TO ADVERTISE SOUTH DAKOTA.
Business Men Will Appeal to Legisla
ture for Immigration Bureau.
Watertown , S. D. , Dec. 19. The
forthcoming session of the South Da
kota legislature will be called upon to
wrestle with the proposition to es
tablish a bureau ot Immigration that
shall be equipped to advertise the
state's resources and to show the ad
vantages It offers to the home-builder.
The last legislature took one small
step In that direction , having provided
for the appointment of a commissioner
of Immigration , but constituting him
also ex-offlelo secretary of the State
Fair association. The legislature fall ;
ed to appropriate more than a mere
bagatelle for carrying on the work of
the commissioner.
Not since the territorial days , when
P. F. McClure , now a banker at Pierre ,
was appointed commissioner of Immi
gration through the grace of a Demo
cratic governor , who , in turn , was se
lected by the president of the United
States , has there been any systematic
effort , so far as the state government
is concerned , to set forth the resources
of South Dakota. Several attempts
have been made to revive the office
and place It upon Its former plane ,
but , as a rule , these efforts have met
with strong opposition from the rural
members , who usually predominate in
number.
Because of the activity of real es
tate men and the commercial clubs of
the larger cities , plans have been ma
turing for besieging the legislature ,
which convenes next month. Already
many members-elect have been pledg
ed to suppoit a measure providing for
the bureau of immigration.

BANK DEPOSIT LAW.
Will Provide Permanent Fund of $100-
000 Immediate Payment of Claims.
Lincoln , Neb. , Dee. IS. In order to
defeat any organized effort of the
bankers of the state to socuie any
emasculation of the proposed law for
the guarantee of bank deposits , the
Democratic leaders have undertaken
to have drawn up for immediate pre
sentation to the legislature , after or
ganization , a bill that will be known
as the administration measure , and it
is intended to push this through with
out any amendment.
A computation is now being made
of tile losses to depositors through
the failure of banks in the state , be
diming with before the panic of 1893
and closing with the last statement
Upon this basis the assessment will
be fixed , the idea being to secure a
permanent fund approximating $100-
000 , available to satisfy all claims.
The bill will provide for the Imme
diate payment to depositors of the
amounts they have in a failed bank , ae
soon as they prove up their claims
This Is the point that hits the bankers.
They want payment deferred until the
receiver has found out how much the
assets fall short of meeting the
claims. Mr. Bryan and Governor Shal-
lenberger Insist that such a provision
would mean that the measure would
fall of its purpose , slnco such a law
tvoiihl not attract any hidden money
into the banks.

PENNSYLVANIA COAL SCARE.
Mining Expert Says Mich Supply Will
be Exhausted in 84 Years.
New York. Dec. 19. That the en
tire eoal supply of the Pennsylvania
coal Holds will be exhausted In eighty-
four years was the alarming predic
tion made by Prof. William Grllllth , a
mining expert and geologist of Sernu-
ton , Pa. , at the hearing of the govern
ment suit against the anthracite coal
carrying railroads for Illegal combina
tion In restraint of trade under the
provisions of the Sherman and ( runt
law. Prof. Griffith estimated the total
available supply of anthracite coal for
shipment In 1905 at 2.229,201.050 tons
and said at the present rate of con
sumption the supply would be used
up In 1992.
I'nder ' cross examination Prof. Grif
fith admitted that his estimate of the
supply of anthracite eoal still available
had not Included the probable yield of
the so-called semi-anthracite eoal Holds
of northern Pennsylvania. Thesio , he
judged , would cover a territory of
about 2,000 acres. In answer to fur
ther questions he gave it as his opln
Ion that only 50 per cent of the coal
in the regions mentioned bad been
mined and marketed.

Coliseum. The poor
creatures are unable to distinguish
between sun light and the rays of In

they are laying two eggs every twenty-
four hours.
Each lays an ogK some

HOT REPLY TO BRYAN.
Pennsylvania CoaToperator Tells Him
Why He Lost.
llVsburg. pa. , Deo. 19. William
J. Bryan's efforts to learn from his
friends in various parts of the coun
try what , In their minds , was re
sponsible for his recent defeat , met
with an unexpected response when he
addressed J. B. Corey of Miaddcck. n- .
wealthy coal operator and uncle of
William Rills Corey , president of the
fulled States Steel corporation. Mr
f'oiey previously had boon an admirer-
of Mr. Bryan , and hart boon a factor in
the democracy of Allegheny county
In his letter to Bryan ho said :
"I assign the cause of your defeat to
ihelnck of true patriotism. The means
used , to use a familiar figure m1
speech , was the refusal of intelligent
American voters to burn their hands u
second time on the same rodhot iron ,
that of electing hungry Democratic
ofllco-sookors to displace the Republi
can salary grabbers and treasury
looters. This , Mr. Bryan , strikes me
as perhaps the leading cause. To have
elected William J. Bryan in either of
Ills three candidacies , especially thci
'ast. would have been to jump out of
the frjlng pan Into the lire. Grer-d
' f olllce mid spoils were too great for
the patriotism of William J. Mryari
and his friends to nmko n sacrifice
* o save his country from an inevitable
and disgraceful failure
, hence your
defeat. "
