PIERRE, S. D., Jan. Especial. 1.-THE
last year some Of the n Of the state,
which are carrying state deposits under
the previous Of the state depositary law,
have been dilatory in regard RENTING In
terest to the state treasurer, requiring a
great deal of correspondence in that line.
The state finance board at a meeting de-
clded to put a stop to this negligence, and
adopted a resolution requiring all such
depositary banks to remit the monthly
interest to the treasurer on the first day
of each month, and that the same time
send to the governor a statement of their
daily balances for the previous month And
1t was further resolved that failure on the
part of any Of the depositary banks to
comply with the provisions of the reso-
luton, up to the fifth on any month should
mean the withdrawal of state deposits
from the offending bank. The requests
to be made on banks of deposit are
greater than the money to supply those who
desire to get into the list, and failure on
the part OF the banks now on the list will
mean that they will be dropped and some
of the others given q chance,
The board also adopted a motion that it
would accept personal bonds on the part
OF depositary banks. wherever the bonds
were drawn and justified under the
provisions Of the depositary law. Up to
the present surety bonds alone have been
accepted from such banks.

Mayor lngledue's action.
As a result of the mayors refusal In
sign the twelve permits, the city will be
saloonless' for a time next week, until a
compromise with the mayor is effected.
This latest move in the saloon fight has
split the saloon factions wide open. be-
cause the attorneys representing the
saloons cannot get together on which
saloons shall survive.

battles must be fought, one in the state

There is a popular feeling OF gratitude
toward the United tSates because OF the
attention given the wounded by physicians

ment that the United states has not for

The impression was strong that Secrc-
tary Knox waited for q decisive victory
by General Estrada before giving him tho
moral support OF the Washington govern
mont. such a victory was won more than
a week ago and stu no encouraging word
Is received from Washington.
II another battle is fought II is likely
that no fewer than 12,cN men win be en-

be devoted to obtaining more rifles. with
a view to equipping 1900 additional SOL

Twenty Million Bushels in Field.

SIOUX FALLS, S. D., Jan. ~2.-(Special.)
1t is conservatively estimated by those
who have made investigation that there yet
remains in the corn field Of South Dakota
at least 1900, 900 bushels of corn, and some
place the amount at as high as 80, 600, 900
bushels. Although South Dakota had fine
fall weather, the farmers had so much to
do that they were unable to gather their
corn before winter set in. The result is
that corn fields have remained partially
buried under the deep snow and farmers
have been unable to enter their corn fields
with wagons and gather such part of the
crop as was not gathered before winter
set in. Thaws have been few and far
between, one stormy period following after
another in rapid succession. with corn at
so cents per hushel, and many millions
OF dollars worth remaining in the snow
covered fields throughout the state, the
only hope Of the farmers being able to
gather 1t is for a prolonged thaw to come
and melt the greater part Of the snow
which now remains upon the ground.

Patrick Curry of the little town Of Avon,

courted one of the bellies of Avon. Sud

met. In his counting of the particular
belle referred to he was so persistent that
the authorities finally were called upon to

Curry's mind was deranged and that he
was not responsible for his actions. Be-

Labor In Asked 60 Make
a Subscription.

WASHINGTON. Jan. 2.-officers Of the
American Federation OF Labor tonight is
sued a call on its 1,54O.O00 members to sub
scribe to a und with which to wage a
fight on the steel trust" The call ar
raigns the corporation as ininical both
to labor and the country and as a violator
Of the laws. The sun OF t154,o00 is to be
raised at once.
The steel corporation Is termed "A bold
and daring violator Of the laws" Further
calls for more money will be issued as
the fight progresses.
This action was taken as the result Of
the conference held in Pittsburg on De-
cember Is and IA between the Amalga-
mated Association of Iron and Steel Work
ers, the Tinplate Workers Protective as
ISOLATION and the Longshoremen's and
Seamen's unions. Samuel Gompers, presi-
dent Of the American Federation Of Labor,
was present at the meeting.

federation, the funds will not be turned
into the federation treasury. All subscrlp-
lions are to be sent to John Williams, who
has opened headquarters in the House
building, Pittsburg.
In his statement, Mr.. Gompers in un-
sparing language assailed the so-called
steel trust for it's aggression Of labor
and charges 1t with conspiring against pro-
duction, preventing an unmanlpulated mar
ket and striving for the elimination Of a
free press. He also charges that the cor
porRtion pays dividends on many millions
Of watered stock and that its financial
methods are corrupt and indefensible.
Attitude Toward Labor.
But, President Gompers continues, the
browning criminality'' of the trust is it's
attitude toward labor.
He especially arraigns the so-called
profit sharing plan, by which the com
pany gives its employees an opportunity to
obtain an interest in the vast business.
This plan, Mr.. Gompers contends, is "a
transparent deceit through which a small
minority of its employees are sought to be
bribed to help in daily sweating the vast
majority"
The labor leader Furthermore intimates
that these profit sharing employees are
carefully selected and that they are In
nearly every case men who are given to
discouraging the agitation of their fellows
for better living and working conditions.
The stee. corporation at Christmas was
to have given away $1,000, 900 in
gifts to its employees and to have offered
both the common and preferred steel shares
to those who cared to invest in them at
a little lower than the market quotations.
