1t is a we'll known fact that the people
Of South Dakota Of today are prosperous,
and the established figures show that for
several years they have created more
new wealth per capita each year than
have those of any other state in the un-
ion. A short time ago Il. n. Heming-
way, the state examiner, issued a state
ment Of the affairs of state and private
banks doing business in South Dakota,
showing that these banks carried deposits
to the amount of SIT ,393, G92.92. The
latest government report on the nation
al banks doing business in South Dako-
tn shows that this class of banks are
carrying deposits to the amount Of $11,-
$50, $50. The deposits OF all the banks
Of the state in both national and state
banks reach the sum of S29,220,543, or on
an estimated population Of about a half
million in the state practically $3.50 OF
bank deposits for every resident IN ..e
state. The indications are that the state
will keep up its reputation for produc-
ton Of wealth this year, and the bank
deposits will be increased accordingly.
Jerry Carleton, chief deputy in the
office of the United States marshal for
South Dakota, has been to
Rosebud agency by a telegram stating
that a murder had been committed on
the Rosebud reservation. 1t appears,
from the meager details which have been
received, that the person killed was a
white man, and that two other white
men are under arrest for the crime. The
names Of the victim and alleged muir
derers have not been ascertained. As
the murderer was committed on the
- 49, IT.sAol StafnC nnppf will
have jurisdiction, and 1t is understood
that an effort will be made to have the
case tried at the regular October term
Of United States court. In order, how
ever, to do this it will be necessary to
summon a grand jury, a petit jury only
having been drawn for the term.

The Midland Star says that a colony
Of Iowa people who have located neal
that place are making arrangements for
sinking Of an a~rtesian well yet this fall
for their colony. In that connection {.

Is in Pierre to look up the matter Of
sinking a well at Fort Pierre, says that
he has fifteen applications to look after
for well work in the section of country
L nOTlu anu NCct VI Az StsJs oh0 fNN
TO secure several contracts before he re-
turns to Redfeld. The success of the
well sunk at Lyman is drawing attention
to that class Of improvements west OF
the Missouri, and the next year will see
several flowing wells on the high prairie
Of that section, where in the past 1t has
been considered impossible to secure o
flow.
Gov. Herried has returned from st.
Louis, where he delivered an address on
South Dakotaday. and says that while
the South Dakota building is not so i'm
posing in appearance as the buildings OF
many other states, it attracts more atten-
ton thar many of the larger buildings on
account of it's interior corn decorations;
that the state is getting more for the
money expended than is any other state
represented, and that the people in
charge of the building could not be excel
led in the manner in which they care for
visitors, not only from South Dakota, but
any others as well who come to seek i'm
formation in regard to the state. Secre-
tary Farmer is reported to be the right
man in the right place, and he is ably
assisted in the work. 4
A little granddaughter Of John Meyers,
who lives about fifteen miles northwest
Of Pierre, attempted to play with q dog
which was gnawing at a bone a few
days ago, and was severely bitten by the
animal, which caught her by the head, al
most tearing one of her ears off, and 9TH
erwise i~njuring her. The child was
brought to Fort Pierre for medical at

place the torn ear in position. 1t is

further injury than a bad scar to mari
the place where she was bitten.
