possibilities here and who spent much

governor Nebraska ever had.
Governor Sheldon said that members of

cussing state affairs he pointed to the
laws passed by the last legislature in the
interests of the people and their successful
enforcement by the executive officers.
Every law contested by the railroads and
express companies was in force, owing TO

GLENwooD, Ia, oct. 16.-tspecial)-
Judge o. d. Wheeler today sent to Clerk
Davis his decision In the mandamus case
argued before him last week. The question
was whether or not the candidates re-
ceiving the largest number Of votes at the
primary election should have their names
placed on the official ballot. or whether the
action OF the board of supervisors In redis-
tricting the county made It necessary 70
nominate new candidates by petition. The
'gist' Of the decision is as follows: "If the
candidate chosen at the primary meets with
favor at the hands of the board. the sit
uation remains unchanged. but IL he does
not meet with favor, the board can change
the situation and defeat him.. The legis-
lature never intended for such a condition
to exist. Under the primary law the
candidate receiving the largest number
Of votes is invested with an official char
acter. The legislature may abolish an
office. but that power has not been dele
gated to the board Of supervisors" The
candidates approved at the primary will
have their names placed upon the official
ballot by this ruling.

'rATEMENT OF CITY FINANCES
Nothing In Emergency Fund to Pay
Election EXPENSES.

-
Election Expenses.
The financial report Of City Auditor Nc
Aneney for the month of September. which
completes the first half Of the fiscal year,
was given out yesterday and will be sub
mltted to the city council at its meeting
next Monday night. The report is of par
tlcular interest at this time inasmuch as the
municipal authorities are confronted with
the problem of discovering funds where
with to pay the expenses of the special
election on October q. The councilmen
have inferred from the several opinions
given by City Solicitor Kimball that all of
the expenses incurred in connection with
the waterworks question should be paid
out of the contingent or emergency depart
ment of the general fund. The report of
the city auditor shows that at the end of
September there was only $510.1S in this
fund, which Is not even sufficient to pay
the bill OF w. II. Bryan, the expert hy-
draulic engineer, not to mention the ex-
penses Of the special election and the cost
OF publishing the booklet on the water
works question.
The total amount appropriated for the
maintenance of the several city depart
ments for the fiscal year was $4,000. This
amount was based on the certain revenue
from the 10 mill tax levey for the general
fund and the uncertain revenue from the
miscellaneous sources such as saloon
licenses, police court fines and forfeitures,
etc. The report shows that during the
first six months Of the fiscal year S45,sn.N
OF the $4,000 appropriation has already
been expended, leaving 34,12S.1O to carry on
the city government for the remaining six
months.
The streets and alleys appropriation has
been entirely expended and the sppropria-
tions for some of the other departments are
not in the best of shape. The expenses Of
the fire and police departments have not
so far exceeded the appropriations.
The following shows the amounts appro-
priated for the several departments for
the fiscal year and the balances on hand
at the end of the first six months:
