BISMARCK, Oak, July 21.-The constitu-
tional convention has been given surprise
by the presentation of a complete constltu-
ton, which will be considered during the
present week.
This constitution has been prepared with
great care and after consultation with
some of the ablest constitutional lawyers
in the union. In many respects it is iden-
tical with the articles already introduced.
1t is compilation of the best provisions of
the constitutions of the different states and
the United States fitted to North Dakota.
With regard to taxation, it has no specific
provisions, embedying the Wisconsin con-
stitutional provision on this subject which
provides that the rate of taxation shall be
uniform upon property made subject to
taxation by the legislature, leaving the
power of regulating the method of taxation
with the legislature. 1t also provides that
the property of non-residents shall be
taxed at higher rate than that of residents.
1t gives the legislature power to fix pas
senger and freight rates on railroads
and transportation companies, the
rates to be reasonable, and the courts
to decide what are reasonable rates;
prohibiting the loaning of the credit of the
state to any association or corporation. 1t

First a Pigmy-Anon a Giant.

We are too apt to regard small ailment
much as we would some pigmy, unpleasant
Of aspect and prankish indeed, but incap-
able of serious mischief. We ignore the
fact that it grows prodigiously, strengthens
in proportion, and begets evil progeny. A
fit of indigestion, slight bilious attack,
sensations of unrest and languor when the
system should have heen braced by recent
sleep, unaccountable nervousness, inactiv
ity of the kidneys or bladder-what are
these but the precursors of obstinate and
serious bodily Disturbance! In either of
the above emergencies, common sense and
experience unite in indicating Hostetter's
Stomach Bitters as the best preventive.
Particularly should its use be prompt when
the languor, yawning, chilliness down the
back, and feverishnesS that precede a ma
larial attack, manifest themselves. Incip-
lent rheumatism grows apace. Don't neg
lectit. Sowith constipation and debility.

Governor Waterman'g Suit Dismissed.

CHICAGO, July 22.-Chief Justice Fuller
has dismissed the suit of Robert A. Water
man, governor of California, against P. NJ.
Alden, executor of mis- brothers James S.
Waterman's will, for want of evidence.
James S, Waterman was wealthy lumber
dealer at Sycamore, Ill. In 1888
Governor Waterman and his partner were
indebted to MIN for $4,000 as firm, and
after his death they paid the indebtedness
to his executor, P. M. Allen. They subse-
quently discovered clause in the will of
James Waterman, which was executed
eleven yerrs before, in which he expressly
released all Of the California indebt-
edness Of his brother, including that of the
California governor 10 him. Then Governor
Waterman filed bill against Executor
Alden for $4,000, which he had paid to him
in ignorance of the release clause in the
will. Chief Justice Fuller decided after
hearing all the evidence and carefully
perusing it that the release provision
applied only to personal obligations of the
deceased brother, and not to the firm in
debtedness. He decided that the governor
was not entitled to recover and dismissed

OLYMPIA, W. T., July 22.-In the conven
ton to-day, a telegram was read from ex-
Attorney General Williams saying that
Senator Stewart, of Nevada, would like to
deliver an address on irrigation and silver.
By strict party vote of % to an invita-
ton was extended to him, and he will
speak here tomorrow, though he will not
have much of an audience, as the conven-
ton is going to attend big clam bake ex-
tended by the local board of trade.
A petition was presented from the teach
ers asking for an educational test for
voters.
The report of the committee on county
and municipal government reported No
county shall be created with less than
10000 inhabitants, nor shall existing
counties be divided to leave less
than 1900 inhabitants in the old county
The debt is to be divided prorata except
for buildings that remain wholly in one of
the new counties created by any divisions,
but the rights of present creditors shall
not be impaired. 1t provides for the estab-
l shment of township governments and de
clares that all municipalities shall be
create by general laws, except in case of
mOrethan SiXty-fye thousand inhabitants,
which can elect sixty-five freeholders to
frame their charter. 1t shall be submitted
to vote of the people and if ratified, be-

county clerk and provides that except the
public administrator, surveyors and coro-
ners all officers shall be salaried officials,
only eligible for two successive
terms, and that their salaries
cannot be increased or their term of

The legislature shall have no power to i'm
pose taxes on counties, towns or municipal
iGies for local purposes; such power is
vested absolutely in the local authorities.
Dyer offered proposition that any pub
ic officer who accepted railroad pass
should be impeached and become ineligible
to reelection. This was received with
cries of ''poor oficial' and much laughter.
An effort was made to get vote on the
report favoring prohibition, but it was
postponed till Monday. 1t apparently has
no chance of passing.
1t is understood that the committee on
nun icipal Indebtedness has agreed to re-
port a clause forbidding debt of over 5
Ger cent. on the assessed valuation, except
in the case of two-thirds of the voters ask
ing it, when it can be increased to 10 per
cent. 1t is thought this will have the
effect to greatly increase the assessment of
property in localities needing money for
public purposes.

New York, July 22.-Mr. and Mrs. Har-
rison Power, of st. Louis, are the guests of
Mr.. and Mrs Charles HOyle at Bar Harbor,
Mr.. Power is general manager of the
Cheney Filter company St Louis. Mrs +.
Power is daughter of William Graham,
the Philadelphia millionaire, yet Mr. Power
has just emerged from the Toombs after
four months incarceration which reduced
his weight from 2lO to 165 younds. Frank
Cummings, vino pughim there, has abruptly
left town, saying he was going to Cali
fornia. Powers marriage was romantic,
Miss Graham, well known in New York
musical circles, came twice weekly from
Philadelphia and the handsome young
southerner met and married her with
out paternal consent a year ago
When going to St. Louis, Power
owed balance of about forty dollars to
Cummings, with whom he boarded, and
taking d number of checks drawn to the
order of Brown & Power, endorsed one
for |104.S0, and received the difference in
cash from Cummings. Eight weeks later
Power was arrested for obtaining money
legaladvice of Lawyer Fountlerov, famous
in connection with the MaXw ell-Preller
case, he gave bonds to appear in New York
for trial, and without the escort of an
officer and in company with his wife
started for this city. At Philadelphia Mrs
Power stopped over with her father till
the conclusion of the case. Power gave
himself up, and to hasten the trial went
to the Tombs. He had previously offered
Cummings the amount of the check, but it
was refused, Cummings vowing that moth
ing but Sing Sing would satisfy him. The
case was set down for trial a number of
times, but for some reason Cummings did
not appear. Finally, few days ago, Cum
mings announced his intention to Powers
attorney of going to California and said he
believed the prisoner was innocent and
could not be persuaded to stay and prose
cute. So great was his hurry to go that he
didn't have time to stop and get the amount
of q check. Judge Cowan on Friday dis
charged the prisoner. Freedom was a little
too much for him, and at the steps of the
Morse building Power tainted away.
Power is guest of the treasurer of the
company and will continue in the manage
ment and confidence of the concern.

The North Dakota Convention.

BISMARCK, Dakota, July 22.-Mr vii
liams' constitution, a synopsis of which
was given in the Associated Press dis
patches last night, is the subject of much
discussion. al who read it admit that that
the convention would not make any serious
mistake in adopting it, but it is not in har-
mCny with some Of the hobbies and must
therefore undergo amendment and demora-
ization, if notput entirely aside, for new
made document.
A number of proposed articles were in
troduced in the convention today, and it
was ordered that ell standing committees
be required to report by Thursday of the
present week. This is done to force the
convention to business.
The event of the day was the considera-
ton of resolution providing for single
body of the legislature. The leading
champion of the one house idea was Steav-
ems, of Ransom who delivered carefully
prepared speech. Rev. Ezra Turner, of
Bottineau, and Parsons, of Morton, also
spoke in favor of the one house plan. The
question was discussed in committee Of the
whole, but the committee rose without
reaching vote.

THE HERALD. THE report Of the COM
mittee on public Indebtedness and sub
sides was taken up aud discussed from 9
till 70 80 o'clock. The amount Of II per
cent. on the assessed valuation Of property
was finally agreed upon as the limit of the
amount of Indebtedness the state should
incur over and above the present debt
When the hour of noon recess arrived the
consideration of the report had not been
completed.
Upon reassembling at O'Clock, Mr.. Beat
tie, chairman, wanted to take up the ma
jority and minority reports of the suffrage
committee. This the Democrats opposed.
Beattie moved the previous question and
for time it looked as if the hour for the
bolt had arrived Chairman Claggett sug-
gested recess SO that the members could
cool off, and recess of twenty minutes
was taken. Reid Immediately announced a
Democratic caucus in the supreme court
room. The Republicans also held caucus.
In a little over an hour-both parties came
in and the Republicans granted all the
Democrats asked. A postponement was
taken until Thursday.
The difference in the two reports is that
while the Republicans report d1sfranchises
all members of the Mormon church, the
minority DISTINGUISHES only those who are
living in polygamy, bigamy or unlawful
cohabitation contrary to the law of the
state, or encourage other persons to do so.
The report of the committee on munich
palities was taken up and after striking
out two sections and otherwise amending
it, it was passed. All cities must be in
corporated under general law.
The report of the committee on edu-
cation and school and university lands was
considered. Three sections were passed
with but little discussion, but when the
fourth was reached, the question as to the
sale and rental Of the Idoho lands came up
and evoked a great deal of discussion,
pending which the convention took a recess
until tomorrow morning at 9 o'clock.
