money in the treasury has been exhaust
ed and until about the middle Of May or
the first Of June, when the county pay.
menls an the state assessment will be
paid, all warrants will draw six per
cent interest. Beginning with Thur
day all warrants presented we're endors-

exoepts amounts under $50. In antici.
patton Of this state OF affairs in the
treasury, several brokers have been buy.
ing up warrants for the last two months.
Warrants are above par at present, as
the state paper lie considered better
investment than the usual gilt edge

Will Exchange
no More Passes

@. w. Bullen, Chairman Of the Execu-
tive Committee OF the Trunk Line Asso-
citation makes by authority of the Ex-
ecutive officers OF the Trunk Lines the
following sta,emeut:
The exchange OF passes between rail.
roads which began many years since in
very limited way, has grown to such
proportions as to have entirely outrun
its original purposes and had become 80
burdensome and unworksble, that at
sundry conferences of the Trunk Line
Presidents, continued from time TO time
during the past year, material reforms
in the matter had been unanimously
advocated: and at a final conference
held shortly before January 1st, 1902,
IL was unanimously and harmoniously
agreed between them, that exchanges o.
passes with other transportation COM
panies, should be discontinued after
December 81, 1901.
This agreement has gone into effect
and is being fully kept by all OF the
parties thereto the impression that has
been widely circulated that 1t was spe-
cially advocated or iustigated by, or that
any particular Trunk Line President ID
responsible for the inception or construc
ton Of the agreement or Of any of itt
terms is without the slightest formation
in fact.

Rnsso does not have to depend entirely
on his singing for success, for his acting
