Precisely it cannot be said at this

Referring to the Illinois Central

sue of Sept. Sth, / think 1t proper to
state through your columns to the
many readers of same and who also are
my friends, that | have known Harri-
man for thirty years and was proud
of him as a young man who started
at work in my office; but knew moth
ing of his connection with this car
company. He stated to me While In
his office one day that he had some
dividends to be paid or had sold some
stocks, ! don't remember which, and
asked if he could have some of the
checks made in my name, to which |
assented, and when csshed at my
bank, sent him my check of equal
amount. ! knew nothing whatever of
the nature of the funds or their dis
tribution and none of his associates,
except possibly Ewing, whom | had
met few times, and who at one
time was superintendent of the Chi.
cago, Rock Island Railroad at Trent

| regret exceedingly the notoriety

with satisfaction by my old persona

How Money VIII be Spent.

Since April, the month in which the
commissioners assumed office and all
politics was laid aside and part
lsanship was forgotten. the city's
pay roll and other expense accounts
Included, has average between eight
and nine thousand dollars a month.
In these figure are included moneys
spent in street repairs, park and Gem
etery up-keep and various needed
civic improvements Included under
the head of salaries, the police and
fire departments verbally open the
purse strings of the city. take there
from something like $1,000 at the end
Of every one of the twelve months of
the year the police $500, and the fire
department. employees, $500.

Must Disburse Carefully.

Frugality must be the watchword of
the commissioners from now on. There
are many of quizzical turn of mind
who will doubt that the city must
spend thriftily and even go SO far as
to censure those placed at the head of
the municipal government, for wishing
to economize. However there are as
many more who are willing to remain
recumbent during an administration,
which is the initial diversity of it's
kind from the old form of city rule,
and trust to the all-wise management
Of those whom they have seen fit to
place in office.

$4,000 will be needed to meet all ex-
penses, at least that is the figure at
which Indebtedness incurred in the
next half year will amount to- is the
estimate after careful consideration.
From this it can be seen that some
thing like 1900 will be needed to
meet expenses, aside from the s1S,-
600 which is in the bank drawing in
terest.
Things have been figured almost to
fine point and thus the guess that
the money in the bank next April will
be between $500 and $1,000. If the
pay roll and expense account of the
city should amount to eight and nine
thousand dollars all during the rest
of the fiscal year, Keokuk would find
herself "in the hole" several thous-
ands in April instead of ahead. But
during the winter months it will be
impossible TO do any street work and
quite a saving will be accomplished
in that department alone when prices
of material for building and salaries
of workmen that are paid during the
warm months, may be excluded from
November to March.
Saloon, pool room and licenses
of other places that the city requires,
will fall due between now and spring.
All of the taxes have not yet been paid
by property owners so there will be
ample time to secure funds to strike
off every dollar OF the forty-five
thousand Ill seven months time

In July $4,000 represented the
amount of disbursements. In August
/ $4,000. and in September it will be

Only What is Necessary.

y
During this spring and summer
there have been three public attrac-
tons classified under tented exhibit
tons in Keokuk, two carnival COM
panies and one circus The old rule
used to be that twenty extra police
should be sworn in for special duty
when a circus or carnival arrived in
town. The commissioner of public
safety stepped aside from that law
and saved forty dollars each day by
not having any ''tin star" special po-
lice walking around, each drawing two
day for doing nothing at all. That
has been only one method of saving,
employed by the commissioners. 1t
has been for the best interests of the
city, with the idea of economy always
in view that all moneys have been
dyisbursed, carefully and consistently.
Paying OF the Debt.
In Sunday mornings Gate City a
statement of finances was given,
showing the city at the present time
W nave bank account or more IMAM
$4,000. From April first to August
thirty-first, $4,000 in floating bonds
have been paid off and an indebted
ness of $4,000 cleared up. Consider.

preceding administrations was extra
large, certain acts of former councils
in ordering street and other civic re
pairs were handed over to the com

Paris, aug. 2j.-An Old man named
Baity was found dead between the
Frisco and tram railroad tracks near
Garyin, Okla. with wire moose

wire on a Limb of tree above his head
showed he had met death by hanging,
but whether it was murder or sui

years o!d and had been about Garyin
a year or so, working as a tiemaker.
No reason for suicide was known, and
the officers are working on the the
