Run on q Bank.

Chicago, Aug, u. Failure Of the cash
Ter of the Milwaukee Avenue state bank
to appear this morning caused run on
that establishment and scenes which re-
quired the presence or twenty police
men 10 prevent attempts to mob the
offices. Deposits are said TO aggreg-
ate 81, 000, 900. 1t wss reported to the
police that the cashier had absconded
with large of the banks iunds. How
much is miss ng, the officials of the bank
we're unable to state. It's affairs are
in the hands of Theodore Stenslsnd son
of the president who closed its DOORS
before the crowd became unmaDageable,
and informed depost0rs that the bank
would not be reOpoued until an exami-
nation could be completed to ascertain
the exact amount of the shortage. The
bank is capitalized at $3.50, 600.
State Examiner Jones later closed the
bank. He issued statement TO the ef.
feet that he had found the bank without
an executive officer present or in the
city. The president of the bank is
Paul o. Stensland, who is now in Eu-
rope, Theodore Stenslsnd, is vice presi-
dent.

MONDAY EVENING. AUG. 6, 1905.

ACCORDING to the figures OF the In
terpal Revenue Bureau for the last hScsi
year. the receipts from the tax on spirits
were $l4S, 994, O55, an increase OF ST.
435, 542, an receipts from tobacco were
S4S. 1922, 997, an increase of 81, 1853 ,OS6
over the previous year. The largest
proportiouate increase of revenue, how
ever came from the tax on beer. The
figures for l9O4.5 and 1906, respec-
lively, we're $40, 459, 599 and s54, =
696. Since the tax is 81 on each barrel
of 3ll gallons, this means that the
people of this country consumed some
thing like 100, 900, 900 gallons Of beer
more last year than the year previous
The increase in the plumber OF gallons
of spirits taken out of bond for con-
sumption was about $500, 600, and a
large percentage Of this WAS used In the
arts and industries and not drunk. The
Inference is that beer is displacing the
more intoxicating beverages. The sub
substitution of a mild end refreshing
stimulantl for ardent drinks like whisky
indicates a changing of the national
habits in the direction Of temperance.

Pass Up Stone Question

'If it cost three hundred Thousand
dollars more to build a five hundred
thousand dollar building out OF Sioux
Falls granite than it does out of Bed
ford stone we are for the Bedford
stone and the new state administra-
ton will probably hesitate a while
before it %recklessly spends three hun
dred thousand dollars to appease
Sioux Falls -Huronite.
As a matter of fact it will not cost
''three hundred thousand more' to
build Of Sioux Falls stone if the plans
and specifications do not call for cut
stone work. If the elaborate cutting
and shaping that is commonly given
to soft stone be attempted on the
Sioux Falls jasper, the cost, OF course,
will be large. South Dakota stone
should be practically as cheap as any
other stone if used in the style for
Which it is best adapted and which by
the way, is infinitely more beautiful
and artistic than any effect the
Indiana stone can be made to produce.
The whole question, however,
should be settled by the next legisla-
ture. Let the people vote for rep
resentatives who represent their views
on the use of South Dakota stone in
the state capital, and let the next
legislature settle the matter once and
for all. This arrangement should be
satisfactory to all concerned, especial
ly as the use of South Dakota material
was made an issue in the late pre-
convention fight. 1t is only a short
time until the legislature will be
elected, and no harm can come from
the short delay.-Argus Leader.

During the present age great pro-
gress has been made in medical
science. Sanitary systems have been
greatly improved upon. Much has
been said and done regarding health
full exercise. Mood Of living to
increase the age of mankind. The
happiness of the home and the care
of its inmates has been discussed
until if all were complied the total
amount would be astonishing. With
all this wisdom, which has been
gathered and exploited, it is strange
that the public mind has SO long
failed to grasp the idea that there were
other and very important factors on
dusive to health which must also be
considered. From the recent expos
ures relating to impure foods of all
kinds which have been consumed by
all nations and particularly by citizens
Of the United States it is convincing
evidence that in many cases it is not
so much the learned physician who is
needed to cure the ailment as it is the
health officer who shall remove the
cause Of the disease. 1t is true, as
the national committee which has
been investigating the problem says
it is, that there are endless numbers
of impure and even poisonous foods
delicacies now on the market, may
this not be the reason for so many
ailments heretofore practically
unknown? 1t certainly is high time
this nation made a vigorous study Of
the cause rather than to apply a
remedy for the diseases which result
from feasting off of impure foods.
Men, in their mad rush for money
forget their duty to their fellow beings
and care little for suffering and death
so long as the dollar is greater than
manhood.
