The State Treasurer Makes Way
With Large Sum Of Money.

PIERRE, S. D.. January State
Treasurer Taylor, who should have
,urped over bis cash to his successor
yesterday, failed to appear, and MS
bank. the Red6eld National Bank. has
closed its doors The. last heard OF
Taylor be was 10 New York. On
Saturday he should have had $3.50, 600
aud should have paid $4,000 to take
up funding warrants in New York.
His bonds are S35o,o00, but will stand
50 per cent shripkage.
II has been known fer some time that
Treasurer Taylor was hard pressed.
He was caught in the Chemical
National Bank failure at Chicago for a
large amount, aud be lost $50, 900 in
the baok at Milbauk, and $4,000 in
that at Geldisburg, which failed during
the panic. Altogether he lost $780,
600. The First National Bank at Red
field, Taylor's bank. closed its doors
yesterday. The bank is in good condi-
ton. and it is thought will pay all its
debts. The bauks at Pierre will not
lose anything. If the defalcatioD is as
large as the bondsmen believe, it will
place the State in very embarrassing e
position. The limit Of Indebtedness
has been passed largely. No warrants
or bonds can be sold. aud there is a
considerable deficiency in the revenue.
Without this it would have been diff
cult problem to make boths ends meet,
now 1t is impossible. Taylor has
always had high reputation as fnan-
cier and a man of integrity. The
school fund may lose $4,000.

Dispensary Profits.
Plenty of Money to Pay All Bills
---Uniforming The Constables.

COLUMBIA, January 9.-Tbis morn
ing Governor Evans bad a host Of
visitors from all parts Of the State.
When be got to talking about the dis
pensary he remarked, for "the benefit
Of The Ne1s and Courier" that there
was plenty of money to the credit of
she dispeusary with which to pay back
20 the State the original loan Of $780,
600, as we'll as to pay cash for the
$4,000 worth of liquor which has
jus. been purchased. Going on a
little further he vas asked if this meant
that all Of the stock on hand had beer
paid for, and he replied that the stock
would be paid for as soon as the
vouchers could be drawn; in other
words there was plenty Of money on
hand with which to pay for all liquor
on hand, return the $4,000 to the
State and pay for the goods as they
we're purchased. The dispepsary has
recently paid into the State Treasury
to its account little over $92, 900 in
cash.
Governor Evans evidently does not
intend to devote as much of his time
to the minute enforcement Of the Law
as has previously beer done. He is Of
the opinion that he can organize the
force so thoroughly that just as effect
i've work can be done, and while be
will have control Of the entire force
and see that everything goes on as he
wants it, the carrying out Of the minor
details will be left to the chiefs or their
lieutenants, just as it is With military
