To tie Press ard Daketaian.
Esmond, K1ngsbury County, Dakota,
juno 3-We had a rousing state league
meeting at the Methodist church here
last night. Fifty-four joined the Els
mond league, Nearly all farmers and
their wives. John A. Owen first ex-
plained the object of the league to be
for division and admission under the
Sioux Falls constitution and read the
pledge. He also ADVOCATED the repeal
OF section t~hirty-fwo of the schedule,
hut said the league was not organized to
accomplish that; that the league means
we will steadily stand up and hang on
to the constitution of Dakota till we ere
divided and admitted under 1t, nc mat
ter how long the war lasts, or how many
bills for admission as q whole rtass con-
gress.. The formers stand by that con-
stitution and it will be a hard job to get
them away from it. Major McCallum,
of Huron, spoke upon the history of
state making under the ordinance Of
I7S7 and said he proposed as a member
of the constitutional convention to vote
in July to submit the repeal of section
~thirty-two to the people.
The meeting lasted till half past
eleven and still the audience called for
further speeches and no one wanted to
leave. This resolution was adopted, on
motion of 81. H. Sheets:
Resolced, That in our opinion the
constitutional convention at its meeting
July 18th, should, without hesitation,
submit to the people the question of the
repeal of section thirty-two of the
schedule of the constitution, that we
may have an opportunity to say by u
votes whether we will longer appear be-
fore the congress of the United States
upon our knees when we ought to stand
up, face congress and demand our
rights.
There was only one vote against the
resolution. Tho Esmond young people
sang Dakota and the Union" and other
Dakota songs in a way that showed they
were in earnest.

THE CRIME

A TEN THOUSAND DOLLAR RE- J
9 cEIvEp MINUS ITS VALUABLE CONTENTS.
Van Vert, Ohio. May 4-The National
bank received yesterday. by United
States express, from the U1ion national
bank of Cincinnati, a package purport-
ing to contain $4,000, but when opened
it was found to be filled with cotton.
p%asteboard and railroad advertising bills.
The package should have reached Van
Vert Wednesday. The money clerk at
Cincinnati, who received it, says he
sealed it with green wax. The way bill
for the II of Tuesday night had q
package marked "short when received"
This package was sealed with red wax.
The delay of twenty-four hours in transit
has not yet been explained, but will
doubtless give clue to the robber.
No thorough investigation of the
method of substitution can be made at
Cincinnati. Superintendent Gone, of
Toledo, is looking into the matter. The
package would pass over three roads and
through the hands Of three messengers
between Cincinnati and here. This
could easily explain the t%wenty-four
hours delay, The package was not
sealed by the Cincinnati money clerk.
However it had been previously sealed
by the bank.

4 Strike in the Prussian Army.

The pluckiest strike on record is GER
tainly that OF. q Prussian infantry COM
pany, who some tbirty-five years. ago took
their Lives in their hands and deliberately
suspended their military functions II the
hope of provoking IN investigation that
would help them get rid of the preposter-
GUS tyranny of their commanding officer.
He had harrassed them for years in q way
that would have secured his conviction
before n commissioner on lunacy, but see
ing no other way of redress, the men
agreed on a strike en- masse; and on the
neKt parade day, at q p~reconcerted signal,
came to an aorder arms grimly disre-
garding the captains counter orders.
The shrieks and blasphemies of the in
censed martinez failed to Shake their
apathy, but the moment q superior officer
appeared on the scene they obeyed his
commands with cheerful promptitude.
Suspecting the motive of their conduct,
the major ordered up four additional com
panies, which then formed a square
around the mutineers and then marched
them Off to prison. The consequent in
vestigation proved that the captain was
decidedly more than half crazy; neyerthe.
less, his victims were sentenced to penal
servitude for periods varying from five to
fifteen years To man they received the
verdict with cheers, declaring that, com
pared with Ghe misery of the last two
years, a Prussian fortress, under a q n
commander, would be q welcome harbor
of refuge.-Dr. Oswald in Cincinnati En-
