HARD WORK TO PAY SALARIES

"Will there bo enough cash In the police
fund to pay the salaries for last month ? " Is
a question that Is at present seriously troub
ling the officials at the city building. Since
the money in the general and water funds
became tied up owing to the litigation In
stituted by .1. J. Shea , the salaries of the
city officials and employes have been paid
out of the police fund. So far there has been
sufficient received Into this fund each month
to meet the salaries , and the members ot
the police and fire departments and other
employes of the municipality have been able
to draw their salaries In cash Instead of war
rants. This fund , however , Is now nearly
dcplotcd and unless replenished by a "turn
over" from the county treasurer by the be
ginning of next weak , there will not bo
enough to go around , and either some of the
officials or employes will have to bo paid In
warrants.
County Treasurer Reed has money In his
hands belonging to the city from the July
tax collections and ho believes ho will bo
abfo to turn It over by the beginning of the
week. The amount needed In the police fund
to make It sufficient to pay the salary list
for last month Is about $3,000. It Is a seri
ous question whether of the money In the
hands of the county treasurer there Is a
sufficient amount that properly can bo turned
Into the police fund to meet the deficiency.
Even should enough cash bo placed Into
the police fund this month to meet the July
salaries the fund next month wltl bo com
pletely exhausted and there will bo no pos
sibility of paying the salaries otherwise than
by the old system of warrants on the gen
eral fund. These the city employes , owing
to the pending litigation , will find consider
able dlffloulty In cashing except at a largo
discount.
It takes close upon $5,000 a month to meet
the salary list of the city officials and em
ployes. The payroll of the fire department la
$1,155 , that of the police department aver
ages $1,200 , while the regular city officials
diaw $666 every thirty days. The engineer's
derartuient costs $150 a month for salaries ,
and the city electrician draws $90. Every
three months the aldermen and city physic
ian get their pay , which amounts to $526.50
per quarter. The judge of the superior court
receives $1,000 per annum from the city , paid
In two Installments of $500. Of this amount
Judge Aylceworth has so far this year only
received ono Installment. The county also
pays him $1,000 a year.
In discussing the matter yesterday Mayor
Jennings was hopeful that things would turn
out all right In time. He said : J'Wo have
done a great deal better than wo expected
and have managed to keep the boys' sal
aries paid lo date , but It now looks as If wo
had come to about the end of our tether.
If the collections are good next month wo
ought to bo able to get on a cash basis , at
least as far as the salaries are concerned ,
again by October or November. I believe
that by October 1 there wllf be plenty of
money In the police fund again. If thcso
suits wcro disposed of we could tell where
wo are at. There Is over $100,000 In the
hands of the city treasurer now lying idle
and It Is really too bad that the city can not
make use of It In relieving some of Ha In
debtedness which Is continually drawing In
terest. "

Municipal MKlithiK I'lnnt ,
Messrs. McKeh-bcn and Lovett were not
ready to make their report on an electric
light plant for the city last night , so no
meeting of the committee of the whole of
the city council was held. They stated ,
however , that they expected to have It pre
pared toddy and the committee will meet
tonight. Tha report , It Is said , will bo some
what of a surprise to the aldermen. From
the statements made by President Draffen
of the Municipal Construction company of
Chicago the rlty fathers who favor municipal
ownership wcro led to believe that an elec
tric light plant adequate for the needs of
this city could be erected for between $30.000
and $60.000. The report of Messrs. McKob-
ben and iLovett , It Is sold , will place the
cost of the construction of such a plant at
not less than $100,000 and possibly more.
The General feeling among iho aldermen
now Is that the scheme aa proposed by the
Chicago concern will fall through ,

SIOUX CITY , Aug. 1. ( Special Telegram. )
With the exception of such narrow areas
oa were stricken by hall , the storm at an
early hour this morning In this vicinity did
not do anywhere near the damage It was
feared might be the case , and the declara
tion Is made that .the benefit enjoyed from
the moisture by the corn will very much
more than counterbalance the damage denote
to the unharvested smalf grain. So far as
heard from , the principal hail region was In
the southern tier of townships In Plymouth
icounty , and it is estimated that the loss there
will bo about 25 per cent. That section seems
'to ' bo doomed more than Its share of such
visitations , but the loss this time is not so
great as has occurred In previous seasons.
The sections that suffered most from the
wind , so far as knocking the crops is con
cerned , appear to have been along the Yank-
ton line from Burbauk to the Sioux river ,
and along the Northwestern east from Ha-
warden , through Sioux and O'Brien counties ,
and south of Sioux City In the vicinity of
Sergeant Bluffs.

FRASER , la. , Aug. 1. To the Editor of
The Bee : We notice an article In The Dally
Bee of July 26 , stating that a "bloody race
war was likely" at Boone and that the white
miners were Incensed over the employment
of negro miners. That article Is absolutely
false In every particular and Intended to In
jure the mining Interests of Fraser. Wo
ask you to please Insert In your next issue
a correction of the malicious statements
contained In the article referred to.
This and similar reports concerning
affairs at Fraser arc sent out for the ob
vious purpose of creating a belief among
the miners of Iowa that Fraser Is an un
safe place to go to for employment and
that serious trouble exists between the
miners and this company. There Is no
trouble at Frasor. Our mines are In opera
tion and no more peaceful or orderly place
can be found In Iowa than Fraser Is today.
Wo discharged about thirty miners last
month , because of their attempting to re
pudiate their unexplrcd contract of employ
ment with this company. At the same time
an effort was made by those discharged
miners to organize a Miners' union and
with partial success. Possibly one-tenth of
the men Joined the union and through meth
ods peculiar to miners' unions have Intimi
dated the balance of the white miners from
working since that time. The colored miners
remained at work and we have added to
their number by hiring some sixty addi
tional colored miners.
There is no disorder or violence In any
respect occurring at Fraser and will not be
unless It Is brought on by these discharged
miners. There Is no drilling or arming
going on by the colored miners and will not
be. There are probably less than two
dozen firearms of all kinds In the town.
No murders have occurred and not oven an
ordinary scrap is of record among our col
ored people since the day the white men
were discharged.

as they fell the hind car was furthest to

car lies far beyond the rest of the wreck ,
bottom up. with the lamps standing up
ward. A set of trucks of one of the cars
ran on down to the bridge before leaving
the track.
When the wreck occurred hardly a man

time the brakeman recovered sufficiently to
go to town and give the alarm.
Mall Clerk George Llndell , thouch badly
bruised , went to work recovering mall from

This was Engineer Johnny Jackson's reg

It occurred near Kate Shelley's homo and
near the spot where she saved the train In
