Beemer State bank of Beemer has made
an open confession I'm writing over his own
signature that a deficiency I'm the cash
reserves of that bank was due to his de-
falcation Of the round sum of $500. Fur
thermore, in the same manner he con-
fessed that approximately $500 of this
money had passed into the hands of
stranger who represented himself to be
member Of the Chicago Board Of Trade
and that the money was taken in small
amounts, an even 500 some multiple
thereof, at time covering a period Of
several years. That by skillful manipu-
lation of the totals in the ledger account
of certificates of deposit he had sue
ceeded in hiding this defalcation from
time to time when the bank was under
going examination.
The active officers of the bank became
aware of a mysterious discrepancy i'm the
reserves of the bank early in January last
following the examination by State Exam

as to the actual fact about this sum
appearing to be short, trusting it would
prove nothing more serious than a clerical
error.

make sure of the facts but Mr.. Mead cut
matters short by making a clean breast
of the matter. The directors OF the bank

THOUSAND MILES OF NEW ROAD
south Dakota Expects to Make Record
in Railroad Construction.


PIERCE, Neb., March 24-(Special.)-
Up to the present time the different rail-
way extensions definitely announced for
South Dakota this year by the Milwau-
kee, the Northwestern, the Minneapolis &
St. Louis and the South Dakota Central
will give the state $50 miles of new road.
Besides these announced extensions, there
are pretty well settled rumOrs that the
Great Northern will add few more miles
to its Dakota lines before the close Of the
year, and other projects are expected to
bring the mileage for the year to fully 1,OOO
miles 1t is doubtful whether any other
state in the union ever secured that amount
OF new railroad mileage within one year,
and the new country to be developed by
these lines will give the state boom
which win have the solid foundation to
make 1t permanent and lasting.

St. Nicholas.

Santa Claus was born in batavia, in
Asia Minor. That was not his real
name. He was an abbot and named
St Nicholas. He afterward became
archbishop Of Myra. At the latter
place he died and was duly buried. In
May, 1887, his remains were carried
by some pious Italians to Bari, on the
Adriatic coast. They are now at rest
in a splendid church which bears his
name. The people around about make
pilgrimage to his shrine every year.
No one seeking food on that occasion
is refused it by the priests, while &C.
commodation is given to as many pill
grims as the editice will hold. On St.
Nicholas day, Dec. 6, great celebra-
ton takes place in his honor. Early in
the morning the populace take his i'm
age from the priests and carry It
through the town. At night the city
is grandly Illuminated.

HumIning Birds.

Scientifically humming birds are "tro-

although the birds are not identical
with the old Greek ''trochilus," or run
ner," bird, which. according to Herod-
otus, entered the jaws Of the sleep
ing crocodile and obliged its big friend
by picking leeches from his throat. The
Spanish name for the humming bird is
''tominejo," meaning a third Of dram
and referring Of course. to the birds
minuteness. But the prettiest names
are those, such as the French ''frou-
frou," which refer to the humming
noise sOmetimeo produced by the al
most incredibly rapid vibration of the
wings. "Purring with her wings is
