townsite schemers. The bill
provides for q commission Of nine
persons to be appointed by the gov
elnor and confirmed by the council,
who shall each give bonds in the
sum of $4,000 for the faithful per-
formance of their trust; who shall
select a permanent site for the capt.
tai of Dakota on or before the first
day of July 1883. Every safeguard
is thrown into the bill for the pro-
lection of the people and the terri
tory is to receive not less than $780,
600 in cash as a donation from the
proprietors of the site selected.
The commissioners are prohibited
from purchasing any land within
ten miles of the site selected for the
capital for a period Of n year after
the selection Of the same. Of
course the people of Yankton say it
is a fraud and a snare because they
are to lose the capital thereby, and
the railroad corporations echo the
same sentiment because they are
prevented from making a big pile
to fill the individual pockets of
their officers. 1t is a popular meas
ure in the interests of the people
and will be sustained by the people.
The bill will undoubtedly pass to-
morrow, and if it does we under
stand that Governor Ordway will
approve it and the capital will be
removed.
The apportionment bill which
passed the council to-day makes
Union, Clay and Lincoln counties
the first legislative district with one
member of the council and two
members of the house.
A large number Of bills are now
being passed both houses and it is
almost impossible to get at a general
idea Of the nature of all the bills
that are becoming laws. The bills
that Union county is interested in are
passed and will be presented to the
governor tomorrow.

Peterson's Magazine for April is
already on our table, as welcome as
the flowers of spring, and quite as
fresh and beautiful. The embellish-
ments, as usual, are very fine, par
ticularly the steel-plate, "a Modern
Cinderella" the colored steel fash
ion plate; and the colored pattern
crewels, a bunch of dog-daisies.
But the specially of the number is
its stories, which, though always su-
perior in Peterson" are better this
month than ever. Mr.. Benedict's
novel, A Professional Beauty" is
alone worth double the subscription
price. Then there is one of Josiah
Aliens Wife's" numerous sketches.
In Kittery," by the author of The
Second Life" is also such as one
rarely reads. The illustrated story
my First Dall-Dress," is charming
ly told; and so is the romantic
Modern Cinderella" All the
spring fashions are given in advance
and the fashion cuts, and work Ia
BILE cuts, etc, etc, are without num-
Der. No lady should be without
this magazine. 1t is not too late to
subscribe for 1883, as all the back
numbers can he supplied, if desired.
The price is but two dollars, and to
clubs it is much cheaper. Speci-
mems are sent gratis to those wish
ing to get up clubs, and handsome
premiums are given for getting them
