(Ired. 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

e South Omaha News .
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. It Is nsserted by eminent legal author
ity that tho warrants now outstanding for
buildings erected or Improvements made
cannot bo affected by the granting of tho
Injunction In the Hoctor case.
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.
