WITH GOOD SURPLUS
MUNICIPALITY WILL CLOSE THE
YEAR.
WHERE MONEY WILL GO,
FINANCE COMMITTEE FIGURES ON
SURPLUS OF AT LEAST $4,000.

When Last Year Ended There Was
Than Likely That the Increase
Over That Amount VIII BE More
Than -S15 ,OOO-u Is Not Believed
That All of the Departments VIII
Go to the Limit of Their ApprOpri-
atiOns-Fire Department the Only
One Overdrawn and 1t Wants More
Money for Next Ycar-Brewery Tax
the Only One Likely to Re Increas-
ed-Tax Rate VIII Probably Re-
main the Same and Money VIII De
Spent for Paving streets and Buy
ing Lands-Much More Street Paw
ing to BE Done.
The financial condition of the city is
excellent and Chairman James NJ. Dix
on of the Finance Committee of Coun-
ell expects to show a balance of at
least $4,000 at the close of the year.
This balance is figured on upon the
theory that every department will
spend it's entire appropriation. 1t is
believed, however, that some of the de-
partments will have something over
and in this event the city treasury will
be even healthier. At the close Of
last year a balance was shown of S.,
600. Money has been judiciously spent
during the present year and for this
reason the Finance Committees report
will probably show an excellent condi-
ton of affairs.
The increased valuation of taxable
property can almost always be figured
on at $4,000 a year. So far as Is
known there will be no increase in any
specific tax, except that on breweries
and the agents or representatives of
breweries. As was exclusively stated
in the Morning News, there is some
likelihood of an increase in this tax
from $500 to $1,000
Mayor Myers yesterday addressed
letters to the chairman of the various
committees of Council asking that es-
Inmates from the several departments
be handed in not later than Dec. 5. 1t
is believed that most of the depart
ments will receive about the same ap-
preparation granted for this year. The
Fire Department is said to be the only
one that has overdrawn and the Fire
Committee will urge upon Council the
necessity of allowing more next year.
member of the board said that in
his opinion very much more money
will be expended for street paving DUR
ing the coming year. The appropria-
ton for 1902 was $25, 900 and the alder
man who was talking declared that he
can see no reason why the amount
should not be doubled In his opinion
this is the most important thing to be
done. While there could be Further
reduction in the tax rate ii will prob
ably remain at $1.45. less 10 per cent.
Street paving and the purchasing of
land for the opening OF streets will
probably get the bulk of the surplus.

So says Mrs. Josie Irwin, Of
325 So. College ST., Nashville,
Tenn, of Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable COMPOUND.

Never in the history of medicine has
the demand for one particular remedy
for female diseases equalled that at
tanned by Lydia T.. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound, and never
during the lifetime of this wonderful
medicine has the demand for it been
SO great as it is to-day.
From the Atlantic to the Pacific,
and throughout the length and breadth
of this great continent come the glad
tidings of woman's sufferings relieved
by it, and thousands upon thousands
of letters are pouring in from grateful
women saying that it win and posi-

female complaints.
Mrs. Pinkham invites all wO-

AT THE THEATER

Leslie Morosco and Miss Leila
Shaw in DuSouchets comedy, "The
Man From Mexico" played to fair
sized audiences at the matinee yester-
day and last night.
The piece is very cleverly construct
ed. the complications constantly aris-
ing are amusing and the dialogue is
bright and witty. Were it put on in
the proper style it would prove one of
the most entertaining of comedies.
Leslie Morosco plays the title part,
The Man From Mexico, and while
he does not get out of the part all
that the authors bright repartee has
given 1t, yet his work, on the whole
is fairly good.
Miss Leila Shaw is a very pretty
Clementina, and her dancing in the
third act was very graceful
The supporting company, with the
exception of Edward Warren, as Col.
Majors, and Geo. S. Fischer as Rich
ard Danton was weak and did not
lend to the characters the portrayals
that would have added so much to a
satisfactory production of the play.

would, nowadays, be incomplete: pref

age, with talent. So when Miss Syl-

DIST ORS.

teens.
An anna teur scientist who found all
that is left of the participants of the
tragedy, which proves that Cupid is
old enough to be grown up and not
to be, was first attracted to the par.
ticular cliff by the sight of skeleton
in seemingly inaccessible place. Be-
ing equipped with all the appliances
for cliff climbing, he determined to
make an attempt to reach the spot,
and after two days hard work he was
amply rewarded for his pains. 1t was
shelf where no modern scientist or
relic hunter had ever trod. At In
tervals of twenty yards or more lay
the remains of skeletons. Some were
almost annihilated and others were
better preserved. Following the path
the Cliff Dwellers had apparently been
travelling When fate overlook Them the
explorer came to cliff dwelling but
the door or entrance was barred by
big stone. A thrill of awe came over
| him when he discovered the stone had
been placed in position by some one
on the inside, and from that day had
never been removed.
Murders of an Ancient Day.
With a hammer and a drill he at
length succeeded in breaking the stone
at the door, and on the inside he
! found two skeletons in a state of ex-
cellent preservation. 1t was apparent
from the relative sizes that one was
once a man and the other had been
| a woman. With faces close to the
stone floor and lying with their heads
! toward the door, the grim relics were
close together, and one bony arm of
| the woman lay across the neck Of the
| man.
Closer examination of the dwelling
revealed the fact that it had once been
| supplied with water by a small ditch
running from the main reservoir af-
! ter the manner apparent in so many
| of the Cliff Dwellers homes. Trac-
! ing this ditch, the Eastern savant
| found where the pursuers of the couple
had shut off the water supply.
| After a further inspection and TAX
| ing into consideration many little cir
| cumstances which he is to embody
| in report to a scientific journal, the
| Fastener came to the positive con-
| clusion that the skeletons were those
of a young couple who fled together,
and who had been pursued doubtless,
| by the relatives of the woman 1t is
! Harrit's theory that the avengers
waited outside until another elan
! came along, when a battle took place.
! This is shown by one crushed skull
| among the skeletons lying outside the
dwelling. The others there were so
crumbled that no inference could be
drawn from their appearance. The
skulls of the couple on the inside of
| the cave were intact, their bones be-
! ing much better preserved on account
| of shelter.

Significant Finds.

Harrit believes that some bold lover
stole bride and that upon being pur-
sued he took refuge in the cave with
the barred door. When his friends
came to his rescue. it was too late.
and they left him and his sweetheart
together, to form an object lesson for
another race of people ages after the
romantic tragedy.
MIR. Deane, the well-known author
ity on Cliff Dwellers, took great inter

4 chm Dwellers show that the people
met their fate by the same awful
cataelysn. as the faces are close to thu
ground, as If seeking to obtain a breath
of unpolluted air
Mr.. Deane's recent trip to the cliff
dwellings of Southeastern Colorado
has resulted in the discovery that the
Cliff Dwellers existed prior to the gla-
cial period. He has sent to the Smith
sonian Institution many specimens
which show the blending Of clay and
lava. one piece of rock has seven ears
or petrifed corn, and in another tropi-
cal vegetation is petrihed. The sig

Is great, because IL proves the coun-
