Sioux Falls.-While the state bank
ing laws prohibit the giving of any Of
fetal information in such cases to the
public, it is believed that arrange
ments will be made whereby the Hen
derson State bank, of washington, will
be reopened in the course of a week
or two. This bank, which was cor
respondent of one of the strongest
Sioux Falls banks, was closed because
of the failure to collect sums due on
notes, the management, for the protec-
ton Of those giving the notes, not car
ing to go to the extreme of enforcing
collection, which would have meant
ruin to many. The assets Of the bank
are reliably stated to be far in excess
Of the liabilities, and it is stated by
those in position to know that depos-
itors will be paid 100 cents on the dol
lar of their claims against the bank.
It is believed the bank will reopen
under new management. Two or
three propositions now are being con-
sidered for the sale of the institution,
and If any of these are accepted the
bank will resume business at an early
date. Under the proposed re-organi-
zation the bank will be stronger than
ever.

Cut Number Of Saloons.

Sioux Falls.-Several important rec
concentrations are made in report
which has just been filed by the Good
Government league in reference to
the saloon question in Sioux Falls.
The report is the result of an exhaust
i've investigation of the subject. The
league suggests that in view of the
fact that it is the general practice OF
workingmen to cash their pay checks
in the saloons on Saturday nights that
the banks take turns in remaining
open for a period of one or two hours
each Saturday evening for the pur-
pose of cashing these checks. At pres
emit Sioux Falls has 80 licensed sa-
looms. The league recommends that
on July 1 next this number be cut
down to 20, and that not more than 20
licenses per year be granted until the
population of the city reaches $1,000,
when an additional saloon may be IL
censed for each 1000 of population.
The league further suggests that ar
rests of drunken men be suspended
for time as an experiment, and that
instead a few of the saloon men who
sell to intoxicated men be prosecuted.
1t is further recommended by the
league that the city provide first
class loafing place, or poor mans club
for all men who desire to take ad-
vantage of it.

BOUND OVER FOR HEARING.
Abel Perry Accused Of Traffic IN
White Slaves.

White Slaves.
Yankton.-Deputy Marshal Jerry
Carlton appeared before United States
Commissioner E. T. White, having in
custody Abel Perry, alias George Mar
tin, alias o. B. Mills. Under the white
slave law the prisoner was charged
with transporting girl under IL
years of age from Iowa into Nebraska.
Agents Of the government became
aware of the affair and chase ended
in the capture of the man in question,
whost first knowledge of any case, so
he claims, he gained through an an.
nouncement in the papers that he was
wanted. He tells a straight forward
story of the girl, with whom he had
lad slight acquaintance, appealing to
him for money with which to make
trip and his compliance with her re-
quest with no further thought of the
affair until his attention was called
to the article referred to in the paper.
He was bound over under $1,000 to
the next term. of the circuit court at
Cedar Rapids, la. The case is partic
ularly interesting, as it illustrates the
activity of the government trying to
put stop to the white slave traffic.

largest and most costly structure of
