OF Revenue and Will Have To

CONSIDERATION OF BUDGET
Finance Committee Will Soon
Take Up Work i'll Earnest.
Some Of the Demands.

The work of making up the budget LOT
the city for the ensuing fiscal year begin
ming February 1st. Will soon be taken up
in earnest by the Finance Committee.
Already the Police Department, the ERE
Department and the schools have forinu-
lated or are making UP their drafts upon
tho budget, and 1t Is evident that iar
moro will be asked FOR various purposes
than can be appropriated with the funds
available. Many. perhaps, do not appre-
aiate the fact that the Finance Commit
tee is limited in the amount appropriated
by the sum available for all purposes, and
that this in turn is dependent upon the
amount derived In revenue from dinerent
sources. 1t would be a mathematical ana
II physical impossibllty to do everything
that is asked by all causes and supplants.
When the budget was made up last year
the sum available for all purposes was
s22O6,0O0. but before the year closed S,29l.-
s40.93 had been appropriated Many emer-
gency needs arose from time to time, one
of the largest being that involved In the
expenditure for the Fair Grounds. for
which no provision had been made In
the budget.

is made by assessors appointed for the

Bismarck daily tribune. [volume] (Bismarck, Dakota [N.D.]) 1881-1916, 1907-01-23
Fair Warninr !,

An old time English barrister was
John Williams, a sarcastic wit and a
bachelor with an intense prejudice
against marriage. His clerk one day
asked him for a holiday to get mar
ried, and some months afterward, on
entering his chambers, Williams found
his dead body suspended from the
door. He engaged another clerk and
asked him II he was married. Mo-
the clerk replied, but thinking that Will
liams would regard marriage as a
guarantee Of steadiness he added, 'tbIt
4 am going to be- 2, Very we'll" re-
piled Williams, ..but understand this
when you hang yourself don't do It

Equatorial Africa.
u Europeans who visit the, great equa-
torial forests Of Africa are subject to-
many risks, but none perhaps SO dam
geroIs as contact with the bashikouay,
or great bull ant, which Is said to be-
the most dreaded Of living things to be
found In that region. 1t is. gluttonous.
In the extreme That which it attacks.
It consumes on the spot nothing is
carried away for further convenience.
Elephants, leopards, gazelles, lions,
snakes, gorillas, monkeys, even the,
human aborigines Of the districts it
infests, fly from any neighbo rhood in
which they know it to be located. Ac-
cording to well accredited reports,
these awe inspiring bull ants travel,
like locusts, in vast armies, marching.
In line two inches or more broad and
miles in length. One of these armies
has been known to take twelve hours
to pass given point These ants pre-
fer the shade and, rather than be ex-
posed to the rays Of the blazing sun,
will burrow tunnels under the surface
of the ground and thus travel until
they come to the shelter of trees. Any
animal which, unaware Of the proxim-
ity Of the bull ant and reposing in
the solitude Of the velt, happens to be
attacked has no chance Of escape. 1t
is devoured with irresistible fury, and
within few minutes a pile Of bleached
bones marks the spot where it reposed
"a, great deal Of valuable information
about this dreaded creature has been
published by French xoologist, M. de
Chailler, who has described a personal
encounter with the bull ant. II re-
member well the first time met the
bashiikouays on a raid. i knew not
what was in store for me. / was hunt
Ing by myself, when suddenly the for
est became alive with the foe. "A sud-
den dread seized me, and stood still
in the hunting path, resting on my gun.
Suddenly, as if by magic, I was COW
cred and bitten everywhere. / fed in
haste and found refuge in a deep
stream, yet even then the strong pinch
ers of the ants would not give way,
and though the bodies were torn off the
heads remained. The native tribes.
when a man is condemned for witch
craft, generally fasten him to a tree
before an inroad of these ants. After
they have passed a shining skeleton
alone is left to tell the tale Z

Build Up Our Merchant Marine.

Cleveland Ohio, an organization
Cleaveland, Ohio, an organization
which President MeKinley took such
an active interest, is in favor Of the
ship subsidy bill reported to the house
last week. 5g.
The shipping bill reported to the
house provides fair and just pay to
American steamships for carrying the
United States mails. The amounts are
for services rendered, work perform
ed, and can in no sense be justly
characterized as graft, or ..lost. =
The receipts Of the government,
now, from ocean postage will suffice
to pay for the maximum service pro
vided for in the bill. In other words
the enactment of that bill will not in
fict one cent of tax upon the Ameri-
can people. The mails carried them
50 as to provide the revenue required
for the payment Of services rendered
under the provisions OF the bill.
NO brlIlsn steamship line, rendering
a service as regular frequent. and as
swift as this bill requires, fails to re-.
ceive pay from the British govern
ment similar In amount to that proyid-
ed In this bill.
Japan pays to a Japanese lire Of
three steamships running from Yoke
hama to San francisco s60O, 900 a
