Two men wero arrested on suspicion but on Investigation wero dlacharged this balance of the July apportionment of the permanent school fund, amounting to 216,- CIO. The largest apportionment heretofore made was $178,720, for May, 1899, a part of which was carried to the next apportion ment, while the May apportionment for this year was $257,003. Letters from county auditors from nil parts of tho state havo convinced the com missioner that a smaller amount of the fund will bo called for during the present apportionment period than for the same tlmo tho past year "d that nt lc.ist $150,000 would lie Idlo In the state treasury. For this reason ho believes It to be his duty to take advantage of tho strict construction of the law, which clearly provides that all the fund shall be distributed In January and July of each year. This strict construction of the law Is forced by tho conditions which prevail over tho state. In tho matter of loans, as shown by tho national bank reports, which show for South Dakota an Increase of de posits of $200,000 since April, nnd a decrease In leans of $00,000 for tho same period. This same financial condition must be met by the state land department, nnd the loaning forced whero possible, or the state school fund will suffer for the lack of keeping the fund Invested. It has been suggested that there are but two ways to get the money out without forcing: One an amendment to the constitution and tho other a democratic administration to again diminish deposits For Summer Colds, Nervous Depression and Catarrhal Weakness.

The checking of the books of the school district has been completed nnd It is under stood that tho hwring of tho Hoctor re straining order will come up in the dis trict court next week. If there Is any de pendence to bo placed on streot rumor the caso will now come up on Ub merits nnd both sides will light for what in considered right. An effort has been made, It Is under stood, by friends of Hoctor, to have tho enso dropped, but to such a proposition Mr. 'Garlow and others who Instituted tho proceedings havo declined to agree. Since It became evident that a truco would not bo patched up Interest In the outcome has Increased. Hoctor aseerts that the showing of school funds ho will make will cause the court to dlssolvo tho restraining order, whllo tho opponents of tho Hoctor slto claim that the result will bo In their favor. Some question has been raised as to tho validity of tho outstanding warrants lu case the court grants the Injunction prayed for.

At present nearly $00,000 of school war rants aro outstanding and a large propor tion of theno has been cashed by those who deal In bonds and municipal warrants. Threats havo been made that lf tho Hoctor site deal Is not carried through the Jung mann school warrants will be thrown out and Innocent purchasers of them will be made to suffer. Ono recognized legal author ity on municipal law said yesterday that theso warrants could not be thrown out, but would havo to bo taken up by tho dis trict as soon ns tho treasurer made a call for warrants, which will bo dono when the new bond of Treasurer Koutsky is approved. It is cxpectcxl that .Mr. Koutsky's bond will come up for consideration by tho Board of Education Monday night. From present indications tho bond, which is given by n Burety company, will bo nccrptcd and ap proved bv tho board without further pnr ley. This will place the treasurer In a po sition whero ho can l3ue a call for about $j(l,000 In warrants and put a stop to the heavy Interest now being paid. j IHteiitllim Wnler Mnlim.
