a bonfire like that every two weeks until
the last bond on which interest has to
be paid is burned up.
The county commissioners yesterday
made thorough examination of the ac-
counts in the county treasurer's office
and, after adding up several long coli
umns of figures, they came to the con-
clusion that the accounts ST the Office
and Dan Boone are both all right. The
county treasurer has handled good deal
of money and under the splendid Patter-
son system of bookkeeping now in use
in the office, it was easily shown what
was done with every cent of the vast
amount.
The examination of the records showed
that during this year, up to October l.
County Treasurer Boone has received
S767 ,506l2 and that during that time he
has dsbursed S132 S90.34, and Mr.. Boone
showed that he had just that amount of
money in the banks designated as county
repositories on the first day of October.
1t is generally known that the general
fund of the county was over-checked
several years ago, for the reason that the
amount of taxes collected for that fund
was not sufficient TO pay the expenses of
the county. Last year this deficiency
was $4,000. and by a special act of the
Legislature the county commissioners were
authorized TO issue refunding bonds to
settle this deficiency. The bonds have
not vet been issued but the books show
that the present board has cut this short
age down several thousand dollars dur
ing the past year. II is estimated that
when the September claims are all paid
the deficiency VIII have been reduced 10

One hundred and twelve thousand dol

Sedgwick county have been paying in
terest went up in smoke yesterday in the
furnace at the county jail. The bonds
Were cromated and not even the ashes
were preserved.
Some time ago the county commission
ers concluded TO make use of some of the
sinking fund. which was doing nobody
any particular good, and they went on
the market and bought $4,000 worth Of
bonds issued TO build The new court house
and $4,000. worth of the bonds issued TO
aid in the construction Of the Rock Island
railway. These were the bonds destroyed
yesterday.
The purchase OF these bonds stopped
the interest. and therefore was a saving
t. the people. The commissioners had
them cancelled on The county records
and then they marched over 10 the county
Jail and stacked them up in the fur
mace, set fire 20 them and they disap-
peared. 1t almost seemed a pity to burn
them. for they were very pretty. printed

NO ANSWER FROM THE ALLIES.
Representatives of the Powers and
Mr.. Bowen Are Waiting.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 4.-Every effort is
making by the representatives of the allies
here to secure an early settlement OF the
Venezuelan dispute without referring 1t to
The Hague. In this effort the Italian and
British ambassadors and the German min
lister. Baron Speck Won Sternberg, are re-
ceiving the Endorsement of Mr.. Bowen as
well as the cordial approval of the govern
ment OF the United States. IL Is understood
the President, while in no way connected
with the negotiations. is personally in favor
of a final agreement being reached at
Washington. This fact. IL is believed will
have an important bearing the decision
of the British and German foreign Offices
The British ambassador and the German
minister have both cabled TO their govern
ments the fact that Mr.. Bowen has ex-
pressed his Willingness to give the allies
preferential treatment for three months in
order that they may emerge from the con-
troversy without injury 10 their honor.
The allies have not yet answered the last
representations of their ENJOYS here urg-
ing an acceptance of this plan. Advices
reached here from Berlin this afternoon
of an important nature. but assurances are
given that they were sent prior to the sub
mission of the last proposition and affected
only a detail of the controversy. Their
purport was not discouraging. 1t may be
some days yet before a final answer reaches
Washington. but all the negotiators feel
hopeful of a successful outcome

bassy to-day the three months proposition
