at the table hereafter, if there are dozen
young men there.
Gainesville Tribune: A well authenti-
Gated report reached the Tribune office that
an apparition has been seen several times
lately near where Frank Sanders, the muir
derer, was lynched. 1t is said that strange
noises are heard and the most awful groans
that mortal man ever heard are heard IN the
woods and are unaccounted for by any line
of human reasoning. A short while ago an
apparently large fire was seen at distance
in the woods and a large crowd of small
children were seen dancing and playing
around il and having a merry time. The
fire appeared to be some 200 yards from
the road, and when those who saw it at
tempted to 60 to it, it would appear to
make q retreat through the woods and the
pursuer could never get nearer than he was
when be started to it. The children ap-
peared to be having perfect jubilee as they
were dancing and playing like so many
fairies, and having picnic in the woods by
fire light. After making the chase for some
time il was abandoned and the light was
left burning and the children were dancing
in their merry glee. 1t is said that hooting
owls are heard near the spot at all times Of
the night, and there is one heard almost
nightly that has q different voice from any
of the others, and one who once hears it is
impressed with the idea that il is a warn
ing of danger. Several colored people
have passed the place recently who have
seen something that had the appearance of
a gallows and a victim upon the scaffold
upon his knees making a confession and
several ministers around offering up PRAYER
for the culprit. 1t is said that J. II. Hilley,
who rented DIR. Breemans place last year,
near the place of the execution, left it on
account Of himself and family having seen
things which they could not account for,
and which they thought were supernatural,
and that its present tenant, j. 4. Crawford,
has also heard things near the place that
are shrouded in mystery to him. These re-
ports have become so general and are so
much believed by the colored people, that
those who come from up that road to town
always leave in time to pass the place of
the execution before nightfall. There is
something remarkable about these reports,
and tue Tribune will sound it to the
bottom aud find out whether there is any
thing in it or not 1t may be a delusion
and a creature of superstition, seen only by
those who have been taught to see ghosts
and who believe in their existence. The
stories are remarkable that are reported
from it, and are as probable as the one
that is reported from the western part of
this county about light having been there
for number Of years near where a muir
der was once committed. 1t seems that the
story of the light being seen Is well verified
and these from the place where Sanders
was lynched are undenied. These are
things that are unaccounted for and we
will not attempt any explanation.

North Dakota.

The constitutional convention was given
n genuine surprise on the 21st by the pre-
sentation of q complete constitution. This
constitution is said to have been prepared
with great care, aud after consultation wit
some Of the best constitutional lawyers il,
the Union. In many respects it is identi-
cal with articles already introduced in the
convention. It is a compilation of some
of the best provisions Of the constitu-
tions Of the different states and the United
States, fitted to North Dakota. With re-
gard to taxation it has no specific proyis-
ions, cmbodying the Wisconsin constitu.
tional provision IN this subject, which pro.
vides that the rule of taxation shall be
uniform upon property made subject TO
taxation by the legislature, leaving the
power Of regulating the method of taxa
ton with the legislature. 1t also provides
that the property of o residents shall
not bs taxed at a higher rate than that of
residents, allows the Legislature to liz the
passenger and freight rates OH railroads
and transportation companies, the rates to
be reasonable and the courts TO decide
what are reasonable rates. It prohibits

There was q full attendance

There was q full attendance ut
the session of tire convention on the 25th
and the report of the committee on legis-
lative apportionment was made the special
order. 1t was adopted without discussion.
The committee amended the Sioux Falls
constitution SO us to make the lands
granted for school purposes embrace the
$4,000 acres granted for the state capitol
fund. and tying up said grant SO it could
only be subject to the same restrictions
as were place upon the sale of school
lands. 1t was contended that this CON
vention has no right, under tie omnibus
bill. to SO amend the cons tuition, and
further, that granting the rig'.t, it would
lie injurious action to place any limitation
upon the disposal of this grant. which
was clearly made for the purpose of pro-
viding q state capitol. In this view tho
convention concurred by so amending the
Falls constitution.
The main feature OF the conventions
proceedings on the 2Gth was the consiiera-
ton of the report II the committee of
schedule and ordinance. A few days ago
q resolution was referred to the judiciary
committee asking its opinion US the power
of the convention to provide for the cleo
tion of u clerk Of the circuit court Mt the
October election. III such provision SEEM
ing to be made by tho omnibus bill. The
committee reported that in their judgment
the convention had such power. The
amendment was defeated aud therefore
4 after the election of the circuit judges in
October, the succeeding territorial Judges
andclerks of court, heretofore appointed
by territorial judges will vacate their offices
aud tho vacancy will be filed by the sever
al boards of county commissioners.
Another amendment to the schedule was
proposed, providing for u modified form
of the Australian system. Here again the
question of the powers of the convention
arises. The matter was under discussion
when the convention adjourned.
The debate on the ballot reform or Aus
traiian system, gave an opportunity for
speech making, which was evidently en-
joyed. At the evening session the debate
was esumed hotter than ever. It grew in
intensity and velocity until near II O'clock.
Finally Judge Carson, Of Deadwood,
spoke. Clearly and slowly he told the
convention that while it has undoubtedly
desirable to have every protection thrown
around the ballot box, the passage of this
piece of legislation was. to say the least,
of doubtful expediency. and this conven-
ton really could mo- afford to take tho
chances Of having the work destroyed for
the sake of an experiment in ballot reform.

On the Goth the convention met and ad.
journed without transacting any busine 50
whatever. About two-thirds of the re-
ports of standing committees have been
submitted.
just one-third of the delegates were
present at the ten minute session on tho
22nd. The only business presented was q
resolution instructing the joint committee
on the part of South Dakota taat in case
of any uncertaintainty as to tie location of
the seventh stannard parallel of the boun-
Diary line between the DakUtas, as fixed by
the omnibus bill, to come to the best pos
sible agreement with the commission of
North Dakota and report the same to this
convention.
The session of the 2Sd was freely Mt
tended and good progress was made. Ten
reports were adop ed and added to the fin
ished work. Among these was the article
ON exemptions. viii b Is as follows:
Tho right Of the debtor to enjoy the
comforts and Eecessuries of life shall be
recognized by wholesome laws exemptlng
from forced sale a ! omestea !, the value q
which shall be limited and defined by law
to al heads of families and u reasonable
amount of personal property, the kind and
value of which TO DO fixed by general laws.
The legislature, therefore, will determine

The committee on Legislative apportion-
mcnt reached an agreement on the sen to-
rial apportionment, by which the number
of districts is fixed Mt forty-one and sena-
tors at forty five; the latter being the limit
provided in the constitution. The arrange.
ment is practically i'll accord with the APP
portionmcnt agreed upon some time ago,
being one senator for every 1900 voters OF
major fraction thereof. The report of the
committee was not unanimous, standing
ID to o. The minority object to til It mum .
Der of senator's rs beng too great for the
pre- -ent population.
A long, sharp, pointed and for the most
part interesting debate occurred on the
lnittee on the superintendent of the jul
di i'll districts. The minority report con-
templated the putting of Beadie, Sphinx
and Brown counties into different circuits,
aud therefore recommended a different
formation of the third, fifth and sixth
~istricts. The majority report was, how
ever, adopted.
The committee on rules reported that
Certificates be issued to members and en-
pioves for per diem after the federal APP
propriation of $aO,00U become exhausted.
The other new reports submitted were
for submitting the minority representa-
separate articles. Also tho report of the
committee on revenue and finance.
Tho committee on Legislative apportion-
mcnt has made it's report. The senate is
given forty-five members and the house

county ut least II representative indepen-
lent of any other county aud as many
Mord as its v~ote-counting 600 voters or
major fraction thereof-will entitle it to.
