APPALLING EXTRAVAGANCE

The annual report Of City Treasurer
Shaw presented to the council last
night shows that during the fiscal
year that ended on June Goth, the dis
bursements of the Hunt administra-
ton were $14S.4392S. while the re-
ceipts were only $134,60923. Thus it
will be seen that the expenditures
were nearly $4,000 more than the re
ceipts. The only reason that there is
not a deficit is because there was
SIT .O00 in cash on hand to start with
at the beginning Of the year. The
balance of cash on hand at the end
Of the year was $3,2S0.96.
This showing is eloquent proof OF
all the Statesman has said about the
reckless extravaganza of the present
administration. The highest amount
of money that Mayor BetZ' admins
tratiOn ever had to handle from city
revenues was about $4,000 Without
the water revenues the Hunt admins
tratiOn last year took in $50 ,602. SO.
during the last fiscal year about
$4,000 in water revenues. The water
revenues have been expended under
the direction of the water committee
and most of the items of disburse-
ment have never come before the
open meeting of the council.
When the taxpayers consider the
magnitude Of the revenues now being
expended under the direction Of a
mayor and council who are not re
quired to give bonds for the faithful
discharge of their duties. it will be
seen how important it is that only
true men be put in charge of the city's
finances
Under the present administration
the tax rate is higher than it ever was
before. 1t is now 14.2 mills During
the greater part of the Betz adminis-
tratiOn it was only 10 mills Besides
the increased revenue from higher
taxation, the Hunt administration is
receiving about ten thousand dollars
more every year from saloon licenses
and much more from other licenses.
Compared with the enormous rev
enues of the city the municipal i'm
provements that have been made dur
ing the last year are insignificant
Most of the streets are still in a
wretched condition and not a block OF
pavement has been laid. The most
notable expenditure in the line OF
Improvement has been a $3.50 street
roller, which was not needed. as the
old roller properly weighted dowr
will do just as good service
Much more might be said in criri.

the citys affairs, but there is enough
presented here to prove that the al
ministration of Mayor Hunt has beer

SELLS & DOWNS CIRCUS.
Clever Execution of Dangerous
Feats Very Interesting.

A large number of the difficult acts
seen with the Grea. Sells and Downs
show are in danger OF not being Ap-
preciated because OF the ease with
which they are performed. One of
the chief difficulties that. coDfronts a
manager of big circus like the Sells
and Downs shows, is the scarcity of
acrobatic equestriennes.
The way to the pinnacle of fame in
circus ring is difficult and discourag-
ing. OF the girls who essay the feats
of clevor rider not one in thousand
succeed. and only one in hundred of
| those who succeed ever attain prom :.
nence. Prominent in the coterie of
equestrienne celebrities with the great
Sells and Downs shows is Miss Lulu
Davenport. In point Of poise, grace,
dash and daring agility her riding
simply deties all description. Nothing
she does looks difficult, nor appears.
indeed to require effort She is Sc
cure and as much at home in her un-
stable position on the heaving, bound
ing back of galloping horse. as is
a society belle ON ball room floor.
The cleverness of Miss Davenport
deceives the public, and makes it
look easy. Any spectator who at.
tempts OF initiate the work of this
celebrity will soon have SUCH delu-
sion dispelled from their mind The
same thing may be said Of all the
hundreds of performers with the great
Sells and Downs show. Every act is
so cleverly, carefully and quickly ex-
ecuted that the danger of the act is
not apparent. and this fact oyercom es
the sensational tendency which is
distasteful to many.
The only fault with the great Sells
and Downs shows is that it has too
much going on at the same time, but
the arrangement Of the apparatus,
paraphernalia and seats is such that
everyone can see "A great deal more aud
get more satisfaction out of its perfor-
nance than out OF the ordinary show.
The Great Sells and Downs shows
will exhibit for one day only, in Flor
ence, June l2.

some of our farmers. He is not from
the famine district of Sweden but he
says that they had an extremely poor
crop around his home, the poorest for
many years.
DR.. G. E. Mclaughlin of Willmar
was called out to attend George Nary
last Wednesday, who was seriously

Rev. N. Frykman OF Salem was in
attendance at twentieth anniversary
meetings at the Swedish Mission
church at Willmar last week. A num-
Der OF other Mamre people also at
tended.
On account of the excess of rain last
week Swan Lake is about the largest
it has ever been. Joseph Halldin, who
lives on peninsula extending out in
to Swan Lake, is pretty near hemmed
in by water. While referring to his
farm we would often hear people say
"Joseph pa 6a' and of late it did not
seem very appropriate to do so, but
now it fits to perfection.
A choir will be inaugurated at Pen
mock in the near future. It will be un-
der the direct management of Miss
Hilna johnson, the efficient music
teacher of St. Johns, which in itself
proves that it will no doubt be a sue
cess. A number of Mamre young peo-
pie will become members. We wish
them all good success and hope they
will give public exhibition of their
musical and vocal powers some time
during the spring and summer, to
which the writer hopes to be invited.
