GIVES PRESENT
STATUS OF FUND
L. o A $ FROM PERMANENT
SCHOOL MONEY MUST BE Sc
CURED FROM COUNTIES.

Pierre, May 13.-Requests for
loans from the permanent school
fund cannot be filled by the state,
as all such funds are in the hands
of the different counties, which make
the loans, the money available for
this purpose, $177,920, having been
apportioned to the different counties
on April s, the apportionment being
made as provided by the constitu-
tion and the Code, on basis of
population.
The money SO sent out for invest
ment in loans, and where the counties
hold such funds unloaned, If they
have any such applications will no
doubt get consideration from the
county boards.
There has been somewhat of a
shortage of the permanent school
fund for the past couple of years,
this being on account of the fact
that under existing financial condi-
tions many of the deferred pay
ments are being carried until the
them, and the further fact that on
account of the situation as TO land
sales the board of school and public
lands decided not to offer any lands
on the market for this spring, and
very little money will come in from
this source until the land market
changes and sales start again, and
until the purchasers under contracts
are in shape to resume their defer
red payments.
The fund sent out this spring
was composed of the annual defer
red payments, which were due un-
der the new terms of sale and GER
tain number of deferred payments.
which were due under the new terms
of sale and a certain number of de-
ferred payments and final pay
ments made on old contracts of sale.
Under present conditions when
permanent school funds are entrust-
ed to the counties for loaning the
state does not require the county
TO return funds, but they remain
within the county to be loaned and
reloaned, and none of the counties
are returning any of the funds to
the state treasury, as they would do
if there was no demand for them
within the different counties.
Under the existing conditions there
will be very little available from the
permanent school funds until condi-
tions will allow the resuming of
sales, and ii any loans are secured
from that fund ii must be from that
part of ii which is available In the
different counties.

Lincoln, Neb., May 13.-When
Gen. Grant and Gen. Lee agreed up
on terms of surrender at Appoma-
tox, they were forging the weapon
that later struck the deciding blow
for the death of military autocracy
in the world war. Robert w. Nc

at the Nebraska encampment of the

'If we had failed in the winning
of the civil war;" he said, "there
would have been no great United
States to turn the tide of battle in
the world war. The trail runs
straight from Appomatox to the Ar

Vice Commander Mcbride took ex-

HIGHER PRICES
RULE IN WHEAT
BEARS WIN IMPORTANT CLASH
BETWEEN POWERFUL GROUPS
IN CHICAGO MARKET.

Chicago, May ia sharp round
ly been going on for some time be-
tween two powerful opposing groups
in the wheat trade here has been
won by a coterie favoring higher
prices. The net result was that
wheat available for delivery here
this month jumped in value IL
cents bushel.
An emergency rule which went in
To- effect this morning had seeming
ly opened a way for at least the tenn
porary discontinue of the bulls. the
traders whose interest at present
was in a rise of values. The rule
provided that for May delivery any
wheat in cars on railroad tracks
here could be rendered instead of
wheat stored in elevators, AS this
made larger deliveries feasible and
a consequent big setback in prices
might follow, the outcome was look
ed forward 10 with much interest.
Considerable tension was evident
in the wheat pit at the opening of
business for il was already known
that the amount of wheat delivered
on May contracts today had totaled
roughly ten times more than had
been the case "a hours previous. For
few moments. the clash of forces
in the pit oloked like drawn bat
tie. Prices, instead of breaking as
many had been expecting showed a
slight gain. Then the market trem-
bled, and dropped slightly.
Numerous buying orders effecting
strong support for prices were quick
ly forthcoming however, and for the
rest of the day the market went al
most straight upward, assuming un-
usual momentum just before the
close. and finishing at race horse
speed. Last prices reached for May
were SLAB to SLAB Ia, the topmost
of the day, but lacking 5-S cents
of the high record for the season.

Bank Deposits
Are Protected

Pierre, May IA bona fide de-
positor of money in state bank in
South Dakota, need have no appre-
hension that the state guaranty fund
will be construed not to protect his
deposit, says a statement issued by
the banking department. That is
the purpose of the state guaranty
fund and the depositor may rest as
sured that it will be so used, the
statement continued.
Apparently three has been a mis-
understanding created by certain
newspaper reports concerning the
guarnty deposit law in connection
with the recent failure of the Peoples
State Bank of Canova, according to
John Hirning, superintendent OF
banks.
''It has been reported" Mr.. Hirn-
ing said, that innocent depositors in
the Peoples State Bank of Canova
have been held to be unprotected
This is an error. When the bank was
suspended certain certificates of de
posit were found to have been ISSUED
by the officers of this bank which
we belieed were not issued for thu
deposit of any moneys but were false
ly and fraudently issued without de
posit being made"
The bank superintendent explain
ed that he has raised the question
whether the guaranty act insure'
such alleged fraudulent certificate
of deposit and will seek decision
from the state supreme court on tn
point.
