SIGNING THE DOCUMENT.

proof-reading and revising the Con-
stitution and in the afternoon the
members signed. Of the fifty-nine
members present all but P. J. Petty,
Of Boise, signed, he refusing to do
so.
sEvENTY-FIvE CENTS ON THE DOLLAR
Immediately after signing the
Constitution the members passed
to the Secretary's desk, signed the
pay roll, and received their certif-
Gates allowing them Sc per day and
20 cents per mile mileage. A grand
rush for the Boise City National
Bank, where the certificates brought
rs cents on the dollar, then ensued,
and the convention adjourned sine
die.
FINS.
The work of the Convention is
completed. The members have
scattered and the hall which so
lately rang with the eloquence of
patriotic Idahoans is hushed and
vacant; they have resumed their
accustomed duties in the beautiful
valleys and on the craggy noun
tain tops of Sunny Idaho; in the
mines and in the workshops, on
the bench and in the busy marts of
trade. The seed of Statehood has
been scattered far and near;
may it produce an overwhelming
harvest of votes for the Constitution
in November.
