The south Dakota constitutional con-
yention, at the close of the session at
which the constitution of the state of
Dakota was adopted, adjourned to meet
again on the 4th OF May. That date is
near at hand. 1t was held by the mem
bers of the convention that by the Attn
of May congress would have Indicated
it's intentions towards the proposed state
of Dakota Ii, by that time, the aotion
Iof congress was favorable to the sdmis-
sion of the south half of the territory Of
Dakota under the Sioux Falls coIsti-
tuition, there would be no business be-
fore the convention at It's May session. If
congress had by the 4th of May refused
to confirm the state, as created through
the constitutional convention, ratified
by vote of the people, and established
by the organization of the state legis-
lature and the state government, the
constitutional convention at its May
session was to take such further steps in
behalf of statehood as the emergency
demanded. By an act of the committee
on territories of the house OF represen.
tatiyes, on the 2Sth of April, con gresa
refused to recognize the state OF Dakota
under the constitution adopted
land ratified by the people of the pro
posed state. 1t therefore becomes the
duty of the members of the constitu
tional convention Of the state of Dakota
to assemble,at Sionx Falls on the 4tt
OF May and take such action as will en-
able their constituents to fully NEE
the emergency forced upon them by thu
adverse action of a democratic majority

! tional. house of representatives. TIN

Iconvention retained its organization fo
the express purpose of meeting th
phase of the statehood question nov

The Jour nal says: fThe Hanson Place Methodist Episcopal church, one of the largest and wealthiest of the denomination in the city, has been closed during the summer Its pastor, the Rev. George E. Reed, D. D., has greatly needed the brief rest he has been granted. He has taken his vacation amid the mountains and streams of the North and feels prepared for the work which he again resumes. MT.

He graduated from the Wes- leyan university ip 1869 and the Boston Theological seminary few years later.
