REDFIELD, S. D., Jan. 2S.-The de-
posltOrS' committee here have secured
the cooperation of Congressman Pick
ler to assist their case with the con-
troller of the currency at Washington.
In response to kilograms, Mr.. Pickler
wires that he has interviewed Controller
Eckels and secured from him the prCln-
lSe to withhold the appointment of
receiver for the bank until the stock
holders and depOSitorS. have had ample
opportunity to reorganlZe. Bank EX-
aminer Zimmerman'S report was sent
to Washington on Saturday last. While
he is prevented from fOrestalllng his
report, he assured your correspondent
that the banks affairs were in good
condition, and that, but for State
Treasurer Taylor's connection with it,
would never have been compelled to
close its doors. DepositOrs without an
exception are willing to accept time
certificates and contribute business to
put the bank into operation again.
TelegramS were sent the Taylors i'll
Lafayette today insisting upon their
immediate representation here, as the
largest stockholders, for the reorganiza-
tion of the bank. They hold majority
of the stock. and resumption is largely
contingent upon their Immediate ac-
ton.
The county board in session today aca
cepted the additional bond Of Comfy
Treasurer Myer for $4,000. Repre-
sentative men on the east side of the
county qualified in $1,000 each. The
treasurer's full bond amounts to $105,-

A Canary Kills q Rat.

Joseph Thompson, a deputy clerk
of the Criminal, Court, and at one
time a prominent candidate for the
Mayoralty Of Baltimore, has canary
of which he has always been very
proud. He is prouder of the little
bird than ever now, on account of
the fact that last Thursday night,
after a desperate fight with rat, the
little yellow fellow came off victor.
Just before the family retired to rest
at their residence, Mrs. Thompson
placed the bird cage on the sideboard
in the dining room. During the night
a half-grown rat forced himself into
the cage and proceeded to devour the
birds food. This was the beginning
of the trouble. The canary few from
it's perch and the battle began. When
Mrs. Thompson came into the dining
room the next morning she found
a dead rodent lying on it's back on
the floor of the bird cage, while the
canary was singing merrily from it's
perch above. The beak of the bird
had penetrated the eye of the rat,
entering the brain and causing in.
slant death.

Kickapoo Indians are very fond OF
dogs both alive and fricaseed !.
Around their tepees or wickiups or
Queen Anne's, or whatever they call
their abodes, there are always half
dozen wolfish dogs. An Indian
dog hates q white man as far as he
can smell him, and that is saying a
good deal.
When white man driving through
the Kickapoo country sees dog by
the roadside his natural impulse is
to whistle in friendly way, TO
somehow in wilderness OF prairie or
forest a dog is comfortable sigh t..
But the instant you whistle to an
Indian dog he turns his tail and is
out of sight quicker than if he had
been kicked. An Indian never
whistles at his dog when he wants
his beast to come to him; he places
his tongue against his teeth and
Kisses.
The colored population of Okla
homa have almost as many dogs as
the Indians. Those who live in the
blackjack sand hills are dog rich.
These dogs have deep rooted aver
sion for the white man also. When
an old colored cotton planter comes
to town some Of the dogs are sure to
follow, and when the old man walks
uptown the dog stays right between
his feet like country dog under a
farm wagon. And whenever white
man comes within swapping distance
the dog gets busy.

Cork and Its Uses.

A large quantity of cork is exported
annually from the district of Spain
to the United States, the lesser pur-
chasers being England, Italy. France
and the Spanish colonies. The cork
forests are situated in Corona, one
Of the four provinces comprising the
principality of Catalonia. The trees
grow for from 800 to 400 years, and
become productive at an age of about
twenty-five years. The bark is then
removed, and thereafter the opera
ton is repeated every twelve or four
teen years.
The greater part OF the bark is
made into cork for bottles, the
rougher part being reserved for rus
tic decoration. The fishermen also
employ the coarser pieces as floats
for their nets. The articles manu-
featured from cork comprise handles
for bicycles, cigarette mouthpieces
shoe soles and visiting cards. A
very warm and lasting flooring is al
so made from layers Of cork. The
cuttings and residue generally are
ground to powder and used for pack
ing fruit, and IL it is not good enough
for this purpose, enters into brick
making for building purposes.

Danger in the Use Of Slang.

A new illustration of the danger
Gus confusion that often is created
by the prevalence of slang is fur
nished. says the Brooklyn Times, by
an incident reported in this morn
ing's news. A professional rat catch
or went to q fashionable club on
Tuesday evening, and at midnight he
had bagged fifty rats. With the
fifty living rats in q baylor this
professional scorns to kill any rats on
the premises-he left the fashionable
club and started home. Then ap-
peared an unknown policeman. who
said: Where are you gojng?"
None OF yur business" answered
the rat catcher. $50 that's your
swag," said the policeman, sarcastic
cally tapping the bag with his club.
Mary swag," said the rat catcher.
What have you in the bag, Them"
Here we come to the first crisis of
the story, for the reply was rats"
The policeman then punched the
professional for what he. perhaps
reasonably, regarded as his imperti-
hence. Moreover, he grabbed the
bag and thrust in his inquiring, off,
cial hand. Here comes the second
crisis of the story, for ut least seven
rats grabbed that hand. The police
man yelled, and shook off the rats,
and the other forty-three leaping
from the bag the street was soon full
OF rats. The poor policeman, with
rats to the right of him and rats to
the left of him, and rats In an indefi-
mite vista before and behind him,
fed into the night.
This is not the first time that
slang has indirectly created confus-
ion in the world. The rat catcher
had no suspicion that the policeman
would take his explanation amiss.
This is the trouble. The slang that
creates disaster is generally used
unwittingly. May the present pic
turesque warning be needed.

A Bad Weed.

Spring nightshade, or buffalo bur,
is becoming quite numerous in many
parts of Iowa. Illinois, Missouri and
Kansas. 1t is regarded as one Of
the worst weeds in Texas. 1t is be-
coming surprisingly abundant in
eastern Nebraska. During the past
year it has frequently been mistaken
for Russian thistle, but it does not
resemble the Russian thistle in any
respect except that it is mass Of
thorns when the leaves drop off. 1t
grows bushy and compact. having
every spring leaves, stems and fruit.
The fruit is berry like that Of the

The most remarkable piece OF PAN
oramio painting ever attempted was
q two thousand mile view OF scenery
along the Mississippi River, which
was executed by John Barnard, the
artist, who died in Watertown, S. d.,
in the summer of 1891.
This wonderful panorama, which
gave faithful and clear cut pictures
Of bluffs, river mouths, farms, prairie
dells and wood promontories along
the Father OF Waters for distance
almost as great as that which separ-
ates st. Louis and New York, was
painted on q strip of canvas twenty
two feet wide and nearly three miles
long.

Marching Made Easy.

A French general has inaugurated
a plan which finds much favor in the
German army, namely, that Of per-
hitting and even encouraging the
soldiers to sing when on the march,
a privilege which has been strictly
denied until recently. 1t has also
been arranged that any soldier who
can play on any Of the smaller musi-
cal instruments shall be provided
with such instrument at the expense
of the state. 1t is claimed that the
introduction of a musical feature in
to the army will serve TO revive the
spirits of the men, and will mater
tally aid in alleviating the hardships
of military service. 1t is expected
that a man who has an ear for music
will carry his comrades gun on the
march while that soldier plays on the
mouth harmonica.

Denver. June 19.-Thomas D. Kelly, Of
Galena, ILL.,, in the United States circuit
court today petitioned for a receiver for
the Little Johnny Mining company, ask
ing for the removal of the present offic-
ers, and an accounting of the company s
affairs. He also asks possession of one
sixth interest in the Leadville Bonanza
mine, which is alleged to be worth from
S50,OGO,O00 TO S100,000,000. The plaintiff rep
resents himself. Margaret .. Kelley
Michael T. Kelley and Annie 3. Kelley,
all of Galena.
The basis of the KelIey's sensational
and enormous claim is rightful owner
ship of one-SjXth interest in the Little
Johnny mine. which was wrested from
them by connivance, conspiracy and
fraud on the part of the defendant per
sons and company. 1t is charged that for
ulently deprived of property which at the
time of the transaction was worth many
millions of dollars, and which has since
steadily increased in value.
The complaint alleges that Thomas j.
Kelley, a son of Thomas d. Kelley, was
one of the original locatorS and patenteeS
6, 1856, and by Colorado law the plaintiffs
are his heirs. In 1898 they conveyed their
interest in the mine to the defendants, be-
ing, it is alleged, by fraud and collision,
kept in ignorance of the value of the
mine.
1t is further set forth that before, or
SoCn after the death of Thomas j. Kelley,
in 1885, the Little Johnny mine had be-
come worth from s5,OOO,O00 to S10,00O,000,
and had become one of the most wonder
full bonanzas in Colorado and was produc-
ing many millions of dollars worth of
gold and silver at the time the said
fraudulent deed was secured; that it has
become richer and richer since that time,
and is now worth from $4,000, 900 to $780,
100000; that the Little Johnny mine is
now yielding from 100000 to S3OO,00O in
cash per month, all of which is being
fraudulently appropriated.
