put up an advertising card in one of its
stations without getting his permission.
Recently he heard that the company's

mirror, from which the agent was get

The agent had nothing more to say.
He did not even offer Il protest when

The depositors' committee at Redfield

wires that he has interviewed Comptroller
Eckels and secured from him the promise
to withhold the appointment of a receiver
for the bank until the stockholders and de-
positors have had ample opportunity to re-
organize the institution. Examiner Zim-

While he is prevented from forestalling
his report he has given assurance that the
banks affairs were in good condition and.
that but for State Treasurer Taylor's con-
nections with it it would never have been
compelled to close its doors. Depositorsl
without exception are willing to accept
time certificates and contribute business to
put the bank into operation again. Tele-

representation as the largest stockholders

SPECIAL TAX in SOUTH DAKOTA.
Plan to Mako Up for Treasurer Taylor's
DcfalcatiOn,

Two weeks ago, when the case of Tay-
lor's defalcation was fresh, almost every
body about the state capital was despon
dent. With the loss of $35O,OO0 at a time,
andthe treasury almost empty, most people
INDUCED in the widest fears. The reac-
ton has come now and it is evident that
the state has hardly felt a shock. Three
hundred and fifty thousand dollars means
only about a dollar a head for the popula-
ton. AS a matter of fact the state tax cuts
practically no figure with the people, and
the loss of n years tax will not affect
them. The constitutional provisions linn
::iting debt and taxation are SO rigid that
there was a. question for a short time
whether the state could at once meet its
obligations. The constitution limits the
debt of the state to its present amount,
100000, and the state tax to 2 mills.
In view of these constitutional restric-
lions and the loss due to Taylor's flight.
there was a great deal of talk a week ago
about closing some of the educational in
!!stitutions and otherwise adopting a rigid
economy. The Appropriations Commit
tee and many Of the legislators talked seri-
ously Of shutting w the vermillion Uni

Woman has seized upon the wheel wit

AS for bloomers--the subject is not
moral one (nor immoral. if you plese,)
but simply a pit of sacrifice on the part
of few and gracious chance for display
on the part Of the other few. 1t is now a
