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.”-- New York Sun. A tribute of love. God in his mysterious providence has removed from parents little Lelia Bowden.

A Fhiknd. 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.
