City park fund, s6s4.41 increased to S..
S41.05, or s6,206.64.
Ward funds, balance due increased from
$30,6S3.S5 to s56,242.S9, or $25,559.O4
Total and net shortage increase for all
funds, except school and sinking fund
which do not appear in ledger and trial
balance account, increased from 1857
ss615 on Feb. % to s42s, 1858 on March
10, a net increase of $61,239.78 in the
Haugan shortage from one days work.
The above balances due the various
funds by lHaugan on Feb. % and March
10, respectively, taken from the trial bal
ance book, are verified by the entries IN
journal &C. all of which bear the date
of March 10.
In other words, seven weeks after Hau-
gan's affairs became SO notorious that ne
was compelled to resign, seven days after
his successor, G. S. Hubert, was elected
to the office, and even after the latter's
bond had been approved and Hubert was
duly qualified as city treasurer, A. c.
Haugan, If the books of the city controller
are to be believed, appropriated $4,000
net, taking $685. 81 due the general fund,
$5,6S6 due the permanent Improvement
fund, $2,O95 due the waterworks fund,
1924 due the revolving fund, $6,2O6 due
the park fund, and about $4,000 due the
various ward funds-thereby In one day,
after he had ceased to be city treasurer,
being permitted to receive and appropriate
the sum Of $4,000.
His condition was at this time known to
all of his official associates, and had been
| for many weeks, If not months.
Two expert reports thereon had been
| made to the city council.
The controllers office had made an in
vesttgation of the situation for report to
| the council, and its books told the story.
Altho the item of $5,35603, collected
from municipal court fees and licenses,
came directly to the city treasurer without

A Pertinent Question.
Consequently, the s36, 7O5 of the January
tax settlement and the $3S,610 of the delin-
! quent tax settlement, amounting to over
/ $75,0 00 were turned over to Haugan by
/ the controllers office on March 10, accord

knowledge of the facts and by deliberate

relation of the controllers and treasurer
offices, 1t can scarcely be supposed that

ignorant of the fact that Hubert was
elected a week before and was duly quail

ELECTION DAY IN GERMANY.

Berlin, June 16.-The polling in the eichstag
elections began at 10 o'clock this morning and
proceeded quickly under the new modified Aus

Berlin the balloting was not accompanied by the
least disorder, even in the so-called slum pre-

election tactics SO often practiced in Germany,
of sending voters from the strong districts,
where they are not needed, to the doubtful ones.

Proverbs

"When the butter won't
come put a penny in the
churn," is an old time dairy
proverb. 1t often seems to
work though no one has ever
told why.
When mothers are worried
because the children do not
gain strength and flesh we
say give them SCOTS Emul-
sion.
1t is like the penny in the
milk because it works and
because there is something
astonishing about it.
SCOTS Emulsion is simply
a milk of pure cod liver oil
with some hypophosphites
especially prepared for delicate
stomachs.
Children take to it naturally
because they like the taste
and the remedy takes just as
naturally to the children be-
cause it is SO perfectly adapted
to their wants.
For all weak and pale and
thin children SCOTS Emulsion
is the most satisfactory treat
ment.

ture will dO--not a blt-but 1t IS
very evident that there will be
several important measures be-
fore the legislators for their con-
sideration.
1t is natural, to be sure, that
/ the usual amount of anti trust
bills will make their appearance
/ 1t is also a safe guess to say that
no bill doing any serious damage
to the trusts will become a law,
Somehow or other the legisla-
lures deal gently with these mon
eyed, fleece-lined concerns. To
say it is merely a habit they
have fallen into is placing a char
titable construction on the matter,
| but this paper would not be quick
to discredit the man who would
assign some less complimentary
reason why the law makers fail to
effect anti trust legislation. Then
the members of the next general
assembly will be called upon to
dc something or ring off In the
matter Of Arkansas new capitol
building. A new state house has
been almost an imperative need
for many years, and but for the
ouabbling Of buncombe- manufac-
turing, multi demagogue poll
ticians one might now be we'll
under way. 1t is our opinion
that the next body Of men who

will pass an act providing for the
erection Of a new capitol build
! ing; an act that will insure the
completion of the building. The
next legislature will also consider
the advisability of eElarging the
state lunatic asylum at Little
Rock or building branch asylum
at some other point in the state
One or the other should be done.
1t is estimated that there are now
four hundred insane people in the
state for whom there is no room
in the present asylum. The state
of Arkansas is able and willing
to care for these unfortunates in
a proper way, and the next gem
eral assembly will doubtless pro-
vide towards this end. OF course
there will be tie usual mass du-
ring the next session-things
have been pointing mussward for
some months. Gov. Davis will
have a few carefully planned
grievances to unwind in regard

come. The people are becoming
more and more used to such
things, and feel really uncom-
Portable without these enlivening
proceedings. There is one thing
we feel sure a vast majority of
the people Of the state would like
to see happen, and that is moth
ing greater nor less than the
kicking Of the office of railroad
commissioner into the Arkansas
river. The railroad commission
is greasy-h handed fraud. How
ever, we will accept few small
bets that the old thing is not dis
turbed. We have observed that
the railroad commission has a
stand-in with the representatives
of the people. There will be
many things Of interest come up
during the next session. The
poor old, uncomplaining digest
will be amended literally; prob
ably to such an extent that the
attorney and counsellor who
compiled it would not recognize
it only after the most searching
examination. The matter of fix
