Democratic Judicial Convention.
According to Hie cull Issued by Chairman
Wadswortli the democratic convention of
the Fifteenth JudlcluLdistrict, which will be
held iu this city Tuesday, July 21. will be
compos-d of but thlrty-flvo delegates.
The representation has teen f'gured by
Mr. Wailsworth thut ono delegate to every
P0 votes cant for Claude R. Porter, demo
cratic candidatn for governor, at th gen
eral election In Vi. On this basis the nine
countion composing the district are cntlt'rd
to the following representation In tho con
vention: Audubon, two; Casa, three; Fre
mont, four; Harrison, five; Mills, three;
Montg-omery, two; Page, four; Pottnwatta
mi eight; Shelby, four.
Up to dato there has been little talk as
to who is likely to be the democratic can
didate and It la not likely there will be
any rush for the nomination. The demo
cratic nomination in the Fifteenth Judicial
district Is more or less an empty honor, as
the district Is strongly republican. The
names of Emmet Tlnley and John P. Organ
' of thla city, have been mentioned, but it Is
not known whether either of them would
accept the nomination.

Joan Walker, a Silver City Farmer,
the Victim.
John Walker, a farmer living near Silver
City, was discovered lying unconscious In
the weeds near the railroad track short
distance southeaster the Burlington round
house shortly before midnight Thursday.
A switchman making his way to the round
house stumbled over Walker's body and j
notified the police.
Walker was suffering from two ugly cuts
on the side of his head. He Boon recovered
consciousness after receiving attention at
police headquarters. From his story It de
veloped that he had been slugged and
robbed by two strangers with whom he
had been acquainted earlier In the night.
His assailants had robbed him of tJ5 cash,
his watch and chain, a telescope grip con
taining I'ime personal effects and some
purchases "he had mado during the day In
this city.
Walker Is a member of the Independent
Order of Odd Fellows, and while taking a
drink In a Broadway saloon was Ap
proached by two strangers who, he said,
gave the distress signal of the order. Tho
strangers were In hard luck and In need
of -awmethlng to eat. Walker played the
part of the good Samaritan and bought the
two men a hearty meal each and wound up
by Inviting them to tnke a drink to help
It down. One drink led to another and
then the two strangers as a mark of their
appreciation suggested escorting Walker
to. the depot. There were several saloons
on the way to the depot and Walker, who
felt proud to be ablo to entertain his two
"brothers," did the treating and presurn
ably displayed his roll of bills.
When the trio renched Sixteenth avenue
Walker was lured to a dark spot Just a
little distance from the Burlington round
house on the pretext that one of his new
mnde friends wanted to see a switchman
with whom he was acquainted. When they
got him In a dark place the two men at
tacked Walker, knocking him insensible
They then robbed him of his money, watch
and chain and grip. From the appearance
of the wounds on Walker'B head, it Is be
lleved his assailants were armed with brass
knuckles.- -The
telescope grip, rifled of Its contents
was discovered yesterday morning In an
empty freight car some distance from the
roundhouse. The police have a good de
scription of the two thugs, as a number of
persons saw Walker with the two stran-
gerj during Thursday evening, but up to
a late hour lest night had failed to locale
them. . .

DES MOIXE9. July t.-Sre?l.1.) William
H. Taft will deliver an Bedrest at the lowi
state, fair this year. He has practically
given an assurance that he will accept the
Invitation. It was arranged by Mr. Taft
to come west during the summer to ac
cept a number of Invitations to speak.
After his nomination at Chicago It was
feared that he might find It necessary to
cancel some of these engagements. One of
these was at the Nebraska state fair.
Since his nomination he has given assur-
arjee that he will fill these dates and sealt
In the west and he has been induced to
come to the Iowa state fair also. The dated
of the Iowa state fair are August to 29.
The exact date on which Taft will speak
has not yet been decided pon. Governor
Cummins, who Is ex-offlcfo member of the
State Board of Agriculture, has the matter
up with Mr. Taft In correspondence and
it Is expected that the date will be settled
soon.
, It Is possible that the democratic nominee
for president may also attend on another
day of the fair and deliver an address.
These political days will be made the great
daye of the state fair of this year If the
plana of the state board are perfected.

Desert Flyer Not Flylnjr.
15UU.M-., ja., July 3. - (Special.) - Th
jt-oni riyer is not having euch an easy
time in getting across the Iowa prairies as
they thought It would when they left Chi
cago. The huge machine Is stuck In the
mud a mile and a half west of Ogden and
the prospects are that the machine will be
further stuck before Omaha la reached.
The big five-ton car left Boone with flyina-
colors Wednesday afternoon. Ogdrn was
reached on short order and the trip on
west was started. The Flyer had gone
but a mile when the accident happened.
The road was narrow and the soft mud
permitted the five-ton vehicle to slip oil
into a beautiful patch of, mud and water.
At first the occupants of the car thougnt
It haj been completely ruined, but later
developments proved that nothing serious
had happened to It. The car was burled
In soft mud up to the gasoline tank. The
men had to take their shovels, dig
trenches, drain the road, secure help and
raise the car. This done, the men found
It Impossible to go or come, and there the
car is standing, waiting for the sun to
conie out and dry up the mud. The occu
pants of the car take the misfortune good
naturedly, but are anxious for the sun to
come out again.

DEFICIT APPARENT. NOT REAL
Secretary Cortelyon Declares Antl
qaated Methods of Bookkeeping;
Are Responsible for It.
WASHINGTON, July t.-8?tr tiry Cortel
von todav gave out a statement In regard
to the situation in which he says tha
the deficit of $fin,000.000 shown by tho treas
ury statements is more apparent than real,
because of the antiquated bookkeeping
system, which Is being overhauled and con
tended that "conplderlng the ordinary re
celpts of the government," there is really
a surplus. ine secretary says moi mo
items included under ordinary expenditures
are ruch as might properly be covered by
the Issue of bonds Instead of paid out of
current revenues, the latter method con
stltuting an exhibition of financial
strength, which shows only aa imaginary
deficit. The statement cites methods of
special accounting of foreign government
along these lines.
8 cretnry Cortelyou s statement follows:
"Although tha tieasury statement! show
def cit in round numbers of S6'-,000,0W in
the operations of tho government, during
the fiscal year Just closed, tho deficit is
more apparent than real, being duo to an
antiquated system of bookkeeping which
Secretary Cortelyou' Is having overhauled
and niodernlied. Considering the ordinary
receipts of the government there ia not
only no deficit, but a surplus. The amount
of new debt created during the year was
only $7,000,010 In excess of the amount of
thu old debt redeemed, and $S5,000,000 was
expended In new public 'works cf which
Ices than half was paid for by the creation
cf a funded deM.
i'Two of tiie fundamental errors Ip the
present system of making up the treasury
statomrnts are that the proceeds of bonds
sold are not counted In the receipts, but
e.ll the money which la paid out for the
purpo.-es for which the bonds .are issued
Is Included In expenditure. In this respjet
the pructlca of the United States treasury
departs from that of all other Important
governments. The latter take care to dis
criminate between ord nary receipts, which
are devoted to the actual running expenses
of the government and extraordinary re
ceipt, which are tet aside for permanent
public works or other special purposes. The
toial amount expended by this government
for arious public works. Including the
Panama canal, during the last fiscal year
was $84,&25,323.
"Under a proper method of bookkscplng
this amount would be chargeable to ex
traordinary expenditures to be met by
loans. Putting our budget on this ba-ls
for the last fiscal year, the account would
stand as follows:
Ordinary receipts and expenditures
Receipts ., $599.835,7S

Total $117.Ji7.328
"Th deficiency in extraordinary re
ceipts paid from surplus of ordinary re
ceipts and from the free balance in the
treasury was $76,890,788.
"The items Included under extraordinary
expenditures are such as might oe prop
erly covered by the Issue of bonds In
stead of paid out of current rovenu-.-s.
That they could be paid, even in nart, out
of' current revenues is an exhibition of,
financial strength which shows that there
Is no deficit except nn lmnglpary ono.
The reduction of the debt was,' of count.,
only made because it was Justified by the
- L large free balances In the treasury.
In
most European governments' the maturity
of an old debt would be met by refunding,
leaving the principal undiminished or only
slightly reduced.
"Secretary Cortelyou has had under coi.
sideratlon for some time the thorough re
vision of the treasury statements with .
view to making them present accurately
and eaally understood the exact conulUor,
of the government's finances."

AFFAIRS AT SOUTH OMAHA
Cudahy Company Announces Exten
sive Improvements tt Plant.
NEW 0LE0 AND SOAP BUILDINGS
City Government la tp Against
Some Jerlons Problems, the
Chief of Which Are
Financial. - v
General Manager Michael Murphy of the
Cudahy Tacking company announced yes
terday Improvements of considerable extent
at the Cudahy In the near future. Tho
most Important of tho Improvements will
be the erection of a $50,000 oleo and animal
tat department. This Is to be located Just
north of tho present oleo departmnt. It
will. In fact, be an enlargement Of this
building.
Further additions have been made to the
soap department, and especially to the
manufacturing facilities for the cleansing
compound. This will add nearly half to
the former capacity. They are now able
to turn out hO.ooo pounds dayy.
The company has been engaged for over
a year In putting In cement floors In varl
ous departments. It Is announced that this
kind of fireproof and sanitary floor will be
constructed throughout the entire plant.
Speaking cf the market conditions, Mr
Murphy said: "I am much gratified to sn
nounce that In spite of the fact of recent
close times and the usual drawbacks of a
presidential year, we have received advance
orders for beef products far In excess of
our ability to fill them. We expected n
fair development with this season, but
the demand has forced us Into the mar
ket locally. Thla partly explains the high
prices paid, locally for beef cattle of
quality."
The Cudahy Packing company has been
the heaviest buyer during the last six
weeks or more. They bought the top cat
tie at $8 on several days.
The hog market yesterday was the high
est of the year; $iUG was paid for 200 head
The average price was about $6.05.
Some Problems for City.
The city government has several problems
to contend with Jist at rrfsent. The ft
nances are the chief Items. Yesterday the
city treasurer submitted his estimate o
the amount of the Interest levy for the
ensuing year. He found that It would cost
the city Jll.i30S.16 to rreet these obligations.
This ta Iho largest by considerable In the
history of the city. This Item also Includes
maturing obligations. In order to raise tills
amount the council will have to make a
levy of 3.8 mills. The limit Is 3.5 mills.
This means that no more bonds or very few
moro may be Issued until there It some
modification of the charter. The bonded
debt of South Omaha Is now nearly $1,500.-
0 0. The present administration proposes to
live within the terms of the City charter.
Architect John Later.ser Is indignant will,
the council for Its action on the city Jail.
The council at Its last meeting proposed
to settle with the Champion Iron works on
consideration that 'it pay half of the re
pairs, but receive the balance due. It.
claims that the city owes $2,800 in round
numbers. The architect says not. He puts
the figures at slightly over $1,900. The
Champion Iron works accounts for the
difference on the ground that certain
cfianges were ordered and that above $900
is due for extras. Mr. Latenser proposes
to open the whole controversy again If
possible. He says he gave permission for
no extras.
Of more Impo:t kill Is the fact
that the previous administration con
templated an expense of about $72,000, with
a fund of only $70,00 with which to pay It.
The city hall fund at present Shows a
deficit of $2,000. In addition to this the
modifications proposed, and In progress,
for the Jail will cost another $2,0o0. The
furniture corjtracts, the vault fixtures and
similar expense will cost nearly $1,000 un
less the present administration pays no at
tention to the awards of the previous ad
ministration. 6o a total deficit of the dem
oen : administration on the city Hall will
be about $8,000.
Y. M. C. A. Notes.
Secretary Young Is back from his vaca
tion trip. He spent the time In Colorado.
At the board meeting Thursday evening
It was decided to nllow the general sscre ary
a two weeks' leave of absence, that ho
might assist In the building campaign for
funds at Norfolk. That city still needs
about $11,000 to complete the canvass and
assure the building, and a determined ef
fort Is to be made to secure that amount.
Williams will begin the work of renovat
ing nnd repairing the gymnasium early
next week. Some decidedly new and needed
Improvements will be made.
The educational work committee Is busy
these days. Plans for a successful enter
tainment course have already been per
