After the Tommy Ayers Reform
Bureau asserted so s%toutly that no
bills had been lost or stolen, it is
very unkind for a late pop clerk of
the late pop Legislature to discover
that five important bills were actual
ly lost or stolen. The most import
ant of the five is the bill repeating
the pop law which repealed tie law
governing appeals to the supreme
court, and it now looks as though
the supreme court will not be troub-
led with any appeals for the next
two years. Well, this is what the

If any n thing tends to make
the average South Dakotan tired it
is the continual wall of certain news
papers Of our state about hard times,
adversely, etc. 1t is extremely diff
cult for people hereabouts to under
stand these complaints about an
overdue wave of prosperity, for if
there ever was a prosperous com
munity it is right here in Day
County. Talk about prosperity !!
We have it to burn !! Never has
business been better than at present.
Our streets Saturday were lined
with teams, every mercantile estab-
lishment thronged with customers,
elevators doing a good business for
this time of year, lumber going out
by the score of loads, the creamery
can in evidence everywhere. And
this goes on daily.
The situation in this city can be
briefly summed up,-not a house
vacant and an active demand for
more, not an idle man in town /; car
penters, painters, paper-haagers,
and masons with more work than
they can possibly attend to, hotels
crowded to their utmost capacity
nightly, new buildings going up and
improvements going on on every
hand, new places of business start
ing daily, not a store building in
the business section vacant, every-
body on the jump, even the printer
has a shook full of work, and not a
soul kicking but the sheriff who has
cut down his force and carries a long
face.
MOI is this prosperous condition
of affairs confined to the city, for
only when the surrounding country
is doing well can the city depending
on it prosper. Farmers are jubilant
over the outlook, grain fourishing,
new buildings going up everywhere,
live stock and produce in demand
at good prices. One farmer last
week drew $2,450 in cold cash for
live stock and has lots left yet /;
another cashed in $I,175 worth,
another $725, and so on,-yet we do
not even pretend to be in the cattle
belt.

the actual s..ate of affairs known to

it ? 1t is a myster, how those com

The friends of the free silver
champions ought to keep the news
papers away from them, says the
New York World. Hardly a day
passes without some news that is
sure to wound their feelings. Yes
terday it was an account of the awful
experiences the government and the
people of Peru are having with their
silver coinage.
That is the only coinage they have
down there, and PRACTICAL J the only
sort of money in the country. The
standard coin is a sol, which ought
to be worth about a dollar, but it
has been going down, down until
for several years it has been worth
less than half a dollar. And lately
it has got into the habit of falling
below even the market value Of the
silver it contains, because the mer-
chants and others of the creditor
class insist on charging a premium
for risk from fluctuations.
The government has stopped the
minis and has passed laws that
savagely interfere with personal
liberty. But all efforts to relieve
the "debtor class are in vain. The
tricky sol keeps right on robbing
the poor and all those who are in
debt, and aiding the "creditor class
to grow rich by exortion.
ali OF. this confusion and injustice
and suffering might have been
averted and would be stopped if
Peru would obey the fundamental
law of money,-that the stamp on a
coin must stand for an honest value,
and not for a theory or a threat or a
subsidy to silver mine owners.

Charge Against Alleged Deiaulting Treasure
Of lubec Me- Savings Bank.

A special dispatch to the Boston Sun
day Herald says: The books of the Luz
bee Savings Bank, which is in trouble
through the alleged defaulting treasurer
are in Augusta, In the possession of Bank
Examiner Undertake. They will be ex-
amined by experts, and report of the
condition they are in and the manner in
which they were kept will be made as
soon as possible.
There has been much discussion over
the question of how the bank examiners
failed to find that anything was wrong
with the Lubec Savings Bank. A promi-
nent tinancier explains it in this way: 1t
is claimed that the treasurer kept two
deposit ledgers. both of which were rather
crude; that the one which he exhibited
to the examiner contained a list of de-
posits the amount of which, with other
liabilities, balanced the apparent re-
sources of the bank. In November, 1896,
this book showed in the neighborhood of
$4,000 in deposits. but there was another
depositors ledger. which was not seen by
the examiner. and on this was a list OF
the depositors representing the 5000 and
enough more to bring the entire amount
of the deposits up to about $4,000. From
this it is inferred that there was a defal-
cation, as no return of 81 900 in deposits
was made to the bank examiner
1t it stated. also, that the cream of the
securities held by the bank were put up
as collateral by the, treasurer, so there is
nothing but odds and ends remaining,

SAILOR RUNS AMUck.
Crazy Man on Fishing Schooner at Boston
Cut Shipmates and Commits Suicide.

Boston. Nov. 21.-Manuel Genoario,
a sailor on the fishing schooner Two
Forty of Gloucester, lying at T wharf,
went crazy. during last night, and ran
amuck with sharp knife. attacking
his shipmates and badly wounding
them while they were lying in their
hunks. Genoario was afterwards found
dead upon the floor of the cabin. his
throat cut. The captain, Antonio Silva.
says Genoario was sleeping peacefully
in his own bunk when he turned in, at
10 o'clock last night.
Early this morning, Genoario got out
of his bunk with fish knife in his
hand and at once attacked four ship
mates who were in the other hunks.
Howard Sparks and Joseph Key were
first attacked in the most savage man
ner by the crazy man, Sparks being
slashed on the left shoulder and right
foot, and Key having his left arm near
ly severed from his body. Geno;iri)
then went into the cabin aft and at
tackled the other sleeping men but the
injuries inflicted were not so severe.
Joseph Hudson was wounded twice in
the right hand, and Frank Gill WAS
cut on the right side of his neck, his
breast, left foot and twice ON the left
hand. The cries of the wounded men
and the noise made by the crazy sailor
awakened Captain Silva, who rushed
on deck and cried for help. Genoario
had evidently tried to reach Captain
Silva for the formers body was found
in the captains cabin.
In response to Capt. Silva's call.
Special Officer Nicholas Murphy. who
guards the wharf, ran to the vessel and
going upon it looked into the cabin.
He saw Genoario's body and immed-
ately discharged his revolver in the air
four times for assistance. The excite
ment ard the spectacle in the cabin
were too muen for the officer. and he
collapsed with what afterwards proved
to be partial paralysis. Several Off
GERS who answered the call found they
had no work to do except to send for a
physician to attend the wourded men.

their wounds were attended to, ana.

but 1T is not possible yet to state the

GenCario had been acting rather

attention had been given to his condi-

man was aged % and lived in Glouces-
