Alleged Interview In Davenport Pa

Alleged Interview In Davenport Pa
per Specifically Denied.
Much to the surprise of those who
have interested themselves in the for
tunes of John Henry Ryan, an eccen-
trio and wealthy resident of Sioux
Falls, and his wife, a former DaveH-
port Uowa) widow, she has returned
to Sioux Falls and taken up her resi-
dence with her husband. The couple
were married as the result OF news
paper advertisement, and the new
Mrs. Ryan departed for her former
Iowa home within few hours after
the marriage ceremony was per-
formed.
1t was said she took with her about
$500 which had been given her by her
husband to clear off the Indebtedness
from some OF her Iowa property. This
was about the holidays. A week or
ten days ago a Davenport newspaper
printed purported interview with
Mrs. Ryan in which she was quoted as
saying she never attended to return
to her Sioux Falls husband. Mrs.
Ryan denies ever having made such a
statement.

TO GET THE SCHOOL BONDS.
There Are 100000 Of School Bonds in
the State.

Land Commissioner Bach is making
special effort to secure school bonds
for the state school fund. Estimates
have been furnished him from the diff
ferent counties showing that there are
over 100000 of such securities out
standing in the state which bear an
average interest rate of 6 IA per cent,
and If 1t is funded into the state
school fund the rate can be reduced to
5 per cent, making large annual saw
ing on interest charges.
To get these securities would mean
the practical wiping out of the present
surplus in the permanent fund which
lies in the state treasury, and largely
increase the revenues OF the school
funds Of the state. .....
The commissioner Is in communica-
commissioners of the various counties
of the state, asking their cooperation
in the work of securing the refunding
of such school securities into the
state fund and will in his campaign
attempt to reach as many of the Off
GERS of the various school townships
and districts as possible. If he sue
ceeds in this effort it will mean that
when the school treasurers pay the
interest on their indebtedness it will
be at the office of the county treasurer
and there will be no expense of a
draft for forwarding. The county and
district officers over the state can do
great deal toward helping out the
state school fund and at the same
time bring revenues to their schools,
If they care to take small interest in
the matter.
The department has issued twenty
one more patents to final purchasers
of state lands, nine of which went to
Brookings county, four to Codington,
two each. to Minnehaha and Kings
bury, and one each to Grant, Turner,
Clark and Yankton.

up as during the last few weeks.
Every one is talking of the wonderful
case of G, w. Gray of Broadland, the
particulars of which are best told in
the following statement which Mr..

Il was dying. / had given up all
hope. | was PROSTATE and as helpless
as little babe. / had been ailing
with Kidney Trouble for many years
and 1t finally turned to Bright's Dis
ease. All medicine had failed and

Pills and this first box helped me out

God for the day when decided to use
Dodd's Kidney Pills.
Everybody expected that Mr.. Gray
would die and his remarkable recovery
is regarded as little short of a miracle
by all who know how very low he was.
Dodd's Kidney Pills are certainly a
wonderful remedy.

In the Senate.

Washington, Feb. 17.--There was no
debate on the statehood bill in the
senate yesterday. The Indian appro-
priation bill and the Philippine cur
rency bill both were passed. Mr.. Vest,
while the Indian bill was up, called at
tention to point of order which had
been taken against one of its provis-
ions on the ground that it was new
legislation. The senate, he said, had
passed the government bill as rider
to the army appropriation bill and yet
ruled other provisions out. All rules
he said were violated when a majority
was in favor of any measure.
In the House.
The house disposed of a number of
bills yesterday under suspension of
the rules, defeating two. The most i'm
portant measure passed was the SEN
ate bill to amend the railroad safety
appliance law. s

the house was devoted to debate upon
the Fowler currency bill. Mr.. Fowler,
the author of the measure, spoke for
over two hours. The other speakers
were Messrs. Thayer (Mass), Lover

The general conviction that the bill
has no chance to become law, end
the fact that there are divergent views
on both sides OF the house detracted
from the interest in the debate.
