Per haps people arc more careless about going in and out when the weather is good. llro. Sweetland is bombarding King Andy within the capital breast works. He says ho must have those insurance statements. It reallv looks like a scrap with Pro. Healey. It would be less unseemly if the gen tlemen were to draw cuts!—or give t. Wee a little nibble.

Jherre Special:- -The state littnkex aminer, Muris Tuylor, iu his report which wiil be issued in a few days, discloses a very satisfactory state of affairs in South Dakota finances. Mr. T nylor wavs: State and private hanks in South Dakota at this lime are iu good condition. Deposit* are considerably larger than during any recent year, and securities are. n ■ to value and convertibility, better un derstood. The most uasrit: f:i<; >vv feature from the standpoints of the bank, appears to be the lessened de maud for money and the consequent decrease of loans. Conditions have been such for the past s »yeral years that banks have Mi compelled to greatly restrict their loans. Hence other adjustnunits have been forced, and with many pc >r e the borrowing habit has been broken. Hay and farm land for rent in all parts of the county. 9t4 Hand Co. It. E. Co. J. 11.
