1ne issue in question is better known
as the VIM. T. Coad bonds, and were in
the sum of S156, 49, 60. Eighty thousand
dollars worth of bonds were disposed of,
and the balance were recalled and burned
by the city officials. The bonds were s.
sued at the time under the pretext OF re-
funding an old indebtedness, when. as q
matter OF fact, only $500 worth of the
proceeds from the bonds sold were used
worth were gratu:tously turned over to
William T. Coad to aid in the construction
of the Dakota & Wyoming Crouch Line)

cember "a, 1906, an injunction was granted
by the circuit court of this county, re-
s%training the city from paying either the
principle or interest on said bonds, and for
the further reason that the bonds were

off an old indebtedness, when. as a mat
ter of fact, only 5000 of the issue was SO
used On these grounds and others, the
present city officials proposed 10 fight the
issue.

WEST OF RIVER CROPS ARE
GOOD THROUGH TO HILLS

Sioux Falls. $. D., Jun 21.-Very en-
couraging reports of crop conditions in
that part of the state lying west of the
Missouri river are brought here by
James b. Veitch, a well known nipple
ment man of Sioux Falls. who has re-
turned from a business trip to Cham
berla1n and points west of there clear
through to the Black Hills. Last year
that part of the state, as well as the
eastern section, had a shortage of mois-
ture during the ~forepart of the season
and crops were affected. This season.
however, the prospects for a big crop
could not be brighter n it is expected
the newer region west of the Missouri
river will be as prosperous as the older
portion east of the river. Mr.. Veitch
states that recently that entire region
has had two soaking rains, with the re-
suit that there Is a large amount Of
moisture in h ground and crops gen.
orally could not be in better condition
than they are at the present time.

There has been no record kept Of
the staff on preceding executives. al
though 1t is certain that they had
them.
A. G. Mellette, the first governor, was
said to have had as many colonies"
on his staff as grain in a bushel OF
wheat. The state treasury was like
Mother Hubbard's cupboard in those
days and 1t is said that he governor
felt a conscientious duty to make his
office pay for its salt. Every appoin-
tive officer had to pay 81 to have his
fled with the secretary OF
state. and the governor by appointing
an immense STAFF earned large sums for
the general fund.
1t is told that an office seeker from
one of the northern counties called on
the governor day and talked about
as follows: Governor, some of the
boys who have always been good re-
p%ublicans got together the other day
and discovered that our county has
never e honored in any way by ex-

ed that Ii was time something was do

ignorant of these things and don't
know II I could qualify or not. Can
you tell me whats needed"
