sheriff brought down to Milbank
from Aberdeen the man Lee Greise,
who was charged with killing a
negro. Both men belonged to the
doating population that is at pre-

towns, supposedly looking for
work. The shooting was the result
Of game of craps in which the
negro had won the white man s
money.
On coming before Judge Bouck
the man pleaded guilty and was
sentenced to fifteen years in the
penitentiary at Sioux Falls.

THE CITY WATER SUPPLY

The authorities have concluded
arrangements to have civil engineer
Jones Of St. Paul visit the city
the latter part of the week and
draft the plans and specifications
for the new water supply and filter
ing plant, which the council has
had under consideration for some
time. This is a commendable ac-
tion, and it is sincerely hoped that
the matter will be press ID to a
successful issue.
The water supply for the city is
a question that has long needed a
solution, and one that can no longer
be postponed. Fly all who have in
vestigated the matter it is fully
believed that a good filtration
plant is the only practical and per-
manent solution of the problem.
The plant can be installed for
about $4,000 and the city supplied
W h an abundance f b O.
lutely pure water estimated at
about 5000 gallons a day. which
will be ample for many years to
come, the present demand being
only about $4,000 gallons per day.
The people of Milbank are looking
to the city authorities to push this
matter with all possible speed, as
not only the prosperity and growth
of the city is being hindered, but
the health Of the community is be-
ing imperiIed by the present con
diions.

formidable to anything across the

WANTS A HEAVIER TAX ON
STATE BANKS

Believing that the guarantee of
deposits fund in the State treasury
Is not growing with sufficient rapid
ty, Senator Wilmington has offered
a bill in the Senate doubling the tax
imposed on banks for this purpose.
The measure has been favorably re-
ported from the committee on bank
ing, and will be called up for passage
during the next few days.
Under the present law the banks
pay one-twentieth oI one per cent on
their deposits for the guarantee of
deposits fund. The amount now in
the treasury to the credit of this fund
is only about $18,5O0, which would
not be sufficient to protect the de-
positors of a very small bank in event
of its failure. Mr.. Wilmington
wants to increase this tax to one
tenth of one per cent.
The Wilmington bill also seeks to
amend the banking law in several
other respects, one clause imposing a
criminal penalty on bank officials who
permit loans to be made to officers
or directors in violation of the pro-
visions of the banking law on this
STANDARDIZATION News.

Catarrhal Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion Of the ear.
There is only n way to cure catar-
rhal deafness, and that is by a con-
stitutional remedy. Catarrhal Deaf
ness is caused by an inf1amed condi-
ton of the mucous lining of the
Eustr.en T1De. When this tube
is Unframed you hive a rumbling
sound OF imfsrfectfearing and when
it i emit ~, Deafness is the
result. unlssr-5 e inf1amiNt ton a
be reduced and this tube restored to
it's normal condition, hearing will be
destroyed forever. Many cases of
deafness are caused by catarrh,
which is an infamed condition of the
mucous surfaces. Halls Catarrh
Cure acts thru the blood on the
mucous surfaces of the system.
We will give One Hundred Dollars
for any cas- of Catarrhal Deafness
that cannot be cured by Halls
Catarrh Cure. Circulars free. All
