The statistician of the Department
OF Agriculture has lately returned from
a trip to Europe undertaken for the
purpose of arranging with the Euro
pean governments for an Interchange
OF crop reports with the United States
The negotiations were successful, and
it is expected that the plan will be in
operation next autumn. The step is 9
very important one. Heretofore this
country has had to depend upon pri'
vate sources for information of foreign
crops, which was always incomplete
and sometimes inaccurate. The value
of such reports to the American farm
err is considerable. since the prices OF
American farm products are largely In
fiuenced by foreign crops.

BANKS snow GOOD TINES.

George A. Silsby, national BANK eN-
aminer for South Dakota, makes the
following statement concerning u
Dakota banks:
The record in banking for the past four
wears in South Dakota, tells something
of the marvellous prosperity hat has
come TO our people, and evidences ~
substantial basis on which our ulous-
trial enterprises are founded.
In October, 1897, it is presumed tnat
deposits in banks had again become
normal. after the depressing period
from 1898 to 1896, and a comparison
of DEPOSITS for the twenty-five nation
al banks doing business in this state
Oct. /, 1897. and again Oct. l., lsol'
makes a splendid showing, and no
doubt a similar report from the near
ly two hundred state, private ano new
national banks in the state. oui
show the same general increase.

Thus we see that the twenty-five ma
tional banks in the state, IN a brief pc
Rod Of four years have nearly doubled
| their deposits, making an Increase Oh
over 81 per cent.
4 little over a year ago the total de
post of all the banks in the state was
| about $1S,0 900. 900. Applying the same
| ratio of Increase TO all the banks, that
has obtained with the national banks.
/ and the deposit in the state would reach
the magnificent sum of $24 900, 900 al
this time, a record Of which we may
well be proud.
AS a wealth producing state, South
Dakota has headed the list for the last
several years, and the splendid IN
| crees Sc in savings indicates the thrifty
! condition OF oar people; and at no time
| lin its history have the general condi-
lions been so favorable as the present
With a thorough knowledge OF It's
| capabilities-gained sometimes by very
| severe experiences-the future of South
Dakota is well assured; and the rapid
influx of new settlers, most of whom
are forehanded and practical farmers
| gives assurance OF Increased produc-
tiveness and added wealth.

A political festival, which is becom-
ing more and more important. is the
opening Of the campaign, that is, the
first public meeting for the presenta-
ton of the issues to be decided. In
what city to fire the first gum is usu-
ally a question of interest; so is thar
OF the date when the shot may be most
effective. An early opening obviously
makes a long campaign. This year
in most OF the state political interest
is SO light that the campaigns will be

of the guard, snatching his carbine from its rest at the hub of wagon wheel, ran noiselessly after. Blake puffed meditatively minute, then be- gan:
 You know it was winter, and bitter cold. There had been bad blood be- tween the Ogalallas and the Chey ennes ever since they killed Crazy Horse when he tried to skip from the guard. The Cheyennes were camped in the valley three miles above the fort and the agent heard, somehow, that they had it in for him, and in- duced Crook to order two troops of cavalry to take station close to his thieving old shop, and the detail fell on Billy and me. We were madder than wet hens, for we had to tent out there in the snow and stand guard over swindler we'd rather see hanged any day. We knew he'd sold the hostiles ball cartridges by the wagon load the summer previous, and if they'd shot him as full. of holes as
 sieve it would only have served him right.
 "Of course we hadn't been there "A
 hours before old Two Moons, their chief, with a dozen feathered blather-
 sixties, came riding down to inquire
 what our coming meant. The Indian is never so sensitive to the presence
 of soldiers as when he's planning
 hell-raising. He couldn't speak Eng
 fish, and no white man can talk Cbey-
 enne without the sign language. So
 it was lucky he brought little Alou- ,ette along-his granddaughter. Her
 father was French Pete, the half
 breed scout Red Clouds people killed
 on the Rawhide three summers ago. Ray had ridden over to view old Spot ted Tail at Sheridan that morning, so was in command. We had our pa layer, and it was short, can tell you. Two Moons went off mad but digni- fled, and I thought I'd handled the thing in style until Billy got back long in the late afternoon Then I saw I hadn't, for he locked grave when I told him the chief rode away 70 men all told. :hey had TOO in the tepees, with dozen :n the guard house at the agency.
 Baker would have sold his soul to get rid of that dozen by the time we l got there, for Two Moons told him i he'd have 'em out. He was afraid to ] hold them, and he didn't. dare let lem go. i ".I'll send Bat in to Laramie with 1 dispatches the moment he gets in ! from Chadron,' said Ray. *They would follow and kill any soldier they saw
 going But it. was two days before
 Bat got back, and Two Moons struck
 before that-struck and got everlast- i fngly trounced, for we were warned
 in time.

Miss Mary Condit-Smith Engaged to

 New York, Jan 12.-Beautiful Mary Osbourne Condit-Smith, who passed through all the horrors of the siege of Pekin with credit to herself and her country, is-to be married to First Lieu tenant Richard $. Hooker of the ma- rine barracks in the navy bard on Feb ruary F in Washington. The an- nouncement, which was made yester- day in the capital by Mrs Condit- Smith, mother of the bride o-be, and admitted in frank sailor fashion by the lieutenant, will not be relished by cer- tain representative of the nations in Pekin. They never had a chance. however, for "that girl from America soon learned to say '.No,' with the emphasis of the Occident. Hooker didn't care rap about the titled and untitled suitors in the Orient. He knew Miss Mary, and she knew him. Their friendship dates from childhood.
 Three years ago Hooker went to the Klondike to try to- make his fortune. He was not especially successful, but before going away Miss Mary had said .Yes," and he had no reason, he thought, to complain about his luck. Besides. he was q prime faTorite with his mother, Mrs Bessie Hooker Stew art, and his grandparents, Senator Stewart and Mrs Stewart of Nevada. They are not penniless.
