OF the caves and of what they con

being but ten feet high but the area

to have visited heaven.
The remarkable feature Is that she
has told many persons with whom she
is not acquainted, about their dead rel
atives, whom she did not know, and
some of whom had never been In Kala-
mazoo. One man she claims to have
talked with has been dead over forty
years.
Mary describes heaven graphically.
She says
Il cannot tell just what the sensa-
ton is like. The frances Just strike me

Miss Kidder's frances began a week

COLORADO STATE
CAPITAL AFFAIRS
Large Deficit Prob able.

The deficit in the general fund of the
state at the close of the present bien-
NAL term, November 80, 1904, will be
1897 ,251 .25, according to the estimate
made by State Auditor Holmberg at
the commencement Of the new fiscal
year on December LIST.
This is the sum that the total appro-
preparations will exceed the estimated
income for the two years, and as 1t
will be the policy of the administration
from this time on to shave certain APP
preparations and disallow Others in
their entirety. the deficit will, there
fore. not be an actual debt against the
state
The general fund of the state should
not be confused with the military fund
or the cost of maintaining troops in the
field. That money Is raised through
certificates of Indebtedness which must
be met by bond issue authorized by
n future Legislature. There is no limit
to the amount of money that may be
expended for quelling riot or insurrec-
ton.
Auditor Holmberg announces that
maintenance appropriations and i'm
provement appropriations in the sec
ohu CidsS VIII ne pau III tne OTueT III
which the various bills became laws.
Among the appropriations that will be
left out in the cold If this rule prevails
will he the $2S0.0O0 authorized for the
erection of new buildings at the State
Insane Asylum.
In the third class II is probable that
only the maintenance appropriation for
the Soldiers Home can be paid.
The Worlds Fair appropriation is
supposed to go In the fourth class, but
arrangements may be made for secur-
ing at least part of the money for ex-
hibit purposes. The salaries of fair
board employees will not suffer, as they
will be included in the first class APP
preparation list. which provides for the
payment of all salaries and expenses of
the state government outside of the in
situations. The penal institutions will
get all of their appropriations, but the
charitable and educational will be lin
tied to their actual running expenses
with all improvements cut out.
