Governor Marshall and Ralston have been obliged to borrow money from time to time in order to meet the demands that came up, but all of this money has ' been paid and after the next settle- 1 ment is made by the county treasurers the State will be in good shape financially. It is tn view of these facts i that men like Governor Ralston, Chair- i man Korbly and others are perfectly willing that the Republicans shall go ahead and attempt to make It appear that the Democrats have been extravagant in handling the State’s funds. ‘ o—- ~, BICYCLE FOUND —Owner can have same by calling at Wear-U-Well shoe store, describing wheel and paying for this ad, 18913

FIRST GREAT BATTLE OF WAR IN PROGRESS (CONTINUES FROM PAGE ONE) new Krupt guns according to a statement by a war official. These guns wrought havoc in the French lines, having a much longer range than had been possible before. It is also claimed that the German marksmanship was poor. The French artillery was used to advantage and under cover of the guns, the French charged in force. Fighting was still in progress according in its latest advices. The war office in its account of the fighting at Luxemburg announced that the German commanding general made a demand on the French commander to surrender. ‘‘This was indignantly refused,” said the announcement, ‘‘and the enemy was told that if he wanted the position to come and take it.” Up to the present the fort is holding out but as it is an old one it is considered probable that the French will not try to hold it.

HOW ABOUT THAT FIFTEEN MILLIOW

counties, you hnow, by tbe ‘ late Republican regime. The Republican papers all over the state are prating about Increased expenditures in state administrationwhich they falsely attribute to an increase in boards, commissions and wasteful extravagance of the people’s money. But not one of them has One Word of explantion to offer about their own party’s financial record I while in power. The Republican advance calls amounted to FIFTEEN MILLIONS. Neither do we hear one single word about the stack of unpaid bills which State Auditor O’Brien found on his desk when he took over the office! (from his Republican predecessor. Another little matter—the Hanly i administration by an act of legislature | in 1905, transferred the three cent sinking fund levy, in its entirety, to the general fund, and used the pro'ceeds of the tax. amounting to approximately $1,500,000, for the payment of current expenses. That gave the Hanly administration, in effect, a tax levy of
