officials nre wearing n more cheerful
appearance than they have done for
several days. They have devised a
a'an for Strengthening out the finances,
despite the great loss from Taylor's de-
ealcntion, and now will have clear
sailing. The revenue committee will
:odav report II bill empowering the
trcusurer to float funding warrants in
anticipation of the expected tax re-
surns, which amount to about S400, 900.
The state will realize from this enough
20 run the different departments until
Auguat, when the state equalization
board will be instructed TO levy n de-
9ciency tax ST. dicient to wipe tho
deficit.
Within the past two days more than
100000 have been received from the
counties in reply to tho emergency de-
nand made OF Wednesday by the state
auditor for all taxes now in the county
:reasurers' hanos and the amount will
probably double within the next week.
This will De enough to cover the state
expenses for IL month. or until the
treasurer floats the funding warrants.
The appropriate committee has APP
pointed n subcommittee to take action
n reference to the state educational
institutions. This committee will
.eport today and will advise that
the state university at Vermillion, tho
school of Mines ut Rnpid City and the
normal school ut Spearfish be closed.
The revenue committee will also intro
luce q bill levylng special axes on cer-
sain classes OF persona! property which
now escape, and will probably impose
certain licenses.
The state treasurer authorizes the
statement that all warrants will be
paid. that the report that the state
would default on any of it's obligations,
even for Il short time, is absurd, and
| TINT he has enough money in sight to
take care of all tho states needs. 1t is
certain, however, hat the %appropria-
tions will be greatly cut.
The state officials AFRO daily receiving
kilograms from various parts of the
country, describing suspects held us
probably being Taylor, the defaultipg
state treasurer. They have not, how
ever, found any of them who seem to
be the right man. The theory gen.
orally entertained is Thai he is con-
eealcd and awaiting the proper oppor-
tuuity to have his agent at Pierre make
the state compromise, granting I'M
munity. The officials have traced him
to very near his probable place CT hid
ing and they have satisfied themselves

The fight on prohibition will come to
a cad in the house tomorrow. Tho
bill for rcsubmission will be referred
to the committee today and will be re-
ported back and put on its passage
Thursday. 1t is expected hat it will
pass by n majority of about seven or
eight. Mrs. Cranmer, president of the
Womun's Christian Temperance union,
is managing the fight for the prohi-
bitionists and is prepared to muKc an
earnest fight. Gold of Grant is one of
her principal supporters. lie has
so far acted MS the leader of
the house and has been the chief adviser
Of Speaker Howard. His attitude on
this question has been n great surprise
and is likely to weaken him largely in
influence. Before the election he de-
elarSd himself n resubmissionist, and
has since his arrival ut Pierre agreed
TINT he will support the bill, but has
changed front suddenly. Still his
change will not carry any votes and
the ~resubmission leaders expect to pass
the measure without any serious
trouble.
c. L. Dcland, who went to Rcdfeld
representing the attorney general to
levy on property of Taylor, returned
Sunday and his report shows that
no found Tint on tho 31st of Deceln-
Der there had been filed in tho regis
tcr's Office of SPHINX county n mortgage

tate for SIT. 900, also n mortgage by w,
M. benedict, brothcrinlaw of Tnylor,
us assignee, on $4,000 worth of real
estate and assigned to c. S. Wells.
Deland also found a mortgage in Beadle
county for $4,000 on real estate as.
signed by benedict to Wells. The
state attached all this property, also
the bank stock of Taylor in tho First
National, i'll tho Northwestern Mort

tered real estate in Potter county and
other counties. Deland also attached
property of Mr.. McChesney, n bonds
man of Taylor, in Brown and other
counties and bank stock at Aberdeen
ind $50, 900 in notes held by the North
western Mortgage company. Io also
attached property of Morris & Labrie,
of tho bank of Dolnnd, who are also
bondsmen. The policy Of the attorney
general is to proceed us rapidly MS pos
siblc in attaching oil the property of
Taylor as principal and OF each of his
bonds,nen. He is hampercd for want
of funds to enable him to act, but as
soon as possible will loolk after the in.

BY delaying the issuing of vouchers
for the school fund npportionment to
the counties, Land Commissioner Ruth
was thc means of the loss of 500, 900 to
the state.
