AN EMPTY TREASURY.
South Dakota Is Called Upon to
Face Tt.
Instead of S37O,0OO Which Should BE
There, the Treasury Has Funds
Amounting to S15, 900 Only
Sensational Disclosures.

PIERRE, S. D., Jan. 10 State Treasur-
er Taylor, who should have turned over
his cash to his successor Tuesday, failed
to appear and his bank, the Redfield
national bank, has closed its doors.
The last heard of Taylor he was in
New York. On Saturday he should have
had $3.50, 900, and should have paid $780,
600 Saturday to take up funding war
rants in New York. His bonds are
$S5O,OOO, but will stand sc per cent.
shrinkage.
1t has been known for some time that
Treasurer Taylor was hard pressed. He
was caught in the Chemical national
bank failure at Chicago for a large
amount, and he lost $40, 900 in the bank
at Milbank and $4,000 in that at
Geldisburg, which failed during the
panic. Altogether he lost 100000.
State Embarrassed.
If the defalcation is as large as the
bondsmen believe it will place the
state in very embarrassing position.
The limit of Indebtedness has been
passed largely. No warrants or bonds
can be sold and there is a considerable
deficiency in revenue. Without this
trouble it would have been a difficult
problem to make both ends meet, now
it is impossible.
Little Cash Us Left.
Later developments show that the
defalcation of Treasurer Taylor has
not been overestimated. There should
have been $3.50, 600 in the treasury. All
the funds in sight consist of about $15,-
600 in the PIERRE banks.
Helped His Friends.
Adyices from Aberdeen are to the
effect that Taylor took little money
with him but lost it all through his
friends whom he helped during the
financial panic. When he wanted the
money returned his friends were not
able to accommodate him. Among the
persons to whom he loaned money are
said to be several state officials
and if criminal prosecutions are
instituted there will be some sensa-
tional developments before the case is
ended. Some time ago Taylor went to
New York to raise funds for the pur
pose of closing up his account with the
state, but recent advices are to the eff
feet that he said he was unable to ne
gotiate loan, and he announced his
intention of never returning again to
Dakota. His friends he bitterly re
preached for not coming to his aid in
time of need.
Probably Gore Abroad.
His present whereabouts are I'M
known, but it is thought that he has
gone to foreign country. His bond
of $3.50, 900 is said to be good, but it will
not begin to cover the amount of the
shortage as it appears at present The
auditor has called upon the county
treasurers for any funds that may be
in their possession, and the attorney
general has commenced making prepa-
rations for realizing upon Taylor's
bond.
A Reward offered.
PIERRE, S. D., Jan. 1.-Two joint
resolutions passed both houses Thurs
day afternoon, one calling for an i'm
vestigation into the affairs of the treas
urers office and the other offering a
reward of $4,000 for the apprehension
of w. W. Taylor, late state treasurer.

FOR THE FLORAL DEPARTMENT.
The Plumbago.

The Plumbago is one of the best plants
one can get for outdoor planting in Florida,
embracing as they do such variety of
coors and so easily cared form fact, after
once planting they will succeed with no
care, but like all other plants will repay
with an abundance of flowers good treat
ment
They are almost constant boomers, and
as the flowers are borne on the new wood
only, a rapid growth should be maintained.
In planting set the plants rather deep, as
they will stand the drouth and cold better
although plants with the crown entirely ex
posed during 1.-The late unpleasantness"
we're killed to the ground, but are now
growing and blooming vigorously.
P. Capensis was introduced in 1913 from
the Cape of Good Hope. This variety pro-
duces an abundance of delicate steel-blue
flowers. The color is such delicate shade
as to be seldom seen, and one that we GER
tainly lack among our flowers
P. Capensis Alba is identical with Capen-
sis except in color; the flowers greatly re-
semble pure white Phlox and are borne
in large clusters.
P. Larpente is dwarf-growing variety,
seldom growing over foot in height and
is fine to use against background of taller
growing shrubs. The flowers, which are
very freely produced, are an exquisite
shade of violet. 1t is a free grower and
forms fine bushy plant 1t is also per-
fectly hardy at the North.
P. Sanguinea has larger foliage than
either of the preceding, and of a darker
green. The flowers are rosy scarlet, and
on the long terminal spikes are very slrik
ing.
The Plumbagos seem to give US just
such rare, delicate shades as we lack, and

first plant order included Tritoma (Grandi-
fora), flower that had attracted attention
in the small lawn of our home in the North.
The plant was set early in winter; has
grown luxuriantly, and bloomed repeatedly
in its three years standing. but not as per-
fectly as we have seen in the colder lati-
tude this may be dependent in part upon
age.
Apparently Tritoma is rare in this Sec
ton; the name has frequently been asked
and most inquirers evidently admire its
bright orange,red spikes. proud and full as
the brush of drum-major's cap. AS Red
hot Poker or Poker Plant, this may be
more familiar; Torch Lily. Torch Flower,
and Flame Flower are preferable and per-
haps more recent cognomens.
That it is hardy and clean-growing is the
Tritoma's first recommendation; its recur
ring and enduring bloom is its second-the
long racemes of forets, red when they first
the base of the racine upward as the
horets lengthen and expand to show the
pretty, black-tipped stamens in each dainty
tube.
1t is fond of reasonably good living, and
repays reasonable care. Its one objection
to this climate seems to be our protracted
rainy season, when, as the plant becomes
dense, excessive moisture with excessive
heat brings rot in the stool, and thinning
becomes wise or necessary 1t is shapely,
and deserves more use as brilliant figure
especially in grass grounds.

to be 'distinct and beautiful hybrids".

The Old Gardens of the South.

Gardens or flowers to please the eye, and
of vegetables for utility, have given evil
dence OF the taste and refinement of all
nations that have made for themselves a
history. Their styles have varied with
nations and climates. Every feature of the
age has improved, the botanists and gar
deners have not been left behind, and can
dor must admit that the new is better than
the old in gardens of flowers.
But the old gardens of the South! I feel
disposed to lay down my pen. 1t needs the
gift OF poetry to G i've an adequate descrip-
tion of their green. sunshiny, sweet perfec-
ton. No prose can do them justice. They
were not grand, but beautiful and ample,
full OF sunshine and shadow; permeated
by soft sweetness that was to the most
refined natures veritable benediction.
Had Byron stood with pen in hand, and
gazed upon those old gardens in the fair
land of the South, not one line would he
have changed of his description of the land
of the

Where the flowers ever bloom, the beams ever
shine,
Where the light wings OF Zephyr, oppressed
with perfume,
Wax faint DER the gardens of Gull in her
bloom
Where the Citron and Olive ore fairest in fruit,
And the voice of the nightingale never is mute;
Where the tints of the earth, and the hues of
the sky,
In color tho varied, in beauty may vie.''
Those whilom Southern gardens were
generally arranged in beds of various sizes,
bordered by low clipped winter-green
hedges and perpetual boomers. divided by
clean gravel walks. Groups of shrubbery
were near the house, as medium between
the open lawn and entrance of pillared
piazza or vestibule. The lawn, on planta-
tons, was generally sufficiently ample to
admit of sweeping carriage drives, describ-
ing circle Down the center of the lawn
ran a broad smooth walk, which, like the
circular drive, was bordered by fragrant
everereens, Roses, Lilies Tuberoses and
Tasmines Annunciation Lilies, Myrtles
and Tuberoses were grouped in hundreds
on the borders. And Cape Jasmines! In
their shining green leaves, bending under
load of large, pure white, heavily per
fumed flowers, where in such plentitude
shall we ever see them again?
An almost universal custom prevailed, of
having light, latticed arbors, or in local
phrase summer houses" covered, deeply
embowered with Towering vines, located
in some shady portion of the garden And
the Roses! The old Cloth of Gold lin

Tea Roses in variety, were the standards,
seen in every garden And though art may
improve upon nature till a Rose that fills a

size of a tea cup be accounted small yet the
old standards of beauty and sweetness will
appeal to the tastes, and things will revert
Running the scale of comparison backward
or forward, the Roses that bloomed, and
Strawberries that ripened in the old gar
dens of the South, reproduced in type, will
be accounted the most excellent of the
earth.

they filed into the yard. jolly and active,
we'll drilled to the use of the blade, they
generally kept time to some plantation
song, for the entertainment of the white
family:
Speed de pillow. and turn de furrow.''
and one that provokes smile even now:
Mistis had de mighty dollar
Look away Look away!
Mistis married a gay deceiver,
Look away Look away!"
Proud to do the work, their glittering
blades kept time to their songs, and with
dexterity and rapidity the blooming beds
and borders were weeded, grass was
chopped, walks scraped, shrubs pruned,
and vines trained till scarcely was there On
uneven blade of grass or fallen leaf to be
seen.
Indications of the weather governed all

with the returning sunshine just such a
scene of balmy air, brilliant forescence,
green LEAKAGE. and joyous concert of song
birds greeted the senses as if typifed only
by the "earth's first spring, when creation
was new.
These old gardens have shown them
selves truer than the hearts of men; for
men grow weary, seek change, wander far
in alien climes, forgetful of the old home,
or Indifferent to its charms. But when
chance or design guides the footsteps home
again, there will be found some hardy
flowers, in mute eloquence bespeaking de-
votion to the hallowed soil, despite years
of abandonment.
Perhaps the same sweet Honeysuckle
will be climbing over the old nursery win
dow, or royal Rose may show bloom.
Lilies that erst had crowned youthful
queen of May in some sweet springtime
long ago; or bright Pinks with spicy
breath may struggle through the grass to
recall the times they oft were culled. The
tangled bed of Violets, green beneath the
barred window, amid silence and neglect,
gently but powerfully recall the full sweet
days spent among the Towering charms of
the old garden.
The stir of life may be gone. The de-
serted mansion, silent under its guard of
over grown Ivy, Cedars and Magnolias,
may give no response from the closed
doors and barred windows; the grass-grown
walk, the unkept hedge, not like the tidy,
well-kept form of old, extend no invitation
to enter, yet the stray flowers that bloom,
bright and sweet, mark we'll that garden Of
delights whereunto the feet have strayed,
and an echo in the heart responds: This,
this is home!
A noted musician who now knows all of
the choir invisible, once said that his only
conception of spirit" was when he heard
Handel's choruses. So with one reared
among the old gardens of the South, the
nearest conception of "heaven" is as they
were, and may be again when there shall
be a new heaven and new earth They

Blown to Atoms Portions of Bodies
Found a Mile Away.
Pinole, Cal, May 21.-The nitro
glycerine house of the California
Powder works at Pinole blew up this
morning killing five white men and
wounding two others. Nine Cinnamon
were killed and three others injured.
Where the glycerine house stood Is now
heap of rubbish surrounding great
hole blown into the ground by the force
Of the explosion. All buildings sur
rounding the one where the explosion
occurred and distant from 1t from 100 to
200 yards are more or less demolished
Every person about the mill was thrown
down by the force of the explosion
enty-five Cinnamon and one hundred
white men were employed.
The loss is estimated at $250,O00. The
work of rebuilding will commence to-
morrow. 1t Is believed that China
man dropped a can of nitro glycerine
and that the concussion from this ex-
plosion caused the general blow-up.
The force of the explosion was tre-
mendous. Huge trees were thrown half
Il mile into the bay. Nitro glycerine
tanks weighing a ton apiece are 500
yards distant from the scene. Toes,
hands, and other parts Of bodies We're
picked up mile away.
The nitro glycerine house contained
5000 pounds of nitro glycerine and
1000 pounds of hercules powder.
