AUDITOR FORETOLD
LARGE DEFICIT

That criticism for the en- barrass-
ing financial condition of the State
should be laid at the door OF the men
who served In the last Legislature in
stead OF the State officials IL clearly
shown by figures obtained at the au-
ditor's Office Saturday.
The figures and records in the Of
flee show that before the General As
sembly convened Auditor Marye fur
nished the lawmakers with an ae
count OF the States affairs. whic h
demonstrated that expenses for tgtp
would he s5.92o, 500, and revenues
only s5.S37,s54.35. The auditor pre-
dicted a deficit OF s5s2.45b.o1. In the
face OF this, however the Legisia
tire after making some increases in
the taxes Of the State, made appro-
priations which will probably boost
the deficit far over the half million
mark

j. R. Froberg and wife leave
Sunday for Point Richmond, CAL,
where Mr.. 'Froberg will shortly
proceed to build an aeroplane of
his own invention and with which
he expects to compete next July
for the prize of $4,000 offered by
Lord Raycroft, proprietor of the
London Mail, for the quickest time
around thousand mile circle.
His first move will be to erect
suitable building on property
which he owns on the point and
there principally by his own hands
he will build that which he believes
will be ahead of all aero planes so
far conceived.
The model which he has con-
structed and which he will ship
probably tomorrow is particularly
impressive as to the value of the
new pionts Of his concept ion. The
machine to be constructed from
the model will be built to travel
either in air, water or on land It's
bottom will be boat shaped and
equipped with two engines which
will be placed TO work together or
separately as the condition of one
or the other may require Should
one engine miss fire for a few
revolutions, the other will suffice
n continue the machine on its
flight. Froberg's aeroplane will
be built to carry five people. To
construct it will cost about $4,000.
1t will be o one-man affair so
constructed that no assistance will
be needed 10 stlrt it as is not the
case with other machines now in
use. Among various other
ingenious features it will be
equipped with automatic equili-
brium planes.-Goldfield News.

MORE CHANCE FOR

The automobile has not as yet
reahced it's period of usefulness,

story which comes from Atchison
county is true.
The story as told is that
former cowpuncher who spent his
early life on the plains, but who is
now a well-known ranchman of
Atchison county, in TIE course of
progress and prosperity acquired
an automobile. The other day,
with good-natured exhilaration in
his heart and bug-juice immediate.
ly beneath, he sped through the
main street of lis home town
guiding the steering-wheel with
his feet and employing his hands
to puncture the atmosphere with
volleys from his six-shooter. 1t
was the familiar western perform
ance of shooting up the town, with
the important and novel exception
that the familiar broncho with his
heaving flanks and frothing mouth
was replaced by smooth-running
machine manufactured somewhere
in Michigan. The superiority of
the new method over the old is
patent and indisputabie.

There is more Catarrh in thi,
section Of the country than all
other diseases put together, and
until the last few years was sup
posed to be incurable. For a great
many years doctors pronounced it
local disease and prescribed local
remedies, and by constantly failing
to cure with local treatment. pro-
nounced it incurable. Science has
proven catarrh to be a constitu-
tional disease and therefore re-
quires constitutional treatment.
Halls Catarrh Cure, manufactured
by F. ]. Cheney & Co., Toledo,
Ohio, is the only constitutional
cure on the market. 1t is taken
internally in doses from 10 drops
to a teaspoonful. 1t acts directly

hundred dollars for any case it
fails to cure. Send for circulars
