pushing the canvass in this city for

the amount subscribed. He finds. he
says, that dozens Of men say they will
subscribe, but ask him to come back
later. This is hampering the work
badly and he urges that all try to say
exactly what they can give when he
calls. 1t is of great Importance for

TROUBLES IN HIGH SCHOOL
Boys Claim hat Principal at FIRE.
mont One of Their
Number.

FREMONT, Nab, Jan. e.--(Special)-For
the past few days there has been some
trouble at the Fremont High school which
eliminated this noon In what the high
school boys claim to be a malicious assault
on Edwin Smails by Principal Edgerton.
The boys were coming out OF the building
this noon when young Smails. who is a
senior. IT is claimed committed some slight
breach OF discipline. Edgerton caught the
boy by the hair. the boys assert. threw
him TO the floor and cuffed him. The prin-
cipal's version is that Smails struck an
other boy and he only cuffed him. The
boy says that he merely tapped a seat mate
on the shoulder, when Edgerton, without
saying a word, grabbed him by the hair
and threw him to the floor and struck him.
and that he made no resistance, as he could
not do anything under the circumstances
The boys father, William e. Smails, says
that he will thoroughly investigate the
affair and that some action will be brought
at once. Superintendent Laird is not in
clined to express himself further than to
say that the case will be Investigated. The
boys are much excited. Eve other boys
we're suspended this week, but were rein
stated. The trouble seems to be that Prin-
cipal Edgerton has lost control of the boys
and is unable to maintain discipline.

INCREASE IN STATES DEBT
Auditor Weston Again Points Out the
Constantly Growing Deficit
DUE ENTIRELY TO LACK OF REVENUE
Extremely Low Valuations Returned
for Purposes of Taxation f.
Responsible for the Pres
ent Condition.

LINCOLN. Jan. 9.-(specisl)-In his az
Eual report to the governor, Auditor
Weston again calls attention to the in
o~reasing floating debt OF the state. On this
topic he says:
On November 80. 1900, the floating interest
bearing DEBT Of the state amounted 20
8 .7N9. ASH. on November 80. 1902, 1t
amounted to N,9S9.S2S.63, an Increase Of
S2O6.S43.b2 This Increase will b. consider
ably augmented by the end OF the biennial
period io7 which the last legislative appro-
prisuo were made, viz. April 1, 1903. The
general fund appropriations made by the
Legislature of 1901 amounted to s2,355,971.7
for the blernium. The amount that can
be realized by the general fund from the
two state levies made during the bienniun
cannot exceed 1885,. 6S9.31. and will prob
ably be considerably less. The collections
from miscellaneous sources during the BIZ
ennium credited to the general fund will
approximate $500 O. Thus the total amount
that the general fund can realize from all
sources Will be approximately Sl.0iI, 639.5l.
As stated above, the appropriations amount
to s2,S55.9U.U, making a delCit OF Ai0S.2IS.45
for the biennium. That is to say, there will
be approximately stgS.2IS.46 more money
spent curing the two year. for which the
legislative appropriations were made tina
can be realized from miscellaneous sources
and from the two annual levies made, dur
ing these two years. To this amount should
I've added the interest paid on the floating
debt. That interest Is a charge against
the general fund and for the biannium Just
expired amounted to S144. .13. II this
amount be added to the probable deficit
above indicated 1t will make the general
the general fdnd receipts by $50. $3.50. This
has been the history Of state finances for
several years past. Successit g legislatures
have appropriated more money than could
possibly be realized from all sources COM
bined during the years for which the APP
D~ODTiatiOng were made.
