The work is very thorough. The task,
however, is herculean. There is need

ses, etc., and surrounding cities would
help greatly by sending such articles.

5000 loaves got in today from Allan
ia and Charleston, and Savannah is
sending 1000 loaves tonight.
Cleaning up and clearing away
wreckage will be begun Monday morn
ing. The county convicts, the city

uation we'll. in hand. The police have
their end Of the situation we'll in hand
also.

instead of cold when the mustard is
not required in haste.

done with stale tea-leaves-and a

Fish scales can be easily removed

until the scales curl, then scrape

having the last water cold and well
salted, so that there will be no slime
left.

Frankfort. XIV. June 2l.-With
the treasury in a depleted condition
and probably lower IN funds than
ever before, except in 1896, It may
be necessary to call an extra session
of the Legislature to provide money
with which to run the departments
Of the State Government. Capt Ed
Farley. State Treasurer. in letter
which he wrote to the Jailer of Ma.
son county to day, says that every
effort l. being made to avoid the ne
cessity for an extra session. In case
an extra session is called it, would be
called for the same purpose as was
the extra session Of 1896. when in
terest bearing warrants we're author
lied. This is a way to meet the
difficulties which are presented. and
it may be that Gov. Wilson will call
the extra session, probably in the
winter.
Capt. Farley wrote a letter to the
jaileT Of Mason county to-day ex-
planning why warrants are not being
paid by the State, and he gives
some pertinent and timely statements
regarding the financial condition OF
the State at this time. The letter il
as follows:

the treasury at this time that We ar,
unable to pay many Of the warrant

The mines near Salem, this coun-

and the output of zinc, spar and
lead, 1t is said, will be the largest
this season than ever before.
Several new companies operate in
this field this year and the outlook
for a prosperous year is almost as
sured. Salem is certainly coming
rapidly to the front in mining cir
cles and her citizens should feel
good and very proud.

time, after taking charge Of the
office, something over 900 600 was
paid out on claims months previous.
This together with current bills left
the treasury almost empty and it has
been a struggle since to keep the
machinery of the State running.
This will be the ease until the sheriff

! believe that the treasury is at
present lower in funds than it has
ever been before, except perhaps in
1896. where the incoming admins
trauon at that time found no money
on hand and nearly million dollars
of outstanding warrants past due,
and you will remember that an extra
session Of the Legislature had to be
called at that time, and interest bear
ing warrants authorized issued TO
! meet the dilemma. We hope to man
age affairs this year year SO that it
may not be necessary to call an extra
session Of the Legislature, aud only
ask our friends to be little patient
for a short time. The Auditor usual
ly audits all claims that come IN and
issues warrants which are sent to the
claimant, so that he may, if be sees
fit, use said warrants in bank as
collateral for such Accommodations as
he may need for a short time. When
funds sufficient to meet all outstand-
ing warrants are on hand, the public
will be duly notified and all such
warrants paid.

Letter from Edwin F. Myers.

Evanston, ILL.,, Jan. 8, 1908.
CUSTER Co. REPUBLICAN,,
That | have not written sooner
is not because of forgetting my
promise to write, but rather from
lack of time.
Chicago has felt the effects of
the panic rather less than most
American cities. None of the
important banks have found
themselves in straights. In the
mercantile line business has
been good. Marshall Field id
Co., where am, did ii per cent
more holiday business this year
than last year. This is partly
due to the fact that the retail
store is larger this year than ever
before. However there has been
a panic here as elsewhere. The
rich men had theirs in November
from a lack of capital and the
poor man is getting his now from
lack of work. The slackness
is far more marked in some bust
nesses than in others. There are
said to be thirty thousand idle
men in the city at the present
time. Many of them were form
erly eng aged in the trades that
have to do with copper and iron.
If Chicago could talk l think
it would say watch my smoke
for when the wind is not blowing
it certainly is smoky place.
They are raising high jinks
here now over whether those
who like it may buy booze al
night or only up to twelve
O'Clock.
