Stat. treasurer,s Report.

State Treasurer Newton on Sept.
4th transmitted to Governor Peabody
his financial report for the semi-an-
nual biennial period, ending August 81.
1t shows that up to September list the
different state departments had prac-
tically used all of the funds aprro-
priated for their use during the year. or
all the funds there was any likelihood
of their getting, owing to the deficit in
the revenues.
The board of health. the humane
society and practically all of the minor
departments have absolutely no funds
at their disposal for the expenses of
the next four months. The executive
departments are in nearly as bad
position.
The decrease in the total valuation
of state property will hardly exceed
$17.OOO,O0O, II it is that much, Alb
stracts OF assessments have been filed
in the auditors office from forty-seyen
of the fifty-nine counties. and. al
though practically all OF them show a
slight decrease, the total Is not nearly
half of what 1t was estimated by Audi
tor Holmberg week ago.
AT that time less than forty counties
had been heard from. and. basing his
calculations on what had already come
in. Mr.. Holmberg said that the total
valuation of the property would prob
ably be about $300.000.O00. instead of
the $35S,O0O,OO0 on which they esti-
mated.
The forty-seven counties that have
sent in their abstracts show a total of
$232 ,503,S11. If the remaining twelve
counties show even the same valuation
as last year. which was little more
than $104,596. 1863, the total valuation
of the state will run up to 1887 ,O99. .974.
leaving a shortage of $16,902,527.

the penitentiary from Arapahoe county
in September, 1902, for the reception
of stolen goods, was pardoned on the
4th inst by the state board OF par
dons. Florence Thurman, who stole
the goods, was sent to the peniten-
tiary for the offense and served her
time of one year. AS soon as she was
out she began to circulate the story
that Feenan was not to blame. This
fact was presented to the board or
pardons with such force that 1t de-
cided to pardon the'man
John Heiman had his sentence COM
muted to three years from ten. Evil

sentenced because of the passing of
5O-cent counterfeit pieces

was in the first ward between Mr..
Olson and Mr.. Gutter for alderman
from that ward, Both received 81
votes and she tie will have t. be

A rlodern Fable.
WITHOUT ADE.

Once upon Time an Agent who
had some Lovely Stock for sale hap.
pened to Drop In on quiet, al
though beautiful, Little City. Now,
as it happens, this Little City has
been worked often before by these
Sellers of Gilt Edged Stocks, but he
VOTED nit of it. (Here the Plot
thickens) And so the Unfortunate
Individual started QUO with his Secur-
tiles and Gladstone Nit to dispose
of his goods to those who wanted a
Sure Thing which would make them
Millionaires While you Wait. Un
fortunately the first citizen spoken to
by the Agent had Been There before
Indeed he had his Front Parlor pap
cred with stock he had paid Fancy
Prices for and then set aud waited
for the Really Mazuma to Hop into
his old sack. And 40 when the Pro
moter extended the Good Word and
mentioned in an Off Hand way that
he had some Lovely merchandise for
sale in the way of stock in company
organized to manufacture Shooting
Stars, the Citizen fell on him with a
mighty swat. Then Others came
who had also Been There Before and
they, too, got in their Dirty Work
and Boosted the Agent out of The,
Precincts.
Moral: Although Sucker is said
to be born every Minute, not.many of
them are born Over again.
Second Lesson: When you trv to

PARENTS CARELESS.
SCHOOL CHILDREN EXPOSED TO
CONTAGIoN.
School Board Appoints Truant, Of
flcer to Look After Children
not In School and Sends Circus
lar on Contagious Diseases to
Parents.

AT the meeting of the school board
on Monday night, the matter o.
getting in the school children who
are not now attending, and of stop
ping the use of cigarettes by the
school boys was discussed, and it was
decided to elect truant officer, whose
duty it should be to look up children
who are on the street during school
hours, and also to look after the boys
who are smoking cigarettes. Stanley
Ryan was appointed IS such officer
for the balance of this year. Parents
who keep children out of school are
as likely to hear from the officer az
boys who play truant and smoke
cigarettes.
Another matter of Importance was
the carIessness of some parents in
sending children to school when
other members of the family have
suspicious symptoms of contagious
disease. Thus if a child is coming
down with some diaease and the
other children are sent to school, the
whole school may be exposed to the
disease Only few cases of this
kind would necessitate the closing of
the schools.
After discussing the matter, the
board referred it to the Board Of
Health, who issued the following
uotice:- -
In view of the fact Of there being
contagious diseases in the city of
Morris, MINI, and for the protection
of the public schools of this city: and
the public in general, your attention
IS called to Section 26, Chapter z132
Of the General Laws of the state Of
Minnesota, which reads.
"That no principal, Superintendent,
or teacher of any school and no par
ent, master, or guardian of any child,
or minor, having the power and
authority to prevent, shall permit any
child or minor having scarlet fever,
diphtheria, small pox or any danger
Gus, infectious or contagious desease,
or any child residing in any house, in
which any such desease exist or has
recently existed to attend ant public
or private school until the board of
health of the town, village, borough
or city shall have given it permission
therefor: nor in any manner to be
exposed or to needless
~ expose to the taking or the iufec-
tion of any contagious disease" In
violation of which there is a penalty
of fine or imprisonment or both.
By Order of the Board of Health,
CHAs. E. GAME, M. D.,
Chairman.
