Bisjxakck, Dec. 18. —[Special]—The
prohibition bill now only awaits the sig­
nature of the governor to become a law.
In the senate this morning the long fight
over the bill ended in its passage. Nu­
merous amendments were offered and
about a dozen were carried. The main
one changes the time at which the law
is to bacome operative from May 1st,
to July 1st, 1890. The final vote on fche
bill was 23 ayes and 8 nays. Those vot­
ing nay, among whom were Senator
Fuller, wished the time extended until
January 1st, 'dl. In the house the sen­
ate amendments were concurred in by a
vote of 47 to 7. The seven negative votes
were cast by Messrs. Lntz, Milsted,
Moore, Murphy, Norton, Renaud and
Stadleman. Five of them are democrat^
Mr. Lutz said he had not heard the
senate amendments read and, not know­
ing what they were, voted against the
bill. Mr. Milsted said he was in favor
of making the law operative January 1st,
and for that reason and for th'e additional
reason that he did not know the effect or
purport of the senate amendments, he
voted against it.
Senator Fuller introduced a bill pro­
viding for an amendment to the constitu­
tion striking ont the prohibition clause.
This measure promises to be the cause of
a sharp fight. A good many members
of both houses are committed to Mr.
Fuller's idea.
Senator Worst has a strong bill against
pools and trusts. He wanls to make all
combinations formed to affect prices or
production a criminal conspiracy.
In the House.
The Fargo agricultural college bill
passed the house this afternoon after sev­
eral narrow escapes. The final vote was
36 to 18, but votes in the committee of
tho whole on propositions, snme of which
would have been almost fatal, were only
onb
or two apart. The bill authorizes
the issuance of 820.000 of bonds for con­
struction and pledges the land set apart
for the college, for the payment of the
same. Selby objected strenuously to
this provision and wanted it stricken
ouC but it stays in. The Traill county
orator and parliamentarian made several
good speeches in advocacy of his position
and maintained the provision was con­
trary to the constitution. A motion was
made to postpone until Jan. 8th, but
that too was voted down. In committee
of the whole,Ueland of LaMoure county,
offered an amendment to section ten,
providing that of the $15,000 appropri­
ated by congress for an experimental
station, $5,000 be set apart for the main­
tenance of a branch station at Edgeley.
Richard Sykes, the large English land
owner, has offered a section of his land
near that place for the purpose and
Ueland wanted the legislature to locate
a branch station there. Stevens made
an eloquent, and what should have prov­
en convincing, speech against Upland's
amendment. He called attention to the
fact that the congressional appropriation
will be expended under the direction of
the secretary of the interior and that a
Dakota legislature, although it can do
most anything, would hardly prove equal
to the job of taking the matter out of
the hands of the honorable secretary.
Stevens talk did not convince, however,
for tJeland's amendment was recom­
mended to pass by a vote of 28 to
Mr. Lntz stated clearly and concisely
the position of the opponents of tho
amendment when he said that he was
opposed to the location of a branch
station at
dresent.
"Let us first,"he said,
"establish tho Fargo college, and then if
it is found that a branch station is nec­
essary or desirable, let the nwct legisla­
ture or the succeeding one do so." He
said that in his opinion it was not in
accordance with sound business princi­
ples to divert from tho institution a
portion of the appropriation for the
maintenance of a branch station 100
miles distant.
"When the committee rose and report­
ed. Williams re-opened tbe tight on the
adoption of the report and the amend­
ment was finally killed, that part of tbe
report relating to it not being adopted.
The house committee on state affairs
recommended the passage of the senate
boiler inspector bill.
The house voted to take a recess when
it adjourns tomorrow night, to January
7th, and asked the concurrence of tbe
senate.
The Grand .1 nry Sy»t*in Mint c«t.
Probably no proposition which has
been presented to this legislature
has received the attention Trom
tbe outside that has been directed
to the resolution introduced by Repre
entalite Lutz, calling for an investiga­
tion into the question of the abolition of
the grand jury system. Tbe resolution,
it will be remembered, was referred to
tbe judiciary committee, and tbe world
has heard nothing of it since. Appreci­
ating the general interest in the qnes
tioo, your correspondent instituted an
investigation and finds that the reform
is nut deadbnt only sleeping. Mr. Selby,
a member of tbe judiciary committee,
to which the bill, went, has introduced a
bill, the passage of which will soon land
this expensive inquisitorial system in a
condition of innocuous desuetude. The
measure is House bill No. 77 with tbe
very conservative title, "An act for the
prosecution and trial of crimes and offen­
ses on information and to dispense with
the calling of grand jurors,except by order
of the district court judges." The bill has
had its first and socond readings and ha
been reported back from the judiciary
committee, with the recommendation that
it be amended by the insertion of the fol­
lowing emergency clause and that when
so amended the bill do pass:
Whereas an emergency exists in that
tbe constitution authorizing criminal
prosecutions by information, and there
being no provision of law carrying the
same into effect, and it being necessary
in order to save expense to the several
counties that this act take effect long be­
fore July 1st next therefore, this act
shall take effect and be iu force immedi­
ately from and after its passage and ap­
proval.
In view of the general local interest
in the question, the full text of Mr. Sel­
by'a carefully drafted bill is herewith
given:"
Section 1. That the several district
courts of this state shall possess and may
exercise the same power and jurisdiction
to hear, try and determine prosecutions
upou information, for felonies, misde­
meanors and other offenses, to issue
vrits and process, and do all other acts
therein, as they do now, or may hereafter
possess and may exercise in cases of like
prosecutions upon indictments by a
grand jury.
Section 2. All information shall be
filed in the district court of the county
having jurisdiction of the crime or offense
specified therein, by the state's attorney
of the prdper county, as informant, and
during the term of the said district court
held in and for such county, the state's
attorney shall subscribe his name to the
information, and endorse thereon the
names of all witnessess for the prosecu­
tion known to him at the time of filing
the same but other witnesses may testify
on the trial of such cause in behalf of the
prosecution thereof, the same as if their
names had been indorsed thereon.
Section 3. The state's attorney, prose­
cuting witness or some other person shall
verify the information, and the crime or
offense charged therein shall be stated
and set forth in ordinary and concise
languauge, without repetition, and in
substance as is now provided and re­
quired by law on indictments in like
cases.
Sec. 4. The information must charge
but one crime or offense, but the same
crime or offense may be set forth in
different forms or degrees and joined in
one information, in all cases where the
same might or may be done by different
counts in one indictment and the de­
fendant or defendants in all cases of such
prosecutions shall have the same rights,
as to proceedings therein, as if prosecut­
ed for the same crime or offense upon
indictment.
Sec. 5. That all of the proceedings of
the code of criminal procedure and all
other provisions of law, either relating or
in any manner applying to prosecutions
upon indictments, to writs and process
therein, and the issuing and service there­
of, to motions, pleadings, trials, penalties
and punishments, the passing or the exe­
cution of any sentence, and to all other
proceedings in cases of indictment,
whether in the court of original or ap­
pellate jurisdiction shall, in the same
manner and to the same extent and
effect, as near as may be, apply to prose­
cutions by information and to all pro­
ceedings thereon, the same as if prose­
cuted by indictment.
Sec. 6. Any person who may, as pro­
vided by law, I committed to jail, or
become recognized or held to bail with
surety or sureties for his appearance in
court to answer to any indictment may,
in like manner,be so committed or recog­
nized and held to bail for his appear­
ance, to answer to any information or in­
dictment, as the case may be.
Sec. 7. It shall be the duty of the
state's attorney of the proper county to
inquire into and make full examination
of all the facts and circumstances con­
nected with any case of preliminary
examinations, as provided by law, touch­
ing the commission of any offense where­
in the offender shall be committed to
jail, or wherein he has become recognized
or held to bail, and if upon such exami­
nation the state's attorney shall deter­
mine in such cas.' that an information
ought to be filed, he shall make, sub­
scribe and file with the clerk of the
fourt a statement in writing containing
his reasons, iu fact and in law. for not
filing an information in snch case, and
such stattment shall be filed at and
during the term of court at which the
offender shall be held for hid appearance
provided, that in such case the court
may examiue said statement, together
with the evidence filed in the case, and if
upon such examination the court shall
not be satisfied with said statement, the
state's attorney shall be directed by the
court to file the proper information and
bring the case to trial
Sec. 8. No information shall he filed
against any person for any crime or
offense until such person shall have had
a preliminary examination therefor, as
provided by law, before a committing
mHgistrate or other officer having author­
ity to make preliminary examinations,
unless such person shall waii-o bis right
to such examination, or the offense com­
mitted during the sitting of the court
then holden in and for the connty where
committed provided, however, that in­
formation may be filed without such ex­
amination against fugitives from justice,
and any fngitive from justice, against
whom an information shall be filed, may
be demanded by the governor of this
state of tbe executive authority of any
other state or territory, or of any foreign
government in the same manner, and tbe
same proceedings may be had thereon, as
provided by law in like cases of demand
upon indictment filed.
Sec. 9. Grand jurors shall not here­
after be drawn, summoned or required to
attend the sittings of any court within
this state, as provided bv law. unless the
judge thereof shall so direct hy order in
writing under his hand, and filed w:th
the clerk of said court: nnd in case snch
order is made and tiled tbe grand jnry
shall be drawn ana summoned in the
manner now or as may heraafter l»e- pro­
vided by law.
Sec. 10. All arts ami parts of acts in
conflict herewith urn jiefeln-
repealed.
The bill may l»e considered i»i general
orders tomorrow, but if not then, will
probably be laid over nntU after the hol­
idays. No canvass of the members has
been made on the question and any pre­
diction would be only in the nature of a
biased guess. 2'.
Incidentals.
If the recess soheme goes through, and
it will, a large legislative party will be
made up and a trip taken to the Pacific
coast. Arrangements are now being
made for the junket, and if there is no
hitch the start will be made next Tues­
day.
Just before adjournment today, Mr.
Lutz introduced and seoured the adop­
tion of a resolution, raising Captain
Gleason's pay per day. Williams
caught on und a successful play
for a job for another old soldier, and
Thompson of Cass, not to be outdone,
secured the peouniary elevation of the
brass-buttoned official who looks after
the committee rooms down town. It was
a great day for the comrades.
TH EPISCOPAL FAIR
Brings out a Large Audience—An
Attractive Program and Very En­
joyable Occasion.
A very large company visited the rink
Wednesday. The supper was pronounced
highly satisfactory, while the grand
march wits greatly appreciated and a
repetition enthusiastically demanded.
The songs by Messrs. Holgate and Kar
cher were respectively productive of
mucU enjoyment and merriment, while
the playing of the Arion band was never
finer and was inspiring in the highest
degree. The booth containing Christmas
and other articles for sale by the ladies
of Grace church was largely patronized
and the sales were very satisfactory. To­
night the balance will be sold at bargain
prices.
Mr. Brewitt's booth, showing tailoring
in active operation, attracted much at­
tention, and the beautiful costume of his
chief attendant, Harry Brewitt,was alone
worth a visit.
The costumes and banners of the large
number of young ladies and gentlemen,
composing the grand carnival march,
were very tasteful and rich, while it was
freely remarked that all tbe young
beantv and grace of Jamestown seemed
represented in full force in the parade.
Tbe chamber of horrors vindicated its
name and blanched the cheeks of all
visitors. The Chinese dwarf gave rise
to general curiosity the ladies all pro­
nounced him "real sweet," and it was
with difficulty the management prevent­
ed some of them from picking him up
and running away with him.
This church entertainment and fair is
pronounced by all as unique, inasmuch
as every visitor declares emphatically
that they received vastly more enjoyment
than they paid for, as the admissioi^of
fifteen cents covered all charges.
In the march the following merchants
were represented by the young ladies
and gentlemen named:
Shaw Co., by Miss Rose Bassett.
N. Fnld—Miss Sarah Kelley.

They Get Value Received.
The valne of The Weekly Alert as a
general and local newspaper is appreciat­

"Don't stop that paper: we will call and

"FLICKERTAIL" IT IS.
Resolution thus Christening
Native North Dnkotans
Passes the House.
Prohibition Approved with
Quill from an American
Eagle's Tail.
Native Coal Receiving the Long
Delayed Attention which,
it Deserves.
Considerable Horse Play.
Bismaeck, Dec. 19.—[Special]—The
legislature today took a recess until
anuary 7th. During the recess a party
of the members will go to the coast, but
the great majority will spend the time at
home.
When Speaker Wellman signed the
prohibitum bill today, he said it, was
done with a quill plucked from the tail
of the groat American eagle. The quill
was provided by the North Dakota non­
partisan temperance alliance, which de­
sires to preserve the pen that puts the
saloon men en the run.
The following resolution, introduced
in the house by Williams, touches a
matter of general interest, which should
have been inquired into long ago:
Whereas, A bill is pending in the
house, requiring all public institutions
in the state of North Dakota to use coal
from the mines of North Dakota, and
information is essential to intelligent ac­
tion be it
Besolved, That the commissioner ®f
agriculture and labor is hereby instruct­
ed to furnish this house, at as early a
date as possible, with all available infor­
mation in relation to the coal veins of
North Dakota, indicating looation and
depth of veins, extent of development,
etc£ and be it further
Besolved, That the board of railroad
commissioners be, and hereby are, re
required to make inquiry as to the rail­
road rates from the mines in North
Dakota to points in North takota, and
report whether equal facilities and
equal rates are granted to all mine oper­
ators.
It was adopted without dissent. The
reports called for are expected to be
ready after the recess.
The following resolution, introduced,
by Thompson of Cass, made a whole lot
of fun:
Whereas, North Dakota is now placed
in the galaxy of states destitute of a
familiar cognomen, by which those born
upon her fertile "soil can be known and
Whereas, Those born in the other
several states of the Union are called by
some characteristic appellation peculiar
to the state of his nativity and
Whereas, Bountiful nature in her
kindness and prodigality—and in the
Eternal fitness of things—has placed
among the numerous .denizens of her
broad prairies an animal of the order
rodenti, family sciurdiae, known ns the
Spirmophilus Richardsoni, called yulgo,
the "flicker-tail gopher," as a "thing of
beauty" and "a joy forever," exoopt in
certain oases and
Whereas, The Spirmophilus Richard
soni, or flicker-tail gopher, is a creature
endemic to this land of the Dakotas
therefore be it
Resolved, That we, the house of
representatives of the state of
North Dakota, do by this resolution
christen every child born or who may
hereafter be born within theboundries
of this state with the name "Flickertail,"
which christened name shall be applied
in the same manner astheword"Sucker"
is applied to children born in Illinois,
"Wolverine" to those born in Miohigpu,
"Badger" to those born in Wisconsin,
etc.
The resolution was adopted, and for
ten minutes North Dakota stood dubbed
"the Flickertail state." It was afterwards
reconsidered, however, and all mention
of it ordered expunged from the Jonr
nal.
Governor Miller signed the prohibi­
tion bill today, and, commencing July
lst, next, North Dakota will have a
chance to test tbe merits of the system
for herself.

Incidentals.
No man is more interested in tbe de­
velopment of this new country than
Richard Sykes of England. During
all the bad seasons he has cropped large
amounts of land in tbe James River val­
ley, and when light harvests came, never
lost heart or wanted to sell nut. His
confidence in the future of North' Da­
kota never wavers. He is experimenting
with tbe growing of trees, and the culti­
vation of cereals adapted to the climate
and soil. He bas recently contributed
some valuable information to tbe citizens
of tbe state regarding tree planting,
which will undoubtedly result in ad­
ditional interest being taken therein, by
reason of the knowledge Mr. Sykes has
acquired concerning the new and fast
growing white willow tree. In tbe old
country he is lecturing occasionally, and
drawing favorable attention to North
Dakota wherever possible. He has
through his individual exertions recently
organized a large company of capitalists,
whose
will be in vested in develop­
ing North Dakota lands, and whose
principal office will be located in James­
town. It is a gratifving acknowledge­
ment that tbe bouse
of
representatives
bus afforded him in considering an
amendment to the state agricultural
college bill, authorizing a portion of tbe
United States government's appropria­
tion for agriouitnral experiment stations,
to be expended on a seotion of land in
LaMoure county, which Mr. Sykes offer­
ed to deed to the state. The plan that
Mr. Sykes' proposal outlined, was to ex­
periment in a different part of the state
fiom the Red river vallev. where the
college is located, with grains, grasses,
trees and shrubbery and also with irri
SMtion. This amendment to the state
bill would no doubt have carried had the
main college station been already estab
lished. The next legislature will no doubt
establish some such branch experimental
station in the James River valley.
The legislative committee of the North
Dakota Pharmaceutical association held
ameetingin FnxgoTuesdny nightand do
voted some i.o to work on anew phar­
macy law, to'r-submitted to tho legis­
lature. After .i discussion of the provis­
ions of the Rowo prohibition bill, a tele­
gram was sent to Senator Svvanston here,
informing him that over fifty druggists
had been heard from, who said they
could not possibly take out a permit, as
provided for in that bill, and asking
that action on the bill bo postponed
until the druggists could be heard, but
action was not postponed.
SEPARATION WANTED.
Official Divorce Desired from the
South Dakota G. A. R. ly the Sortli
Dakota Boys.
In behalf of the Ludden, Dickey coun­
ty, G. A. R. post No. 97, Major E. R.
Kennedy is undertaking to start a move
which will result in forming a separate
department of the G.
A.
R. for North
Dakota. Eaoh northern state, at least,
comprises a single department and while
that of North Dakota would be small at
first, yet it would increase considerably
and be far more satisfactory than to
remain "tacked on to the tail end of
South Dakota," as Comrade Kennedy
expresses it. The next annual reunion
of the veterans of both Dakotas will be
held at Sioux Falls in March, and it is
proposed that North Dakota posts send a
delegation there which will make sll tlfe
necessary arrangements for tbe separa­
tion, division of the property, etc. To
this end, it is deemed desirable that a
meeting be called for some time in Feb­
ruary, at Jamestown, when the matter
can be further disouseed and the desired
action taken.
It is hoped that this proposition will
receive the early attention of the posts
thioughout the state.

Editorial Felicity.
Another North Dakota editor will re
communications from this time on
some of which at least, will not get on
the copy hook. The reason for this is
that Editor Charles Brown of the Lud­
den Times, bas been mnrried to Miss
Minm0Euton, daughter of Professor
Eaton that place, and .lit. joyous
couple are now experiencing the delights
of the honey-moon, and the anticipation
of the holidays in eastern cities.

railroad and warehouse commission, a
good position, at a salary of $1,500 per
annum. As the representative of the
Farmers' alliance, the Stutsman county
admirers of the gentlemen, while con­
gratulating him, believe that he will be
able to do the farmers many a good turn
on the board, before which their most
important interests must come, «r:d in
conflict nearly always with the corpora­

Editor M«w Married.
Carrington Independent: And now
