ONLY TWENTY-SEVEN THOUSAND LEFT i ' Follremen and Firemen Mar Hava (o Go Six Month Without Tar and . Street Force Will He Dispensed With. Yesterday afternoon Clly Clerk Shrlgley gave out for publication a statement of the city's fluances at the close of business hours. According to this statement the 1901 levy amounted to $106,416; balance from 1900 levy, $6,017; received from county road fund, $197; received from Intersection paving fund, $692; total, $113,823. Tho mount drawn since tho commencement of tho fiscal year In August totals $86,207. This leaves a balance for tho city to operate sn until next July of $27,515. The balances of various funds follow: General fund, $3,482; salary, $3,776; judg ment, $952; street repair, $858; public light, $1,255; Are, $1,020; Interest, $2,759; curb and paving repair, $118; police, $3,596; water, $988; park, $2,180; library, $571; emergency, $25; engineer, $29. If the council acts upon tho advice of Iho city attorney It will not permit any of the funds to be overdrawn. Such an ct will, under tho charter, lay the mem bers of the council liable under their bonds. It will bo seen by the figures given that out of the 1901 levy there has already been expended $86,000, leaving only $27,515 to pay tho running expenses until the next levy Is available. If the mayor and city attorney will not permit the funds to bo overdrawn tho firemen and policemen will havo to go without pay from January until thn end of July nnd tho street department will be shut down entirely. Tho matter of dismissing the street force Is now under contemplation and thin will most likely be done as soon as the washouts caused by the recent rains are filled.

Sample ballots for tho proposition to vote bonds In the sum of $5,000 for the pur chaan of a slto for library purposes made their appearance yesterday. These ballots are being scattered about among voters In order that the peoplo may know before hand Just what tho proposition Is. It is merely a question as to whether tho people will sanction tho Issue of bonds to the amount of $5,000 for the purchase of land upon which Is to bo erected tho proposed Carnegie library. These bonds are to bo In the denomination of $500 each and will run ten years, bearing Interest at the rate of 6 per cent per annum. Bcntlment seems to bo divided on the question, but a great many persons who use the library In Omaha aro anxious to seo the proposition carry. Tho Increase In taxation will be very tight and thn Improvement will, It Is asserted, be welt worth the money the city Is required to expend. Arranalnc for Election. Members of thq republican and demo cratic committees' are considering tho ad vlsablllty of sending circular letters to the Judges and clerks of election In connection with the count of tho votes on the night of November 5. Those who havo consid ered "the matter assert that If all of the straight votes aro sorted out first and then the split tickets counted the returns can be reported promptly. If tho number of straight tickets Is known at an early hour It will be only n short time until tho split tickets can be counted and tabulated. This will give the result. Then the straight tickets, previously sorted out, can be listed on the pollbooks. The plan Is considered a good one and the members of the election board will bo asked to follow It. With twelve voting precincts It Is ex pected that tho volts can bo counted In much es.s time than when thero were only nine precincts. Another Heimblloon Rally.

Fosgate, a seed grower of the Santa Clara valley, California, accompanied by hh wife and daughter, Is at the Millard hotel, having stopped over a day on his way to the Atlantic coast. Ho Is part owner of a 6.10 acre farm, most of It within the city limits of Santa Clnra, where ho raises all kinds of vegetable seeds, making a specialty of onions and lettuce. "Santa Clara county Is tho largest seed growing county In the world," said he. "Tho world uses about 1,000,000 pounds nt onion seed a year, and seven-eighths ot these are grown In Santa Clara county. One cf my competitors, C. C. Moss, has between 2,000 and 3,000 acres devoted exclusively to the raising of seeds. "California truck gardeners and seed growers did welt this year, for while thev were favored with seasonable weather, plenty of rain and plenty of sunshine, in' just tho right proportion, tho rest of tho country suffered more or less from drouth. This created a demand and made the prices good. Onions and potatoes are belns; shipped out of California by the tralnlosd theso days," Chas R. Wrssmar.

Mary Slftnn Pepper has made a thorough study of tho subject, her labor in the translation ?f "The Jesuit Relations" and other work having given her exceptional qualifications for the preparation of her new work, "Maids and Matrons of New France." which Is Im portant from an historical standpoint and which as a narrative will be found enter taining nnd full of charm and Interest.

"The Marrow of Tradition," by Charles AV, Chestnut, Is a uovel of character rather than of politics. Tho scene Is laid In a southern city and the time Is that of the exciting movement for negro disfranchise ment. The fates of Individual actors In the drama arc fraught with tragic elements; thero is murder, a great wrong terribly avenged and a bloody race rtot In which many of the characters are Involved. Yet the course of tho novel is not one of gloom, It is relieved by tho story of an honest and successful love and also by the conviction pervading , tho book that these dark wavs lead toward a good Issue. Mr, Chestnut has In his now book far outstrlnaed bis earlier successes; he has written a storv that will recall at many points "Uncle Tom's Cabin," so great Is Its dramatic In tensity and so strong Its appeal to popular sympathies.
