Austria is having trouble with a
sect calling themselves "Naza-

have no regular church organiza-

Where they clash with the authori-

Senator Hanna voted for the oleo-

The increase in the last item is
accounted for by the transfer OF
over 50, 500 from the county trustee
to the city treasury. In addition
to this item there is now due on

Mayor Walker continued by say
ing that he favored paying as large
a part of the debt as possible, and
made an approximate of about
$500, including small accounts.
Mr.. Greer agreed that the amount
should be fixed. He apprehended
no trouble about it. The banks
had often extended the courtesy of
small overdraft, and would, no
doubt, do so again.
Mr.. Polk thought the laboring
debt should be paid first.
