PROHIBITION PROSPERS. The Burn-'em-at-tlie-stake Bill Awaits the Governor's Signature. It Goes into Effect July first, 1SOO The Emergency Clause Killed. The Fargo Agricultural College Bill Passed toy the House -A Hard Fight. The Grand Jury System thought to be Doomed—Its Pres ent Status. Interesting Sessions. 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. G. A. Lieber—Miss Ada Goodrich. C. L. Judd—Miss Lilly Brewitt. H. A Niemeyer—Miss Lizzie Nickeus. D.Qoodman—Miss Georgie McLean. The Alert—Miss Corneille Smith. Medicine—Miss Jennie Smith. J. R. Winslow—Miss Bessie Winslow. J. H.

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. money adver A. KLAUS. P. M. Senate bill No. 12, which fixes the terms of the supreme court as follows^ petit juror and mileage.. First at Fargo, commencing on the firsy 'Henry Tuesday in January theseoond at Bis^p marck, commencing the first TneBday in May, and the third at Grand Forks, com 'PnAO/lllff St D/tf At\AI» mencing the first Tuesday in October allows the judges $800 each for traveling expenses. The senate medical bill passed tbe house, and so did several other bills of minor importance. The county seed wheat bill came up for third reading and was recommitted to the judiciary committee. Some of its provisions are said to be unconstitu tional. 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. COUNTY COMMISSIONERS.
