ss4,e11 SHORTAGE I'M Sac.
Treasurer's Peculations Are Larger
Than Anticipated.

Sac City.-W. A. Burnap, expert
accountant, who was hired by the
county to go over the books of w. H
Pettis, recently treasurer of Sac
county, and ascertain the exact
amount of Pettis' shortage, has made
his report to the county board of
supervisors after several weeks of
thorough Investigation. Mr. Burnap
finds the shortage to be s34,611.S0.
He made investigation of all the
entries in the tax lists and other de-
tails and found errors in the Office
to consist OF three kinds: First, can
cellations, where receipts had been
issued and afterwards cancelled:
second, Implications, where two re-
ceipts of the same number had been
issued and only one carried to the
tax register; third, omissions, where
moneys have been received and not
accounted for.
Mr. Burnap finds that the method
used in checking up the treasurer is
the same employed by large major
ity of counties in the state, and is
the method that has been used since
the organization of this county. He
does not blame the board of supervi-
sors for not making the discovery
long ago, for he believes they did the
same as most men would have done.
He has recommended the installing
of a system in the auditors office
which will prevent such crooked
fro m ri haraaftar
When the shortage was first dis
covered local men figured the amount
at about $4,000 and it was believed
that the report of the expert would
not change the amount materially
That the amount is larger by nearly
| $4,000 comes as a surprise.
Sac City.-Following the report of
the shortage, came the arrest of
| former County Treasurer William H
| Pettis, on information to which about
| twenty citizens of Sac county swore
| charging h, in with embeZzlement of
the county funds. He furnished a
bond of $1,000 signed by his wife
which secures his appearance befort,
the grand jury at the August term
Of the district court.
Real estate and other property were
turned over to the bondsmen several
weeks ago, which footed up to s27,.

secured by mortgage on her farm
in Coon Valley township, for s7,526.39
to w. Jackson. and the bondsmen will

LYDIA E. PINKHAM

No other medicine has been so
successful iii relieving the suffering
of women or received so many gen.

In every community you will find
women who have been restored to
health by Lydia E. Pinkham's Veg.

one you meet has either been bene-
flied by it, or has friends who have.
In the Pinkham Laboratory at
Lynn, Mass, any womananyd aymay
see the files containing over one mil.
lion one hundred thousand letters
from women seeking health, and
here are the letters in which they
openly state over their own sigma
lures that they were cured by Lydia
i, d. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound.
Lydia E. Pinlzham's Vegetable
Compound has saved many women
from surgical operations.
Lydia e. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound is made from roots and
herbs, without drugs, and is whole
some and harmless.
The reason why Lydia =. Pink
hams Vegetable Compound is so
successful is because it contains in
gradients which act directly upon
the feminine organism, restoring it
to healthy normal condition.
Women who are suffering from
! those distressing ills peculiar to their
sex should not lose sight of these
facts or doubt the ability of Lydia

to restore their health.
