A Use Tor Worthless Stocks.
•'tCildcat raining stocks are not alto
gether useless, or worthless either,”
said a broker who handles cheap iniu
ing stocks the other day as he hung up
the telephone receiver. "Here’s a man
who just offered me SSO for enough
mining stocks to have a face value of
$50,000. He wasn’t particular what
stocks he got if they only had a paper
value of $50,000. I closed the deal
and will make money on it too. What
did he want with such stocks? Well,
I haven’t the slightest doubt but that
he is getting ready to go Into the bank
ruptcy court and w-ants to show his
creditors where Ms money has been
dropped. We often get such requests
and are usually, able to fill them.”--

A tribute of love.
God in his mysterious providence
has removed from parents little Lelia
Bowden. Lila came to brighten the
home of her parents but her pre< 1 us
soul winged its way to the celestial
home on July 14th.To the grief strick
en parents we extend our deepest
sympathy and our prayer is that the
God of all grace may give unto you
that which you need in this trying
hour. A rare flower has been pluck
ed hearts and home have been made
desolate and to you berieved parents
the world is no doubt dark. Your
heart beats with sorrow because death
has taken away a precious member of
the family. But you are not without
sympathy as Jesus mingled his tears
with those of Mary and Martha. So
we will mingle our tears with you for
littel Lelia for we are acquainted with
such. Sorrow it is not a trial with
out some comfort Some where for if it
was not for a blesslngJ esus we could
net bear such grief and in him is the
only comfort we can everlina for all
the good sympethizing words of our
dear friends does not heal the broken
heart and only God can help and
comfort with a sad and sympathizing
heart. The writer visitedjlittle Led 1
while she was sick and as I never
knew much about her but her dear
.lit)tner said many rimes she was
always such a good little thing and to
tier little sister and three brothers
and parents to look to Jesus for com
fort aid prepare to meet sweet little
L<lia in that bright home above
v\ here she is a shining little angel in
Heaven today and what a sweet
thought to know after all our trials
hi re are that we can see the n again
and can bo an unbroken family a

JUGGLING CITY ACCOUNTS.
Lincoln (Neb.) Citizens Kept In the
Dark as to the Cost of Thoir Street
Lights.
Lincoln, Nob., is getting an unenvia
ble notoriety through the ;. 1;.* .. 1 . of
its officials to make it appear that its
expensive municipal electric plant is
supplying arc lights at u low figure.
In the report of the city auditor for
the seven months ended March 31,
1900, although some of the elements of
cost were omitted, the evident inten
tion was to give a fair showing. But
unfortunately it was shown that the
cost ($73.08 a year for lamps burning
only 2,580 hours) was larger than the
contract price for lamps supplied by
private companies in neighboring cities.
This was unsatisfactory, of course.
Accordingly in the annual report for
the year ended Aug. 31. 1000, there
was a deliberate omission of deprecia
tion and Interest charges on Unit part
of (he plant’s cost not covered by bonds
$21,001, or one-quarter of the total
construction cost. Apparently, also,
the ligating schedule had been reduced
to keep the cost down, as (he report
show* that the lamps burned only 1.000
hours during the year. By the ;e de
vices the cost was reduced to hot). 00.
Boon after the appearance of this re
port tli* mayor gave out In a newspa
per Interview that the plant had ! een
grossly maligned and that It was fur
nishing lights all night and every night
at a cost of $51.12 u year. It is chari
table to suppose that his honor was
u'ifivvsre of the fact that to give all
every night service the lamps
mut burn 4.000 hours n year instead
of 1.01 *. as sown by tin* report quoted
a
At about the time (lie mayor’s In
vestigation appeared an Investigation
of tin* plant was made by Professors
(’. 11. Kioliards and (1. 11. Morse of tin;
Unive.'sit;. of Nebraska. Their detail
ed report gives the cost per arc per
annum as $98.84 for an all night serv
!•. nearly double the cost claimed by
the mayor. This report was made by
•b* < y’s consulting engineer, but
Mayor Bfov,#, who Is a cdndkbite for
n* election, has apparently not accept
ed Its findings, although, according to
th Qnmfca Bee, he now places the coat
at $.29.
It is worth noting that the original
estimate for this plant was $55,000
construction cost and $25,105 annual
excuse. The actual construction cost,
as •liown In the auditor's report, was
$80,091, nearly 58 per cent in excess of
the estimate. The annual expense, as
shown by the expert report, is $32,-
519, exceeding the estimate by 23 per
cent.
This is a typical example of the sort
of underestimating that leads cities to
adopt municipal ownership and also of
the official juggling of figures by
which the public Is temporarily pre
vented from learning that it has a
white elephant on its hands.
