The progressives held a meeting 1.. t evening and adjourned to meet again next Wednesday evening, at which time the question of whether or not they will place a ticket in the field will be decided. The nominajons must be made next week. The republicans are asking no favors from the bull moosers or any one else, having issued an official call for a convention for next Tuesday evening, when they will nominate a complete city ticket. If the progresi.'ves or independents want to come into the fold they will no doubt be : flowed to do so, but the republicans I want it understood, that they will run the affair. Charles N.

It is good to know that during the fiscal year ending September 3®, 1013. State Treasurer Volmer paid ?280,000 on the state debt. Other

He is responsible for the safeguarding of many millions of dollars which come into his custody each year. Hut the system in his office is so well devised and his help so efficient that every cent is accounted for in its proper relation.
