This balance, of course, is largely in
Improvement funds and cannot be
touched for general purposes. How
ever, with the $4,000 saloon license
and the approximate thousand doll
ars in occupation tax that came in
since January 1, and the taxes tnat
have come in since that date. the city
is in good condition financially leading
the finance committee to comment
in its report that the city of Ros-
well is in better condition, financially,
tnan 1t has been for several years.
Able to pay all its approved accounts,
the city will have enough money on
hand after paying these bills to run
the city almost through the next
three months, when license money will
again come in. Nearly $4,000 Will
come into the city funds from taxes
this month, but most of that amount
Is for the payment of interest on the
improvement bonds next March, and
Is not counted in the funds that the
city had for general purposes.

He runs a railroad and a steamship line and weekly newspaper. He gives free quarters to all his hel- pers and their families. He provides them with clothing at cut prices. He manufactures ice and sells 1t for next to nothing. He bakes bread, pies and cakes and delivers them at consumers doors. Every week he turns out and delivers more than 800 gallons of ice cream.

PUT IT UP TO COUNCIL.

If city council purchases combina- ton hose and chemical wagon for the volunteer frs company, the members will receive the plaudits of the entire city. The suggestion has met with uni versal approval and the taxpayers will cheerfully foot the bill. The Silver Belt suggests that the fire boys present a formal request for the combination wagon at the council meeting tomorrow night. The question will then bs up to the aldermen and the prediction is openly made that they will grant it. The fire boys will have no trouble in raising funds for the purchase of a tsam. Business men quite generally have expressed desire to "chip in'' and an entertainment or two will make up the desired amount. The ladies, too, are taking an active interest in this matter and express desire to assist the boys if the city will buy the com bination wagon. Council should act promptly. It will be money well spent.

PARTY LINES BREAKING
Generalization On Both Sides Over tho
 Tariff,

From the New York World.
 Republicans in Washington are exhib- iting mock anxiety lest ths democratic party go to pieces on the tariff ques- tion. Democratic assertions to protec- tion excite their cynical derision. But they ignore ths fact that as tariff re- visionists the house republicans are It tie better of. Their organization has not only been compelled to accept un- willingly number of important amend ments to the Payne bill, but 1t under went smashing defeat in the fight over the duty on petroleum and its products, when Speaker Cannon himself tried to save the situation by taking the floor.
 The leaders of neither side havs been able to hold their forces in line. Dem ocrats from Georgia, Louisiana and Florida have frequently bolted their party to vote for protection for some special interest in their locality, and the republican managers. when they needed help, knew how to tempt them. Republicans from Kansas, Michigan and Minnesota have organized meetings to demand separate votes on such ar ticles as oil, coal, lumber, hides, tea, coffee and beer. Many of the republi. cans have declared themselves against all the countervailing duties provided for in the present bill. Senator Elkins has called the republicans from west Virginia, Kentucky, Tennessee, North Carolina, and Pennsylvania who are interested in coal to fight the proposed reciprocity arrangements between the United States and Canada. Republicans quit the party organization to vote fo- lower schedules than the Payne bill pro. vides; democrats leave their party or. ganization to vote for higher duties Both parties are working at cross pur- poses within their own ranks. Party lines have gone to smash; party leaders vainly try to lead, and their followers refuse to follow. Protection has added to the demoralization of the democrats, and tariff revision to the demoralization of the republicans.

all other desires, and makes life as rich as 1t was in the former periods.
 It may be that have not made my self perfectly plain. But feel it plain ly. As the time when had lost all interest in my personal, individual life, but had not yet acquired religious in terest Gan aspiration to the general good of humanity), was mortified by my po- sition. But found peace the moment I had found religious sentiment i'm polling me to think of the good of hu- manity. In this thought, at the same time, found full satisfaction of my desire for personal happiness.
 The same thing is going on now, al though my former passionate desire to make mankind happier has weakened. I am overcome sometimes by . certain terror as if stood before an nimmense abyss.
 But the aspiration to, and the prepar. ation for, . new life, replace the former conditions which thmey were born out of; and in them there is happiness both for the individual and for all humanity Preparing for the new life, I attain as the same time my former aim, the good of humanity, more surely than when this was my only aim. Aspiring to attain God, aspiring to purity of di. vine being in myself and in my new life, I find more assuredly both happi nes sfor humanity and for myself. And that is entirely without haste and with out exhaustion, but with the joyful con sciousness of a tranquil conscience. May God help me!

THREE STAGES OF LIFE
Count Tolstoi Reviews His Spiritual Ex. periences.

From Golfers Weekly.
 I feel very clearly the beginning of loss of interest, not only in my own personality, my joys and sorrows-all that happily lies far behind me and is long ago buried-but in the welfare of humanity and the happiness of the world. No longer with my former keenness can stand forward to defend such things as self education, temper ance and thrift. feel that have even become indifferent to human welfare, to the great question, Will the kingdom of heaven come or not?
 Having experienced this change and reflected on it's cause, I have come to the following conclnsion: Every man lives three stages of development, and at present I am in the last of these stages.
 In the first stage a man lives only for himself, for his passions and i'm pulses; for eating and drinking, for passing the time merrily; for hunting and for female society: for ambition and for vanity. His life is rich and full. So it was with me up to my thir. tieth year, until my first gray hair. Other men part with this period of their lives more rapidly. When I had trav- eled this stage, I began to think of the welfare of others, of all men, of all humanity. This stage was marked by energetic work in founding elementary schools, although should say that the wish to do that showed itself in me earlier. These interests vanished with the first years of my married life, and were reborn with terrible force when first began to realize the vanity and emptiness of our earthly life. All my religious sentiments became concentrat- ed on the happiness of others and on the accomplishments of the kingdom of heaven on earth. This aspiration was as strong as, and filled my life as son. pletely as, my first aspiration to per sonal happiness.
 But now I feel that this last aspira. ton Is to turn dead. It has ceased to fill my life, 1t no longer carries me away; and have been obliged to pose to myself the question; Was there really anything good in work directed toward helping men in their struggle against drunkenness and against superstition7 felt that within me was being born yet new phase of life, new founda- ton of life, which must replace all the others, because it contains sn aspiration to the happiness of humanity, which, in turn contains an aspiration to per sonal happiness. This new foundation | is work in the service of God, and the fnlfllment of his commandments and His will. This is not the perfstting of one's self. No, it is something else. It is an aspiration to divine purity.
 This new foundation of life consists in keeping clean the good intrusted to Us by God, in the beginning of a new life, in the. aspiration to a better, higher life, and in being ready always for this better life. This aspiration begins to seize me more and more strongly. I feel that it fills me entirely, supplants
