The Constitution.

Yankton, Nov. l2.--The returns on
the vote for the constitution caused great
surprise here. The movers in the en-
terprise did not expect quite SO much
opposition, nor did they look for the
degree of apathy which showed itself.
The greatest surprise was caused by the
news from Sioux Falls. Minuehaha
county was considered secure for the
constitution and the friends of the iocu-
ment would not believe the report until
they had wired back for confirmation
Two things are clearly notrceable-tne
opposition came mostly from the older
counties, and that it developed streng, h

Shot Near Sidney,

Sidney Special. The body Of man,
evidently about 80 years old, was found
seven miles east of Sidney, on the ranch
Of Richard keenger When found he
was lying face downward, i'm the water
of Lodge Pole creek. Twenty yards up
the creek, and about ten feet from the
bank lay his hat, and the same spot was
covered with blood. He had been shot,
the ball entering just below the point of
the left cheek and passing out through
the base Of the brain, and is supposed to
have been killed last Sunday. He is
small in size, weighing perhaps l3O
pounds, is about five feet, six inches tall
and had full beard, auburn i'm color.
The theory here is that he was murder
ed for money, only S2.35 in silver being
found on his person. and his packets and
clothes showed evidence Of being tam.
pered with. No one knows who he is
and the only clue TO his identity is part
Of an envelope, on which was written,
"Wm. Peter, Twin Creek, Pinta
county, Wyo." Appearances indicate
that he had been miner. Anyone
knowing anything that will tend to es-
tablist his identity will confer a favor
by communicating with S. o. Fowler
sheriff, Sidney, Neb.

from the fire, as it were, by asserting
that lie had quotation marks embracing
his extract from Beecher The Difficult
ty was wholly one of speech. There is
no sound possible to the human iarynx
which will cypress quotations marks.
In printing, there is no difficulty, for
the inverted commas show clearly that
one is borrowing language. But in
speaking there is great danger in the
use of quotations. Mr. Brand, for in

he did not speak them. - Pioneer Press.
