THE OMAHA. DAILY BETS : . 3ITITPAT , JANtJAIlY 5 , 1800 , OVER A nONDRED THOUSAND Bolln's Shortage as Will Bo thown by th Exports. READY NOW TO MAKE THEIR REPORT firm of $77,70(1 Iluiunlnfl nR Ileprc Clink HeorlviMl niut Un- ncGoltsifcil For "Wan for llonil Sale * . A shortage of $115,127.70 Is what the rcpor ot the treasury experts that Is said to b forthcoming at the council meeting tomorrow evening will show. Messrs , Wlso and Wott ling , the still working remainder ot the fou experts who were set to work on City Treas urcr Bolln's books , have satisfied tliemsclvc regarding the meaning ot the unaccountc Item of | T7,700 on the bond books , whose exIstence Istonce was first made known by The Be Friday. They have found that It represent cash actually received and that there Is none \ no cash to show for It. This Is an addltlona shortage to that which was outlined Inth preliminary report of three weeks ngo , an brings the deficit resulting from the tronsur defalcation to $16,000 above the $100,00 mark. As already stated the money was for grac ! Ing district bonds said. The bonds wer In the first Instance awarded to Hayes & Co. of Cincinnati , but this company de faulted In payment. Thl wns In December 1802. The bonds were finally dlspwetl o to or through the Commercial National ban of Boston , In February , 1894. The mone came to the local banks which Treasure Bolln waa using as depositories and wn placed on their books to Bolln's credit , an at about the same tlmo was debited to him on the city books , though the first entr was in December , 18U3 , anticipating tlici sale , nnd because- the bonds 'had been mad collateral for money advanced out of th sinking fund to pay district grading war rants. It waj found that the Hem prior to th discovery of the defalcation had been handle about n good deal , having been debited thro times and credited two times. Not Ion after the bandsmen took charge of the clt treasurer's omce > on June IS , the Item wa again credited , but the experts say liter is no voucher for any expenditure on ac count of It , and that they have learned in deed thnt the entry was purely arbitrary. Mr. Fcad and Mr. Lauer struck a perllm ! nary balance , and also Comptroller OUen. an ell agreed that the shortage was likely t exceed $100,000. All of them were extreme ! worried and expressed the conviction tha It could not bo that largo and ynma mlstak must have been made. A great deal of flgur ing was done on the matter and Lauer am FeSil worked as late on It , on one occasion us 2 o'clock In the morning. How the discrepancy , was partially ac counted for was explained by Mr. Olsen few days ago. lie- said that one mornln Lauer came down saying that ho had be ! thinking about It In the night and It al came to him so vividly that he arose from lila bed and jotto.l It down on a piece o paper. The trouble was that the $77,70 had not been credited a third time , 03 I should have been. It was on that mornln that the last entry was made by Mr. Feac Mr. Fead says that he made it at Mr Lauer's direction. Mr. Lauer denies tha he < ver gave Mr. Fead any order conccrnln it. Ono of the experts claims to have tracoi about $00.000 of this sum out of the banks About $30,000 was paid on checks draw by Deputy Coulter , and a like amount o checks drawn by Bolln , but none of it I city transactions. Ho Is also quite con fldent ho can trace it all. AUVA3VTAGI3 TO IIUSIM3SS DlrcctorlcH of Other Cities nt th Public I < IIirnry.

M. Davis returned yesterday afternoon , and In speaking of the place , he said : "Cripple. Creek Is the most unique mining town that I have ever seen , and I hare been In a good many , Including Butte , An * aconda and Virginia City. None , ot thorn wore just Ilka Cripple. Crcok. Every train Into the town Is loaded with newcomers , nnd every train out Is loaded with man trying to cot away. "Thcro ere from 10,000 to 20,000 people In Cripple. Creek and In the mountains In the vicinity. Every hill within ten miles of the town has been prospected , and none of the men except those on the * ground early have been able to secure claims without buying them. Any hole In the ground Is worth from $10,000 to J25.000 , while paying claims nro not on tha market , except In the shape of stocks. There are perhaps 5,000 men working In the mines at wages which range at about $3 per day , while there are Dome 3,000 moro wbo are working claims ot their own. "The"town ot Cripple Creek Is built up with rough board shanties , without plaster on the walls and without chlmneya There. are no brick buildings. Every store and dwelling In the town Is occupied , and It Is Impossible to get a room for business pur poses. The owners ot store , rooms got fabu lous prices. At this time there are no rooms to rent to lodgers , nor arc thcro any com forts to bo had. There are two hotels , both two-story buildings , about 66x125 feet. To ono ot them there is now being built a stone addition. Hotel rates are $3 per day , with t\vo In ! i bed , rrml'ns many beds and cots as possible are crowded Into a room. "The postofflce Is besieged with people who are after mail , and from morning until late at night there Is a string of men calling for mall. There is no carrier system ami It Is Impossible to rent a box. The line of peopl at the postofilce extends fully 200 yards bac Into the street during the morning and mlc die of the day. Papers are not dellverei probably because the postodlce force Is no sufficient to handle them. There are not les than 800 buildings In course of constructlo and the yards are unable to supply the dc mand for lumber. Carpenters demand aw get miners' wages. "Tho saloons at Cripple Creek and In a ot the towns in the district are wide ope night and day , there being no locks , o latches on the doors , there being no need to Indulging In such luxuries. Bartenders wor in eight-hour shifts and every saloon has It gambling outfit , consisting of faro layouts keno , roulette , wheels of fortune , poke tables and lottery devices. Five dance house are running In full blast , and the womc constitute ? the homeliest lot that I have eve seen gathered together. They mostly com prise the scum of Denver , Pueblo and othc Colorado towns. The resorts are patronize by miners , prospectors and tenderfeet. "Tho weather at .Cripple Creek is a unique * as the town. It will snow , blow rain , freeze and thaw all during thj sam day. During my stay of two weeks , nln pccplo tiled ot pneumonia , and on the tral on which I came there were the bodies p a man and his wife being brought to Coun ell Bluffs for burial.

Smith of the Cady Lumbsr company and young Iloagland are on the ground looking up sites < or lumbs yards. "It might be well to mention thct 'No all Is gold that gllttrs. ' Whllo the street are paved with gold , much of it is of a lo\\ grade ore that cannot bo worked excep at a loss. Fortunes have been made by a few In the mines , and fortun's may be re served for a good many more who h-avo the capital to invest. " 4 A. G. Bartley of Magic.

Young Women , " In which two un sophisticated young women from ths provlnca arrive In Paris and adopt the affected style ot court language then In vogue. In the pe riod described Incidents of 4rlfilng Importance were mngnltUd and carried to the height of ridiculous pedantry by the women ot the French court nnd Hotel Hambcultlel and It was to satire this fad of society that the play was written by Mollere. The experiences of the uncle of the young women , in attempting to conform to his new surrounding * , vrero described at length In language witty and humorous , and the ultimate downfall ot the foolish custom after the rendition ot the play at a leading thoitcr was the legitimate outcome of a dlsordrcd condition of society. Miss Tobltt described the costume of Mo- Hero In the character of the marquis and tha wide popularity that the play attained among the tcnslble people ot the French metropolis. "Lea Precleuses Hldlcules" was paid to have been ono 'of Mollere's wittiest comedies , and its scintillating epigrams and. spontaneous fun.5 long survived the period for which It was written.
