WEST CASE DISMISSED

For about the fifth time Richard
West, colored. appeared for trial
in police court this morning
and tho mayor, seemingly grown
tired of his appearing, dismissed the
case entirely. No bond was given by
Mr.. West and it seemed that the man
who had the warrant sworn out
against him had done it entirely for
revenge.

BANK DEPOSITS GROW.

The report of State Bank examiner
j. l.. Jones for June 2 shows deposits
of individuals in that class of banks
in this state amounting to $34 1905, ,62O.-
81. This shows a decrease in individ-
ual deposits in the state banks of a
little over sixty thousand dollars from
March 6, but shows an increase of
$9OS,396.20 in the past year For the
same time the national banks in the
state showed an increase of $692,S40..
20, making the net increase of indi
vidual deposits in the state from
March to June, $632,505O3. The to-
tai individual deposits which were be
ing carried in the national banks of the
state the last of May were $40, ,769.-
O2. The combined deposits of both
classes of banks for the first of June
being $54, S,97466. For several years
there has been a steady increase in
South Dakota bank deposits and the
panic" of last year, with the hard
times of this year, has made no ap-
preciable effect upon the general rate
of increase.

AFTER THE ELEVATORS.

DR.. Schanz, botanist from the bureau
of plant industry of the Department
of Agriculture at Washington, spent
day or two here last week the guest
of Prof. Willis. He came here from
Highmore, where, together with Prof.
J. S. Cole, he examined into crop con-
ditions. Special Agent Fitz of the De-
partment, was also here for a couple
of days consulting with Prof wills.
Mr.. Fitz is making a special study
of the method of standardiz,. tion en-
ployed by the elevator and grain COM
panies of the Northwest, and will work
as far west as Portland, Oregon. The
government has received considerable
cor Dlaint from the farmers of the
country who claim that their grain is
undergraded and as a consequence
they are underpaid. The big milling
companies make like complaint,
claiming that elevator companies mix
some No. wheat, little No. and
a lot of No. 3 to make No. 2 grade
Mr.. Fits Investigations will probably
result in the government establishing
a uniform system of Standardization

A CITY LEAGUE.

A city league has been formed CON-
posed Of teams from the four wards
and a series of games has been ar.
ranged. The first of these was played
Monday evening between the First
and Fourth wards, resulting in vic
tory for the First. The Second and
Third ward teams will play the first
of the week, either Monday or Tues.
day, and the winner of this game
will play the First ward for the cham
pionship of the city, while the loser
will play the Fourth ward for the
cellar honors. After these four games
have been completed it is likely that
another series will be played, and the
first game will be between the two
high teams of the present series.

THE LAST SAD RITES.

Yesterday afternoon at 300 o'clock
funeral services of Edward l.. Weaver
were held from the home Oh Utah
street.
1t was most solemn and sacred
occasion to the many friends of Mr..
Weaver who were present to do hon
or to their dearly beloved friend who
was so suddenly taken from this life.
The funeral services were conducted
by the Brotherhood of Locomotive Fire
men and Engineers assisted by the
Ladies Auxiliary, both organizations
being present in a body. Rev. Long
officiated in the absence of Rev. Rifen-
bark
Edward l.. Weaver was born Sep
tember s, 1880, at Dundee, Ill.,, where
he spent his boyhood and received his
early education. When still boy his
parents, Edward A. Weaver and Nina
NJ. Weaver, came west to Nebraska
where they lived for several years.
After he had grow to young man
hood the family moved to Brookings,
this state, where the son Edward at
tended college. At 20, in the fall of
1900, he entered the service of the
railroad as a fireman, and after serv-
ing four years was promoted to en-
gineer, which position he held up to
the time of his death. July 16, 1908.
Mr. Weaver was married on April
2S, 1906, to Miss Lucy Goodale of Brook
ings. He is survived by his wife
and a baby girl thirteen months old.
Also by his only sister, Miss Ethel
Weaver, and his mother, Mrs. Nina
Weaver.
Among the railroad men Mr.. Wea-
yer was known as the most careful
and steady engineer ON the line. He
was never known to shirk his duty or
to do anything carelessly, and was
loved and respected by all who knew
him.-Huron Herald-DemOcrat

QUIT YOUR KICKING.

There has been a good deal of
criticism Of the city council during
the past few weeks on account of the
condition of the streets and walks
about the city, but we think if the
situation was mere fully understood
there would be very few complaints
In the first place the street and walk
fund is very low and the council COM
mittee is trying to worry along as best
it can with the money on hand and
only those places which are in a very
bad condition are being fixed up. At
the present time it is estimated that
$4,000 could be easily put into cross
ings alone, and in order to do this
warrants would have to be issued,
bearing seven per cent interest, which
in view Of the already high city taxes
would be too much of burden.
When the council made the tax levy
for this year they were of the opin-
ion that the street fund would be in
adequate, but as the taxes were al
ready high for city purposes, coupled
with sewer and water assessments,
the concluded that the people who pay
the bills, would bear with the present
condition for year. They are handling
this part of the city business exactly
as a good business man would handle
his own affairs. They have not got
the money and prefer to do without it
as long as possible rather than go in
debt.
Another feature that has added ex-
pense to this department is the con-
dition in which the streets are left by
the sewer and water mains. Any
amount of money could be spent in
grading and leveling up where the
mains have run, but it is very probable
that the work would have to be done
over again next year

FIRST WARD VICTORIOUS.

The First ward ball team cleaned
up the Fourth warders in a close and
exciting game at the fair grounds Mon
day evening, the score being l to O..
The winners secured their run in
the second inning on force-out fol-
lowed by pass and a single. Both
teams threatened to score several
times, but fast work cut off the runs.
Koch pitched for the victors and al
though wild he was effective. Allison,
who did the singing for the Fourth,
was touched up rather lively at times
and only good support from his team
mates saved him from a worse beat
ing. The game was featured by con-
stant wrangling between the umpire,
players and crowd, but despite the
many protests, most of which were
instigated by the spectators, Carl
Thayer umpired a fine game.
The two teams lined up as follows:

LIGHTNING STRIKES HOME.

Lightning struck the home of B. L..

the bolt entering near the chimney
and tearing away the roof boards and
damaging the walls of the upstairs
rooms. Roy Wilson was knocked
down and stunned while standing in
the lower hall and Mr.. and Mrs. Will
son were also effected by the shock,
but recovered in a few minutes. The
electrical storm was accompanied by
heavy rain which cooled off the
atmosphere after one of the hottest
days of the season.
