This is one of the best evidences of in- Teased business activity. It is still a little too early in the sea eon to see with Dr. Hammond that ice water in the stomach is more harmful than coals of fire. About December that will be easier to feel. The trouble between Costa Rica and Nicaragua is likely to embarrass opera tions upon the proposed canal. Invest ments are pretty certain to be checked if there are disturbed political condi tions. A Kansas farmer proposes to marry any young woman who went through the flood at Johnstown, no doubt pre suming that she would be equal to the ordeal of matrimony in Kansas as a re sult of her discipline. .*». The county of Cullman, in Alabama, is one of those where the Democrats are accused of suppressing the nego vote. It appears, however, that out of a popu lation of 6,000 there are but fifteen col ored persons. Such counties are not frequent in any part of the South. ■■» The kangeroo in Australia is likely to disappear before the merciless hunters as the buffalo has in this country. It is a harmless animal, and its skin is in great demand in this country. It is pro posed to protect the animal by law in the interest of commerce and science. ««». Gladstone remarked in one of his recent speeches on his popular tour in England, "We are the first to tell other nations of their faults, but the last to listen to any one's advice." There Had been an impression of that sort before with some who had been observing and suggesting about English matters. «■» The Republicans will now look with vastly more favor upon the advances of "Wyoming since it elected more than two-thirds Republicans to its constitu tional convention the other day. The only danger is that the Republicans may discover that the Montana scheme is being worked. ■ A lettei: from Mr. Cleveland, read at the Tammany anniversary in New York, was received by an out burst of enthusiasm that had no parallel in that body during his presidency. He, is growing in popularity as there is more chance to size him up by the In diana man. The agitation of the prohibition ques tion is increasing in lowa and Kansas, and it is believed both states would vote out prohibition if they had a chance. This apprehension w'll cause the prohibitionists, who operate the Republican parly, to resist all at tempts to secure a new vote. But it is likely to cut a good deal of a figure in politics in those states. me If Dr. Brows Sequaud over in fiance has really discovered an elixir that will prolong life indefinitely, it should not be allowed to come in com mon use. Suppose these judges ap pointed for life, or Republicans in office under civil service with no cracks in the thing, should get hold of it, or Sul livan or Kii.rain— but fights to a fin ish would be indispensable then. There is, however, no immediate occasion for alarm. -•». It is said that Gen. Grant used to attend seances, and take a good deal of stock in spiritualism. He has recently responded to an inquiry through a me dium, for the best title for a new pub lication devoted to that line, and gave the name of Celestial City. The report that he has consented to act as reporter among the spirits is not fully credited. He had no experience in the newspaper business on this side, and would not be likely to venture now, whatever the compensation. tau Some of the Republican papers have discovered a scheme by which the Democrats are to steal the representa tion in congress, of the four new states. Mr. Brick has closed a contract with the railroads to deliver them to the Democrats. The editors write long edi torials with the gravity of owls, depre cating the success of the corrupt trans action. This i 3 probably why Dudley is to be sent out. It is unkind of the Democrats to put them to so much trouble. .q» The leading Republican" paper at Cleveland, (_)., responds to the carpers with most commendable spirit, that it is none of their business If the heads of bureaus and departments, do find cool places for their wives and daughters. It says they have a "clear light to ap point whom they please." and the wives and daughters arc competent, aud it Is j a good thing to have them in office, as it proves that "Republican officials have smart wives aud daughters who are not too proud to work." It is presumed of course that the capable male relatives have also been taken care of. The Ohio paper is undoubtedly right. Whenever a Republican official has female rela tives smart enough to fill offices, they should be had. The object is to keep them in the household, and make it pro fitable to have chances to hold things. HON. EDMUND RICE. When an upright man has lived out his lease of life, and yielded his spirit to Him who gave it, it is meet that we should pause to receive the lesson thus taught, and unite In paying a tribute to his virtues. If there ever was an honest man, Ed mund Rice was one. If there ever was an unselfish citizen who cheerfully su bordinated private interests to the pub lic good, Mr. Rice was the man. His integrity, consistency and devotion to what he considered correct principles won for him the respect of all men. It was impossible that a man of his genial nature and high character should fail to impress his individuality upon the com munity in which he lived. Mr. Rice was one of the pioneers of this city and state. He had not only witnessed the rapid growth of the com munity, but he had been active in pro moting that growth. lie was our pio neer railroad builder, and it is to his ef forts, perhaps, more than any other sin gle individual, we are indebted for that magnificent railroad system which is the pride of the Northwest, and which has been such a valuable contributor to our material advancement. In ways without number he aided in promoting other enterprises which redounded to the welfare of the city and the state he loved so well ; for there never was a time when his services were not cheer fully rendered when there was a chance to benefit the community. He was an unaffected and unostenta tious man. who asked no other reward for his public services than the con sciousness of doing good. Therefore, he was never an office seeker, nor greedy to become rich. His whole life was one of honest dealing and unselfish patriotism. The few political offices that he held were not of his own seek ing, but invariably came as a tribute to the man and as evidence of the high esteem in which he was held by the people among whom he had lived, and for whom he had labored. His career is now ended, and there is not a person in the state of Minnesota but will will ingly testify to his strict personal in tegrity and purity of character. As a citizen he was patriotic and useful, as a business man and a public official up right and faithful, and in every scene of the drama ot life the unpretending Christian gentleman. Edmund Rice's virtues are deeply impressed upon the hearts of those who knew him best, and long and tenderly will his memory ba cherished by the community in which he lived. "To live in the hearts we leave behind is not to die." -«*• PRIZE FIGHTING. Would it not be better to repeal the laws against prize fighting and to enact ' instead, laws*providing rules and regu lations for the government of the ring? This query is suggested by the utter failure of the civil authorities in the various states to enforce the laws against prize fighting, and by the fact that this failure is due to the force of that higher law known as public senti ment. There is a great big chunk of wisdom in Daniel Webster's remark: "You cannot repeal human nature." All effort to enforce laws that are in opposition to public sentiment is worse than idle; it is mischievous; for it is in that way lawlessness is encouraged and the seeds of anarchy are sown. The passion for prize fighting is just as strong in the breast of the Amer ican as the passion for bull fighting is in the breast of the Spaniard or as the love for bear-baiting and cock fighting is in the hearts of our British cousins. To eliminate either we must first repeal or reconstruct human na ture. Looking at facts as we find them, and bowing to the majority of the higher law, we venture the suggestion that the best thing the American states can now do is to make prize fighting respectable. If we arc to have it in spite of the laws and in defiance of the power of state machinery, then let us raise it above the control of the thugs and the rougher classes of society, and give it some of the elements of gentility possessed by the old gladiatorial contests in the days of ancient Koine, or the Olympic games in the times of ancient Greece. The next time that Prof. Sullivan and Col. i Jviluain have a mill, let the four governors of Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama and Texas act as a committee of arrangements, and let invitations be issued to the presi dent and members of his cabinet to be present and act as referees. The foreign diplomatic corps, the members of the two houses of congress, and the judges of the supreme court should occupy the $15 seats in the grand stand. A sepa rate gallery should be provided for ladies and their escorts, and thus an eclat be given to the entertainment that would make it respectable for anybody to witness a sport that everybody is dying to see. The field marshal should be provided with a copy of the statutes regulating prize fights, and which could be made an improvement upon the codes published by the Marquis of Queensberry or the London prize ring, in that they should require each com batant to toe the mark when time is called, and prohibit him from receding from the mark when toed, unless he is knocked back. In this way a fair, square stand up fight could be secured, and which would really be a novelty in this day and generation. And then when the victor won the diamond belt he would have the privilege of the knight errant in the tourney of conferring his badge of championship upon some lovely fe male spectator, and not be com pelled to sneak oil home by a circu itous route as Sullivan and Kileain had to do. When the prize ring is thus elevated to the plane of respectability, Yale, Harvard and other leading colleges will establish chairs of physical culture ami .sinecure snaps be provided for re tired pugilists. There Is nothing vio lent in these suggestions, because al- i ready the American people are mani-. I festing more interest in what took place on Richburg field, than they are in procp ctive European wars, the or ganization of the next congress, or the extension of mission work among the heathen.

JULY 12, 1889. than all the convicted murderers put together. There is no mistaking the direction of public sentiment in this country. ROYALTY'S VACATION. Attention lias been diverted by the first duet in the South from more pic turesque and important figures. There is baby McKee, at its summer outing— lias stirred the Eastern mind with some infantile precocity not now recalled; Prince Russell has safely been trans mitted to the old world, and the shah has been posing grotesquely in England. He is proving one of the most amusing visitors, and in attire at least, the most brilliant the British people have had for a long time. He doesn't suggest at all in speech or action that wise men now come from the East as in the ancient time, but he is as gorgeous as a peacock in his million dollars' worth of gems. At the big dinners and free lunches set up for him he does not eat or drink, but squats and smiles, and probably avoids the dyspepsia or any danger of rolling under the table. He is a real curiosity and affords the people as much fun as a circus. Still it costs enormously to run him, and England can't afford to let him get out of humor. He is probably brighter than he looks and will make, his trip profitable. .rv.-H ■■•» WHO DID IT? If the impressions recently derived from an observer of the generous tillage in the field of North Dakota politics are correct, gratitude should be an in fluential factor in popular results and misapprehensions should he rectified. The theory that Congressman Spring er, Cox or other high influences at Washington had any important function in the way of mediation or composing the obstacles that stood in the way of admission, is found to be an error, except so far as they were the agents to carry out the suggestions coining to them. As it is now explained in Dak ota "a grand old man" did all the devising and formulating that led to the benificcnt results. The labor was vol untary, unrequited and philanthropic. Republics may be ungrateful, but the indications are that the people recog nize their benefactors aud will not wait for the monument period before allow ing their gratitude to materialize. -•" ALLEN'S JEOPARDY. It looks as if Gen. Allen was already beginning to realize that the duet that has arranged to take the seats in the senate from North Dakota was not at all particular that he should be awarded the governorship, if he did generously step out of their way to the senate. But the general should not allow any little personal grievance to mar his en thusiasm at the magnanimity that is to provide the new state with such dis tinguished representation in the senate, without putting the people to inconven ience or annoyance. The executive position can be filled with much less difficulty, as it does not require the order of statesmanship and the im posing presence desirable in the more decorous branch of the national legis lature. Allen should not jeopardize the larger result by insisting upon good faith or personal claims. «-*, EXPOSITION OP 1892. The impression seems to be general that New York city, rather than Wash ington, is the place for the exposition in 1892 of all the American countries. Even Philadelphia acquiesces in this view. New York is the first city in population and commerce and the natural center for the continents, and even Chicago will hardly question this view as likely to be correct three years later. It is insisted, however, that New York shall send its 400 to the idiot asy lums and not have too much fooling round of its aldermen and peculiai statesmen. There were some little streaks worked into the centennial there that will not be needed in a more gen eral affair. There may be some difficul ty about a suitable site there, as the papers insist that the Central park shall not be used for the purpose. -*»■ PERSONAL AND SOCIAL.

Prominent People of Faribault United for Life. ■'- Special to the Globe. p Fakibatji/t, Minn«, July 11.— the Cathedral of Our Merciful Savior in this city at 2:30 o'clock this afternoon as sembled the largest audience that has •been the in the grand old cathedral for' many years. They came to witness the marriage of Benjamin Sheffield to Miss Carrie Crossett and Alsou Blodgett to Miss Fannie Sheffield. The cathedral-: had been beautifully decorated by the lady friends of the brides with cut flowers and potted plants, arranged with that artistic skill which made them appear as though they were fix tures placed there by the cunning hand of Nature to gladden the hearts of that happy gathering. Miss Fanny Sheffield is the only daughter of Hon. M. B. Sheffield, and Miss Carrie Crossett is the daughter of Hon. H. N. Crossett, all of this city. The young ladies are daughters of St. Mary's hall, and prom inent in society circles of this city. Ben jamin B. Sheffield is an only son of Hon. M. B. Sheffield, and Alson Blodgett is a son of Hon. A. Blodgett, of this city. The young men are graduates of Shat tuck school, and are actively engaged in business in the city. The ceremonies were solemnized by Rev. James Dob bin, assisted by Rev. Edwin C. Bill. Mrs. H. E. Whitney presided at the or gan. The brides wore traveling suits of a delicate tan, with hats and gloves to match. At the close of the ceremo nies Rt. Rev. H. B. Whipple pronounced the benediction, and Mr. and Mrs. Shef field and Mr. and Mrs. Blodgett pro ceeded directly to the depot and started on their wedding tours. Mr. and Mrs. Sheffield will make the tour of the lakes, going by way of Old Orchard, Me., where they will spend a few days, to New York city. Mr. and Mrs. Blodgett will go direct to Europe, where they will travel for a number of months, viewing the sights of the Old World. All the parties will eventually return to Faribault, which will be their home. Never in the history of the city has there been such a display of ele gant and costly presents as were re ceived by the happy quartette. The ushers at the cathedral were Messrs. Noel Gale, P. W. Barton, George Pease and A. F. Kinsman. ~«»- . VETERANS ARE WRATHY. Department Commanders Boy cott the National Encampment, G. A. R. Chicago, July 11.— The celebrated G. A. R. circular against the railroads was formulated to day, and will be officially promulgated to-morrow. The circular recites the fact that a rate of one cent per mile or less has recently been granted to other organizations, and states that the refusal of the railroads to give this rate to veterans of the late war is an unjust discrimination against the G. A. R. Concurrently, the; department commanders of several states request all comrades "As a matter of self respect and self de fense, and out of love for the order, to forego tie anticipated pleasure of meeting their comrades at the national encampment^ by remaining at home; only those attending who were duly elected delegates or ex-omcio , members of the encampment." The circular concludes by recom mending the organization of county and district reunions throughout the various . departments in order that every old soldier may be given an opportunity to meet his comrades around the camp fire in gladsome reunion. „NO ACTION TAKEN.

A commit tee on irrigation, to consist of eleven memDers, was ordered appointed. A resolution was introduced by Mr. Choteau, providing that: There shall be no new counties established unless the assessed valuation within the I limits or boundaries described for the pro | posed county shall be $3,000,000 or more. No territory shall be taken from any county which would leave the said county with less than $4, OCO.OOO assessed property." Eaton introduced a compulsory edu cation resolution; also a resolution pro viding that no child undei fourteen years of age shall by any corporation or person be employed in either mines or manufactories in this state. By Burns and Clarke: That the subject of irrigation is of para mount interest to the state of Montana: oue which deserves the serious consideration of this convention, as on It depends in a great measure the future prosperity ofthe agricult ural Interests of this slate, 'in view of this fact, the following articles should obtain place in this constitution: The legislature shall provide for the construction and main tenance of a system of irrigation by canals and ditches in this state ; said canals and ditches to belong forever to the state, and re main forever under its control. Byßickard, of Silver Bow: That the legislative assembly shall have no power to make an appropriation for any purpose whatever for a longer period than two years. The following strong anti-Chinese resolution was introduced by Joy, of Park : No corporation now existing or hereafter formed under the laws of the state shall, after the adoption oi this constitution, em ploy directly or iudirectly, in any capacity, any Chinese or Mongolians. The legislature shall pass such laws as mRy be necessary to enforce this provision. No Chinese shall be employed on any state, municipal or other public work within this state, except as a punishment for crime. The legislature shall discourage by all means within its power the immigration to this state of all foreigners in eligible to become citizens of the United States. All contracts for Chinese coolie labor to be performed in the state shall be void. All companies or corporations of such labor shall be punished by such fines and penalties as the legislature may prescribe. The legislature shall delegate all necessary power to incorporated cities and towns of the state for the removal of Chinese without the limits of such cities and towns, or for their location within prescribed portions of those limits. The following offered by Maginuis, Lewis and Clarke was referred to the committee on irrigation, to be included in the memorial to be dratted and sent to the congress of the United States: Whereas, The government of the United States has customarily granted to new states all swamp lands within their boundaries: and Whereas, The quantity of such land in the state of Montana would be very limited and of little value, and the government should deal as liberally with this Btate as with our predecessors: Resolved, That in lieu of swamp lands the government should grant the state of Mon tana arid lauds within its boundaries, on ; such conditions as may provide that the ; value of such lands shall De devoted to the purposes of construotiu? and maintaining reservoirs, agencies, ditches and other modes .of rcclaimiug the same by irrigation, and mulling them productive and valuable. The convention then adjourned till 4 o'clock next Monday afternoon. Many members will visit Great Falls to-mor row while a portion will remain and at tend committee work. BILL CHANDLERS' TIP. He Urges North Dakota to Fight Hard for Supremacy in the New State. Bismarck, Dak., July 3.— The omni bus bill made no regular provision for a stenographer, but on the understanding that such an expense would in all probability be allowed by the general government, and for the reason that verbatim reports of all debates will aid in the interpretation of the constitution by the courts, R. M. Tuttle, of Mandan, will officiate in that capacity during the sessions of the constitutional conven tion. West Superior, Wis., formally in vited the convention, as a body, to at tend the National Waterways' conven tion to be held in that city on Aug. 6, and the invitation was referred to a special committee of five. The* stand ing committees of the convention were then announced by the president. There are twenty-three committees, of which the Democrats receive the chairmanship of three— that of the com mittee on judiciary being given to Judge John E. Carland, of Bismarck; A. F. Appleton, of Crystal, being chair man of the committee on county and township organization, while VV. E. Purcell, of Wahpeton, will preside over that committee which has "miscellan eous" matters for its consideration. The Republican committee chairmen are as follows: Printing, Roger Allen, of Grafton; reporting and publication, J. F. Selby, Hillsboro; accounts and ex penses, O. G. Meacham, of Carrington; preamble and bill of rights, R. N. Stev ens, of Lisbon; legislative department, E. A. Williams, of Bismarck; executive department, W. H. Rowe. of Monango; executive franchise, A. S. Parsons, of Mandan : education. J. S. McKenzie, of Milnor; public institutions and build ings, 11. F. Miller, of Fargo: public debt and public works, E. S. Wallace, of Hope: militia, P. McHugh, of Lang don ; apportionment and representation, Andrew Slotten, of Wahpeton ; revenue and taxation, J. L. Cotton, of Burling ton; municipal corporations, R. Bori nett, of Grand Forks; corporations other than municipal, W. N. Johnson, of Lacota; schedule, W. S. Lauder, of Wahpeton; school and public lands, P. M. Clark, of Newßockford; tem perance, A. P. Hagen. ot Reynolds; revision and adjustment, David Bart let, of Cooperstown; impeachment and removal from office, Ezra Turner, of Bottineau; of the committee to con sider subjects relating to corporations other than municipal in the above, Mr. Johnson, chairman; and it is worthy ot notice that he is classed as prominent among the so-called anti-railroad people. He promised perfect justice to all corporations. The chairman of the committee on temper auce, A. P. Hugen, is pronounced in favor of constitutional prohibition and his committee is also of the same view on that subject. It is probable that this question will be submitted to a vote of the people in the form of an amend ment to the coustitution. By request of the convention, Gov. Mellette deliv ered an address, in the course of which he emphatically denounced the FRAUDS OX THE BALLOT in modern times and urged attention to keeping it pure here, and the man who buys, as well as he who sells a vote, should be made to suffer to the fullest extent. He incliVsed the secret ballot, and hearty apj'livuse from all the dele gates gave good indication of the feel ing in that connection. r ßbe governor looked for much good work by the con vention, and, although his own nome was in the new state of South Dakota, he was with the other sister in the spirit of progress, and expected that the Dakotas would work together for the good of both at home, as well as at the national capital. Mr. Purce.ll called attention to the reported Inaccuracy of the boundary line be tween North and South Dakota, and moved that the joint commission of the two sections be authorized to effect a temporary agreement regarding that line, which motion was made a special order for to-morrow. Rev. It. C Wiiey, of the National Reform association, by request addressed the convention in favor of the incorporation in the bill of rights of the new constitution of a rec ognition of the civil Sabbath and of the Almighty Ruler and Savior of the Uni verse. After adopting a motion confer ring upon the chairman ofthe committee on militia of the title colonel. The convention adjourned until to-morrow afternoon. The political pot still boils merrily, but no prediction as to candi dates for all the offices would predict accurately. Both parties are antici pating a lively campaign. This after noon Gen. Harrison Allen, the chair man of the Republican committee for North Dakota.received a telegram from W. E. Chandler at Washington. The importance of making certainty more certain in the fight for Republican su premacy in the new stale, by pitching the fight all along the line, was sug gested in the dispatteu. BEN WON'T DO IT. South Dakotans Petition the President to Suspend Mineral Entries Upon School Lands. Sioux Falls, Dak, July 11.— The eighth day session of the South Dakota constitutional convention was marked by another spirited debate. It had been proposed to memoralize the president to suspend mineral entries upon school lands near large cities in agricultural districts until the state is organized and can defend its rights thereto, in case such entries are attempted, to obtain such land fraudulently. Strong opposi tion was offered, on the ground that the ordinary operation of the law is suf ficient to prevent such fraud, and that to ask the president to suspend an en tire class of entries was equivalent to petitioning him to do the same thing that resulted in so much criticism of ex-commissioner Sparks. Jt was fur ther opposed on the ground that even if parties obtained possession of school lands under cover of mineral land laws, and such lands shall prove non-mineral, the title thereof could ultimately revert to the public, and thereof no loss be sustained. Despite these considera tions, however, the memorial was adop ted by a vote of 32 to 28. All opposition to the reference of every part of the constitution of 1885 to appropriate com mittees was withdrawn notwithstand ing the strong objections of the day previous. There is no intention of going outside the strict limitations of the enabling act. It was generally ex pected that this matter would result in a protracted debate. An examination of the enrolled copy of the old constitution shows a large num ber of errors in construc tion ana punctuation. These will be corrected, and the document has been referred to a committee for that pur pose. A petition was received from the Methodist Ministers' Association of Southeastern Dakota asking the con vention to provide safeguards for hon est elections in the constitution, and also that the vote on state offices and temporary location of the state capitol be taken "at a different time than that of the constitution, when every effort will be made to guarantee an honest elec tion. It is not likely more than one will be ordered. The work of the conven tion shows that, while a large majority of the members are new and without reputation in public affairs, the readi ness and breadth of a considerable por tion makes the body average very high. The proceedings are characterized by a tone which is certainly very creditable to the convention and commonwealth. ONLY ONE TRUE LINE. The Squabble Over Seventh Standard Parallels Amounts to Nothing. Special to the Globe. Yaxktox, Dak., July 11.— The South Dakota constitutional convention is dis cussing the advisability of appointing a committee to act with a like committee of the North Dakota constitutional con vention to decide which of the two sev enth standard parallels shall be selected as the boundary line between the states of North and South Dakota. It is stated that within the limits of the Sisseton reservation there are laid down two sev enth standard parallels; that this condi tion is liable to create confusion and trouble. The seventh standard par allel, as far as perfected, was run by Yankton surveyors. Carl C. P. MeyeV had the first contract to produce the seventh standard eastward from the Minnesota boundary through the Sis seton reservation. Mr. Meyer made a blunder in his calculations through iu detinite figures iurnished by the sur veyor general of Minuesota, and located the seventh standard parallel two miles south of its proper position. After wards Meyer's survey was ignored, andM. T. Wooley and C. H. Bates went into the field and corrected his error by carrying up the Hues from the sixth standard parallel and correctly locnting the seventh standard parallel within the Sisseton reservation. Subse quently E. D. Palmer, of Yankton, took up the corrected line of the seventh standard and carried it westward to Uie Missouri river. The seventh standard parallel exists as one continuous line from the eastern bouudary of Dakota to the Missouri river, and is the only practicable boundary line, as it divides townships, sections and farms, and any departure from its course will place fragments of townships, sections and farms in each of two states. When this matter was under discussion last spring E. D. Palmer wrote the surveyor gen eral of Dakota for information, inclosing this letter. The surveyor general says: When the error of C. P. Meyers was finally discovered the Meyer system was newly pro jected from the Minnesota surveys by those excellent surveyors now among your neigh bors, Charles H. Bates and M. T. Nooley. Hence, so fur as the public land surveys are concerned, the seventh standard as continued by Mr. Reeves from the Minnesota surveys of l"B7<>. and subsequently run westward by Mr. Wooley in 1872, correcting the Merer error, and ny yourself in 1874, Is not in any way affected by the Meyer surveys of 1875, or Mr. Barrett's reservation surveys of 1868 --69, but is in proper position, and in its ca pacity is a boundary line, will doubtless be continued over the reservation in due time. CAUSED A WILD WRANGLE. The Committee on Apportion ment Stirs Up the Olympia Convention. Special to the Globe. OLYMriA, W. T., July 11.— The com mittee on apportionment and repre sentation made its report to the conven tion to-day, favoring a legislative mem bership of only about one hundred, namely, 70 iv the liouse of representa tives and 35 in the senate. As might be expected, this report stirred up a wild wrangle. Tbe matter was widely discussed in the committee of the whole, and the convention got mixed up so badly on conflicting mo tions that when the committee arose it had no report, and the status of the legislative proposition is not known. The report o*f the representation com mittee will probably be presented and taken up again to-morrow. The convention will adopt the system of judiciary now in vogue in California. It comprises a supreme court, superior court and inferior courts per forming police and petty functions. The Superior court will be a court of record, and will combine the provinces of the present district and probate courts. There will be seventeen judges i altogether, two each iv King, Pierce and Spokane counties, and one in Kititas, Walla Walla and White man and others in districts made up of the remainder of counties. The supreme court will consist of three or five judges, whose terms shall be six years each. To-day was taken up in hearing propositions for clauses to the constitution. Preamble and bill of rights were introduced by Weir of Port Townsend. The innovation proposed in bill of rights is that grand juries shall consist of fifteen members and that twelve can return indictment. In civil cases, nine out of twelve jurymen can return a verdict. Kinn c ard, iof King, introduced a proposition that that part of the tide lands neces sary for the construction of streets be donated to cities or towns. Buchanan, of Whitman, wants a railroad commis sion established.and Turner.of Spokane; introduced a resolution fora mechanics' lien law, and one providing that no part of the state funds be devoted to sectarian purposes. These propositions with many others were referred to the proper com mittees, sessions now begin at 1:30 in the afternoon, but it is probable they will be changed to 9 in the morning that the various committees may have ses sions in the afternoon. VICTORY FOR THE OMAHA. Two Suits Involving Big Money Decided in Its Favor. Special to the Globe. Madison, Wis., July 11.— A telegram received from Washington by the attor neys of the Chicago. St. Paul, Minneap olis & Omaha Railroad company says that Justice Harlan has dismissed the complaint and decree for the defendant company in the suit brought against it by the Farmers' Loan and Trust com pany of New York. The case of Mrs. Sarah Angel, of Chicago, against the Omaha road was likewise directed in favor of the defendant. About $1,500,000 were involved in the cases. Many years ago the Trust company floated bonds to the amount of §1,000,00 for the Portage & Superior railroad company, which afterwards collapsed. An enormous land grant which it had previously received was afterwards transferred to the Omaha road, through the efforts of United States Senator John C. Spooner, then solicitor for the road. The suit was brought by the trust company to obtain a lien on the land grant— to secure the payment of the amount due it from the defunct company. Mrs. Angel is the widow of a contractor who was at work grading the Portage & Superior line when the company went under. lie sued to re cover the money due him, but, dying suddenly, his widow continued the liti gation, and was awarded $350,000 by the district court here, which amount was subsequently reduced to $25,000. Mrs. Angel then sought to make the judg ment a lien on the Omaha road. NEWALD'S KNAVERY. Computed From a Pecuniary Standpoint It Will Amount to a Fortune. Special to the Globe. Chippewa Falls, Wis., July 11.— It has been definitely learned here to-day that the defalcations of L. J. Newald, the missing horseman and politician, will amount to between $20,000 and $25, --000. This does not include the amount he secured from the Milwaukee banks by fictitious notes. Relatives ot New aid are in the city endeavoring to settle with his creditors for 50 cents on the dollar, but it is doubtful if a settlement can be effected upon this basis. War rants were issued to-day for Newald's arrest, and placed in the hands of the sheriff of this county. It has leaked out that Pinkerton detectives have been engaged by parties from whom he ob tained money by forgery, to track him. Newald was chairman of the Demo cratic national committee, and also of the Democratic county committee up to the time he skipped. GENEROUS RAILROADERS. Northern Pacific Employes Raise a Fund for the Widow of Supt. Root. Special to the Globe. Jamkstown, Dak., July 11.— D. Root, assistant general superintendent of the western division of the Northern Pacific road, was accidentally killed in Montana last winter. Shoitly after his death the employes of the road began to raise a fund among themselves for the benefit of his widow. The commit tee having the matter in charge reports that on July 1 the fund had reached the gratifying amount of $8,496.06. Of this sum 12,000 has been invested in a house for Mrs. Root at Brainerd, and the re mainder will be converted into good securities and turned over to her in a few days. ST. PAUL IS AHEAD. But La Crosse May Get the Luth eran College. Special to the Globe. La Crosse, Wis., July 11.— com mittee of Norwegian pastors and lay men to relocate their college have been unable to reach a decision thus far, al though they were in session all day with closed doors, It is understood St. Paul leads in voting, but La Crosse is the second choice of a considerable major ity and the result is as much in doubt as before the ballot was taken. This city offers $25,000 cash and twenty acres of land worth $1,000 per acre with vari ous contingent advantages, such as ex tension of water mains" to the site, ex tension of street car lines, railroad sta tion adjacent, etc. •32sculapiaiia Elect Officers.

D., July — Louis Charrier, who absconded with about $1,000 of the American Express com pany's money from Calumet. Mich., July 5, was captured to-day by the deputy sheriff and the company's agent at this place. He had returned nearly all the money taken, and was taken to St. Paul to-day by the sheriff. Business and Pleasure Combined. Special to the Globe. Duluth, July 11.— The State Dental association is having a good deal of fun besides getting away with considerable business of importance to the profes sion. To-day was given up largely to reading papers, followed this evening by a lecture by Dr. A. C. Hunt, of the state university of lowa, on "Dental Art." The session will close to-morrow. Good for Growing Crops. Special to the Globe. Yankton, S. D., July 11.— A heavy rain occurred here to-night, greatly benefiting crops. Small grain is being cut and a fair yield is the result.

INCIDENTS OF THE CAMP, The Scoros Hade by Members of Coo pany D— General News From the Front Special to the Globe Camp Lakevieat, July Another beautiful day was appreciated by the soldiers to-day, though it was somewhat warmer than yesterday. But thirty-six hours' camp life has toughened them up wonderfully, and there was very little "ennui" or disability when the call for baitalion was sounded at 8:30 this morn ing. It was hard work for the officers, and Capt. Bronson, officer of the day, particularly, to get the boys into their quarters last night. "Supremely beautiful!," "en chanting,'' "romantically interesting," and all the other chestnutty phrases in dnleed in on similar occasions would fail to convey an idea of the effect of a nearly full moon lighting up Camp Lakeview. It proved entirely too at tractive for strict discipline. There may have been other and more seduc tive attractions, but the soldier with poetry in his soul and nothing more effective than lemonade on his stomach might well imagine that the moon was responsible for every breach of military propriety heard from, during the evening. The officer of the day stalked majestically through the company streets at midnight, and they were cleared with magical quickness. An impressive stillness would ensue of several long, long minutes, broken only by the ghostly whistle of the whip poor-will IN THE BRUSH that has been on duty every night of the camp. When a gigantic firecracker would explode somewhere in the re motely adjacent stillness of the parade ground, and scurrying feet, excited voices, muffled profanity and other features that would dis turo the slumbers of the inno cent newspaper man. Ajnoment more and all would be as silent as death the whippoor-will would resume his little opera solo, and Morpheus once more have a show. But every man was up at the 5 o'clock reveille, except the few privileged officers, who may snooze in supreme indifference to the morning gun. The regular battalion drill assist ed that of the day previous to dissipate the horrors of that useful exercise. Tho "weather god" was not quite so pro pitious as the day before, but still, it was pleasant, and the schooling to officers and men made it vastly beneficial. A few men in each company seemed, accord ing to Col. Bend's idea, to need a little drilling in the manual of arms, and ho ordered the respective commanders to take their companies out for a private rehearsal with the guns. This was hu miliating to the officers of the gallant First, but it was necessary. The band made the latter part of the battalion drill more interesting by playing a medley of sacred music that was dell ! cious in itself. In the camp of the First battalion, when on the batteries and cavalry troop, the usual routine waa carried out. Their quarters are now one of the attractive points for visitors. Adjt.-Gen. Mullen REVIEWED THE KI'OIMKNT and battalion this evening at dress parade. The movements were splend idly executed, every company wheeling much better than in the review of last evening. The first battalion was next reviewed, and guard-mount executed. Major Hawley ordered the guard back twice before it was done in a satisfac tory manner. The major was compli mented on the condition of his command. The day at the range was occupied by I) with its first score and the other com panies in completing theirs at 100 and . 300 yards. A number used the 200-yard range, but no scores were completed. To-morrow the most important scores at the 200 and 500-yard ranges will be shot. . These will decide the real progress made since last year. Company F bids rah- to better its splendid record of last camp. A full dress reception and ball was given this evening by the citizens of Lake City to the regiment, battalion and Adjt. Gen. Mullen. Most of the officers and a large number of the men attended, and enjoyed a pleasant even ing. Will's orchestra furnished the dance music.and Kingwatd's the concert music. The affair was equal in all re spects to any of the numerous recep tions extended the National Guard in the past year. compant d's SCORJC. 100 300 100 300 Yds. Yds Yds. Yd* Capt.

Pork Packers Discover '1 hat Their Employes are Systematic Thieves. Kansas City, Mo.. July 11.— George Fowler & Son, the packers, discovered to-day the fact that for two years past they have been the victims of a system atic scheme of robbery practiced upon them by certain employes in their re tail department. Their total loss they cannot place in exact figures, but they estimate it at between $7,000 and $10,« 000. The plan was thus: The em ployes who had charge of the delivers of local erders loaded on the wagons more than the orders called for and dis posed of the surplus at private sales, pocketing the proceeds. Six arrests were made to-day of persons connected with the robbery. BKEADSTIiFFS BURNED. Fire Destroys the Diamond Roller Mill at Lake Crystal. Lake Crystal, Minn., July 11.— The Diamond roller mill caught fire at s:3o o'clock this evening, and burned to the ground with its contents, except" ing a little flour that was in sacks. McCartiu, Knutson & Co. had it leased and were running it very successfully. They had just received an order for a car of flour, and Mr. Knutson was away buying wheat when the fire occurred. It caught in the cupola and destroyed the mill inside of an hour. It was built in 1883. the estimate cost was about $8,000. No insurance. -^»»- Selecting Medical Talent. Special to the Globe.
