FINANCES ARE IN BAD SHAPE
0n-Hif of Fitcil Tear Gone and Nnmbir
of Fundi Alm-Mst Expensed.
SEWER FUND IS LARGELY OVERDRAWN
Fire aal Police Departments Have
Kept Well Within the Appropria
tions for Thoae Pnrpoo
Statement by Auditor
How to tide over the remaining half of
the fiscal year Is a problem which the city
administration Is finding extremely difficult
to solve. With but six months of the fiscal
year gone th appropriations for ths main
tenance of certain of the municipal depart
ments are practically exhausted and the
law strictly prohibits any expenditures In
excess of such appropriations.
The police and fire departments have up
to date kept within their respective appro
priations and with proper management the
balances In these funds will be sufficient
for the remainder of the fiscal year. The
same la true of the engineer's department,
but In several other departments there la
a very different story by City Auditor
Smith's report for the alt months closing
September 80.
The sum of 88.000 was appropriated for
streets and alleys and of this sum the com
mittee In charge of this department, ot
which Alderman Tlnley is chairman, has
already in the first six months of the year
expended 87,763.81, leaving but the paltry
balance of 1238.69 with which to clean and
otherwise care for the streets and alleys of
the city for the remaining half year. This
balance Is not even sufficient to meet the
salary of Street Commissioner Avery.
For the contingent fund 86,900 was appro
priated, but the fund is now practically
exhausted. To date 86,615.02 has been ex
pended out of thlB fund, leaving but 82S4.98
with which to meet any contingencies that
may arise during the next six months. Out
of the contingent fund appropriation tha
city has paid for the new municipal heat
ing plant and building. The question has
been raised whether this could be legally
deemed a "contingency" and the cost of
the buildlne and heating plant paid out of
the contingent fund.
letter Fnnd Overdrawn.
The cost of the dredge for Indian creek
and the expense of operating It has bees,
paid out of the sewer fund, for which a
tax Of 1 mill was levied. This levy realises
about 83,733. added to which there was a
balance of about 82,8 left per by the re
publican administration when It retired
from office on April -l lajst, thus making a
total of $6,668 for the sewer fund. Up to
date, however, warrants aggregating $7,220
for the dredge alone have been drawn on
the sewer fund, not to mention the ordl
nary running expenses of the sewer depart
ment, which have In the first six months
been about $1,700. These extraordinary ex
penditures resulting from the excavating
of Indian' creek will cause a big overdraft
In the sewer fund, which will have to be
met out of next year's levy. ;
The Improvement fund has also been
heavily drawn n, the city having within
thet first- half ' ' the fiscal year paid out
over $5,000 for its share of the cost of street
paving and other Improvements which It
was found the abutting property was unablt
to stand.
City Auditor Smith's report for the first
half year ending September 80, showing
tbe amounts appropriated for each depart
ment, the amounts expended up to date
and tha balances on which the several de
partments will have to be maintained for
the remaining six months follows:

Long; Termor Is Insane.
John- Gregory, the horss thief and des
perado who was sent to the Fort Madison
penitentiary for twenty years In May, 1900,
from Council Bluffs, has become Insane.
Word to this effect was received yesterday
by Freeman Reed, clerk of ths district
court, from the State Board of Control.
Last week Gregory waa examined by the
prison physician1 who pronounced him In
sane, and ths State Board, of Control has
ordered his removal to ths Insane depart
ment at the Anamoaa penitentiary, where
he will bo confined until he completes his
sentence or Is cured, In which latter event
he will be taken back to Fort Madison.
- Gregory, who had served several terms la
the penitentiary, waa convicted here under
the habitual criminal act. His arrest here
followed the theft of a team of mules to.
Nebraska, which he drove Into this state.
He was tracked to a grading camp at
Loveland, whers he shot and seriously
wounded Constable Hardin Moss. After
shooting the officer he forced young Joe
Morgan, a son of the then sheriff, John
Morgan, to get Into a buggy with him and
drive him In his effort to escape. He
finally let young Morgan go and then, la
Garner township, forced a farmer to hitch
another team ' to his buggy to take the
place of the other horses, whlcb were ex
hausted. He waa intercepted on the road
near the Iowa School for the Deaf by Of
ficers Albro and James of the city police
force,, and after a running . fight, during
which a number of shots were exchanged.
Gregory was shot In the knee by Albro and
captured.

Extract of pepsin, warranted to cure all
manner of Ills, at $1 per bottle,; with a
chsnce in a grand prise drawing, In which
there are no blanks, ia what a man giving
the name of J. Wilson has been peddling)
around the outskirts of the city. The po
lice are anxious to And Mr. Wilson, as they
have grave suspicions that his business Is
not entirely legitimate, but so far he has
Succeeded In evading them.
The bottles containing ths extract of
pepsin which Wilson has euoeoeded In sell.
j Ing bear the labal of tbe Ward Manufactur
ing company, Chicago. On hie receipts
Wilson gavs his placs of business as Tn
West Broadway. That this happened to be
a vacant building aroused the suspicions
ef the police, and the persons who had In
vested thalr money with Wilson. In each
ease reported to tbe police the purchaser
of a $1 bottle of the extract, according to
the receipt given by Wilson, waa entitled
to a prise valued at $20.- The prises, ac
cording to Wilson, ranged from whole bed
room euttes to upholstered rockers, and
were to be- delivered between November
1 and 6. Blnce the discovery that Wilson's
place ef business Is a vacant storeroom
the fond hopes of his customers of adding
to their household goods have vanished
Into thin air.
Matters In District Conrt.
In district court yesterday Judge Macy,
at the close of the testimony for the plain
tiff In the suit of August Turk against the
Illinois Central Rallrond company, took
the case from the Jury and directed a ver
dict for the defendant company, Turk
sued to recover $1,950 damages for the flood
ing of his land In Crescent township and
the drowning of several head of stock by
the overflowing of Pigeon creek, he alleg
ing that the construction of the railway
grade had obstructed the free flow of the
stream and turned It back on his land. It
Is said that fifteen to twenty other similar
suits by farmers In the same vicinity
hinged upon the result of the suit brought
by Turk.
In the personal Injury damage suit of
Robert Young, Jr., against the motor com

tional candidates. Congressman Hull Is to
return home at once to make a canvass of

him that he deserted a wife in New York
and after committing perjury and forgery
came to Iowa. She learned of his where
abouts when he had married another In
Woodbury county and she sent Information
