Trout
man had gone with the cattle, leaving
his wife and children behind. He traced
them southwest into Sumner county,
and there secured information that they
had been shipped to St Joseph and sold.

been made at Hot Springs but had COM
