LINCOLN, Dec. 3. (Sticclal.)-The re
port of Auditor AVenton for the six raontlw

cutetBtiOln? for that period. On June 1,
thin year, the total outitandlrijt Indebted
aes wa Jl,g7l,495.S5. Thore were lMii.d
during tbo alz rponthM covbrcd by tho re

warrants which wern paid off and canceled
mounted to 141.800.01, leaving th nmouut
eutatandlnc on December 1 $2,037,460.31.
Apparently this Is an nlnrrtllVii; Increase
In the outstanding IndcbtcOretis, but It
bould be understood that over J33n,000 of
tho 'total amount represents warrants Is
Ued for extraordinary purpoe. Sub
trartlns this latter amount the outstanding

than Is shown by tho report. The extraor
dinary expenditures may be named as fol
lows: Tor rebuilding pnnltentlary, $75,000;
for purchasing state fair grounds, $35,000;

th .fusion administration. $119,112; for
miscellaneous rlalros, $33,623; for the
state's exhibit at th nuffalo exposition,
$10,000.
A comparison of recent reports of tho
auditing department shows tbat tho put
landing IndebtHness of the state Is in
creasing at the rate of $100,000 per year.
On November 30, ISPS. It was $1,571,000; on
November 30. IPOrt. It wan $1,727,000, white
