SATURDAY, SEPT. 10.
At the converting of the convention
Judge Edgerton took the floor and contin-
ued his address in opposition to Judge
Campbell's secession or revolutionary
resolution, taking the position that the
adoption of the resolution would be fatal to
Dakotas admission to statehood. At the
close of Judge Edgerton's address Mr.. Me
Callum moved that the Objectionable reso-
luton be referred TO a select committee of
five; Mr.. Camp bell moved that il be re-
ferred to the judiciary committee # which
he is a meml 81; Mr.. Coffin moved as a
substitute for Campbell's proposition that

the chair, which was unanimously agreed
to, and Messrs. Coffin, Carson, Haines,
Westfall and Dollard were appointed.
This committee is expected TO modify the
resolution so that il will express para

unanimously adopted.
All political power is inherent in the peo-
pie, and all free government is founded on
their authority, and it is instituted for their
equal protection and benefit, and they have
the right, by lawful and constitutional
methods, to alter or reform their forms of
government in such manner as they may
think proper; and the State of Dakota is
an inseperable part ofthe American Union,
and the constitution of the United States is
the supreme law of the land.
A long debate ensued upon the PROPOSE
ton to grant suffrage to women, Judge
Moody favoring such extension. He Wa
defeated, however, and the section a.
adopted grants to women the right to vote
at school elections, and to hold all offices
except as otherwise provided for in the
constitution. The r port of the committee
on name, boundary and seat of government
was adopted with but few changes. The
eth standard parallel was fixed as the
northern boundary east of the Missouri
river, and the 10th parallel west of that
point; the temporary and permanent seats
Of government to be located by a vote of
the people.
The section relative to railroads was so
amended as to prevent the consolidation of
rival railroads, by lease or otherwise; and

power to prevent discrimination, unjust or
otherwise, in rates of transportation.

A telegram from Evansville, Ind,
says: Intense excitement was caused
here by the discovery that an old build
ing, which for a number of years was
used by the medical fraternity as col
lege and public dispensary, but which
had been recently abandoned, had been
used by ghouls. In yard at the rear
of the building portions of female bod
les were discovered scattered around
promiscuously. On entering the build
ing five tables were found covered with
blood and hair. One had evidently
been used recently. Parts of human
bodies were scattered over the floor.
In one corner was a common coffin,
which had certainly never been placed
iu the ground, but had probably been
taken there by an undertaken instead
of being buried. The most horrible
sight was in the garret. which seemed
to have been the place of deposit for re-
mains of the subjects after they served
the purpose for which they had been
u-ocured. Scattered about on the floor
were the remains of forty.five human
beings. both white and black, male and
female. In numerous cases the ghouls
had failed to remove the socks from the
feet of their subjects. The disgusting
place was visited by hundreds of curl
Gus people Tuesday. The building is
owned by the county. The citizens
will see that immediate disposition is
made of the remains, and that the
building is cleansed and fumigated.

tar in his peculiar costume will soon be
obsolete. The Navy Clothing Board,
having been in session for the last
month, has decided to refashion the
naval uniforms, which have been con-
sidered forls long time ridiculously an.
,tique. Blue will remain the dominant
color, but new hat and trousers in
shapes like the civilian fashions will
take away the unique appearance of the
old sailor costume. The new dress is
considered much more useful.
