BOGUS SCHOOL BONDS.
Possibility that They Were Issued by
Defaulting Treasurer Taylor.

REDFIELD, S. D., March 26.-The regis
trar of deeds here has received a letter
from attorney Rufus T. Peck, of Court
land N. Y, asking if school bonds of any
individual school district are required to
be registered, and if SO, were $1,000
worth of bonds of the Capitola school town
ship of Sphinx county registered in 1894 or
1895. The bonds are dated Jan. 5, 1895, and
are for $500 each, and nine in number. The
attorney asks whether there is a Capitoia
school township in this county. The in
uury is made here after hearing from
parties at DoIand, this county, that no
such school township exists. The attorney
claims that the bonds were issued to re-
fund one-half of the original $1,000 bonds
ship.
There is no record of any bonds having
been issued by Capitola township. Fictitious
names are signed for both the clerk and
chairman of the school board, and the
bonds are certified to by an unknown per-
son under the name of Inman. The cffi-
cials here know nothing of these alleged
Much speculation is indulged in as to the
extent of the fraud and who are the eul-
pritS mixed up in their manufacture and
sale. Speculation naturally points to the
defaulting State Treasurer Taylor, who dis
posed of much paper down East and mort
cages and bonds in and arotsfd Gottr fiand
Il " 1t is expected here that more
spurious bonds will come to the surface
upon examination, and the names or former
citizens acting coadjutors with the gull
ty one are handled freely. Further develop
mentS are anxiouSly awaited.

partment Officers.

THE address Of Mrs. Nettie Eansford,
president OF the Department of Indiana.
Womans Relief Corps, is devoted to the
salient points of the years work. In re-
gard to the growth of the order, she re-
ports a slow but healthy increase, and
remarks that it is not the number of corps
on the roster which tell of the strength
of the order, but the expenditure for relief,
the general harmony of its members. She
notes a more general and thoughtful OBJ
servance of Memorial day.
In regard to finances, the president re-
ports them in healthy condition, but OBJ
serves that it is unwise to deplete the
treasury to an extent that current obliga-
tions cannot be met. ut costs little effort
and sometimes less thought she says, ito
vote money out of the treasury, but re-
plenishing is much slower process. She
commends the efficiency of the Soldiers
Orphans Home committee, and reports
that s25620 was collected from the various
corps and $50 from the Grand Army for
Christmas presents. of which $3SS.62 was
expended Mrs. Ransford expresses satis-
faction because the State Soldiers Home
is now certainty and calls upon the corps
to assist the work. The district. conyen-
tions of corps show an increasing inter-
est. The work of Mrs Eliza j. Crisier IN
patriotic teaching is warmly commented.
The retiring president, among other things.
recommends that the inspections be made
i'm March, April and May, and that the
committee on patriotic teaching be con-
tnued
