AUDITORS REPORT
SEVENTY TWO COUNTIES DRAW
MORE REVENUE THAN
THEY PAY.

Frankfort, Ky. Dec. s-stste Au-
ditor Gus Coulter has his annual re-
port in the hands of the printer, and it
will be ready by the time the legisla-
ture convenes. According to the re-
port the number Of counties which
contribute a revenue to the state are
only AZ. OF the 1l9 counties, 20 an
nuslly draw more from the treasury
than they put into it, The auditor
expresses the opinion that the present
tax rate Of 80 cents on the 500 will
be sufficient to meet the needs of the
state for the coming year. The bal
ance in the sinking fund is such that
the apportionment Of two cents instead
of five cents is regarded as sufficient
to meet the future debts of the state.
The report is very voluminous and
contains much data concerning the
various railroad and other corpora
tions Of the state. The total capital.
zation of corporations in the state is
$4,000, 900, as shown by the report.
An important recommendation in
the report is that the superintendent
for the general fund be cut to 90 cents
and with the cut on the sinking fund
apportionment be turned over to the
school fund. This change would give
an additional five aud one half cents
to the school fund.

pILLoNs RECORD is PROTESTED
Bonner Boys Believe That Perform
ance Of Maud S Should Stand.

New York, Dec. 20. Robert 7. and
Frederick Bonner. sons of the late
Robert Bonner have lodged with the
Secretary Of the American Trotting
Register Association protest against
the official recognition Of the record
made by G., K. G.. Billings mare
Lou Dillon, which, at the Glennville
track at Cleveland, last September
started to beat the record of 2:OS%
made by Robert Bonners great mare
Maud S., Is years before. Lou Dill
lon trotted the mile in 205.
Maud s. Made her record hitched
to an old-fashioned, high wheeled
sulky and was not aided In her per-
formance by any of the contrivances
now In use.
In the protest the Bonners assert:
First, wind shield preceded Lou
Dillon, but no wind shield was used
in Maud S. performance.
Second, according to our informa-
tion and belief, Lou Dillon was assis-
ted by sulky with ball bearing AK
les" The protest declares that the
ssulky used by Maud S. could have
ben secured from the Bonners for the
asking.

Chamber Lends
Aid to the Fair
Adopts Resolutions Favoring Ap.
preparation for the Portland
Exposition.

At last nights session Of the Cham
btr of Commerce communication was
read by Secretary Higgins from the
secretary of the Lewis and Clark Gem
tenial exposition. The letter treats Of
the proposed appropriation from the
national congress, and was intended to
excite interest IN the fair by the or
ganixatiou. The chamber. never allows
an opportunity to pass, by, without
speaking a good word for the exposition
ana after the letter was read last
night. the following resolution was
unanimously and enthusiastically ad-
opted:
''Whereas, We believe that the Lewis
ami Clark Centennial and American Pa
cific exposition and Oriental fair, to be
held In the city of Portland. Oregon, in
1905, will be of great service In pro-
noting and furthering the interests Of
the Pacific west and trade relations be-
tween the United States and the or
lent.
pwheras,we are also Of the the opin-
ioI, that this exposition is deserving OF
the assistance of the national govern
ment.
.Therefore, Resolved. That we hereby
respectfully request the delegation IN
congress from this state to use their
efforts towards having the national
congress appropriate adequate funds IN
aid of the said exposition, and also pro-
vide governmental exhibit thereat.'
All other business of the session was
strictly routine, and the attendance
was not very large, circumstance due
doubtless to the general relaxation OF
the season.

CHEAPER SUGAR NEXT SPRING.
Effect Of Cuban Reciprocity Treaty
Will Then Be Felt.

New York, Dec. 29.--Customs Off
cials this port are busy making COL
lections on sugar and tobacco stored In
the bonded warehouses, under the Gu
ban reciprocity treaty, which has Just
become effective. Under the new reg
ulations, there is a reduction OF 20 per
cent In the duty on sugar, tobacco and
other Cuban staples coming into the
United States. The Withdrawals of
cigars in bond after the new duty has
been paid were particularly heavy, as
most of the dealers had been carrying
light stocks in anticipation Of the
change and. were pretty @thoroughiy
cleaned out by the Christmas trade.
The sugar Withdrawals amounted to
about il, 900 tons. There was compar-
atively little sugar stored in. the bond
ed warehouses, and the importers did
not know previously that the sugar
could be withdrawn at the lower rate.
For that reason the great bulk OF raw.
sugar has been held back in Cuba
pending decision. The lower duties
probably will not result in cheaper
sugar until spring.
