South Dakota
Banks Ignore
Guaranty Law
South Dakota Institutions Are Not
Placing Themselves Under Pro-
visions of Statute.

PIERRE. S. n. June 2S.-CSpecial)-Ar-
ticles Of Incorporation have been filed for
the Farmers State bank Of witten, Trip
county, with a capital OF 5000. The incor-
p~orators are A. D.. Shepard. Dennis
O'Leary. witten; Chester Slaughter. Dali
las. The last half Of the June has seen
a rush OF the 5000 banks at the smaller
towns over the state. as no banks can
be organised in the state after the first OF
July, with less than $4,000 in capital. This
new law may reduce the number Of banks
in the smaller towns, but there Is no prob
ability Of the banking business languishing
in the state with its present financial con-
ditions.
I While the bank guaranty law does not go
into effect until the first OF next month
no banks have yet shown any indication OF
placing themselves under the provisions Of
the act, and II is not considered probable
that any great number of banks will take
advantage of It. A few may at the start,
and II they show any decided gain in
business through such act. II may become
general in its use so far as state banks
are concerned, but II will remain for some
bank OF Importance ito break the ice" be-
fore any rush to get under the new pro-
visions will be perceptible.

TWO THOUSAND MEN AND
WOMEN BUY ROUGE MONTHLY
And T1ey Are Not All stage Folk,
Either, lays n Druggist Who
Knows.

Approximately 1000 men and women
chiefly ~vomen-buy rouge or other cosmet-
les every month in Omaha. The estimate
is made by four leading drug store pro-
p~rletors.
Inasmuh as the number is far larger
than that OF the actors and actresses who
live in or visit this city in one month the
conclusiorl is inevitable that a good many
women are trying to help nature out. II
should be added with speed that artificial
roses in the cheeks are not a peculiar
product Of this vicinity, but that hand.
made comhexions flourish everywhere.
80 far as l can observe" said one drug
gist, the only men who buy rouge are
actors, and their use OF 1t may be consid-
cred legitimate.
Some of the women who are our stead
lest purchasers probably would give In
their occupations as acting II arrested, but
who have never been nearer the stage than
the front row in the p%arquette.
Black pencils for darkening eyebrows
do not sell IN anything like the amount
that rouge dies. for these can, 1 fancy, be
improvised fpm burnt matches. Face en-,
amel is almost a negligible quantity, though
it used to sci considerably.

They buy in less quantity, too, making
rouge, l suppose, go further and achieve
a milder tone,
There is a. much rouge sold in summer

comes a habit like drinking, but womeT
who appear ,nce with heightened color

HOLMES ASKS FIRE WARDEN
Will Run Risk Of Getting Pay if
Mayor Will Appoint Him.
HE IS REGARDED AS THE WINNER
Promised Piece of Pie by Mayor, who
Pulled Him Out Of Council Race
Against In Spring
Election.

Robert H. Holmes, member OF the last
legislature, author OF the fire warden bill
and pre-primnry candidate for the demo
cratic nomination for the counci from the
Fourth ward. H. a candidate for the posi-
ton Of fire warden and has told the mayor
that II appointed he will take his chances
on getting paid
City Attorney Burnam believes the money
TO pay the salary Of the fire warden. the
new office created by the last legislature.
must come from the general fund, mas
much as the legislature failed to designate
any fund and he is also Of the opinion that
this fund could Withstand a drain of t75C
to pay the new official for the balance OF
the year. The general fund is now in a
bad condition, but It is figured that there
will be more money later in the year.
Mayor Dahlman has made no promise as
tc whom he will appoint to the new posi-
tion in the event the city attorney advises
him that he can nominate a man for fire
warden at this time. but II Is generally
understood that Mr.. Homes will get the
place.
Holmes started out TO make a strenuous
campaign against Councilman Johnson, but
a short time before the primaries he was
pulled out largely through the influence
OF the mayor. II was understood at that
time that the mayor had promised him a
good position IL he would lie down.
The state constitution bars any member
Of the legislature from holding any other
state office OF any office appointive by the
governor during hts legislative term. but
City Attorney Burnsm says he fails te
find where this section would have any
bearing on a city office and he believes
Mr.. Holmes could take the position, despite
the fact that he is the author Of the bill
which created the office.
Should the mayor make an appointment
the sppointee must be confirmed by the
Board Of Fire and Police Commissioner.
William F. Cowger, republican, is another
candidate for the position.
