SIOUX FALLS, S. D.. Nov. 2i.-(Special)
The failure OF the Dakota National bank
here was not a bad one and the bank will
reopen in two or three weeks, after having
paid OFF every dollar OF its deposits. C. A.
Greedy one of the directors and wealthy
stockholders of the bank, arrived today and
the directors at once began the work of re-
organization. The failure caused a decided
furry, but the prompt and harmonious action
Of the business men prevented any further
trouble meeting was called and was at
tended by sixty of the leading business men,
who signed an agreement to make no with
drawalS except in the ordinary course of
business The signers represented about
rs per cent of the total denCsitS and their
action, which was taken after the banks had
made a statement OF their condition and
after citizens committee had verified the
figures and statements at once restored con-
fidence along the street. The banks all
closed last evening with more money on
hand than they had when they opened At
o'clock when the banks opened crowd of
men was in front of each bank. and where
there was one to withdraw there were three
to deposit. Three of the leading banks here
have in caCh enough money TO pay every de-
pogitor. G. L. Mckinney. president of the
Bankera' association, says that tho banks of
Sioux Falls have not beea In so good shape
in five years aS they are today. He says the
banks have been accumuating money in
case of trouble following the election and
they have not since had an opportunity to
put 1t out. There have been and will be no
failures along the street b. II. Lien, di-
rector Of the Dokata National, says that
every depositor will be paid in fun In leas
than three weeks. John Mundt county treas
urer had small deposit with tho bank. but
his deposit has security In addition to the
Nolvency of the bank
Much indignation i- expressed hero at the
action OF two or three free silver ATTORNEYS
who before the bank closed wired TO claim
ants In Chicago aud elsewhere stating that
there was to be general wreck In Sioux
Falls and urging the claimants to send on
their claims 80 that the attorneys could make
attachments. II IS probable that some of
the attorneys who sent those false dispatches
may yet be called on to account for their
messages, Taere have been no business fail
ures and there will not be, The bank will
not be compelled and will not enforce collec-
tions on customers who are good. but wso
would be embarrassed by H. The feeling

MITCHELL, S. D., Nov 24-(Special Te!e-
gram Tho Non-partisan Prohibition union,
which han been in session here for two days,
adjourned this afternoon. The former or
ganization was disbanded and new associa-
tion formed called the Anti-Saloon league,
with the following officers In charge: Pres
ident Rev A. h. Cnrhart of Elkpoint; vice
president S. 4. Ramsey OF Woonsocket; sec
rotary, S. r. Huntley of Washington Springs;
treasurer w. II. Robertson. The league will
keep up the fight begun by the former organ
i0stion and 1t Is evident that the league does
not intend to submit to the result of the
election. even though the amendment was
badly defeated In conversation with several
members of the newly formed league, your
correspondent was given to understand that
the legality OF the election on the constitu-
tional amendment will be tested before the
supreme court.
The league claims that the amendment
was submitted in such n manner that the
people could not vote inteigenty on the
proposition and that the whole matter was
blinded In this way. They seem TO hold the
opinion that they can present their case to
the supreme court with such formidable tes-
tmony that tho election in reference to the
amendment will be declared of Failing in
this they hope to have enough influence in
the coming Legislature to throw strong safe
guards around the saloons in South Dakota.
