ANOTHER SHOCK. WITHDRAWAL OF $2,150,000 FROM THE SUB-TREASURY. The Full Tide of Gold Exportation Seems to Have Set in-The Treasury Balance. Washington, Dec. 13.-The net gold balance in the treasury received another heavy shock by the withdrawal of $2,150,000 from the sub-treasury in New York, which leaves a true balance of $103,378,475. Of this amount withdrawn only $1,300,000 is thought to be for export. The full tide of the gold exportation seems to have set in, and when it will cease is the problem which the treasury officials do not care to discuss. The cash balance in the treasury was $155,571,782. So far this month the expenditures of the treasury department exceed the receipts by $4,204,530, making a total deficit, since July, 1894, the beginning of the fiscal year, of $26,499,645. The comptroller of currency has appointed J. Leslie Thompson, of Sioux Falls, receiver of the Citizens' National bank, of Madison, S. D., which closed its doors December 3.

spare in these lines to the committee's rooms opposite the postoffice. Tomorrow will be a day of large demands upon their bounty. Give anything and everything. "He giveth twice, who giveth promptly." Clark Pilot: Dr. Cormack, veternarian at the state agricultural college, was called to Richmond township last week to inquire into the cause of the death of a number of cattle in that neighborhood. The doctor says the feeding of dry feed and the failure to regularly water the animals and an absence of salt, is the prime cause of the trouble. In his opinion, if the stock is properly cared for there will be no further loss. The pupils of the Model department of the State Normal school gave their annual Christmas entertainment last evening under the direction of the principal, Mrs. Shanks. The exercises consisted of recitations, singing, etc., and the little folks showed excellent training in every particular. The chapel room was crowded beyond the limit of comfort and teachers and pupils were hampered in their efforts to appear to the best advantage. The attendance of spectators should be limited Lereafter to secure the best results. Mrs. Shanks deserves great credit for the excellence of the entertainment, including Christmas tree and presents. Bank Receiver Thompson returned from the Falls last evening and was found at his place of business in the Citizens National bank today by a DAILY LEADER reporter. Mr. Thompson is a pleasant gentleman to meet and is evidently a cautious business man. The reporter tried to elicit some information from Mr. Thompson in regard to the condition of the assets of the bank, but he was very guarded on what he gave out for as he shrewdly remanks, "it might be taken advantage of by designing ones to speculate on credits or properties of the bank. Some of the property, he thought, he was in a fair way to dispose of and might be able to declare a dividend before a great while, but, of course, the time was indefinite. The bulk of the loans and discounts were such that it would be difficult to realize on them before another crop here."

# THE LEGISLATIVE MILL. The senate has killed bills appropriating 40,000 acres of land for an insane asylum at Redfield and the same for the Springfield normal school, also the bill allowing county commissioners to deposit public funds in banks subject to interest, and the Kelley automatic ballot box bill. The joint resolution calling on Nebraska for a commission to locate the boundary line between the two states passed. The house passed the big irrigation bill, the bill providing that the auditor shall issue warrants only to the amount of appropriations for the current year and a joint resolution for a constitutional amendment increasing the limit of state debt to $350,000. The divorce bill has been favorably reported but stands so far down on the calendar that it has a poor show of passing. The unhappy fate of the judges salary bill also casts a shadow across the pathway of any bill intended mainly to put money into some one's pocket. The work of the Taylor investigating committee is drawing to a close but in quite a sensational way. Following up the arrest of McCoy for complicity with Taylor he has been served with attachment papers to prevent him from disposing of any moneys or property now in his possession. Cashier Humphrey of the Redfield bank is also recalled and will be dealt with summarily for giving false testimony in his former hearing. He then admitted he had made a false certificate to the public examiner last April and the other day he swore point blank that he had not done virtually the same thing to Ruth's bank at De Smet when he had. In addition to this legendary testimony the presence of ex-State Treasurer Smith and Receiver J. Leslie Thompson of Madison is desired. As Mr. Smith is just on his way back to England, his former partner in the banking business J. A. Trow was summoned to Pierre, perhaps in his stead, and perhaps, anyway. The idea of summoning Smith is if possible to ascertain the truth or falsity of the report that he was at the time he turned the office over to Taylor short to the state in the sum variously estimated from $8,000 to $25,000. Smith was president of the Citizens National bank at Madison while Thompson is the receiver of the institution. It is charged as well that there is a letter in existence said to have been written by Taylor in which he offered to loan the bank sufficient funds in order to tide over its difficulties. It is known that Taylor actually did negotiate a loan for the bank and it is proposed to ascertain whether this money belonged to the state or to private parties.

D., is in the city this week making his quarterly reports to the comptroller of currency concerning the status of the defunct Chamberlain National.

# TAYLOR'S BONDS The Victims of His Peculation Appear in Circuit Court. # OUR GIRL GRADUATES Items of Local Interest Gathered To- gether During the Week Gone By. The Taylor bondsmen case came up in circuit court Tuesday morning and defense presented an order from Judge Edgerton ordering the case to be tried in the United States circuit court. Judge Gafly denied the order. The defense objected to any- one serving on the jury who had heard of the alleged defalcation of W. W. Tay- lor. The objection was overruled. The witnesses sworn for the state were Governor Sheldon, Treasurer Phillips, Auditor Hipple, Asst. Secretary of State Gillett, Deputy Treasurer Burrington, Examiner Meyers and Terrill Pattison. Attorney General Crawford read deposi- tions of F. W. Humphrey, formerly cash- ier of the Redfield National bank, and Robert Moody, president of the Aberdeen National bank, in reference to the sig- natures of the different bondsmen. W. A. Barrington and Terrell Pattison testified to the identity of the cash books of the state. This closed the first day's proceedings. The first witness called yesterday was Terrell Pattison, who testified that the amount on hand at the first Taylor term was $82,000. The attorney general then read the dep- ositions of Chas. B. Kennedy, president of the Madison State bank; J. Leslie Thomp- son, receiver of the Citizens National bank, of Madison; S. A. Trow, cashier same bank; before the letter was finished, however, the officials of the Pierre banks were heard. P. F. McClure, president of the Pierre National bank, gave deposits turned over by ex-Treasurer Smith to Taylor as $16,- 313.31, and the deposits at the end of Tay- lors' first term as $21,347.43. B. A. Cummins, cashier of the first Na- tional bank, gave as deposits turned over by Smith to Taylor as $3,323.78, and the deposits at the end of Taylor's first term as $25,931.36. A. Ewert, cashier of the National bank of Commerce, gave as the deposit turned over by Smith to Taylor as $2,578.72, and the Taylor deposit at the end of his first term as $5,959.73. The case is attracting much attention and everyone is interested in the outcome. The court room is usually crowded with eager spectators. Attorney General Crawford is making a manful fight to recover for the state and will have the hearty endorsement of every right-minded citizen in the state.

He was sent from Lawrence county to serve a two and a half years' sentence for grand larceny, and, including good time, had only about eight months more to remain. He has been a trusty for some time, and was engaged at work in the prison garden when he took leg bail. It is thought he skipped out immediately after dinner and had a pretty good start before his absence was known. He is a Finlander, talking pigeon English, 23 years old and very small-not over five feet, three inches tall. Efforts to recapture him are being made.
