Numerous telegrams have been received in
Washington asking for iniormationin regard
to the Sioux Indian lands, and many persons
appear to have tine impression that the presi-
dents proclamation is all that is now needed
to make the lands a part of the public
domain and such open to settlement. This
impression is not founded on the law and ls
erroneous. One of the acts of congress re

fore be necessary for one report OF the com
mission to be sent to congress and favorable
action taken thereon before the president
can declare the lands open to settlement. IL
will be good while before settlers can go
upon the lands.

The South Dakota Convention About Ready.

The South Dakota constitutional conven-
tion practically closed it's labors on August
80. During it's last hours the convention
passed upon some Of the most important
matters brought before the body. The pro-
posed amendment to the schedule, shorten
ing the terms of state officers to be elected
in October, thereby making the elections for
state and county officers coincident, which
was defeated the day before, was reconsider
ed and adopted. State and county officers
will, therefore, be elected in November 1890
and South Dakota has been delivered
from annual elections. The most
important feature of the work was the con-
sideration OF the report OF the COM
mittee on state and municipal indebtedness.
By the constitution of 1885, the limit of state
! Indebtedness was fixed at $4,000. The
committee construed the limitation to be en-
! tirely independent of South Dakota's share
OF the territorial Indebtedness. By the re-
port of the committee the legislature is en-
| powered to incur Indebtedness to the amount
of $4,000. An amendment was offered fix
ing the limit at 500, 900 which was adopted.
After q lengthy debate the report of the joint
committee was formally adopted.
A warm discussion prevailed for q time
over the action of q disbursing clerk, who
proposed to pay for thirty days instead Of
test from the members, and finally the
clerk gave way. difficulty al
SO arose over the mileage account
After passing resolutions thanking differ
ent officials and praising the generous hos
pitality of the people of Sioux Falls, the
constitution was read by articles. Judge
Carson, chairman of the committee or
phraseology and arrangement, said ht
would vouch for it's correctness. President
Edgerton said he was willing to take Judge
Carson's word and added his signature, tC
be followed in order by the other members
of the convention. A resolution was passed
authorizing the territorial treasurer to funt
into per cent bonds 100000 of the SoutI
Dakota inherited debt.

| In the Montana convention the committee
on suffrage reported back without recon-
mendation the proposition to submit woman
suffrage as aseparate proposition. A motion
to adopt was lost on a tie vote. A PROPOSE

election takes place. Thus Helena remains
the capital until the election 1892.

IA LAND OF PROMISE.
Conservative Statement Of the
Value of the Opened Sioux
Reservation.
Nature~'6f the Soil, Trend of the
Wafer Courses, GrOwths
of Timber.

The Great Sioux reservation lies between
43 deg. 80 min. and 46 deg 10 min,
bounded by the Missouri river on tue east
and extending to the South Dakota line on
the west, and south embracing all west OF
the MissanFf river and south OF the Cannon
RalL except the Black Hills territory,
ceded in 1875 In all there are nearly
twenty-one million acres In this described
territory. ';0f this great body of land the
Indians have by recent treaty consented to
cede to the government nearly One-half, or
according to tho best computations, abous
nine million acres Of land The opening OF
this vast territory to settlement will un-
doubtedly cause an extensive emigration,
the home seekers from: all parts of the East
coming here to make a home and
acquire a quarter-sectlon or land.
Under the terms of the treaty by which the
Indians cede this land, all settlers coming
into the territory and filing upon this land.
within three years of the proclamation which
declares this land open for settlement, must
pay for it at the rate of $1.25 per acre, and
no one will be allowed to file upon more
than 16O acres The portion of the reserva-
ton ceded lies to the south of the Cheyenne
river and north OF the White river, and a
narrow strip of land, as shown by
the map, lying to the north of the
| Belle Fouche river in the territory
ceded by the treaty of 1876. Within this
territory are found variety of soils, adapted
for the various purposes, farming, grazing
and possibly mining, though as yet nothing
has ever been done in the way of develop
ing the lands The purpose of this article
will be to show what may be found and
where most easily obtained. The land will
| be most easily accessible from the points
where the railroads touch the Missouri river,
and from far-out sections along the Elkhorn
| Valley railroad in tie Black Hills The near
| est approaches to the reservation by rail are
at Chamberlain and Pierre in Dakota.
| Crossing the river at Chamberlain one
| finds himself in the midst of fine grove of
cotton wood timber, extending in barrow

Pumping the Murderer Burke.

5 States Attorney Longenecker, Chief Hub
bard and other police officials, together with
half dozen friends of DIR. Cronin, held a
private conference at Chicago. The subject
of the visit could not be learned, but it was
rumored that it had something to to with
Burke's alleged promise to reveal what he
knows about the crime. None of the officials
would confirm this, however. Burke was
shown O letter from his mother in Ireland to-
day. AS he readit his frame shook violently,
and he cried like a child. When Burke had
finished he threw himself upon the floor of
the cell. 1t is said that Chief McRae OF
Winnipeg will be one of the witnesses at the
trial ofBurke and the others; that McRae won
Burke's confidence, and, at Burke's request,
accom- panied him 20 the United States bound
ary on the journey from Winnipeg to Chicago;
that at mis- further request, he was left alone
with McRae for fifteen minutes, during which
he emadeimp mportant admissions The authOri-
ties here are confident that he will event.
ually confess. Said States Attorney
Longnecker to-day: 81 do not think he can
hold out against the unavoidable prospect
of execution for this murder. l think he will
confess. l am certain that Burke is one
of the men who actually killed Cronin, and
nothing in the world can save him from the
gallows-except juror who would not hang
anybody. With all the evidence we have
against Bruke, and there is
far more than has been published
there is no escape for him. And he will drag
down the others with him also. When you
take the part Burke played in the conspiracy
and the part Coughlin took, and what Beggt
did and how O'Sullivan helped, there is az
clear a case as was ever made out. There
is no escape. We have evidence that cannot
be controverted. Burke is SO guilty, and VIC
have such absolute proof of his being one o
the men who butchered Cronin, that we are
| 10th to accept any confession from him. He
deserves to hang, and l think he ought to bt
hanged unless his evidence should be abso
lutely necessary to convict more important
| criminals.

riot occurred at the Hecla works, owned
by William Thaw, at Greensb burg Pa. Three
men were fatally injured About seven hun
dred men went there from the Mammoth works
and askedthe mon at workto quit, Upon their
refusal, the drunken mob assaulted and beat
them terribly. The coal wagons were thrown
down the shafts; the windows in the houses
flying stone and was badly injured; one man
was struck by pick, the blade of which
passed through his shoulder; another had q
leg broken and a Hungarian had his skull
fractured. sherrif1's posse left for the
place, but upon their arrival at Hecla the
mob had fed. The damage to property is
great. 1t is probable that at least three of
the injured will die.
A terrible encounter occurred at Otter
Creek, twenty miles north of Frankfort,
Mich, in which Charles II. Wright president
of the Otter Greek Lumber company, of Ra-
cine, Wis, shot and instantly killed Under
Sheriff Neal Marshall and DR.. Frank E. Thur
ber. 1t seems that Wright had not paid the
taxes on his mill property at Aral Lake town
ship for several years, and had suit with
the township in regard to it, Sometime ago
Wright tried to replevin them but could not
get the proper bonds, and his mill lay idle
for want of logs to cut. 1t is thought that
Wright, with a force OF men, attempted to
gain possession, and in the melee Supervisor
Thurber was killed first and Marshal soon
after. 1t is Iumored that over sixty men
were engaged in the fray, and there may
have been others wounded.

Gathering the Grain.

Wheat harvesting is now general through
out the Northwest In Southern Minnesota
and South Dakota the grain is practically all
taken care of, and threshing is under way at
many points In the middle section, and all
the way from St Paul to breckenridge, the
wheat is in the stack; in the Red river valley
and the more northern counties the farmers
are cutting their grain. The returns that
have come in from the sections where
threshing is under way are almost uniformly
favorable, and indicate q larger crop than
has been anticipated, while at the same
time the berry as rule will take the No:
grades. This is true even in localities where
the straw is very short There has been rain
during the week over large areas of the
grain-growing section, but Its only effect
has been to interrupt the harvest for a
short time, not enough water having
fallen TO do any injury to the wheat
that is in the shock. Glowing reports con-
tinue to come from all over Southern Min
nesota, there being many fields in that Sec
ton that are turning out ayield of % to 80
bushels per acre of the best quality. Such
fields are, of course, exceptional, but there
are great many of them scattered through
the southern counties, and the general aver
age of yield will be large. In the more
northerly sections there have been many
surprises, some farmers finding that they
have twice the amount of grain they had
counted on. The best report comes from
Hutchinson. George NJ. Haines hast just
harvested field which turns out 80 bushels
to the acre, all No. hard wheat, and
he writes to friends in this city
that all through that section, especially
along the tinlber, there are fields that are
equally good. 1t is unnecessary to report
that the yield in Minnesota will be much
larger than last year. Reports from North
Dakota counties are changed only in the
fact that they have grown more favorable.
There will be thousands of farmers who will
harvest little or no wheat, but as things look
now the general average for the state will be
something above the previous estimate of o
two-thirds crop. South Dakota will have q
strong half-orop. IL will be necessary tc
wait until harvesting is further advanced
however, before estimates Of more definite
character can be obtained. Light frosts
were reported at various points dur
ing the week, but they caused nc
damage. A few localities, also, have been
