That Capital Question,

North Dakotans ought not to find fault
with the manner in which their capital and
other state institutions were located by the
constitutional convention, says a South
Dakota correspondent. The question is
settled with them-it is an ACCOMPLISHED
fact. 1t is different in the South. 1t re-
quires the fourth heat to win the prize.
The first was in 1885; the second comes
this year; next year there will be a vote on
its permanent location, which won't better
1t; 80 in 1892 there will be another test of
strength upon the question. The South
state congratulates the North state upon
its happy escape from the capital contest,
and hopes that the South may never see
another such wrangle, which is liable to
resultin heart burnings and denominations

DIVIDING THE REWARD.
Various People Want Il Slice ofthe ReWar,
Offered for HolZhay's Arrest,

AAOAAA0y <ATFobS
The arrest at Republic, Wis, of the
hi%ghwayman Holzhay has given rise TO no
end..of hard feelings. There arc half q
dozen principal claimants for the rewards
offered for his arrest, and every one
who saw the capture made, or was within
half o mile of the place at the time, is
claiming a slice. The facts about the ar
rest, as learned by your correspondent
after thorough examination of the parties
who made it, are as follows: Marshal
Globe, who is the only regular police Off
Ger in the village, approached the suspect
single-handed, without a revolver or even
q club. Holiday ldrew his revolver, but
the weapon was seizel by Globe. A
struggle ensued, and Whelan, coming up
opportunity, struck Holzhay twice, knock
ing him down. Mr.. Weiser and others
then came to their assistance and the
prisoner was taken to Jail. Marshal
Globes GOODNESS and bravery deserve reo-
ognition, and the people of the town will
present him with a substantial token of
their regard. As Holzhay will be tried at
Bessemer for murder, the government re-
ward of 81, 900 will not be paid. As the
amount of the reward grows smaller tho
claimants for 1t become more numerous.

Status OF tho London Strike,

In addition to the London dock COM
panies which Lave already a"ceded to the
demands of the strikers o number of other
companies have now slgnitied their will
ingness to grant what the men wanted.
Public opinion, which has so far been
almost a unit in sympathy with tho strik-
ers in their long struggle against the dock
companies, has experienced a revulsion
which cannot fail to have an influence
upon the ultimate result of their
fight. The action Of Mesers.
Burns and Tillett, the leaders OF the
men, in signifying their approval
of a proposition for a compromise
made by Cardinal Manning and the lord
mayor, aud then, when the proposal had
been Internationally accepted by the dock
managers, deliberately ropudiating it, is
almost everywhere condemned. The lord
mayor asserts that Burns unquestionably
accepted the compromise proposed, and
says that now the men nave rejected it,
he washes his hands Of the whole bust
ness. Hints are not wanting that the
leaders Of the men have ends of their own
to be furthered only by q continuance of
the strike, and they do not hesitate for
purely selfish considerations to sacrifice
the best interests of their willing dupes.

that the Capital Investment company, with
headquarters at Woonsocket, has chosen
Pierre as tho place for their Investments,
and will throw all their influence, claiming
over 10 1000 votes, to that city for the capital.
This decision was arrived at after several
some sixty men out over South Dakota to
canvass for Pierre for the capital. They
have purchased a large amount of property
in and about the city, on which they ex-
pect to realize handsomely in case the cap

Right.
The pearl excitement in the vicinity of
Albany, Wis, is now at its height. AL
though claims are getting scarce and the
divers have to dig in the mud at the bottom
of the river the finds are more numerous
and valuable han ever. The largest
and by fur the most valuable pearl
in Wisconsin was found by W. II. Hahn.
The weight Of the pearl was 252 grains.
A New York buyer offered S3,50O for it,
but his figure was considerably too low.
Hundreds Of small pearls arc found and
sold daily. The purchasers are agents Of
Chicago, Now York and Paris houses.
Within the last two weeks tho following
sales have been made: B. j. McAtee,
81. 122; +. L. Roberts, $3,42 Hewitt e.
Warren, 500; ]. O. Lilley, $l,72O; Halli-
day e. Allen, 5000. Visitors and clam
hunters are pouring into Albany, and the
banks of the river for miles are dotted
with tents. The stones proved to be of
value after all, despite the early report
from Chicago that they were soft and
worthless.

game and destroyed berries, which are an

work of procuring a jury is dragging most
unpromislngly. A far samplc of each

cident: Henry Sweet, q farmer from
GlenwOod, was examined and CROSS ex-
amined at length and finally. Forrest, for
the defense, challenged the juror for
cause, giving as reasons that he had
formed an opinion Us to the extent of the
conspiracy to kill DR.. Cronin, and also as
to whether or not some of these defend
ants were members of that conspiracy,
and that (ronin was killed in pursuance
of the action of the supposed trial com
mittee appointed by the camp of the So
called Clun-na. Gael societies. The court
asked the juror if, notwithstanding til
opinions formed upon these matters, he
could give the prisoners Il fair and i'm
partial trial, to which the juror answered
that he could. The challange was her
overrulcd by the court. Forrest tool OK

The London Ripper Again.

The police have found the body of an
other fallen woman lying at the corner of
the railway arch. on Cable street, White
chapel, London. An examination of the
remains showed that the head and legs
had been cut Off and carried away and the
stomach ripped open, the intestines lying
on the ground. The police, who passed
the place every fifteen minutes, state that
they saw nothing suspicious. Physicians
who examined the body state that, in their
opinion, the murder and mutilation occu-
pied nearly an hour: The woman was
about 30 years old. She was shabbily at
tired and was evi emily a spirit drinker.
The remains have not been identified.
The most intense excitement prevails in
Whitechapel and crowds surround the
mortuary where the body lies. No blood
was on the ground where the body was
found. nor was there any blood on the
body. From this it WAS evident that the
murder was committelin some other place
and that the body was subsequently de-
posted unGer the r ,ilway arch.

How q Decision Was Reached.

How a Decision Was Reached.
The land Pierre offered to sell to the
company was $500, 900 cheaper, all things
considered, than any other town offered.
Huron withdrew its offer. The other
towns had their delegations on hand with
offers. L.. l.. Stevens, treasurer of tho
company, says all reports as to the iinan-
cial embarras sment of the company are
campaign lies; that the company has no
debts and has pur, hased property in Pierre
that is worth $500, 900 above cost; that the
company was never in better condition,
and That the demand for shares of 8 ock
was never greater. 1t is understood that
Pierre won on a plurality vote Of the stock
represented when the question was passed
upon.
Pierre's Opponents.
Immediately after the announcement of
the Woonsocket compnny's intentions del
egates from Huron, Sioux Falls, Water
town, Mitchell, Chamberlain and tiarri-
son met at Aberdeen and held a confer
ence looking to q counter movement
against Pierre. No definite line of action
was agreed upon because not one of The
towns was ready to withdraw from the
race. The inclination was very strong to
make common cause against Pierre, but
each town wanted to be elected the cham
pion to meet the Missouri river town sin
gle handed and alone. It is announced
from Hurona nd Mitchell that each town
is in the race Independently, and that is
perhaps what the contest will settle down
to all around.
