HOT SPRINGS POSTAL
BANK WELL PATRONIZED

Deadwood, S. D.-According to
figures received here, the most sue
cessful postal savings bank in South
Dakota is located at Hot Springs. The
government bank there has larger de
posts than any of the other postal
savings banks in the state and it is
declared to be due to the presence in
Hot Springs of so many of the old
soldiers Who make their homes at the
National and State Soldiers Homes
there. Almost all of them who have
any money deposit in the postal bank
and as none OF them are at all afflu-
ent, the 500 per month limitation
does NOT affect them. There is how
ever much dissatisfaction through
the Black Mills with the 500 limi-
tation and banks in this part of the
state owned and operated by the gov
eminent all report that many de-
p%ositors will not do business with
them on account of this limitation.
The postmasters decline to give QUE
any government footings or figures
but the Hot Springs postal bank is
the only one which is declared to be
doing a large business.

st. Lawrence, S. D.-While the
preachers were praying Wednesday
night at the Huron District camp

A heavy cyclone wave passed di-

down in the heavens above the tent.
At times it looked as if it would
descend on the tent and the town,
but it passed over the camp meeting
grounds and burst with fury south
of st. Lawrence.
After the storm the preachers I'M
tied in prayer and thanked God for
the rain and for saving them from
the storm.
One family at the camp meeting
hurried home in an automobile. only
to meet the storm on the road and
have the top shattered into shreds by
hail. Another family arrived home
from the meetings just as the hail
storm struck their farm and killed
some of the chickens and the electric
storm struck their buildings, damag-
ing the roofs.
After the storm the preachers and
people gathered in the big tent and
listened to a sermon preached by Rev.
g w. Rosenberg. district superin-
tendent, of Sioux Falls. DR.. and Mrs.
Rosenhcrry also sang a duet for the

SOUTH OUTLET
FOR MILWAUKEE?
DECLARED 1T is BUYING KANSAS
CITY SOUTHERN. IN ANTTCI-
PATTON OF CANAL TRAFFIC :

Philadelphia. Pa.-That the Chi
cago, Milwaukee & st. Paul railroad
company is buying control of the
Kansas City Southern railroad is the
burden of a rumor in Philadelphia
railway circles, where much of the
in the latter railway is held.
The is not without more or
less indirect corroboration, notably
the recent flotation by the Milwaukee
company of a heavy bond issue and
the actual purchase by this line of
considerable blocks Of Kansas City
Southern shares. These stocks have
very strong of late, while other
rail stocks have been depressed.
1t is believed that the Milwaukee
company has in mind that which
James j.. Hill saw several years ago
and which caused him to purchase
the Colorado & Southern, the chang
es that likely will come upon the op-
ening and operation of the Panama
canal. When that time comes much
of the traffic that now finds it's way
to either coast will be diverted to the
gulf ports. BY securing this new con-
nection, the Milwaukee is getting in
line to participate in the business
routing via the Panama canal.
Railroad men regard the Kansas
City Southern as II of the prettiest
on the railroad maps as a north and
south line. 1t has a mileage Of S27
miles, and from Kansas City 1t ex-
tends southwest almost as the crow
flies to Port Arthur, which has be-
come a port of considerable import
ance and has developed with the
growth of the Texas company, in
which the late John w. Gates took a
great deal of interest.
Kansas City Southern is capitalized
at s30,000,00O of common and $21,-
000,0 of preferred. Something like
$27 for common and $50 for prefer
red, would call for an expenditure of
about $40, o00.o GOO to secure a major.
'ity interest.

HAROLD MADE "DRY"
BY COURT DECISION

Pierre, S. D.-Judge Hughes has
decided that the petition on which a
license election was held at Harold
was not a legal one, and that the
election was void. This means that
Harold will be in the dry list for the
next year, even though a majority of
three voted for saloons.
The people of Madison are making
a fight against the new law which at
tempts to fix q majority of those
voting on the proposition sufficient
to declare a town in favor of liquor
licenses. The holdings have been that
it requires a majority of all votes on
any subject voted for at the election,
for a favorable vote on license, but it
is attempted to change this to the
vote on the subject alone. This will
be tested out at Madison, where the
town will be dry under the old ruling
but n license town under the new
enactment.

EMPRESS COMPANIES OF STATE
ARE SUED FOR FAILURE TO
MAKE REPORTS ON THEIR
BUSINESS.

Aberdeen. S. Diapers in the suit
o. the state of South Dakota VS.. the
American Express company and the
Wells-Farso Express company have
been served on the local representa-
tive of the American Express and
the Sioux Falls agent of the Wells
Fargo company and have also been
fled with the clerk of the circuit
court of the fifth judicial district.
Each Of the companies is being
sued for the sum of 100000 for fail
ure to file with the auditor of the
state a statement of its business done
Tor each of the last four years, the
PENALTY for which failure is prescrib-
ed by law to not exceed the sum of
$4,000 for each such offense. Attor-
ney-General Royal G.. Johnson, in the
name OF the state, is bringing this
suit against the companies.
The law requires a statement Civ
ing the total number of employees en-
gagged by the company in the state
and the number in each county; the
total number of offices maintained in
the state and each county and the
value of all office furniture. fixtures
ard real estate owned by it within
this state; the number of miles of
railroad in the state and in each
county over which the company con
ducts its business, total number of
express or sleeping coaches owned or
leased by the company within the
state. also the gross earnings of the
total business of the company trans
acted i'm the state and the value of all
the company's property in the state.
The two cases will probably be
placed on the calendar for the No
y2mber term of court when they will
come before Judge Frank McNulty's
court in this city.
