Does the District OF Columbia keep its
own books Of its own expenditures and

OF does the Treasury Department kee o
such parts Of the books as il pleases AMI
pay such accounts as &C pleases2
These two questions have brought the
government Of the District OF Columbia
I and the Treasury Of the United States
10 an issue. They are said TO have been
carried 10 the White House and laid

answer by the Comptroller Of the Treas

should be decided against the municipal
authorities there is every reason to be-
lieve the controversy viii be carried be-
fore Congress.
A claim for a refund Of $50 is the
ostensible cause OF the disagreement.
Actually that account is only the spark
that has set the conflict ablaze. Tt has
been smoldering for two months, ever
since the payment by the Treasurer OF
the United States Of $1.500.0J0 to the Bal
umore and Ohio railroad.

OLD-FASHIONED
CIRCUS COMING
GREAT AMERICAN SHOW WILL
BE IN TONOPAH MONDAY
AND TUESDAY.

The circus is coming to town, and
all the recollections of our boyhooi
will be conjured up. The old-fash-
toned circus of our boyhood, how
eagerly we awaited the day of the
circus-up at daybreak, to see it
come in, intensely happy, the red
letter day of the year. Did not the
gIamor of spangles, the smell of the
sawdust, excite in our youthful
breasts a spirit of unrest, all of us
wanted to be circus man. The circus
of the present day does not seem to
be the real thing, with its three rings
and two stages, and we go away feel
ing that there is no more circus. The
Great American Circus that will ex-
hibit in Tonopah for two days next
week, Monday and Tuesday, May A
and 5, is the old-fashioned circus re-
vived. The funny old clowns, the
trick donkey, the acrobats, the tum-
blers, and the rope walkers. You can
renew your youth and find an excuse
by taking the children, who will Ger
tainly enjoy it.
