President Debs said that he felt more
confidence in the ultimate success of his
cause than at any time since the fight be

Company it was resolved to favor the
formation of syndicate to undertake

courts ever since the prohibitory law
was passed. The opinion is by Judge
Fuller. II the lower court had been
sustained, the property OF the brewery
company, worth thousands Of dollars,
would have been confiscated and de-
stroyed. The Sioux Falls brewery has
been running ever since the law went
into effect, and will row probably con-
tinue to run.
Following is the syllabus In the case:
''Under statute that does not specifi-
cally name the liquor the sale of which
as q beverage 1t prohibits, but consid.
ers and holds all liquors intoxicating
which are spirituous, malt, vinous, or
fermented, as we'll as all mixtures

jury to determine, as the case may be,
1t being = matter of general knowledge
that there are varieties of beverages
denominated beer and used in this
state that contain no malt and are not
Intoxicating. We hold that the term
beer in the absence of evidence rs to
its quality or effect. does not mean an
Intoxicating liquor in the absence Of q
statute declaring that beer shall be
deemed an Intoxicating liquor. The
mere statement of the witnesses that
they bought beer, without any evil
dence of the purpose for which it was
bought, or that 1t contained malt, or
OF It's effect upon persons using it, or
OF the manner in which it was made,
Is not sufficient to show that it was in
toxicating, and court will not take
judicial notice that beer so sold was q
malt or intoxicating liquor"

THE Government Indian School near
Pierre is making arrangements to
utilize the water from the artesiAn
well this year for experimental work
in irrigation. Besides putting IN
various kinds Of grain they will have
an extensive garden. The we'll was
sunk SO late In the season last year
that it was impossible to experiment
with irrigation and the water was
only used for bathing purposes and for
stock. The natural gas which flows
from this we'll Is fully % strong As
when the we'll was first completed. It
has never been utilized, as there was
no appropriation made for that pur-
pose. The superintendent this year
has recommended that an appropria-
tion be made for that purpose.

THE MISSING MONEY FOUND
Watertown Land Once Funds Discovered

watertown Land ONCE Funds Discovered
In = Closet.
A DISPATCH from WatertOwn gives
the following remarkable story: ''On
Wednesday, Feb. I, John Gustofsen,
laborer. was engaged in cleaning the
rooms in the Meliette Block, formerly
Office and adjacent hallway. While
at work he found in a closet under the
stairs leading to the Masonic Hall, in
two other packages and total OF 81,
B74.55, From the wrappings and other
identifying words there could he no
doubt that it was the money recently
stolen from the land Office. Land Ohi-
GERS Sheaf and Hauten and two or
three other friends were taken into
confidence. and a watch was set over
the closet from this hour, and has been
continued constantly since, but with
out developments. Not = soul has
since approached the place. The lind
ing of the money explodes the much
exploited theory that it was taken by
an expert foreign safe Taper and taken
from the city. When ex-Receiver
Carpenter turned over the Office to his
successor. his books showed the funds
$l.67245 short. The money found is
S2. 10 i'm excess of that amount. Sew
eral parties locally are suspected, but
it is quite evident that but one is inn
plicated and at this time there 10 no
convicting evidence. Ex-Receiyer Car
penter has not yet learned that the
money has been found. There is q
theory that the thief, whoever he may
be, has lost his nerve and that he
placed tn. money in this closet for the
purpose Of having it found, and this
idea is strengthened by the fact that
the find is so nearly the amount due
the Government, while the sum
claimed to have been taken from the
safe was about &lO0 in excess OF tha'

Of premiums received this part year by
all companies was e442, ,O23; losses in.

in 1892 the total amount of premiums

and In 1890, with q ratio Of 47.9 per

The records OF the Auditors Office
show that fifteen companies have with
drawn from the state during the past
year this includes life insurance
companies. The principal cause given
for withdrawing Is owing to the ex.

is from 800 to $l25 year. OF the life
insurance companies doing business In
the state the past year eleven wrote

five risks, and two less than ten.
The record of business done by the

during the past year, as their net
profits were more than so per cent OF
all the premiums they received.
