FINANCES or THE
COUNTY ARE GOOD
Cash Balance of 1858 Is
Shown for Year Despite
the Rate Reduction.

The prosperous condition of Rich
report for 1910 by city controller E.
G. McMahan is also reflected in the
condition of the county's finances
now in a better condition than they
have been since 1905, and probably
several years before that time. AS
the end of the year approaches there
is every indication that there will be
a cash balance in the county treasury
of approximately s63,30O AS COM
pared to this the yearly report for
1905 showed that the county had ov-
erdrawn s2S,955.55
At the end of 1909 there was cash
balance of S66,1 in the treasury
which on the face of it, indicates that
the county was better off financially
in 1909 than this year However.
during 1909 there were no unusual ex-
penditures, only the current expenses
being met During the present year
the county paid off an Indebtedness
of $4,000 and also spent about $780,
900 in county inirmary improvements
which the county officials had not an
ticipated at the opening of the year
and consequently had made no prepar-
alton for the expenditure.
If it had not been for the payment
of the $4,000 loan and the expendit-
ure of about $4,000 for the poor farm
the cash balance of the county for
1910 would have been approximately
S97 1000
The cash balance for 1910 was made
possible, not by increasing the tax
rate during the year. but by reducing
it about one cent. The report reflects
great credit on the county officials in
the manner in which they have man
aged the county finances and particu-
iarly the county aduitor and county
commissioners.
For comparison with the cash bal
ances of 1909 and 1910. those of 1905,
and : are given. They are: 1905,
s2s,955.55 overdrawn: 1906, $4,000
cash balance: and 1907. s3s.000 cash
balance. Wayne county is financially
better off than almost any other of its
sister counties in the state. Reports
| from the counties adjacent to Wayne
and particularly from Henry county
| indicate these counties have greatly
overdrawn their accounts.

Fur scarfs have come in fashion
strongly as the winter weather ad-
yances. They are much like those that
prevailed during the summer-those
graceful accessories that Europe was
quite mad over in the spring ana
which we began to wear in September.
Our summer days demand mosquito
netting for drapery rather than lined
satin scarfs.
The satin ones are still worn, but
not in their original state. There is
band Of fur around the edge. and there
is warm lambs wool interlining.
Some are in the original length: 9th
ers are finished just below the bust
with weighted silk tassels that keep
>re ends down.
The latter are lined with cerise. with
apple green. with copper. They TIT
the shoulder tightly and hold the top
Of the arms down to the body. The
fur at the edge is about two inches
wide and as often brown as black.
When this quaint little accessory Is
worn at the same time that huge
pillow mufr is carried and to these are
added the new scoop bonnet with its
panache Of plumes, a Ia directoire.
then indeed does the modern girl look
old fashioned. Didn't the heroines OF
Jane Austen and the Bronte sisters
wear such gewgaws? The scarf that
is really comfortable these cold days
is Of fur and velvet. 1t keeps one
almost as warm as a fur coat and is
infinitely less heavy. The latter loses
half it's value by the striking disadvan~
tage Of weight. 1t tires out the mus
cles of neck and back to such de-
gree that one looks askance ut wear
ing it every day. Again. 1t is too
warm a garment to be worn often
or long It can be tolerated only at
intervals.
The fur scarf Is not heavy to carry,
and it's warmth can be adjusted to the
most vital part of the back or chest.
It is as thick and as warm as one
wishes to make it.
The charming fur scarf seen in the
picture is of Persian paw. with deer
fringe and bands of handsome black
passementerie decorating the graceful.
long length Of pelt.

Today the jury in the district court

which died from injuries inflicted by
a kicking mule owned by George

was alleged, was worth 5000, and just
how the jury reached the amount in

mysteries of the juryroom, for the at

the value of the horse was not ques-
toned.

PURSUE
A MURDERER
NIKoLA WoZNEY BELIEVED TO
BE FLEEING FROM JUSTICE
THROUGH WILD
COUNTRY.

Winnipeg, Man., May 13.-Since
last Friday morning the provincial po-
lice have been engaged in q man hunt
for Nikola Wozney in the district
north of Shoal lake, who is believed
TO have committed one of the most
atrocious crimes in the annals of the
province. The man who has deserted
q wife and eight children, is believed
to be fleeing for his life through the
scrubs and bluffs which abound in
this section of Manitoba, and every
agency in western Canada for the de-
lection of crime has been notified to
be on the lookout for him.
The man fed from his home at dead
of night last Thursday, and since that
time not the slightest trace of him
has been found. Detective John Parr,
who went out to effect the arrest, ar
rived just eight hours after his man
had taken to the woods.
Details of the finding of the body
of farm laborer named Philip Kusil
in the woods north of Shoal lake on
April Is have been recorded, and it is
the alleged murderer of this man who
is fleeing from justice. Everything
points to the fact that he slew the
deceased in order to rob him of his
summers wages, amounting to $3.50.
The body of the man who was missing
from Nov. 10, was found by boys,
partly submerged in slough with the
skull frightfully fractured The blow
had evidently been dealt with powerful
force from behind and 1t was evident
that heavy piece Of cordwood or
some equally blunt instrument had
been used.
