SIOUX FALLS, Special Telegram, Sept. ID
Recognizing the fact that there is vast amount
Of work yet to do, the first step of the consti
tutional convention this morning was to adopt
a new time schedule Hereafter the conven-
tion will convene at M and and md;at5a nSo
Hon R F. Pettigrew, Hon. B. g. Caulfield and
other prominent delegates say the convention
should about complete the work before it by
Saturday evening. To the contrary, however,
the delegates evinced longing to be rath or
for instance. where the report of the
committee on State. county and municipal in
debtedness was called up for adoption The
convention tackled on clause which prohibits
any city, town or county municipality voting
aid or aiding in any way from the general fund
to any individual, association or corporation.
Exceptions were taken to the provision because
it precludes the old way Of securing new rail-
ways by voting tax upon the inhabitants of
city. county or township. 1t was held by some
that it was absolutely necessary to grant this
kept from development A. =. Melville
of Beadle county, w. A. Brookings of Minne-
haha and others declared that unless county,
city and other munic. palitcrs were given co.,
troll Of the matter Of voting aid to RAILWAYS, or
whatever corporation, the constitution would
not be ratified q. q. Moody OF the Black
Hills and Il. F. Pcttigrew of Sioux Falls fought
for the adoption Of the section as reported.
They pointed to the thousands OF miles OF rail
roads already in Dakota, and declared that had
there been law permitting it every mile
of those roads would have been built
by the aid Of means voted from the
people. As 1t was. they cost them nothing.
Several of the delegates said railroad that did
not build upon it's merits. and without aid from
the counties through which it passed, was
not worth having. As the section was adopted,
railroads will get no aid from any county or
municipal government in the State Of Dakota
unless the constitution is amended after it was
adopted. Early in the session
THE REPORT FROM THE JUDICIARY
was received; 1t is very important in many
respects. The terms OF judges of the supreme
court are fixed at four years after the first
term, which shall be five years, and the dis
tricts are arranged as follows:
First-All that portion of the State lying west
of the Missouri river.
Second-That portion east Of the Missouri and
west of the Dakota line.
Third-All that portion Of the State east Of the
Dakota river.
The judicial circuits are arranged as follows:

Both majority and minority reports on
woman's rights were indefinitely postponed,
as the subject involves matter for the
legislature to determine.

out more ado, and the hour being late
very little earth was thrown over him.
When the grave digger went early next
morning to the cemetery 10 complete his
work, he heard s0undas Of groaning and
struggling in Tichonoffs grave. Instead
of forthwith releasing the poor wretch
the man ran to the priest to ask leave to
disinter him. This request the priest re-
fused, on the ground that he dare not
touch body once buried without the per-
mission of the police. On this the sexton
informed TichOnOffs wife of what had
come to pass, and they went together to
the chief of the local police. This gentle
man said it was quite out OF his power to
give the required authorization, and re-
ferred them to the archimandrite, and the
archimandrite prOfessed to be equally
powerless, referring them to the procura-
tor. In the end the agOnized wife pro-
cured the authorization, without which
nobody would act, and returned to the
cemetery. But it was too late; five hours
had elapsed since the grayedigger first
heard the grOans, and Tichonoff was now
dead beyond the possibility of doubt. The
poor fellow succumbed only after mortal
struggle. He had turned around in his
coffin, and in his despair bitten his fingers,

BeIgic Legislators and Their Grogs


The House of Commons Is sometimes
spoken of as the best club in London,
Honorable members are Obliged, however.
to pay for what they consume in the way
of refreshments. In this respect the
Belgian Chamber of Representatives was
till quite recently even a still superior
club, for it has been the custom there for
some years to supply the members with
cognac ''grOgs'' instead of the traditional
glass of cold water. Not merely the
speakers, but every member present, and
even the official shorthand writer's and the
journalists in the gallery enjoy the benefit
of this hospitable custom. At 3 O'Clock
each day the attendants brought in trays
laden with ''grogs," which they distribut-
ed among the occupants of the different
benches. At 4 O'Clock another ''round'
was served, and yet another at 5if the
sitting lasted so long. Each speakers
glass was filled as often as he emptied it :;
and q verbose orator would consume as
many as four or five ''grOgs'' in the course
of his speech The cOnyivial practice was
suppressed lately, and buffet has been
substituted at which members must pay
for their drinks This arrangement is
by no means to their taste; and NJ. MalOn,
the leader of the opposition, by way of a
protest againstit, brought flask of brandy
into the House with him and calmly pro-
ceeded to- mix himself ''grog'' with the
aid of the eau sucree provided by the
State. Other members were not slow to
follow example, and it is said that the
spectacle sometimes pretented by the
Chamber at ''grOg time" of an afternoon,
with each legislator busily engaged In
compromising his own particular ''brew,'
suggests the idea rather of large chemi-
cal laboratory than of House of Parlia-
