s705,837 WARRANTS
 OUTSTANDING DEBT
MARK LOWEST SINCE MARCH 30, WHEN OBLIGATIONS HAD BEEN
 REDUCED TO $693,266.
LITTLE CASH COMING IN
County Settlements Generally Being Made in Warrants Taken in Re
 ceipts For General Taxes.
Little Rock

LlIIlG IGOCh.--
 The States general revenue fund, 1aboring for many months under a great pile of unredeemed warrants, recuperated, and reduced the aggre- gate amount of outstanding indebted ness to $705,S3I50, the lowest mark it has been able to reach since March 30, when it stood $693, ,266.97 behind. The amount of outstanding warrants will continue to decrease from now on, it is believed, as many sheTiffs soon will make their settlements with the State treasurer
 Twelve or fifteen sheriffs already have made partial settlements, but little cash has been turned into the general revenue fund, for the sheriffs have been accommodating to their friends holding State warrants and have cashed many, turning the State warrants into the State treasury to be credited to their respective counties Many warrants were bought up hy railroads and large corporations, who got them at a discounted price, and who in turn used them in paying cer- tain taxes in the various counties These warrants, together with war rants drawn by the State educational institutions and cashed by the sherfffs, form the bulk of the money" coming into the treasury in partial settlement by the sheriffs.
 Officials believe the greater part of the amounts due the general revenue fund from sheriffs will be paid in war rants. The sheriff of Mississippi County recently turned in s18,000 in warrants The total settlement of his county will net the general revenue fund but $23,OOO, and $1S.000 of that has been turned in in warrants. Set dement's of other counties, insofar as they have been made, have been made, | up of State warrants iN similar pro- portion.

THIS CHICKEN WELL DRESSED
Idaho 6iddy Has FuIl-Dress Flannel
Coat and Seems to Be
Proud Of 1t.

The proudest chicken in Boise lives
on West State street.
The bird has no medals for pedi-
gree, no certificates for being cham
pion layer, no diplomas for good be-
havior. or unusual size. Yet without
any of these attachments, this fowl is
the observed of all observers. Citi-
zens go blocks out Of their way to see
the bird, which struts with pride be-
fore their view.
This fowl claims the distinction Of
being the only bird in Boise to pos
sess a swallow-tail overcoat. Its own
err takes personal interest in all her
hens. and it was with some concern
that she noticed during the summer
that one of the late spring chickens
failed to develop any feathers on its
back.
When the cool evenings came on
last fall the bird seemed to feel tho
cold. and its owner made from an
old flannel shirt unique coat. mod
eled after full-dress coat, with no
front to speak Of, but plenty OF back
and tail Sits were arranged for the
birds wings, and the fowl seems to
others in the coop to be particularly
proud Of the costume.
