Thomas Meredith, better known as
Uncle Tommy Meredith, now resident
and large tax payer in the vicinity OF
Lewis, formerly of the populist party OF
cass county. appeared before the board
of supervisors yesterday afternoon With
a petition. signed by himself, asking
that a certain road which runs between
parts of his farm be condemned and
closed. Having read his petition he got
the plat of the section and proceeded TO
explain TO the board how it was that the
road was no longer used and or no pen
eft to anyone. Having finished his ora

and looked expectantly at the board, as

A Prosperous Indication

General Silsby, national bank
examiner, who enjoys superior op-
portunities for ascertsiniag the
financial progress of the people of
South Dakota, declares the show
ing made in this direction is sur
prising even to the state. In an
interview ct Sioux Falls he said:
while two years ago tho total de-
posits Of the national banks Of the
state were q little over four mil
lions Of dollars, today they have
reached seven millions. Two
years ago the banks were short Of
cash and were scheming to get
hold Of more money in order to
accommodate their customers and
still remain secure. Today they
do not know what to do with their
cash. The national banks at Alb
erdsen are making commercial
loans freely at 6 per cent and are
glad to lot their surplus ont at
that rase OF interest. One small
national bank has recently r:ade a
loan at 8 per cent. The First
National of Yankton has not only
refused to longer pay interest, but
has refused to accept new ac-
counts, being unwilling to assume
the responsibility for money which
could not be loaned. Banks all
over the state are having hard
work to place their own money,
let alone that of depositors. All
this, while unsatisfactory TO the
bankers, speaks volumes for the
condition of the people Of the
state. Aberdeen News.

South Dakota walnuts.

Mr.. L. o. Aldrich brought in a
few days ago a small branch of a
black walnut tree with cluster of
nuts growing upon it. Mr.. AL
drich has a very fine grove of
these trees upon his farm in Ver-
non township. The trees were
planted from seed in 1881, and are
now fully ten inches in diameter
and twenty feet high. Tie wal
nut makes very handsome shade
tree, and when rightly started it
has been proved that the condi-
tions here are we'll adapted to its
successful growth. Milbank Ad-
vance.

SOLDIERS LETTER.
Capt. Harry A. Heseman Writes
His Parents.

SANFERNANDo, P. l., May l6.
My Dear Folks at Home:
One year ago today company K
LIST s. D. was mustered into the
service of the United States. We
were then very proud but We are
now prouder Of our company than
We were then.
I like this place very much and
l stand the climate very we'll in
deed. l would like to stay here
and start some business az there
are great openings for enterpris-
ing business men. A man can get
ell the way from $3.50 to $500 in
Mexican money, per month as
clerk in one Of these foreign stores
and with a comparatively small
capital he can start in some pay
ing business, but I think l would
rather 60 home and start there.
We are still doing provost duty
and I don't know when we will be
relieved.
May 2lst.
Another small mail arrived last
night.
We have been relieved from
duty as Provost Guards and are
doing outpost duty north of the
city.
The lst Nebraska regiment has
been removed from here and are
now doing duty in Manila. 1t is
rumored that we are liable to be
sent in too, and We all hope it is
so, for we are tired of this kind of
duty. It is about as much of
as to when We will go
home as it was before we left
Frisco, but We all hope that we
will be started soon.
The I'd Oregon Vols. have or
ders to embark on the transport
Hancock" which is in the harbor
getting ready for them. They
were the first to land on Philip
pine soil and are the first to leave.
I expect that they will start in
about week or ten days. We
will come away down in the list,
about the tenth I think.
We had about 300 men for duty
when we came into SanFernando
and have had a couple of weeks Of
what is called rest and now have
about $50 out of 900 men in the
regiment. Personally I have been
very fortunate for l have not
missed a fight or a march that the
company or regiment has taken
part in. Lieut.. Smith was sick in
the hospital during the Malolos
campaign but joined us at Malolos
Lieut.. Roskie was taken to the
hospital from Guiguinto the day
before the Malolos fight and has
been there ever since. s.,
The men of the company kept
up finely and I think that l had
the strongest company on the line
nearly all the time until we got to
SanFernando. Between the time
that we left the trenches and ar
rived in Calumpit l had eight men
wounded and one killed and took
forty-six men into Calumpit. That
was pretty good out Of q total of
sixty-two who left the trench with
me. Marching from Calumpit to
anFernando it was very hot and
many of the men were overcome
with heat and had to drop back so
I lost heavily in numbers during
that day but no more than the
other companies did.
The Insurgents have all moved
back away from our lines and
they are believed to be in Tarlec,
a town about half way from here
to Dagupon and 1 don't think
there will be any more advance
ing on this line until after the
rainy season is over.
MAY 26th.
We had another battle yestsr-
day morning. Dan Colleran was
