Indianapolis, Aug. 23.-The state
treasury is going to be broke on the
first day of October, and the state of
Indiana will have to borrow about
5000, 900 from the ninety-twO counties
of the state. This is now possible un-

would be on the first OF October. so
they had bill passed giving the audi
tor of state the right to call on the
county treasurers fer advance pay
ments of taxes from the counties.
For the last three or four years the
state has been running ahead OF its
income The appropriations by the
legislature have been far in excess of
the regular revenue of the state each
year. and the result has been that
the state has been in the hole before
the end of the fiscal year. The fiscal

new one begins October 1.

This year the work on improve

County Chairman Is in Receipt
i've Mood But Declines to
State He Is Out After the
Nomination.
PARTY IS STRIVING
10 UNITE FACTIONS
1t is Realized That Harmony
Is Essential - Convention
Will Be Held the Middle of
September.

The first part of next month the
democratic city committee will hold a
meeting and effect new organization
on which will fall the brunt of the
| hard municipal election campaign
! which opens with vigor the first OF
| October. After the reorganization has
been effected. with C. W. Merrill in
all probability retained as chairman
provided of course that he is not too
badly stung with the mayoralty nomin
alton bee. convention will be called
| and a ticket placed in the field.
Owing to the success of the demo-
election. when its candidate. Dr.
Schillinger, was elected over the re-
publican candidate, DR.. w. w. Zim-
norman. who this year again heads
the republican ticket, there is decid-
ed scramble among the chiefs for the
honor of being placed on the ticket rs
longer regarded as an empty honor,
as it was prior to the last election.
Harmony Is Wanted.
Whether the mayor and the Merrill
Study-Johnson factions will unite and
agree on harmony platform. remains
to be seen. All the democratic lead
ers admit that this is essential if the
party hopes to win out again next
November-but this longed-for har-
mony is doubtful quantity. Echoes of
the old fight four years ago when the
Merrill Study johnson faction slipped
one over" on John Bayer and nomin-
ated Schillinger are still heard and the
old sores are not yet healed.
Democratic wise heads" admit that
the right man must be picked if it
receives the eHtire support of the par
ty. This man must be one who is ac-
ceptable to both factions and up to
the present time c. E.. Beck appears
to be the only one capable of meeting
the demand Mr.. Beck is chairman Ut
the county organization and a capable
diplomatic man. He has carefully
avoided party squabbles. but at the
same time has worked hard for the
success of the party.
Statement by Beck.
When asked this morning whether
he would accept the democratic may
orally nomination. Mr.. Beck said:
Il have nothing to say pro or con.
The convention must choose a man
who is fair and square and who viii
give his attention to the Office in the
event he is elected. have been ap-
preached by several of my friends and
they have urged me to make the race
but l have not yet given them any an,
Swer."
1t can be seen by this statement that
Mr. Beck is in receptive mood and
that he would be more than willing to
accept the nomination if it was ex-
tended to him.

Committee Appointed by the
Trades Council to Wait on
Management of the Local
Plant on Wednesday.
UNFAIR RESOLUTION
is PLACED ON TABLE
Union Bartenders Feared Its
Enactment Would Compel
Them to "Go Out" - Tiff
Makes a Statement.

Union labor in Richmond will make
an effort to force the Minck Brewing
company to accept contract recog-
nizing the establishment OF brewery
workers union local at the plant 1t is
understood that Wednesday a commit
tee appointed by the president Of the
local trades council will wait on the
brewery officials and make an effort
to effect satisfactory adjustment Of
the matter.
At the present time the local brew
cry is one of the very few. it is stated.
in Indiana which does not employ
union labor. Minck beer is sold al
most exclusively in all the local sa-
looms. with probably four or five ex-
ceptiors.
Barkeeps Union Men.
It so happens that practically every
bartender in the city is a union man.
At the trades council meeting last
week 1t was reported by brewery
workers union organizer that his ef-
fort to uajonize the Minck brewery
had not been crowned with success.
owing to the refusal of the brewery
management to accept the contract
submitted.
A resolution was then submitted, 1t
is stated declaring Minek beer 'un-
fair This resolution was tabled af-
ter strenuous argument against it on
the part of the delegates from the
bartenders' union. 1t was pointed ont
that if Minck hee~ was declared I'M
fair union bartendcrs could not sell
it,
It was also pointed out that as
Minck beer was handled almost eX-
clusively by the local saloons it would
be up to the barterders to go out" if
the resolution was adopted.
Appoints a Committee.
After the resolution was laid on the
table President Daudt Of the council.
who is one of the bartenders' union
delegates. appointed a committee TO
wait on the brewery management
Lewis E. Tiff. one of the brewery
officers, stated this morning that he
had no objections to the brewery
workers joining the union. but that
the terms Of tie union contract were
so Objectionable they could not be
considered. Under there terms the
bottle washers could not be employ
ed in any other kind of work. This
would be true Of the various other
classes Of employees
Mr. Tiff stated that in the large
breweries such an arrangement is pos
sibie but not at n plant the size of the
local one. He also pointed out the
fact that a nine hour day was provid-
ed for drivers. with tine and half
ray for overtime. and that any driver
handling five hundred kegs per year
vas entitled to an assistant. Mr..
Tiff said that all of the brewery Griv-
ers, no matter how many kegs per
year they each handled, were provid-
ed with helpers. but that the drivers
and their assistants were frequently
Obliged to put in more than nine
hours work per day. Under more lib
eral terms, Mr.. Tiff said. no opposi-
tion to the organization of the union
would be made by the management of
the brewery.

Northern Pacific to Bring Suit.

The Northern Pacific railroad has
commenced action against all the
farmers who own land between here
and Dublin who live along the line
of the old Northern Pacific survey.
The complaints seem to have been
filed in October 1907 but have never
been ordered served. The Lewiston
& Southeastern electric line is also
made party defendant to the action.
The object of this action at this time
seems to be mystery which no one
is able to solve. One theory advanc-
ed is that they are just quieting title
to their old right-of-way So that in
case of disagreement arising between
them and the Nezperce & Idaho road
they would be in position to parallel
the new road in a very short time.
The view quite generally held in Lew
lSton is that it means the building of
branch line by the Northern Pacific
into Nezperce early this spring. The
movement will be watched with much
interest by all in this section of the
country. -Nezperce Herald.

SOMETHING NEW in DESSERTS
Try This Strawberry Tapioea, for
Which We Print the Original
Recipe.

. An unusually delicious dessert. re-
freshing as ices and rather more
wholesome. is strawberry tapioca.
made by this original recipe:
Cook four tablespoonfuIs of instan-
taneous tapioca in two cups of water
with cup of sugar and a teaspoonful
of butter until clear.
Hull and wash a pint of strawber-
ries and cut each berry in half. crush
ing slightly with a fork to make the
juice run.
Stir this PURGE through the tapioca
without cooking) and set to chill in
the ice chest. 1t becomes a lovely pink
color, and is most delicious served
with whipped cream. II the berries
are very tart. they can be sprinkled
with sugar and allowed to marinate in
their juice for half an hour.
Raspberry tapioca is equally un.
usual and dainty in another flavor
Take 1t in the same way, but without
crushing the berries 1t is a delicious
served with soft custard as a sauce.
