Cash in the City Treasury May Soon
Be Exhausted.
Councils LiberaIIty May Have to Be
Checked Somewhat.
Drain On the Strong Box Too Severe
Altogether.
Cash May Not Hold Out Until the Set
Element In March.
From Saturdays Daily.


The report of City Treasurer Throdahl
for September shows that the cash bal
ance on hand at the end of the month
had fallen to Sl4,l5020, from $23,,S0l27
on the first day of the month. Expendi-
lures of all kinds have been heavy, and
the council is probably hardly aware
of how fast it is disposing of the funds,
or it wouk call halt on expenditures.
Next month the treasury will receive
several thousand dollars from taxes and
water rents. but aside from this and an
occasional LIQUOR license there will be lit
tie income before the taxes are distribut-
ed next March. The fixed expenditures
of the city, together with the outstanding
accounts that must be paid, will probab-
ly eat up every dollar that the treasury
now has and all that it will receive until
that time. Indeed, it will be fortunate
if deficit does not occur. The present
council has reduced the floating debt
scarcely any, while it has been so liber-
al in its expenditures as to cause COM
ment.
The receipts last month were $1,000
from liquor licenses, Sl2S,lO from fines
and fees, $2l5 from plants sold, s97 re-
funded, $3O9.l3 from water rents, $ll.2O
for water meter and $3.50 for hauling
rock, total of Sl,5550S.
The expenditures for the month were
Sl2,447.63. At the same rate, there will
be nothing in the treasury in a few
weeks.

of 100000 men, more or less, in the
army could not impose upon my coun-
try the burden of putting 100000 more
men into active service at a given mo-
ment.'
In treating of the evils of the French
princes in 1886, De Blowitz quotes an
extended statement made to the author
at the time by the Count de Paris. De
Blowitz deplored the action of the gov
eminent, urging that exile placed the
claimants to the throne in the best pc.
sition that they could wish-that of
being able to conspire at their ease.
An intensely dramatic story is told
which relates the circumstances under
which Due de Cases, minister of for
eign affairs, heard that Lord Derby had
bought 100000 shares of Suez stock
which gave England control of the canal.
1t was in 1875 and De Blowitz writes
that he was at the house of the minis
ter watching him play game of bill
lizards with a lady. Opening the
pocket, records De Blowitz, 'the duke
began to read one of the kilograms.
Suddenly he became red, then pale and
wiped his temples, moist with sweat.
Then, as if maddened, with an irresistible
movement, he took the billiard cue, which
he had put down, struck it on the rim of
the table, broke it across his knee and
threw the bits into the fire. The per-
sons present, it may be imagined, were
in great state of mind. Suddenly ap
preaching me, his teeth set with anger,
he said: DO you know what 1 have
just heard? Derby has just bought 200,
600 Suez shares from Ismail, while every
possible effort has been made to conceal
from us, not only the negotiations, but
even Ismail's intention of selling them
It's an infamy, it's England putting her
hand on the isthmus of Suez, and my
personal failure has in no way retarded
the act I authorize you to say what
you have just seen. I even beg you to
say it, and to add that Lord Derby will
have to pay for that And he added,
half talking to himself, Yes, I swear
that he shall pay for it.'''

indiscreet minister, and when they met

From Saturdays Daily.
The Northwestern Telephone Exchange
company has leased five rooms on the
second floor of the Glass block, and will
move its local offices there as soon as
they can be placed in readiness. This
will give it 5000 square feet of floor
space, and it will not be nearly so
cramped for room as now.
The work of equipping the new rooms
has already commenced, and a common
battery of center energy system will be
put in. This is the same as now in use
which does away with the necessity for
ringing to get central. This will be ready
to operate when the offices are moved,
and it will also allow for the growth in
the future of the local service.
The Northwestern company also in
tends to place its wires underground in
the center of the city this fall if the
council will grant it the necessary per-
mission at the next meeting of the coun-
ell.
