$500 Which Has Been
Recovered.

Men Dressed as Hohoes Were Seen tos

Aberdeen, S. D., Aug. 2S.-RewardNt
amounting to $1,259 have been offered
for the capture Of the robbers of the
First National bank of Aberdeen, $1,000.
having been offered by the. bank and.
$3.50 by the county of Brown.
A box containing $400 of the silver
nickels and dimes stolen, has been.
found under a platform about a block
from the scene of the robbery.
This discovery confirms the suspicion
thai the entire swag is planted some
where in town. The actual loss is only
a little over $1,000, not as heavy as at
first supposed.
It is believed that the robbery was the:
work of what w. A. Pinkerton calls

turns them over to the real operators,
who enter town after dark and leave
before daylight, without ever having
been seen in the town. The sWag is
planted and the robbers return to their

'citement dies down and then dig up
their booty and, if it amounts to-
enough, return to their city haunts in

The only clue to the robbers SO far
discovered is the possible clue from.

NAL report to the governor, State Sec
cetary Berg inaugurates a movement

for the state. He says in regard to
this matter:
THE uniform charter fee Of $40 as

unjust. Corporations organized with

state for operating and conducting a
legitimate business within the borders
of our state, thereby developing Its re-
sources and adding property to the
assessment rolls of the localities where
their business is carried on, are re-
uuired to pay the same charter fee as
the concerns of large capitalization
(often capitalized at a billion dollars),
which concerns. with a few If any ex-
ceptions, never transact a. dollars
worth Of business within this state nor
bring any property into the state that
can be assessed for taxes. .a : ,
Our laws should be so amended as
TO establish a graduated charter fee
to be graded upon the authorized cap
altal stock provided for in the articles
of incorporation.
Amendments to the present laws are
also recommended to require that
books of the companies should be kc,p,t
at the main Office, within ttais state;
and further, provisions allowing cor
porations to renew their charters at
the expiration of their life under the
law. &
He also recommends that fccaign
corporations doing business in the state
should be required to file copies of
their articles with the register of deeds
in every countyNin which they trans
act business, as well as with the sec
rotary of state, as is now required.
Attention is also called to the con-
iition which exists, which prevents the
use Of money received from insurance
on a state building which has been
damaged or destroyed by fire, for the
purpose of replacing the injured struc-
ture, and asks for legislation to cover
this defect. FS5S
Appropriations are also asked for to
