sided at the home OF It's paternal grand

inp owe one hundred thousand
dollars; and the Sioux Falls Savings
Bank holds S142, 600; while the
balance is scattered over the state
generally in small amounts in many
banks. the report shows only about
50, 500 in the general fund, this
being caused by a recent call Of out
standing warrants. The capitol
building fund at that time showed
Sl6l, 772, which is sufficient to carry
the work this year and most of next,
with Indications favorable for
further sales OF building lands before
the end OF the present year to swell
the fund.

ful campaign next summer. Where

the senator Is being extended the

manner as to indicate his growing

who assumes this attitude is right.
Not only is he right in the business

who comes into the employ of a

that he can do. For this he is paid
a certain amount Of money at GER

amount, it is said that the average

Importing Apples from
Austr liza and Tasmania

New York, May 28.-For the first
time on record a consignment of apples
arrived here yesterday in .the White
Star line steamer Celtic from Australia
and Tasmania, and those who know
something about antipodean apples as
sert the American pippins will have to
look to their laurels. When the officers
of the Celtic heard Australian apples
were to form part of their ships cargo.
they said something about carrying coal
to Newcastle, but the consignees of the
imported apples justify their CONNER
cial courage, with the prediction that
there won't be an American apple
worth eating on the market, save those
held by spectators, within two weeks.
The consignment in the Celtic consist
ed of l 1,O10 cases of apples. These were
on the trees of Australia and Tasmania.
$4,000 miles away, in March. The fruit
was consigned to w. n. White, produce
dealer, of 76 Park place. Mr.. White to-
day made the statement that there are
not 20, 900 barrels of American apples
In the whole country and that by June
l there won't be a barrel purchasable
except from spectators.
