CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENTS.

The Virginia Chronicle recently stated
that twenty-nine proposed amendments
to the Constitution would be submitted
to the people for ratification or rejection
ut the next. election. Several other
papers copied the Chronicles statement,
which was erroneous, IS was pointed ont
by the SILVER STATE at the time. Now
Wells Drury, Deputy Secretary Of State,
writes the Chronicle that only three pro-
posed amendments will be submitted to
the voters next November. These
amendments were proposed by the Legis.
lAturs of 1883. and agreed to by the
Legislature of 1885. The first relates to
amendments to the Constitution, and
provides more expeditions method than
that now in force of changing that instru.
mont; the second requires residence of
one year in the State and ninety days in
the county as qualification for voters;
and the third provides that school moneys,
which at present can be invested only in
United States or Nevada State bonds,
may be invested in the bonds OF such
other States as may be selected by the
boards authorized by law to make such
Investments.
The amendments to the Constitution
proposed by the Legislature of 1885 must
be agreed to by the next Legislature be-
fore they can be submitted to the people
At an election. At present the Constitu.
tion can not be amended in less than
four years. without special election and
even then it will take about three years.
The FIRST of the proposed amendments
which arc to be submitted to the quail e d
electors next November, provides that
If twc.thirds of the members of
each house of the Legislature
agree to a proposed anne ndment. said
amendment shall be submitted to the
people at the time for electing the next
Legislature, and, if the people. by ma
jority vote, approve and ratify the
amendment it shall become part of the
Constitution. This simplifes the man
ner of amending the Constitution, and
reduces the time in which it can be done
from four to two years.

their utmost to build NJ good and thrifty

done but very little business, leaving every

A Victory FoR THE Tows.-At the
recent session Of the supreme court the
Title case came up and resulted, prac-
tically, in a victory for our town au-
thorities. The plaintiff asked that the
mayor and town council be cited TO ap-
pear and show why they had not salts
fed his judgment, and further asked
that a mandatory process be issued
compelling then, to do so without de-
lay. The applications we're denied,
the court deciding that such powers
were not relegated to them by the stat
utes. OF course the judgment still
stands, but II there is no means of
compelling payment, IL cannot be con-
sidered very valuable piece of prop
erty. 1t will certainly be some time
before the city fathers will settle the
matter of their own free will and ac-
cord. Just how the court reconciles
it's recent decision with that OF year
ago giving the judgment, is shrouded
in darkness.

An OFFICER SHOT AT Parsons.
Cummings" registered at the Cen
tropolis, in Parsons, last Thursday
evening and on coming out from sup
per put on the landlords hat and de-
parted. The theft was discovered at
once and very soon Policeman Kyser
had the man in charge. Cummings
broke away and drawing a pistol, shot
Kyser through the stomach, from the
effects Of which death resulted on Sat
urday. Afler the shooting the man
made his escape, but was arrested
next day at Altamont and taken at
once to Oswego, the county seat.
When the announcement OF Kyser's
death was made public there was a
general clamor for lynching bee and
had the murderer been in Parsons his
chances for a trial would have been
slender. When Kyser begun sinking
the sheriff was ordered to take the
man TO Parsons for Identification. The
train, however, chanced to be four
hours late and the man died before
they started.

A Car BURSED.-Monday evening a
Missouri Pacific paint car which stood
on the house track for the accommo-
dation Of force OF men who we're
painting the depot, caught fire and
quickly burned up. 1t was pushed
down the track a short distance by
hand to save the adjoining buildings,
but nothing further could be done, so
great was the heat from the burning
oils, etc. The boss was in the car
thawing out some paint on the stove
and in this manner the fire caught.
The clothing and personal effects of
several of the men were burned up
with the car. 1t is truly to be hoped
this accident will not prevent the depot
from being painted and fixed up, for it
is certainly "ratty" looking affair.

A MYSTERIOUS DEATH.-Last Satur-
days Frisco freight train from the east
brought to this place the horribly
mutilated remains OF a man whose
name was b. Russell. They were found
beside or on the track between Grand
river and Prairie City and the un-
fortunate man had evidently been run
over tie previous night by the east
bound freight. An examination OF the
pock cts disclosed letters bearing the
name given, and addressed to Prairie
City, and day or two later the body
was conveyed there and buried. II has
since been learned that last Friday
Russell was at Seneca with a COM
panion in n wagon and was drinking
some; also that he had go. On the
way back, 50 says his companion,
Russell got out OF the wagon and
started ahead on foot to keep warm. A
short time after four men came up aud
enquired OF the driver where his pa-t-
ner was, and on being told, started of
in the same direction. The next
known Of Russell, was the finding OF
his body. The $50 was missing and
this fact, with several other circum.
stances, lead to the belief that very
likely there was foul play in the mat.
ter. We are told that the engineer ol
the train which must have run over
the body, felt jar at tho point wher,
II was found and reported that some
thing was wrong with the track. The
body was torn and mangled in every
conceivable manner as though II haC
been run over half dozen times anC

Tux Insurance. FRAUD.-J. F. Kille-
brew, who was arrested at Parsons last
week and turned over to Deputy Isbell
on warrant charging larceny, Is a
man whose education and opportunl-
ties should have brought forth better
fruit. He was originally from Illinois,
where he was principal Of a high
school, so he claims, and has since re-
sided and taught school at Dallas, Tex
as. Despite his advan tages aud attain
ments he fell into practices OF dishon.
esty and now goes to felon's cell.
His oifense consisted In representing
himself as an insurance agent and
writing policies in company he had
no connection with, collecting the pre-
MUM on the same. This class OF cases
Judge Parker disposes OF under the lar
ceny statute. Killebrew has son at
