AFTERNOON SESSION.
Convention resumed at 2 o'clock.
Bickford sent the following resolution
and a clipping from the Helena Journal,
which he said reflected upon the members
from Missoula county:
"When as, The privileges of the floor of
this convention have been accorded the
Helena Journal with other papers of the
Territory lor the purpose of reporting the
proceedings of the convention, and
Whereas, The said privilege has been
abused by the said Helena Journal, in that
lertam articles have been published in said
paper reflecting on the integrity of certain
members of this convention and impugning
the motives of certain members in casting
their votes.
Resolved, That the said Helena Journal
be excluded from this hall and its repre
sentatives excluded from the floor of the

mittee of the whole on proposition No. 18,
the capital clause, Hershfield in the chair.
J. K. Toole started the oratorical ball
rolling by making a speech for Helena.
Judge Dixon followed with an address
on the legal points involved and made a
strong plea for Butte.
Whitehil! said no matter where the capital
was located the people of Anaconda would
vote lor the constitution.
Judge Knowles made a hitter attack on
Helena and advocated the removal of the
capital.
Middleton thenght there was no reason tor
removing the capital. Let it stay where it
is until the people could vote upon the
question.
Gibson thought the question should be
settled now and wanted to see the tempo
rary capital remain at Helena.
Robinson admired Helena, but thought
the people's representatives who assembled
at the capital should not be subjected to
the presure they always are placed under
in Helena. He favored submitting the
question to the people at an early date.
Goddard said no particular city had any
claim lo the capital, but he favored its re
tention at Helena for the present.
Collins' amendment, that the legislature
shall provide for locating the permanent
seat of government at the second general
electioa after the adoption of the constitu
tion, was put and lost.
J. R. Toole moved that section 2 be
adopted. The motion was put and lost
ayes 30, noes 37.

^ Hartman moved to add to the provtso
that Bozeman shall be the temporary

sary to determine the location.
Warren moved to adopt Section 2 as
amended. Carried.
Rickards moved that when the commit
tee rise t report back Proposition No. 18

report. Pending the report the convention
took a recess for ten miDntes.

Kennedy moved to lay the motion upon
the table/ The motion was lost.
Middleton withdrew his motion, and the
am* ndment of Maginnis to strike ont the
provit-o making Missoula the temporary
capital was put.
Fx-Goveruor Carpenter took the floor in
support of the motion and made a clear,
convincing argument to the effect that a
proviso naming the seat of government was
unnecessary in the constitution. Hesaidthat
as the enabling act of congress provided
that all laws in force in the Territory at
the time of the adoption of the constitu
tion should be continued in effect as the
laws of the State until the State legisla
ture could form a new code, and as one of
these laws proclaimed Helena the capital,
Helena would necessarily be the capital
until that law was changed. He then spoke
of the advantages of Helena for the capi
tal and took his seat amid great applause
' Judge Luce took a different view He
said unless the c° n ^ io " Da " e f
capital the State would be without a capi
tal until the question was voted upon by
SÄ By viitoe oj the 1.« qjoted

capital. If it was right for that conve
tion why could not this convention do the
same.
Because, said Hershfield, that convention
Congress
J. K. Toole said he wanted every mem
ber to understand that the effect of strik
was not held under an enabling act passed by
I
ing out the proviso would be to leave the
temporary capital at Helena, and in fact ;
that was the motive prompting the motion,
Under the ordinance which woold be
adopted as the last part of the constitution
the laws of the Territory could be made
operative in the State.
The amendment of Maginnis, to strike

then declared lost by the following vote:

The convention then adjourned.
Thirty-sixth Day-August 8 .
MORNING SESSION.
Convention met at 10 o'clock, pursuant
to adjournment, President in the chair.
Bullard was excused for the day.
Rickards said he had learned that
Durfee had met with an accident, and
moved leave of absence be granted him
until he was able to appear again. Granted.
Knowles, chairman of special committee,
having in charge Bickford's resolution re
lating to expelling Journal reporters from
the convention, asked for farther time in
which to report. Granted.
Parberry introduced a substitute for
Section 2 of Proposition 18—the capital
question—but it was withdrawn tem
porarily, precedence being given to resolu
tions for incorporation in the constitution.
When unliuished business was reached
Parberry again presented his substitue, as
follows:
Strike out sections 2 and 4 and insert in
lieu there f the following: The legisla
tive assembly shall have no power to
change or locate the seat ot government of the
State, but shall at its second regular session
after the adoption of the constittition pro
vide by law for submitting the question of
the permanent location ot the seat of gov
* rnment to the qualified electors of the
State at a special election in October next
ensuing, and a majority of all the votes
upon said question cast at said election
shall be necessary to determine the loca
tion thereof. Said legislative assembly
shall also provide that, in case there shall
be no choice of location at said election,
the question of choice between the two
places for which the higt^st number ot
votes shall have been cist shall be sub
mitted in like manner to the qualified
electors of the State at the next general
election; and until the permanent seat of
government shall have been decided the
temporary location thereof shall be and re
main at the present seat of government of
the Territory, but no liability shall be in
curred by the State for the purchase or
erection of any buildings for temporary
legislative purposes, nor shall the legisla
tive assembly make any appropriations or
expenditures for capital buildings or
grounds until the seat of government shall
have been permanently located as herein
provided.
Toole, J. K , moved its adoption.
Wahren moved as an amendment to iay
on the table, but withdrew his motion and
moved further consideration be indefinite
ly postponed.
Parberry said he was not present during
some of the debate yesterday, and thought
they had moved the government wagen
around long enough. It was time to call a
halt, and if there was no other way he was
in favor of running it into a mud hole and
letting it stay. In his judgment Helena
was the right and only place for the capital
temporarily. He had not questioned the
delegates from Lewis and Clarke on this
subject aDd had raked none of them for
advice. The convention could not vote
directly on the ques ion. The capital had
been to Bozeman bnt it could not be left
there. It was like the drunken man who
came home late at night, and when asked
by his wife why he didn't come to bed, an
swered: "Hie, wait till I come around
again." [Laughter and applause]. Bozeman
was waiting for it to come around aeaiD.
Yesterday cost $500—q uite an expensive
bill of fare—and I hope we will get down
to business and decide this question to-day.
[Applause].
Knowles said, according to the substitute,
the legislature could not rent any buildiDg
to meet in and would have to camp out on
the prairie, and asked for the reading of
that part touching on the subject in ques
tion. , .
J K. Toole moved to strike ont that part
touching the subject of rental of buildiDgs
Bickford moved to strike out the words
or rental". Amendment was accepted by
Toole.
J. R. Toole offered as an amendment to
strike out the word "Helena" and insert in
lien thereof the word "Aiaconda."
Collins moved to postpone further con
sideration of the question until Monday.
Warren said that as the dispute had be
gun let it be carried through. There was
a sentiment in the convention and among
the people to change the capital and he
thought the business onght to be got
through with.
J. R. Toole fully agreed with the gentle
man from Bilvor Bow. The proposed loca
tion of the capital was only temporary and
he wanted to know if it should not be de
cided to day.
Bickford said be had no thought of steps
being taken to move the capital from the
present location, and if the will of the peo
ple could be expressed by a vote Helena
would probably remain the temporary
capital until changed. Bat now several other
towns had been brought up for the capital
and Helena was defeated and the town
of Missonla was chosen. Missoula has
over 4,000 inhabitants, has a floe location,
and the speaker wa9 sure if the capital was
placed temporarily in bis town it would be
taken care of, tor the time being at least.
It nas a plenty of pare water and the best
of hotel accommodations, and all the build
ings necessary tor the legislature and the
8npreme court to meet in. If it is decided
to place the capital at Missonla the conven
tion may reet assured that the citizens will
co operate in giving it welcome.
The speaker thought the convention
onght not to postpone or delay the matter
over till Monday. Let us proceed at once
to business, he said, and get through with
it. Futte and Anaconda^ have claims, bnt
Missoula never has asked for anything
from the Territory or the United States ex
cept the establishment of a military post
for protection against the Indians. It is a
modest claim. We have everything to offer
and would consider it a great honor to have
the capital in oar city.
J R. Toole's motion to substitute Ana
conda for Helena was lost by a vote of
ayes 34; noes 34; 6 pared and 1 absent
Warren moved to snbstitnte Great Falls
for Helena. Lost by a vote of ayes 26,
noes 42, 6 paired, 1 absent.
Goddard moved to substitute Billings
for Helena. Lost by a vote of ayes 27;
noes, 40
Luce moved to substitute Bozeman for
Helena. Carried by a vote of ayes, 36;
noes, 31, pared 6. absent 2
Knowles, Kohrs and several other mem
bers, who had voted no, changed their vote
m. me committee as
i of Maginnis, Bickford,
, President Clark to act
to aye.
Cooper moved as an amendment to adopt
the substitute as amended.
J. K. Toole moved to amend by striking
out a certain part, which provided where
the seat of government shall be located,
but before his amendment was presented
Hartman moved a recess until 2 o'clock,
which was carried.
AFTERNOON SESSION.
Convention resumed at 2 o'clock.
Hickman offered a resolution reciting
that whereas the Senate Committee on
Irrigation wonld be in the city to-day, the
members of that committee be invited to
attend the convention and be given the
privileges of the floor. The resolntion was
nnanimonslv adopted, when Bickford
moved the appointment of a special com
mittee of five, the President of the Council
to be its chairman and to name the other
four members, to receive the Senate Com
mittee and extend the courtesies of the con
vention to its members. This motion was
also adopted without dissent.
The amendment to the capital proposi
tion pending at the noon adjournment was
withdrawn, and a substitute offered to sec
tion 2 and 4., as follows:
"The legislative assembly shall have no
power to change or locate the Beat of gov
ernment of the state, bnt shall at its sec
ond regular session after the adoption of
this constitution provide by law for sub
mitting the question of the permanent lo
cation of the seat of government to the
qualified electors of the state at a special
election in October then next ensuing, and
a majority of all the votes upon said ques
tion cast at said election shall be necessary
to determine the location thereof. Saul
legislative assembly shall also provide that
in case there shall be no choice of location
at said election the question of choice be
tween the two places for which
the highest number of votes shall
have been cast shall be submitted
in like manner to the qualified
electors of the State at the next
general election, and until the perma
nent seat of government shall have been
located permanently the temporary
location shall be and remain at the present
seat of government of the Territory, bnt
do liability shall be incurred by the State
for the purchase or erection of any build
ing for temporary legislative purposes, nor
shall the legislative assembly make any
appropriations or expenditures for capital
buildings or grounds until the seat of gov
ernment shall have been located as herein
provided."
Toolle, of Deer Lodge, moved to amend
by making it the first legislative assembly
instead of the second to submit the capital
question. Amendment lost—ayes 30,
noes 41.
Myers moved to amend so that the vote
npon location of the capital would be taken
at a general instead of a special election as
provide^ in the substitute.
The amendment prevailed.
J. K. Toole offered an amendment strik
ing out that clause of the substitute which
designated Bozeman as the temporary cap
ital, and explained that the effect of the

the temporary seat of government where it
now is—Helena.

ed be adopted.
KaDonse moved to amend the section by
substituting the following: "After the
admission of the State into the Union and
at the general in the year 1892 the ques
tion of permanent location of the seat of
government is hereby provided to be sub
mitted to the qualified electors of the
State; and a majority of all the votes npon
said question shall determine the location
thereof. In case there shall be no choice
of location at said election, the question of
chice between the two places for which the
highest number of votes shall have been
cast, shall be and is hereby submitted in
like manner to the qualified electors at the
next general election therealter."
Warren moved to amend by adding the
following: "Provided that until the seat of
government shall be permanently located,
as herein provided, the temporory location
thereof shall be and remain section 2, town
ship 4, north of range 11 west of the prin

tute offered by the gentleman from

Thirty-Seventh Day-August 9.
morning session.
Convention was called to order at ten
o'clock. The usual order ot opening busi
ness was dispensed with and B ckford rose
and asked permission to withdraw his res
olntion relating to expelling ihe Journal
reporters and that an article of apologv
published in the Journal be read. He
thought it was a complete and tail retract
ion tor the article published some time ago
and asked unanimous permission to with
draw the said resolution.
J. K. Toole stated that the members of
the Senatorial Arid Lands committee were
in the building and offered the following
resolntion.
Whereas, The Senate committee to in
vestigate and report upon the arid lands of
the Northwest, composed of distinguished
gentlemen in public life, accompanied by
the directors of the Geologscal Survey

Thirty-Eighth Day--August 10.
MORNING SESSION.
Convention met at 10 o'clock pursuant to
adjournment.
A dispatch was received from the town
Stuart , which ran as follows:
President Constitutional Convention:—
*> hat is the matter with Stuart for per
manent capital ? Citizens getting wrathy
because no attention has been paid to them.
Please read to convention and oblige.
Board of Trade.
Telegram read and referred to committee
on irrigation.
When unfinished business was reached
proposition No. 35, relating to public lands,
was taken up.
Ramsdell thought the amendment pro
viding that land to a greater amount than
160 acres shall not be sold to any one party
or corporation was a good one and he was
in favor of it.
Luce believed there should be a market
for arid lands and that it should not be
limited.
Parberry thought it had been left to the
Legislature to govern this subject as it saw
fit. He was opposed to selling 160 acres to
one person for reasons that had been be
fore stated. If 160 acres of arid lands are
sold it mast be remembered it will be diffi
cult to irrigate it.
Hershfield was opposed to the amend
ment. He thought it should be sold to
any person and as mach as they want, pro
viding they can pay for it.
Burleigh was of the opinion that a man
coming here and wanting to settle should
have as much land as he coaid pay for.
While these lands are unsold they were
nntaxable and would not increase onr rev
enue, bnt as soon as sold they were tax
able.
Conrad thought the lands should not be
sold at a limit, and said a man who bought
160 acres with a water frontage virtually
owned the other 480 acres without buying
it. He agreed with Parberry on the sab
ject and was opposed to the amendment.
J. K. Toole thought that if this amount
of land was sold to any one party he
should be made to reside upon said land a
certain time, and offered an amendment.
Toole's amendment, as a proviso after
line 5, was read. It provides that a person
in case of default of payment after six
months shall forfeit said lands and they
shall be sold again.
Luce offered a substitute for Toole's
amendment.
Chessman said there was too much of
detail about this matter, as it completely
tied the bands of the legislature, and he
was opposed to any such amendment He
thought it ehonld be left to the legislative
body to make all the laws necessary to
cover the proposed sale of arid lands.
Collins thonght it shonld be referred to a
committee with instructions to carefully
examine the same and then to make
a report on the step proposed to
be taken. As far as he was
concerned he would move to strike ont all
of (Sections 1 and 2 except the lines which
provide that "all the public lands of the
State are held in trust for the people," etc.
J. K. Toole thought that the agricul
tural lands shonld go to the -ettler and
was in favor of leaving the wb le subject
to the legislature, bnt if there was to be
any action taken he thonght that the lands
should be occupied by actual settlers.
Lnce withdrew his snbstitnte and offered
another which was received and read.
Burleigh stated that the amendment
offered by the gentleman from Lewis &
Clarke did Dot go fat enough or went too
far, and said this snbject coaid be safely
left to the legislature to act npon.
Hershfield called attention of the con
vention to the last section of proposition
28, in which the matter had already been
provided for and the section adopted.
Witter thought the whole matter shonld
be left to the legislature.
Carpenter said the amendment and the
amendment to the amendment were very
nnwise, as they covered the same ground.
The limitation at 160 acres was absurd and
the ordinary man wonld starve. According
to the amendment it is very hard npon
the poor man. In case of a bard season he
woold he unable to make his first or sec
! <>nd payment, and there wonld be very few
çcteal settlers npon the land. He favored
leaving the matter to the legislature or
fixing the amonnt of land to be sold to one
person at 640 acres.
Lnce said when he offered his snbstitnte
he thonght it covered school lands, bnt
npon reading Section 9 of Proposition 28
he found it had already been provided for
and withdrew his amendment. The en
abling act provided that the legislature
was to act npon all snch lands as had been
placed tor settlement by the government
Callaway offered a snbstitnte for section
1, which was read.
J. K. Toole stated the gentleman from
Gallatin had misconstrued his meaning,
and that as it is provided this must be left
to the legislature to act npon he withdrew,
his amendment.
Callaway's amendment, or snbstitate,
was read, when it was announced that an
amendment by Judge Lnce yesterday had
been adopted covering the amendment
offered by Callaway.
Callaway was satisfied with the amend
ments ot Luce yesterday and withdrew his
amendment
Myers offered aa amendment to extend
the time lor selling tde alternate lots so
that the schoolla ids would have the use of
extent o''line and moved to strike ont
1895 ajd substitute in place 1915.
Amen tiiiem was lost by a vote of ayes
19, noes 22
Conrad moved to amend by extending it
to 1910, and stated be boped this wonld
prevail, and that the first lots shonld be
sold as soon as the legislature could act,
and thut the reserved lots be held off until
1910, so as to make their vaine greater.
Burleigh stated there was one objection,
and only one. Take the city of Missonla,
which is rapidly growing, and in this case
yon would put the reserve lots in snch a
way that they conld not improve or en
large their city.
Marshall said he was satisfied that valu
able leases aDd improvement conld be
made under the enabling act. He was Dot

SECOND You should read The Chica
nJtmWIWMf go Daily News because you
kxiiiv have the time to read it. There
/-///#¥ / ■ is a paper published in Australia
which is as large as a blanket.
This wouldn't suit you. You
want a newspaper at once con
venient, complete and con
densed, and still you don't want
to overlook anything of real
importance. You don't want
your neighbor to say to you,
" Did you read so-and-so in
to-day's paper? and be obliged
to answer, " No, I didn't sec
that," and then have him ask
you, " What paper do you
read ? " This will never hap
pen to you if you read Thh
Chicago Daily News.
Remember —Its circulation is 220,000 a day—over

1 am satisfied that Cancer Is hereditary In my fam
ily. My father died of it, a sister of my mother died
or it, and my own sister died of it. My feelings
may be imagined, then, when the horrible disease
made its appearance on my side. It was a malignant
Cancer, eating inwardly in such a way that it could
not be cut out. Numerous remedies were used for
it, but the Cancer grew steadily worse, until it seem
ta that I was doomed to follow the others of the
family. I took Swift's Siiecific, which, from the first
day. forced ont the poison, and continued its use
until I had taken Beveral bottles, when I found my
self well. I know that S. S. S. cured me.
