Appropriated Before the
OpenlnaT of Year.
The condition of the municipal finances,
due to the unusual expenditure! Incurred
and authorized by the city council, to
gether with the prospect of deficiency
Instead of an excess in the anticipated
revenue of the general fund, decided City
Auditor McAneney that It was time the
city council took cognizance of the gravity
of the situation. In a communication to
the city council last night Mr. McAneney
called attention to the fact that not only
were several of the appropriations ex
hausted, but that obligations had been In
curred to meet which there were no funds
and that he would decline to draw any
warrants on the general fund In excess
of the amount appropriated st the begin
ning of the fiscal year.
The communication from the city auditor
was deemed of such Importance that It
was decided to hold a special meeting of
the committee of the whole Friday even
ing to consider it.
The communication follows: .
Part of paragraph 16 of section OM of the
supplement of the code of Iowa reads as
follows:
"Appropriations In cities of the first and
second clasa, the council shall make the ap
propriation for all the different expendi
tures of the city government for each fiscal
year, at or before the beginning thereof,
and It shall be unlawful for it or any offi
cer, ugent or employe of the. city to Issuo
any warrant, enter into any' contract, or
appropriate any money. In excess of the
amount thus appropriated, for the different
expenses of the city, during the year for
which said appropriation shall be made.
Any such city shall not appropriate, In the
aggregate, an amount In excess of Its an
nual legally authorized revenue; but nothing
herein shall prevent such cities from antici
pating their revenues for the year for which
such appropriation Is made, or from bond
ing or refunding their outstanding Indebted
ness.'' 1 quote you also supreme court ruling on
this law, Windsor againot Des Moines
110-175: i
"The object of thia subdivision requiring
expenditures only as the result of appro
priations. Is to place municipal corporations
on a cash basis, preventing the accumula
tion of a floating Indebtedness.".
At the beginning cf the fiscal year the
city council, In accordance with law antici
pating the total revenue of the city and In
clusive of the small balance then In the
treasury, appropriated 38U,(K0 for the curnent
expenses of the year. i
As you know, the anticipated Income of
the city Is based only upon the regular 10-
put up by him with his bid on the con
struction of the proposed municipal water
works plant was read and was ordered re
ceived and plsced on file without discussion.
The city clerk was Instructed to return
the check to Mr. Wlckham.
The request of Mrs. John Keller that
he be permitted to erect a three-foot wide
Iron stairway on Fourth street to provide
access to the second and third floors
of the building owned by her at
the corner of Broadway and Fourth
street was referred to the committee of the
whole. When this request was gnade a
few years ago by thf) late John ' Keller,
property owners In the Immediate vicinity
protested against the stairway.
The city electrician was Instructed to In
vestigate and ascertain what firms or In
dividuals the street railway company was
furnishing electrical power to and to report
to the committee of the whole at the meet
ing Friday night.
Bids for furnishing coal for the various
city departments were( submitted by the
Csrbon Coal company, the Fenlon-Wlck-ham
Coal company and me lroge-Klddle
company. All three firms bid on different
grades of soft coal, while the Carbon
company offered anthracite at 110.50 per
ton, the Fenlon-Wlckham company at
310.25 and the Iroge-Klddle company at
310. The bids were referred to the city
clerk for tabulation and report to the com
mittee of the whole Friday evening.
An amended ordinance providing for the
licencing of distributing advertising mat
ter was passed to Its second reading and
sent to the committee of the whole.
Complaint on Roads.
W. H. James, president of the Pottawat
tamie county Rural Mall Carriers' asso
ciation called attention to the bad condi
tion of the roads known aa Grand avenue
and Mynster avenue and the chairman of
the committee on streets and alleys was
directed to confer with the Board of County
supervisors and see if assistance from the
county could not be obtained, as part of
the highway complained of Is outside the
city limits.
In a communication, Dr. Bower, the city
"health officer," called attention to the
necessity of sending the city health officer,
chairman of the Board of Health and one
member to the annual meeting of the State
Board of Health at Des Moines October
13 and 17. In his communication Dr. Bower
conveyed the Impression that the attend
ance of these representatives was com
pulsory. It was decided that the city
would be represented as suggested at the
meeting provided It was found that such
attendance was compulsory, but not other
wise. The council adjourned to next Monday
night.
SMITH TO CAMPAIGN IX INDIANA
Congressman Brings Good Report
from Kansas.
Congressman Walter I. Smith, who re
turned Sunday from a week's campaigning
In Kansas, left last evening for Indiana,
where he will put In a week speaking. On
his return ha will give one week to speeches
mill tax levy, which will give the city about outside his own district and the last two
337.000 per annum, but also from all other ! week, he w, ieV0t9 to the Ninth district.

contributing ordinarily about sufficient
revenue to make up the amount appro
priated. Revenues Fall Short.
The anticipations upon which the 30.000
estimate was based have not been realized
and every Indication points to the prob
ability that the total general revenues of
the city for the fiscal year will fall short
of instead of exceeding the amount upon
which the different appropriations , wero
based.
The executive department appropriation
remains intact and no emergency will prob
ably arise to change the status of the bal
ance In same.
The appropriation for the engineering de
partment was 34,&0, which covered the
salaries of the regular force only In ad
dition to this will have to he considered the
feeding and shoeing of the horses belor.
ing to the department, the employment of
two special engineers nnd the additional
expense of supplies, repairs, etc. All told
It will require about 3TO0 to cover yils defi
ciency and will come from emergency ap
propriation. The high pricea existing for forage for
department horses will probably cause a
deficit In both police and fire departments,
and 1n the police department will be
about the amamt of the fuel bill, which
la.t year was J-'iOO.
Due to the fact that there was expended
for repairs, etc., on city hall. 3ST0.-15, there
remains in the city hall appropriation a
balance of SSM M to pay custodian's salary
for seven months, amounting to 355. The
Incidental exper.aes and the coal bills for
seven months, which last year amounted to
about 34iO, making In all, practically $X'i6
to bo paid from a balance of 33S3.23, and
the poor old emergency appropriation will
have to bear the burden of the deficit of
about 3500.
The amount appropriated for streets and
alleys, 39,0(10, Is exhausted and the "auxil
iary" road fund la running low, and In
case we have some more of the bad
weather we had In the early part of the
year, we may have to appeal to emergen
cies for relief.
In the health department there will be
another dellclency to be made up from
the over-worked emergency aproprlatlon,
of possibly 3S", although It mav be a
great deul more, dependent upon the flnnl
action as a problem with which your hon
oruble body lias been wrestling for the last
five nunths.
No appropriation was made for election
purposes, and the appropriation for prlnt
lii gand supplies will .be barely sufficient
to defray the regular expense anticipated
when the appropriation was made.
The electrical department bv elose

Congressman Smith looks for a big re
publican majority in Kansas. "Kansas
will return about the same majority for
Tsft as It returned for McKlnley In 190,"
said Mr. Smith. "While the people appear
to be Interested in the campaign, there Is
no greater political excitement there than
In this state. Kansas has eight members
of tho lower house of congress and they
ate all republicans. Indications are that all
of the districts In the Sun Flower s ate
will elect republicans again this year.
There Is not much of a cry for a change
In Kansas, for they are getting rich out
there. Their advances In this respect are
Crcater tha,n they have been here In Iowa,
for their land was cheaper and the prof.ts
have been greater."
Congressman Smith said the Taft train
reached Kansas before he left the state,
but he was In another portion and there
fore was unable to say what the effect
of Mr. Taft's visit was.
Matters In District Coort.
. On the application of Mrs. Katherlne W.
Fogarty, widow of the late D. J. Fogarty
and administratrix of his estate, T. O.
Turner of this city was yesterday ap
pointed by Judge Thornell of the district
court, temporary guardian for Kate
Fogarty a sister of her diseased husband.
Miss Fogarty la entitled to a share In the
estate left by Fogarty, but la at present In
In Institute for the Insane at Washington,
D. C, and the appointment of a guardian
for her was necessary In order that her
Interest In the estate of her brother might
be taken car of.
Elmer E. Smith, chairman of the republi
can central committee, left last evening
for Bloomlngton, 111., hla former home, to
attend the funeral of an uncle. He ex
pects to return Friday of this week.
R. C. Spencer of Audubon, democratic
candidate for congressman for the Ninth

Where the Pinch Comes.
There has been paid from the emergency
appropriation of 31.S80 on account of state
examiner's fees, refund taxes and sundry
small Items, IM1.22, leaving a balance of
31.848.78 September 1, lis. Under the most
favorable conditions and mangement, the
city coal bill alone, will absorb this bal
ance, snd we are up against a proposition
to provide for the balance of any deficit
that may crop out in the departments,
and we have a more serious proposition
of contracts made, and obligations Incur
red recently, to the amount of at least
32.OJ0. which under the opinion of the city
attorney cannot be paid from any special
fund and which section &8 of the supple
ment to the code says cannot be paid from
the general fund.
The way the law appears to me. Is that
the city auditor cannot draw warrants on
the general fund for more than the 3S0.O0O
appropriation, and that, dependent on the
Income of the city, and these warrants can
he drawn only for the purposes Tamed
In the appropriation ordinance, adopted by
j the city council In March, 1908. It Is up to
your nonoranie ooov to meet iny present
emergency, as I will have to decline to
draw warrants on the general fund for
sny purpose other than provided for un
der Hfctlon fifiX, until a lesal onlnlon Is
rendered covering the matter fully.

provide uniform warmth in all rooms, far and near, and under perfect control. They bring no ash
dust or coal-gases into the living-rooms, greatly reducing house -cleaning and saving much wear
on carpets and furnishings. They are noiseless, absolutely safe, and outlast the house. They
require no more caretaking in heating 5 to 15 rooms than to Tun a stove for one room. The fuel
savings, health protection, and cleanliness soon repay their cost

plication of No d an and Frank Rains
barger for pardon. Ralnsbarger is the first
-husband of Mrs. Haley and Is the father of
Mrs. Link. The daughter )ias never seen
her father, being born a short time after
his arrest for the murder of Enoc Johnson,
the father of Mrs. Haley and grandfather
of Mrs. Link. W. V. Willcox, pension
agent nt this place, and aheriff of Hardin
county during the reign of terror when the
Ralnsbargera were notorious outlaws, also
apopared before the board of parole to ar
gue against the pardon of the two men.
In the hearings before the board today
the entire history of the Ralnsbargers and
their career of outlawry was rehashed.
Except for the fact that their career of
crime was cut much shorter It rivaled in
a way the famous Jesse James gang. The
Ralnsbargers became so bold In their oper
ations that they would steal a 'cow or
horse before the eyes of the owner and In
form him that he had better keep his
mouth shut. After the arrest and Indict,
ment of two of the boys, a third got his
picture taken with a buttery of revolvers
and daggers In his hands and belt and had
them distributed among the witnesses and
the public generally.
There were five of the brothers originally
and they operated In the early 80'a. The
country was flooded with counterfeit
money and the government sent detectives
to Investigate. The money was traced to

Enoc Johnson, the father-in-law of Nate
Ralnsbarger. Johnson was arrested but
afterward released on bond. The Ralns
bargers took out Insurance on his life and
then he was found dead. The wives of
Nate and Frank Ralnsbarger turned state's
evidence and told how the men came home
with blood on their hands the next morn
ing. They were all arrested and Phln and
Manse Ralnsbarger were dragged from the
Jail' and lynched. The other two were

penitentiary ever since.
Tomorrow the state board will hear the
petition In the case of George Weems, who
was convicted of complicity In' the mur
der of Conductor Rldpath on the Rock
Island at this place. The board heard the
case before and it was continued to give
further time to Weems" attorney to find
evidence that would prove an alibi, for
Weems. It Is generally believed that this
evidence will be produced at this time.

loo, a boy of 19 convicted of a minor crime,
was heard today, his sister, Mrs. Kimbell,
