Detective Doyle traced him TO G~reenville,
Conn. and arrested him. On the way
home, while handcuffed, he jumped from
the train, though it was moving at the
rate of forty miles an hour. He was not
much hurt, and was found in the adjoin-
ing woods after a two hours search. He
was sent to the p~enitentiary for four years.
After he came out he went West, and has
grown stout almost beyond recognition.
There is an indictment against him for
stabbing a man while attempting q bur-.
glary about a year and a half ago.

THE members of the new Cabinet
spent an hour and a half yesterday in
getting acquainted with each other.
1t had never occurred to them to do
this before, though there has been
plenty of time. 1t new would have
occurred to some of the more respect
able of the members, but Cabinets
make strange bedfellows.

the latter, the sooner they have a full

to throw obstacles in the way of their

Lovers of music who attended the
musicale at Professor Mollenhauer's
School of Music, last evening, were
much pleased with it. 1t was the 195d
musical soiree given by the school,
and was the equal of any given in the
past. The opening piece was an over
ture played on two pianos by Miss
Nellie Weiss, Miss Sadie Wedin,
Miss Lizzie Post and Miss Alice
Dickson. A violin duet was exquis-
itely played by Prof. Mollenhauer and
Isaac Goldenheim. Mrs. E. H. Bearse
sang Dreams with fine effect, and
Miss Paula Wertner played a beautiful
piano solo. Master Morris Krause
played a violin solo and vas loudly
applauded. A fine trio vas played by
Miss Nellie Weiss on the piano, and
Misses Bearse and M%ollenhauer on the
violin and organ. Misses Florence
Coleman, Carrie Lawyer and Christine
Bender and Master Freddie Ripp
played an eight-handed piece for two
pianos. The closing selection, apiano
solo, was played by Prot. Mollenhauer.

WAY 1T FIGHTS HIM.

The Huron papers are specially vim
dictive toward Congressman SPRINGER,
and keep fighting him right along since
the passage of the admission measure :,
with more bitterness than ever. This
may afford relief to partisan or local
feeling, but will also stimulate inquiry
as to the cause. This, the investigator
will soon conclude, has something to do
with the capital question. 1t was hoped
that the preliminary election would
be escaped, and the advantage of the
temporary organization secured to the
capital of the state that has been unable
to materialize the past three years. Now
there must be two fights, with no special
advantage to Huron. Still, it is not
good policy to make SPRINGER the tar
get for i'll luck or humor. The injustice
in it is so palpable that it will react
upon the assailant. The admission
measure could not have passed this
congress had SPRINGER been opposed.
Huron is one of the brightest and most
enterprising towns in the South, but
will need all the friends it can make
for the big capital fight. Tafy is better
than vinegar to catch tleS with.

THE SOUTH STATE.

The chief point in favor of the adop-
ton of the Sioux Falls constitution is
done away with by the admission act.
1t was expected that by the adoption
of that ready-made affair the state
could slip i'll little ahead of the North.
But not day will be gained in time by
taking the old work. The constitu-
tional convention must meet to revise
it, just the same; just the same number
of elections must be had, and the only
difference is that vote in its favor ties
the hands of the convention. so that
only routine specified changes can be
made. If there are improvements de-
sired in any feature they cannot be had.
1t must be swallowed entire at the
October vote, else long delay in state
hood. If it is voted down in May, the
constitutional convention can still
adopt it in substance. The vote in
October will be taken separately on the
constitution and the prohibition amend
ment. 1t will make no difference Oh
the prohibition question whether the
Sioux Falls constitution is voted I'D or
down. That will be matter to stand
or fall OH its individual merits.

ONE TOWN OPPOSED

There is one locality in Dakota that
would have passed a vote of thanks to
the president if he had vetoed the ad-
mission bill. That is Grafton. With
the defeat of the omnibus bill in the
closing congress, it would have left
room for the act being passed in the
Legislature that gave Grafton the con-
stitutional convention, which now goes
to Bismarck. 1t was like taking away
the nice dish from the hungry man after
he lad caught the delicious aroma.
Grafton had made plucky and dashing
fight in the legislature, and won over
even Fargo as its opponent-and it gets
only the smell. 1t, however, has tine
reputation won of being town big,
HBaucy and brainy enough to stand up
before any bigger town, and has become
R good deal better known generally than
before. 1t can still make fight for the
capital, or some other state institution,
and sympathize with Fargo if the good
things slip through their hands at last.
But the state will now be secured
months, and perhaps year, sooner than

stead of being the sinner; the boy was
elevated to the position by the judge of
a living martyr; the judge let his DO
eetic soul get the better OF him, and
pictured the aborigine as he was sup
posed to have been III the halcyon days
of yore before the bad white man came
on the ground. The boy Fighter was
acquitted. The judge was so preju-
diced, and so cratic in his rulings in
regard to the testimony, that the jury
could do nothing else but bring in a
verdict of acquittal, though the case
was as much one of murder as could be
imagined. Fighters father and about
fifty members of
THE TRIBE HAVE SINCE DIED,
and to the Indian mind death has been
from no apparent cause. The red men
regard it as plague resulting from the
vengeance of the whites at the death of
one of their number. They think that
the white boys father is making medi-
cine, and as a result the ArickareeS are
being wiped off the face of the earth.
The sturdy Indian who prefers flour of
the Missouri brand at its price to the
better brand at higher price, desires
to keep away from the plague till the
vengeance OF the white man is APP
peaSed. He hopes that it will not re-
quire the death of all the Arickarees on
the reservation, but whether it does or
not, he concludes that he is better off
where he is rather than at Fort Ber-
thold. At the same time, the Indians
who are away from the reservation try
ing to avoid the force of the white
mans medicine, think that the Great
Father is letting them have mild win
ter, and that this mildness is for their
especial benefit as a compensation for
the undeserved alienation from their
homes,

THE SCHOOL FUND.

1t should not be presumed that the
admission Of states will at once relieve
the people from all taxation, even for
schools. 1t will take some time to get
round to the lands. The enabling act
provides that they shall not be sold for
less than $40 an acre, the interest on
the money only to be used. The bulk
of these lands will not sell at those fig
ureS until the country settles up good
deal more, but they can be rented in
the meantime. Still, the income will
fall good deal short of the require
ments for schools. There are 2,347, 76O
acres of school lands to be equally
divided between the two DakotaS. AS
they must be sold at public sale, some
will bring good deal more than the
$40, and the final aggregate will not be
less than S12,000,00O for each Dakota.
This may bring in an annual revenue
of Si50,000 perhaps, which will be a
large item. Then each is to have to
add to the school fund per cent of the
net income from sale of lands after
statehood. This will amount to some
thing, but perhaps not a great amount
after the Sioux lands are all taken out.

PROHIBS AT WORK.

The prohibition people in the South
do not mean to rely upon the fact that
they have had their hobby patched On
to the Sioux Falls constitution. That
may pull through or it may not. They
are to hold two days session at Huron
this month, to provide for forward
and comprehensive movement. There
will no doubt be a vote of the people of
the South on that proposition, and the
voting done there of late is not entirely
favorable. 1t will be remembered that
when the constitution was voted on
prohibition was run close, having but a
skin margin. The voting then was
mainly confined to Republicans, and
now the Democrats will put in votes
also. They are not supposed to be
quite solid for prohibition. Then the
cause has the disadvantage of having
been tried in a good many counties the
past year or two, and not in numerous
cases having given satisfaction. 1t will
not have walk-away this time. twill
need organization and work if it is to
get into the constitution of the real
state.
