Commissioner Mckenzie, one of the
nine "most reputable men in Dakota" is
possessed of an Imagination which would
be bonanza of wealth to writers of
cheap fiction. He gave this to st. Paul
Pioneer-Press reporter regarding the
movements of the capital commissioners
They didn't sneak through Yankton-they
vent through like sensible men who had been
delegated TO perform duty and desired to do
~. ..
in . state of perfect ferment. Armed men par
trolled the streets-he said he could prove this
night and day.
This much he has thrown out to the
prejudice Of Yankton and with complete
disregard for the truth. If there we're
armed men on patrol it was those land
those only) whom the governor sent
down along the railroad track on horse
back to stand guard over the flying train
as it rushed through sleeping town il
the morning twilight. Mr.. Mckenzie
further stated to reporter that the GU
parranto hearing would occur before
Judge Kidder, in vermillion. The com
missioners are summoned to make an
swer in the second judiciel district. whicl
has its court at Yankton, Judge Edger
ton presiding. Mckenzie may have un
derestimated the force and power of th
documents which summon himself an
his partners to Yankton.

The newly appointed commissioners
Of Yankton county have called the elec.
tion at which the railroad bond matter
will be finally settled for the 25th of
April. Upon that occasion the. people
will be called upon to ratify the act
authorizing the refunding of the Yank.
ton county debt and the exchange Of
our eight per cent bonds for four per
cent bonds. The holders of the eight
per cent bonds agree to an exchange and
also agree that the overdue interest,
amounting to over $4,000. shall be
merged into the new bonds. They stipu-
late that they will not begin proceedings
pending the settlement of the matter
and should the bonds carry, all their
actions against the county in the court
will be dropped. There is No argument
upon this proposition. There is only one
thing to do In our own interest, and that
is to ratify the bonds. Otherwise the
court can order an immediate levy
against property for the payment Of $3.50,
600, or more, now due on coupons, and
can enforce the collection of the eight per
cent interest as it becomes due. Under
the new bonding act the debt will
be no burden to the people. The I'D.
ditional tax will be so slight that it viii
not be noticed. It will amount annual
ly to not more than one dellar and hal
per person. There appears to be gen
eral disposition to ratify the bonding
act and end this trouble which has al
ready injured us more in financia
sense than the full face OF the debt.

The Plankinten Star speaks the senti-
ment Of its locality in favor of the Hu-
ron convention. It says:
The committee recommend that all voters,
regardless of politics or party, take part in an
election OF delegates TO be held June 9th, and
that voluntary committees be formed in the
several counties TO take charge of it. This il
~ it should be. All parties are Interested in
the fomation of . constitution for the new
state, and all should have . voice in molding itt
provisions.
This movement is slowly but surely
growing in public favor and there is m
encouraging promise that by the date
of the convention it will be generally
popular. It is pretty generally admitted
that condition OF statehood is the only
relief from the ills of the present. Whel
the people are the appointing powe

In Prison.

Ex-Warden Haynes. in his Pictures
of Prison Life" gives the following in
cident in connection with the work on
the enlargement of the oldMassachusetts
Penitentiary:
It was necessary to employ some of
the prisoners outside the walls, and I
selected man for that purpose who had
always behaved we'll, and who had but
short time to remain. Very much to
my surprise, he objected to going out
side to work. This was so unusual that
inquired the cause. He hesitated a
moment, but finally told me. He had a
wife and two children, who were ignor-
ant of his being in prison. In the small
yellow house, he said, directly opposite
his cell-window and near where he
would have to work, should he go out
side, they were then living. He had
watched his children all through the
summer, playing in a vacant lot of land
belonging to the prison, directly under
his window, and so near him that he
could see his wife passing in and out OF
the house, or sitting at her window. lit
tie dreaming that he had been so near
them for almost two years.
This mans crime was theft. He had
left his family in Boston and gone to the
western part of the State to obtain work
but failing in that, and without money
to return, he took a watch. whose owner
had left it hanging in his office, into
which this convict had stepped for 3
moment to make some inquiries. II
the meantime, his wife, not hearing
from him, had come to Charlestown t
live, and taken this tenement in plair
sight, and within q few rods of his cell
His feelings we're regarded, and he wa!
allowed to serve out his sentence with
out being discovered.
