AGAIN OUT OF MONEY; “ECONOMY” BY DEMOCRATS.

State House Crowd Will Call For Money Not Due Until June to Pay March and April Bills. State house democrats said in January they would, not call on the counties for advance payments of taxes until June 1. They were mistaken. They now .admit they must call in April, this month, for money with which to pay March and February bills. The April call.for advance payments ahead of the regular June settlement is to be made because there is no money in the state treasury to meet the state’s running expenses. Similar calls have been made thre-: times before since the bginning oi 'he fiscal year 1912. Ending the fiscal year 1911 by eating a $51,000 deficit hole in the income of the year 1912, the democrats found it necessary to call for advance payments last October ahead of the December settlement, and they called again in November for all the money counties could furnish. They had called before, in September and obtained $153,000 of the state’s 1912 income to patch the fag end of 1911. The state house democrats are bragging because they were able to stave off bill collecting in March and February. It was only by delaying settlement of many legitimate bills made by officials, boards, institutions, etc., that the democrats were enabled to go through March without calling for money with which to pay February bills. As it is, they present' the spectacle of an “economy” administration, yelping for help in April because of March bills and February neglect. What with the bills laid over from the first half of the fiscal year, the democrats are up against the real thing to meet the piled up expenses now due and to be paid out of money raised this month by their advance call. It will be necessary to ask the counties to send in all the money on hand to the state’s account. This will bring in something like $400,000 or $450,000. This will be licked up instanter, and there will be a new call in May for money with which to pay April expenses. Then will come May’s bills to be paid in June, and mighty little will be left in county treasuries, to be sent in as the “June settlement.” Of course, the money raised for the June settlement is supposed to be used to pay the state’s expenses in the six months thereafter. But if the money is' not there; if the money is spent in advance, of course, there must be another recourse to advance calls on the December settlement of 1912. It cost the democrats $391,000 in January to pay the state’s bills. The average in 1911 was $385,000 a month. At this latter average, the democrats must raise by advance calls between now and the June Settlement, the neat sum of $1,155,000. That is how far short they are of making ends meet at this time. Will they be able to get the money? Wow and where will they raise it? And if it is not to be had, where will the state house democrats and their deficit land ?

Anniversary Capture at The Battle of Babine Cross Roads.

On April 8, 1864, forty-eight years ago, I was taken prisoner at the battle of Sabine Cross Roads. I. was a member of Company H, of the 46th Indiana regiment, and there were 77 of that regiment captured, including Lieuten ant-Colonel Aaron M. Flary, Capt Wm. M. DeHart and Chaplain Hamilton Robb. The federal loss at this battle was 600 killed and wounded and 1,250 taken prisoners. I did not submit to capture without a struggle, and received two bayonet wounds, one in my right hip and another in the calf of my right leg. | We were hastened to Mansfield, where we were kept one night- and the following morning we wereistarted to a southern military prison at Camp Ford, Texas, where we underwent abuses that were so barbarous as to be almost unbelievable. For months we were huddled without shelter, almost without clothes, and with puttrld meat and stale cornmeal as our daily ration. Vicious guards shot men 'down for the most trivial offenses and hundreds died from the hardships and privations imposed by the hard-hearted commander of the prison. As I look back over this almost half century and think of the atrocities committed by the fiend who- cammanded the hellpen in which we were kept, and realize all the hardships which we endured, I wonder I lived through it and came out with my mind clear and with sufficient of my former body of which to construct a human being. There was only about one blanket for each 20 men, only one pan in which to cook our meat and meal for each 10 men; we had no hats, many had no shirts, our trousers were torn off to the knees. The hot Texas sun burned us and baked our brains, the nights were cold, the rains made a mud hole of the pen where we were guarded and we had barely a few fires about which we huddled. Often a lad died while lying on the ground with the rain falling over him in torrents. Dugouts, which were made by many of the prisoners, would fill with water and the most horrible conditions ensued. It is doubtful if the prison conditions of any barbarious war ever approached the horrors of a southern military prison. When, on Dec. 15th, the remaining prisoners of the 46th and those from various other regiments were paroled and proceeded to New Orleans by the way of Houston and Galveston, some men died in crossing the gulf between Galveston and New Orleans. Their brave hearts gave way in the very sight of liberty. At New Orleans as we marched up the main streets a queer sight we made. 1 had no shoes, no hat, no shirt, just a pair of trousers that were worn out below knees, but I gave no thought to my appearance. I was free and that meant so much to me. I remained in the army, becoming a veteran and served until discharged Sept. A, 1865.

JAMES E. PASSONS.

Despite a cold and brisk north wind yesterday the greater portion of our feminine population ventured forth in their Easter bonnets and spring suits. All churches were well attended and, so to speak, you couldn’t see the minister for hats. After the morning services were over, there wended their way through the main thoroughfares of Rensselaer such a dazzling and bewildering galaxy of beautious and gay colors, as to make the heart of the ancient Socrates beat loud and hard in his bosom.

The Methodist ladies cleared SIOO at their apron bazaar last week. The man who has fat hogs to sell this summer will get 8 cents • per pound. Plenty of them for feeding at the Sparling sale.

Ringling Brothers’ Circus In Chicago All This Week.

.... Ringling Brothers’ circus, with the newly added $500,000 wordless spectacle, Joan of Arc, will begin a short engagement at the Coliseum in Chicago on Saturday night, April 6. After the first performance two shows will be given daily. The spectacle Itself will be the most notable amusement event in the history of Chicago,.sur perbly mounted on the biggest stage in the world, and with a cast of 1200 characters, a ballot of 300 dancing girls, a chorus of 300 voices, an orchestra of 100 musicians, and 500 horses. The story of the inspired peasant girl who became the deliverer of her country is graphically and dramatically told by a series of manificent stage pistures, ensembles, impressive pageantry, superb music, and marvelous, electrical effects. Novelty is the keynote and background of the regular circus performance. The show is filled with thrilling acts and foreign sensations. Of the 375 artists, fully 200 will make their first American appearance at the Coliseum opening. Chief among these new performers are the Ty-Bell sisters, known as the “human butterflies;” Carlos Ceasare, “the man with the head of iron;” John Roony, the greatest equestrian in the World; Huling’s two troupes of trained seals, and Joseph La Faleur, who does a backward dive from the dome of the Coliseum to the floor of the arena. The menagerie is even more attractive than in past years. Among its more important exhibits are Big Fritz, the tallest giraffe ever captured; the only real live gorilla ever seen in America, and a man-like chimpanzee from the Congo. There are forty elephants, thirty camels, and 108 cages, dens, and tanks, filled with Mother Nature’s oddities.

Trinity M. E. Church.

Sunday was a great day in inspiration, in devotion and in attendance. The Sunday school went up higher in attendance and the missidn offering was over S6B. The church was filled at morning and ’evening services. At night the large congregation could not all be seated in the audience room. Mrs. Fell preached an excellent seimon in the morning from the text: “The righteous shall flourish like the palm trees.” Ps. 92:12. In the afternoon she spoke from Acts 9:6. “Lord, what wilt thou have me to do;” This was an appeal to the young people to give up their lives to the cause of the. Master. At night she delivered a forceful sermon from Gen. 3:9. “Adam, where art thou?” This was a sermon to search out those who are not standing out for God. I In these meetings and outside in visiting, Mrs. Fell has shown herself to be an efficient workman, rightly handling the word of truth. Her influence for God is felt in this community and will continue. It is an ad, vantage to our communtity to have her with us after the meetings close, for she can help the church care for ttreseconvertsand follow upany who. are waiting for later decisions. She has made visits both forenoon and afternoon, for these three weeks and preached from two to four times each day? Such a record is not often made. With the help of the' church the revival work is to continue bearing fruit There will be a social meeting after church Wednesday night. Don’t mlsa this meeting as it will help you get acquainted with those who came into the church during our meetings.
