exists, there being only one buyer in

a farmer living at the forks of
the Red river at Kiamitts, Indian
Territory, recently applied Paris
green to cotton in field where the
boil worms were doing damage.
There has been little rain since the
Paris green was applied. Four days
ago cotton pickers, four men and
three women, went to work on the
patch where the poison had been ap-
piled. Late in the evening they be-
came sick and during the night all
are reported to have died. Their
death is said to be caused by inhal-
ing the dust from the poison.

ton is that of Russia about eight

preparing to resume gold payment.
At that time Russia is said to have in

TIE STATE DEF Ic7T.
Receipts Will Fall Away Be-
hind Expenditures.

5eceapts WILL SaA away 9s-
hind Expenditures.
State Treasurer Sees No Way Out
But Increase the Levy or Reduce
Expenses All Around.
The fact has already been referred to
that the States finances are in such q
condition that extreme economy will
have to be practiced by the next
legislature, and even with further
investigation conditions show that
there will have to be an increased
levy or reduction in expenses some
where il ends are made to meet
The total appropriations in round
numbers amounted to Sl,l36,OOO.
On levy of 5 mills it is expected
that $780, 900 will be produced. The
other revenue will be about S25,OOO
from insurance and about $4,000
from fees from the Secretary OF
States efice which is large falling
off compared with the previous year
when the fees amounted to about
$4,000. This is explained by the
fact that last year there were an ex-
traordinary large number OF new
enterprises with big capital stocks.
While the number is equally as
large this year the total amount In
vested does not come up to what 1t
did previously. The total revenue
of the State then will be in the
neighborhood $e8s,0OO, making
deficit Of s153,0Oo.
To this must be added several
other sums as certain small appro-
priations such as interest on old
bonds, etc., were made year before
last, which are payable out OF this
years receipts.
Under these circumstances Treas
urer Jenning finds that he will be
compelled TO borrow the full amount
allowed by law, $4,000.
Last year he had only to borrow
$4,000, some of which must be
paid back by this years taxes. The
cash balance in the treasury year be-
fore last was sl65, 900 and last year
sos, 900.
Thus it will be seen that the fnan-
ces of the State have been gradually
going backward until now it comes
tobe 3 question whether the levy
ehsll be increased or not. It will be
O hard matter to find any particular
plan where expenses may be cut
down unless there is q general cut
down all around. There is one hope
ful feature about it that there have
heretofore been some extraordinary
expenses which will not be necessary
this year, and these were such as
State house appropriation, exposition
appropriation and the like. y
The increased pension appropria-
tion will undoubtedly stand as there
is no chance Of backward step
being taken in that direction.
Viewing it in the best light Treas
urer Jennings can see nothing favor
able in the outlook, and the legisla-
'ture will havs the most sericu'
problem that has confronted that
body in years to solve in satisfactory
manner to all the interests unsolved.
