:tate Auditors Report.

State Auditor J. E. Nipple will
have his annual report ready for
distribution in two weeks. He says:
THE report will show that the
deficit for the year in the states
business will reach $4,000. The
total warrants paid out up to the
end Of the fiscal year, July l., amount
to $443, 900. The total revenue
received by the general fund OF the
state from all sources amount to
$4,000. A year ago in my report
/ predicted a deficit of 500, 900 but
the Taylor investigations and other
work growing out of that have raised
the sum to that stated. To meet
this the legislature levied a deficiency
tax Of two miles, and tina: will be
collected the coming spring. The
deficiency tax will amount to $242,-
900, and, with the regular state tax
of 2 miles, will raise for the state
S484,oOO. OF this $4,000 must be
applied to take up the net deficit
from the Taylor default, which will
leave $31S,O0O for the state. More
money is imperatively needed unless
some of the state institutions are
closed.

South Dakota Dairy Interests.

w. f. II. Bushnell, of Aberdeen,
secretary Of the South Dakota Dairy
mans association, says the program
is nearly completed for the annual
meeting, which will be held at Huron
on Jan. 81, % and %.
An attempt will be made to organ
ize the creameries OF the state for the
purpose OF securing the co operative
marketing Of dairy and creamery
products. A satisfactory system OF
grading and a reliable demand for
goods will be sought out and deter
mined, If a possible thing. it is
believed this will be the best attended
meeting OF the association ever held.
There are about 1875 c,eameries in
the state, and an especial effort will
be made to get the managers together
for the exchange OF ideas and tho
discussion OF methods to extend and
improve the business. The future OF
the industry seems particularly
bright, md the convention will, no
doubt, reflect this to q large extent.

Weather Predictions on Letters

S. w. Glenn, OF the United States
weather bureau at Huron has pro.
v'ded Postmaster Cogan with a
stamping outfit and now letter mail
distributed from that Office bears q
forecast of the weather for the COM
ing twenty four hours. The arrange
ment is in compliance with the action
OF the late weather service conven-
ton, held in Indianapolis last Octo-
Der, when the scheme was discussed
and Mr.. Glenn appointed by the chief
OF the service as one of a committee
to investigate the feasibility OF the
plan. This test is now going on, and
soon all the large cities in the state
viii be asked to cooperate in it. Mr..
Glenn says the test will no doubt
be all that is hoped for.

Double Tragedy I'm Iowa.

Ottumwa, Dee. 81. = This morning
John Winnegar. a laborer who resided
with his family on Walnut venue in
the east part Of the city, shot his wife
and wounded her to such an extent
that the doctors think recovery is next
TO impossible, and then deliberately
blew out his W brains with n 49,
caliber revolver. Two of the bullets
entered Mrs. Winnegar's body. one
on the left side "a the shoulder
blade and passing down into the
lungs. the other entering the right
arm between the wrist and elbow.
The cause Of the terrible deed can be
attributed TO nothing else than insane
jealousy. The murderer was sent to
the state insane asylum two years ago
and escaped this spring. returning to
this city. where. for some unknown
he was permitted TO remain.
