STATE FINANCES.

State finances are IN really better
condition than was anticipated at the
time of the last session Of the legisla-
ture. Then it was thought by Treas
urer Collins, says the Pierre Dako-
tan, that it would be impossible to
produce cash enough to meet the re-
quirements of the appropriations, to
say nothing of reducing the floating
debt. The deficiency levy of two mills
made last years brought down the total
floating debt to something less than
S25O,OOO, a sun which in all probabil,
ity will not be increased before the as
sembling of the next Legislature.
The last Legislature provided for a
two mill deficiency levy in the year
1905, but made no provision for a de
~ficiency in 1906. Whether or not the
board will see fit to make a deficiency
levy this year has not been determined.
Formerly it was the practice for the
board to make the deficiency levy up
on its own motion whenever a defic-
iency existed but the Legislature of 1901
by statute provided for the levy of 1903
and since then it has been the practice
for the Legislature to take action in the
matter. The fact that the Legislature
provided for a two mill deficiency last
year probably does not preclude the
board from making a deficiency levy
this year, if it deems it prudent to do
SO. Such a levy for 1906 would clear
up all obligations and leave the state
entirely out of debt of every character
and with a fair working balance in the
treasury. We hope it can be done, and
then make it a capital crime for any
man to propose a state debt, or the
making of appropriations in excess of
the probable ordinary revenues.

POETIC JUSTICE.

Speaking of poetic justice, would it
not be the refinement Of this brand of
goods to see Hon. John H. Carroll, of
K~ingsbury county, elected speaker of
the house next winter? Mr.. Carroll was
the mar who introduced the primary
election bill in the house at the last
session, and to his efforts very large
ly may be attributed the success of
tina. measure in the house. Mr.. Car
roll is an experienced legislator and a
gentleman of the highest character.

JUDaE BANKER of the probate court
has issued a summons for John d.
r )ckefeller in connection with the
suit recently filed against the Stand
ard Oil company and Mr.. Rockefeller
in which it is alleged that the Valen-
tine antitrust law has been violated
by the Standard Oil and its subsidiary
company. The summons has been
turned e to Sheriff Groves, who
states that he will make service upon
Mr.. Rockefeller as soon as the latter
returns from Europe. Sheriff Groves
has gone to Cleveland to serve sum
mons upon the Standard Oil company
through one of its officers. Action
is taken against John d. Rockefeller
which, if successful, may lead to his
Imprisonment. The Standard Oil
company and Mr.. Rockefeller are
charged with c%onspiring to monopo-
lie and control the production, trans
~portation, refining, purchase and sale
of petroleum in Hancock county. In
the event that the state makes a case
against Mr.. Rockefeller he can be
imprisoned for a period of from six
months to a year in the workhouse at
Toledo and fined from $50 to $1,000
or both. However, the case would be
appealable to a higher court and ex-
perience shows that Holy Johnnie
has unlimited resources in that direc.
ton. Up to date Holy Johnnie has
succeeded in evading punishment for
infringement of the laws while many
a poor devil wears the stripes fol
some trivial violation which did not
effect society one-thousandth part. As
much as we would like to see Justice
melted out to Johnnie, we do not ex,
pect to see it in this world, and in the
next the common decent men will
probably be far removed from John.

THEY BATTLE WITH POLICE
Class of Citizens Who Think That Officers of the Law Must Be
 Resisted.

"Much of the trouble in life in certain channels could be avoided if men. wher placed under arrest. would cease to re. sist the officer. as il is commonly under stood. or the authority of the law. as ws understand it." said a headquarters de tective sergeant to Washington Stai man. There is an improvement to be noted in large cities in this respect. ana one does not see the many bloody battles between peace officers and men whom ii is sought to place under arrest as when I was boy running abou; the streets of Washington. One reason for this is the seciusion from public observation the patrol wagon affords the arrested party. The arresting officer. however. has no recourse other than to take ths person into custody. Arguments as ta the merits of the matter. therefore. are vorse than useless and are indeed harmful frequently to all concerned.
 T do not pslliaie in the least ofseious- nsss on the part of officers. and ii is to be regretted that some are inclined that

A Curio Exhibit.

A hostess casting about for some thing new in the way of entertainment, invited her guests to curiosity party telling each one 70 bring a curio oi some description. or an object having an interesting history. As each one arrived he was asked to deposit his article on table, when it was giver . number. When ali had assembled papers bearing as many numbers as there were articles were given out, each person being instructed to write down what he thought the object might be, of course emitting descrip- ton of the eurio which he had con- tributed.
 Then each person read his ideas, after that the real histories of the articles were given by the owners.
 The result was a most amusing and interesting evening.
 Here is a partial list of some of the curios at a party given recently: A piece of hard tack from a survivor of . shipwreck. concerning which the owner gave a vivid account of the ac- cident: a scrap from a rebel battle flag; candlestick from a New orleans antique shop; a paper bearing hierO- glyphics written by cannibsl chief. who Tagged the ship on which the posssssor was a passenger; a hand kercnief once belonging to Marie An toInette. and a glove once the proper ty of Adelina Patti.

A GRAVE DANGER.

To neglect backache. which is very often the only outward, sign that na- ture gives of serious trouble in the kidneys, is to give free reign to seri- lous disorders that may end in dropsy, ] gravel, diabetes or Brfght's disease. The kidneys filters of the blood lie tjust beneath the small of the back, on either side of the spine. As soon as lthere is any inflammation or songes- tion in the kidneys. you notice feel ing of uneasiness in the back. then that dull, throbbing pain, changing to sharp twinges when any sudden strain is brought upon the back. It is hard to straighten after stopping. you feel lame in the morning.
 There will be no danger at any time. however. if you begin using Doan's Kidney Pills as soon as you notice backache or any irregularity of the urine. This medicine is a compound of pure roots and herbs that act direct ly on the kidneys. curing. healing and strengthening them. It cures the cause and backache. headache, languOr dis appear.

A Camp Fire.

A Camp Ire.
 This military social may answer in churches that have a boys or young mems military organization, or if practical a local Grand Army post might be pressed into service. At any rate the idea is good one, and may be adapted to several purposes.
 Arrange the room with three small tents on one side, and three opposite. At one end have ah officers tent. Near the center of the room have a camp fire. with uniformed sentries keeping guard. There must be a fife and drum corps and the military com pany will arrive in uniform and make . grand entree. Sirg the old war songs and have beyy of pretty girls. dressed as Red Cross nurses, to serve the refreshments, which should pc regular army rations-coffee in tin cups. corn bread, hard tack, doughnuts, baked beans and pie.
 An amusing feature is push cart with huns. and man carrying yards and yards of wienerwurst and a pair of large shears to cut of the sausage,
 Another push cart bears box with . hole in it, the hand to be thrust in and hard-boiled egg drawn out; on each egg there is number; the guess are to be told 10 preserve these figures and late in the evening the an nouncement will be made that Nos. c and 13 have drawn prizes. These will consist of trifles to add to the fun, such as a sword. toy gun or military hatpin. There will be burlesque 'court-martial and wartime stories, while taps" from a bugle will close the evening after the singing of Tent ing To-Night On the Old Camp Ground"
