lions I'm seven Nears--COuncn
ArranEes for First Regis
trRtion Day.

]. ]. GHlln, city clerk, issued his annual
statement Saturday, showing the condition
of funds at the close Of the fiscal year.
The statement was much delayed from the
fact that the city was entering the provl-
sions of the latest charter revision.
The report shows that the actual run
ming expense Of the city for the last fiscal
year was $685., 1S645. The available funds
from all sources were S23S, 502.4A. The net
balance at the close OF the year was
g., 1868. All Of the regular funds except
the judgment. water and interest funds
were exhausted, and required considerable
shifting to meet the expenditures. I'm
der the provisions of the new charter the
balance left goes into a sinking fund for
the payment OF the city Indebtedness.
The bonded Indebtedness Of the city
against which this sinking fund is created
includes Sl,s60.6Ss Of general bonds. The
paving and street Improvement bonds at
the close of the year amounted to $3.50 6o.
The special grading and sewer bonds
amounted to SSl, 962. The total bonded in
debtedness was therefore 81, AIS, 1860.
During the present year the paving bonds
bid fair to amount to S25O,0OO. Bids have
been received already on S92, 900 worth of
construction. The contractors are just
completing a Sss, 900 contract for paving.
Petitions are before the council for about
$780, 900 more.
The following table shows the actual val
uation Of the city property, real and per-
sonal, from the time the levy was made
on the fair cash valuation up to the pres
ent date. The table shows that the valua-
ton has increased over $s,O0o,OOO in seven
years. The average assessment on this
valuation has been above go mills. The
actual assessment has been as in the table:

DIR. wheeler on Labor Day

DR.. r. L. Wheeler preached a sermon
yesterday morning on THE Significance of
Labor Day" He took a most hopeful view.
He said the questions confronting labor
could not be settled by sentiments tinged
with anarchy. Neither could the questions
be answered by the adoption OF a pure
socialism,. In his sermon he laid down eight
principles which he sought to support nv
argument. The first was: The labor ques-
ton will be settled right when settled by
Bible standards. 2 The cost of producing
labor should determine the price Of labor.
8. The cost Of producing labor includes that
of rearing a family. 4. The cost of living
ought to include the expense of educating
children in the common schools, 8. 1t ought
to include the expense of keeping a wife
at home to care for and b~eautify it. 6. The
s~lovenly spendthrift and the drunkard
ought to suffer, and not to be q menace
to the city. z. The necessaries of life for
the American exceed the necessaries Of life
for the Chinaman. s. It is greed and not
liberty that demands that a woman shall
enter the field Of manual labor to I'VE, or
to enter the political field with ballots in
order to Obtain what is, justly hers by
divine right 49,,
Woman Commit Suicide.
Mrs. Martha Dorman, wife OF Ezekiel
Dorman, Twenty-seventh and u streets,
was found dead in a closet In her home
Sunday about $50 a. m. She rose at about
her usual time and went into the closet,
where she tied a small cord, such as is
used on a window curtain, about her neck
and hanged herself. She was SO years old,
She had been suffering from a complica-
ton OF diseases. She had been having
nervous attacks for two or three months.
The family had been watching her as care
fully as possible, but for this time she
eluded them. 1t was decided that an In
quest was unnecessary. The funeral will
be held from the residence at 2 p. m.
Tuesday. DIR. r. L. Wheeler will have
charge.
She had four daughters, Mary, Margaret,
Martha and Louise, The oldest is 10 years.
Her husband also survives her.
