and in such cases II was safer to ask
for mercy than to face him before
Jury.
I "Mfhetree Folkes was man OF very
iendearing personality. He was strik-
ingiy handsome. and yet there was not
the slightest touch OF vanity about
| him. He was as simple and unaffected
as a child. and as gentle and sympa-
thetic as woman. His thoughts were
pure and his lips unsu,lied with pro-
fame and wicked words. His manners
were prepossessing and his smile
would win affection from a stranger.
He was loyal and generous to his
friends, binding them by hoops of
steel His unselnshness was most
pronounced.S Perhaps his most mark
ed characteristic was his intense love
and devotion to his little family. On
November 20. 1898. he married Miss
Mary Wiley. OF Nottoway. and she
with three young children, survive

Law of Su description.

Few readers of newspapers
fully and clearly understand the
law governing subscriptions.
Below are the decisions of the
United States Supreme Court
upon the subject.
Subscribers who do not give
express notice to the contrary
are considered as wishing to re.
new their subscription.
| the subscribers order dis
continuance of their periodicals
the publisher may continue to
send them until all duesare paid
II subscribers continuctO take
the periodical from the post Of
fee to which it was directed, he
is responsible until he has set
tied his bill and ordered the
paper discontinued.
If subscribers move to other
places without informing the
publisher and the papers are
sent to the former address the
subscriber is held responsible.
The court has held that the re.
lusal to takethe periodicals from
the post office. on removing and
leaving them uncalled for is
prima facie evidence of intention
to defraud.
If subscribers pay in advance
they are bound to give notice at
the end of the time if they do
not wish to continue taking it,
otherwise the publisher is autho-
rised to send it and the sub scrib-
er will be responsible until ex.
press notice with payment of all
arrearages is made.

new RULING
BENEFIT STATE
New Rule Will Keep $,
500, 600 in South Dakota.

That South Dakota will be MAJ
terialy protited by the decision
OF the state bank commission
and public examiner that here
after state banks must deposit
so per cent of their reserve with
other state banks i'm this state,
is the announcement made in the
local financial circles.
Heretofore it has been the
custom of state banks in South
Dakota to send from l5 to 25
percent of their reserve to banks
in Sioux City and Minneapolis.
These banks would in turn send
a large percent of their reserve
to Chicago and from Chicago the
tread of money was towards the
clearing houses of America, Wall
street.
This departure of Sl1 100000
annually from South Dakota
made it difficult for South Da-
llotans to draw money on loans,
but under the new order of
things this money which has
been going out of the state, will
now be deposited with banks in
the larger cities of South Dakota
Sioux Falls, Aberdeen, Nit
chell, Auron, Lead and other
cities of like size.
! This, it is stated, will make
money much easier to Sc.
cure and will tend to setter ii.
nancial conditions throughout the
state.
When this action of the state
examiner and commission was
first announced, it was STATED
that it was a retaliation on the
recent action of the comptrollers
of currency at Washington This
is not true, but is the working
out of the new guaranty law
/ passed qy the last legislature
BY keeping the money of the
state whore it is under super.
vision of the state banking de
partment, losses to South Dako
ta depositorS will be reduced to
the minimum.

Clean up Week" Fire Prevention.

Pierre In line With the fire
prevention work of the depart

Stablin has issued a proclama-
tion in which he asks the mayors

claim Cleanup Week" some
time between now and the first
of November While this is in
tended to apply TO the cleaning
up of rubbish and accumulation
of weeds in alleys and back
yards, which may be the cause
OF starting fires at amy time, it
also includes the proposition of
the department which is being
carried on With the aid OF local
authorities, in the removal of old
buildings which stand as a men
ace to the towns in the way of
fire hazards and which will assist
in the reduction of insurance
rates if they are removed The
department is pushing this work
in "a number of localities, having
ordered several such structures
torn down in Deadwood and
Lead, and in the past week has
placed a ban in FIVE such struc-
lures i'm the business section of
Pierre. In some of the cases
the orders are being accepted
without protest and the work of
destruction has already been
commenced.

ATTY. EGGEN TO
OPEN LAW OFFICE
Popular Attorney Will Lo-
cate at New Ellington.

Carston Eggen, who for the
past two years has been aSSocia
ted with Co. Atty G.. r. Jorgen.
son here, has moved to New Ef-
tington where he will enter busi-
ness for himself. The New Eff
fling Record has the following to
say for this popular progressive
young man:
1t is with a great deal of
pleasure that we announce to
our readers that Attorney Car
ston Eggen has decided to open
a law office in New Ellington. He
has secured office rooms in the
N. G. Beiuo building over Green's
drug store and will have his
shingle huttering in the breeze
by next Monday.
Mr.. Eggen is a graduate of
the law school of the University
of South Dakota, in the class of
1912. After graduating, he spent
one year in the West and for the
past two years has practiced
law in Sisseton.
In his decision to cast his for.
tune with New Ellington, it
seems the universal opinion that
Mr.. Eggen has done wisely, and
most certainly our people are
glad of his decision.
He is no stranger here, being
the son of one of Roberts coun
tvs most prominent farmers
and has grown to ma nhood in
this immediate vicinity.
In the practice Of his profes :
sion he has been imminently
successful and has already won
considerable distinction as a law
yer.
Northern Roberts county has
long needed an attorney and now
we have one in New Ellington. -
