BANKS SHOW
LARGE DEPOSITS
South Dakota Banks Show That
Each Resident Has 500
Marked To Him

Pierre, Jan. 5-The state and ma
tional banks doing business in this
state show that at the call of condi-
ton for November 10, they were
earring in deposits subject to check
time certificates of deposits and saw
lngs deposited a total of S79. 729. 1871
which means over one hundred dol
lars in the banks of the state in these
specific funds, for each resident of
the state as shown by the census.
The bank carry other deposits of the
government. and with one another
which are not included in this show
ing. The state banks carried $50
900, 800 of this divided in check de-
posts S25, 1884, 018: time certificates
S23, 96,46l; and savings bank depos-
ties of $l,979, $50. These figures
show a net increase in the state
banks of 1871, 1884. which was in the
checking and time certificate ac-
counts, the savings showing a slight
loss, from the figures of the call of
September /, previous.
The national banks carried $685.
TO, 1892. an increase of $3.50, $50, all
in the checking accounts, the others
showing slight decreases from the
September calls. The savings de-
posits Of the state in both state and
national banks show up at $3,O67,-
932, but the time certificates of de-
post could very properly be classed
IN the savings accounts Of the people
Of the state, and these included
would show that practically half the
deposits of the banks are carried as
savings by the people of this state.
This state has mad a record of al
most %unbrOken increases in bank
deposits at every call of condition
for the past five years, and this is
certainly a practical evidence of
growth and prosperity which can be
put forward as one Of the strongest
possible Inducements for people
from the crowded east to get out
into the open of South Dakota as
the state to get into line with pros
neritY.

and his wife, a few years younger,
were burned to death in their home

full flame and Nelson was found

mother was taken i'll, and a nurse of
wide experience came into the
home. The ARE of Margaret was
one of her duties and as she watch

the child.
So the nurse studied Margaret.

Margaret had a wonderful love of
stories and was never so happy as
when listening to the recital of one.
Here was her chance. A story
was promised to Margaret every
night at bedtime, provided she had
not given way to her temper during
the day, and the rule was strictly
adhered to. At first. of course,
there were many nights of no story
telling. But with the help of the
wise nurse little Margaret guared

after a few months she seldom
missed a story. and was herself
proud of the victory.-Harper's

The older citizens of Miller were
shocked Monday to receive the news
that w. H. Smith had died at his
home in Huron at 1 o'clock that
morning. He was out to Pierre at
the opening of the Legislative ses-
sion, returning home Thursday even
ing. While on the train he ate a
piece of an orange, which in some
way lodged in his throat and caused
him some annoyance for several
hours. He secured the services of a
Huron physician who thought he
succeeded in pushing the orange
beyond the throat. But the expect
ed relief did not come, and after
considerable suffering, he passed
away Monday morning at 4 o'clock.
At his bedside were his wife. his
son Alfred and wife, and his broth
er d. H.. of Miller. His other son
Howard, in college at Baltimore,
wired that he would start for home,
, and his sister Elizabeth, now teach
ing in an academy in Kentucky an
sWered that she could not reach
Huron in time.
William Fl. Smith was a pioneer
4 settler of Miller, and was exception
ally well known over the state as a
noble man and Christian. In a
world too prone to cynical incredul-
ity he furnished an object lesson of
courage and Christian fortitude sell
dom met with. Today, with a clear
er insight in retrospect, that world
will accord him a place envied of all
men. He was a nature-lover, and
flower and plant life blossomed at
his touch; the woodland, the brook,
tie little children, all smiled back at
hlm-and everywhere he saw the
good and beautiful things a great
Creator gave to man. His life work
is a monument of gentle faith
and courage.
He was born in York county Penn
sylvania, in December, 1857, remov-
ing to Buffalo, Wisconsin, at the
age Of six. where his father was a
Minister. In December of 1888 w.
II. Smith was married to Annie f.
Turner, at MarcelIa, WIS. That
same year Mr. Smith and wife joined
the big immigration to Dakota,
settling at Blunt. They were soon
joined by Mr. Smiths three brothers
and sisters, Chambers, Merle, How
ard, ur Dick, and Miss Elizabeth.
In 1884 w. H. and d. Fl, came to
Miller to engage in the grain bust
ness. Some wears later the brothers
Chambers and Merle both died at
Blunt, and Miss Elizabeth came to
Miller and taught in the city schools.
MIR and Mrs w. II. Smith resided in
Miller until the fall of 1899 when
they removed to Huron. Their two
ons Alfred and Howard were born
in Miller.
In 1890. 1892, 1894, Mr. Smith was
elected Clerks of Courts of Hand
county, and IN the spring of 1897
and 1893 he was elected Mayor of
Miller, serving with credit in both
positions, He was undoubtedly one
of the most popular men ever claim
ed by Hand county as a citizen, ever
ready with a smile, a kind word or a
generous deed for old or young.
He left Miller to fill the position of
travelling auditor for the Van Dusen
Elevator Co., and continued in that
work until his death. He leaves his
family a considerable life insurance.

days in Miller with relatives and old
friends, and the sudden announce

Attack was a Surprise.

San Diego, Calf, May 9.-The at
tack was a complete surprise to the
federal forces. Following last nights
skirmish a scouting party sent out
by the tederals found no trace of the
thanking party and returned with the
report that the rebels had retreated.
Tie town went to sleep and no
guards were posted. An irregular
volley at close range awakened the
defenders of the town this morning
too late for them to gain the trenches
and repulse the on rush.
Part of the Federals entered the
Catholic church, a wooden building.
Others entered the adobe custom
hause. The rest fled only to be shot
a sthey ran. The Catholic church was
set on fire after it had been ruined
with bullets. Those inside who sought
to escape by dashing through flames
were shot as they emerged from the
burning building.
At the customs house a small party
of federals was still holding out when
the last news came fro mthe town.
Some of the men are said. to have
been wounded and others killed by
fire pouring through windows by the
rebels.

COMMON SCHOOL FUND
IS ENRICHED $4,000
PENITENTiARY BONDS ARE RE.
TIRED TO AMOUNT OF
$s5,253.34.
Bonds were Paid Entirely Out Of
Earnings Of the Irvine PIant-Good
Profits Shown Last Year.

Warden F.. o. Hellstrom issued a
warrant yesterday to retire $4,000 OF
four per cent Irvine plant bonds, which
were issued May /, 1901, and due this
month. The total amount paid was
$95, 253.34, $1,253.34 of this being for
interest. These bonds were held by
the state of North Dakota in the COM
mon school fund.
The fact that these bonds were paid
entirely out Of the earnings of the
Irvine plant demonstrates that the peo-
pie who instigated the movement in
starting the plant had the right idea.
The plant has made money even dur
ing the hard years, and has been si1d-
ed to and improved until it is one of
the most complete plants in the en-.
tire country.
1t is no doubt gratifying to the pres
ent board to be able to retire these
bonds at this time as it will be one
of the last important official acts, in
asmuch as the legislature recently
passed a bill providing for a board
of control to take charge Of certain in.
situations, including the penitentiary.

SMALL Children
APPEAR IN COURT

San Antonio, lex, May 9.-One Of
the most unusual indictments ever
returned by grand Jury in this coun.
try came to light yesterday when
Willie and Preston Lewis, aged re.
spectively six and eight years, were
called in the 9th district court charg-
ed with burglary. When Judge
Dryer saw the children, he said, "Are
these the accused? Well, in all my
experience this is the limit. These
little tots are too young to be lee
tured by the court, much less tried
for the offense. They must be sent
home and an officer accompany them"
1t was alleged that the children had
been used by older boys to climb over
transoms and pilfer houses. They
had been in Jail three weeks.
