THE counTY's FINANCES.
Treasurer Menge's Annual State-
ment Submitted at the Recent
Meeting Of Supervisors.

According to the report OF County
Treasurer w. T. Menge it required
$61, 100. go to transact the business
of the county for the fiscal year
ending September 30, 1902, as
against $58, ,521.42 for the preceding
year. Cash on hand Oct. 1, 1902,
amounted to $6,2l3.48. Orders
allowed by the supervisors ag-
gregated for the year $14,579.91,
while the board of supervisors for
the previous year allowed the sum
of $26, 1860, over $1,000 more.
The great decrease in supervisors
orders this year is due mostly to
the fact that there were no big
bills contracted on account OF small
pox as during the winter OF 19O0-N.
1t cost the county over $500 for
the support OF the poor during the
year. The sum Of $669.50 wa;

Nominee for Sheriff.

Octave Sicotte, the nominee for
sheriff of Baraga county on the Re7
publican ticket, was born in Mon
treal, Canada, in 1868, and came to
the states in 1872. He resided in
Marquette four years and then came
to L'Anse, where he has since re-
sided. At the age Of fifteen years
he started to learn the blacksmith
trade, and at the present time is en-
gagged in that business. When
twenty-one years of age his father
and mother died within nine months
time, leaving him with six children

ELECTION PRECINCTS
Attorney General Oren Says
Each is an Election Dis
trict Unto Itself.

The attorney general has decided
that separate ballots should be pro-
vided for each OF the constitutional
amendments to be voted on at the
coming election, and that the ballots
should be numbered for each voting
precinct, beginning at No. /, in
stead of the numbers being continu-
Gus for all the voting precincts OF
the county.
1t is understood that in some of
the counties of the state the ballots
are already printed, both amend
ments being placed on one ballot.
II they are voted in this manner, it
is believed the courts will not order
them thrown out for such an irreg-
ularity.
The attorney general says for the
benefit of election inspectors that
each precinct is separate election
district in the meaning OF the stat
ute, and that ballots in each pre-
cinct must, therefore, be numbered
separately. A circular Of genera
instructions to inspectors will be
issued.

reasonably be expected to cut some

As to What She Really Means in the
Situation.

Washington. Dec. 19.-It was learned,
Thursday, that France has addressed a
note to her charge d'affaires at Caracas
for submission to the Venezuelan gov
crnment. stating the proposition she
will maintain with reference to claims
of her citizens against Venezuela.
France makes a distinction between
claims arising before Castro's assump-
ton of power and those arising since.
The claims of France prior to Castro's
administration it is agreed to be settled
by arbitration.
The claims arising since Castro be
came President are to be adjusted by
the French minister at Caracas, and
proper ministerial officers of Venezuela
In the note sent to Caracas France
takes the position that claims arising
since 1899. when Castro became Presi-
dent should have as favorable treat
ment as is given to claims of Germany
Great Britain and other countries
As to claims prior to 1899 France says
they shall be met accordingly to the
most favored nation treaty clause. and
he met out of the customs receipts. The
note is courteous but firm. France, it
is announced. will make no demonstra-
ton against Venezuela.
