THE OPENING RACE.
Thankful and Schoolgirl Get the
Two Places.

Th first bell to saddle rang with the
same promptitude which has been ex-
hibited all through the meeting, and the
first getaway OF the day was equally
prompt. When the flag fell, Lizzie B.,
under Eilke, got the jump, and lit out a
length to the good of Alta, with Taral
up. Jou JGu was last from the post,
but made good running to the half, and
took fourth place at that point. In the
stretch Jou Jou had the lead, with Bally
getting all the speed there was in him
for the run home. Lizzie b was crack
ing along under severe punishment
from Eiike, at second place. Schoolgirl
was well up, but run to death, at third
place. Parkhill and Thankful, the lat
ter having been under pull until the
stretch, were two and half lengths be-
hind the leaders. The field was punched
five lengths to the rear, with Vivian,
Alta and Entry running neck and neck
After the turn into the stretch little
Ray stood up and brought down his whip
with swish, that could be heard in the
stand, upon the brown filly's shoulders,
sending her to second place. McLelen

STANDING Rock AGENCY, n. D..
July 29.-The scene at Standing Rock
this morning was inspiring. Six thou
sand Indians were present awaiting the
signal of the commission to open the
council, and the numerous whites who
are ANXIOUS to have the reservation
opened to settlement were lobbying
with the warriors, but apparently with
out effect. The commission met at IL
O'Clock this forenoon, at which time the
Indians were asked if they had eX-
amined the treaty and were prepared TO
say anything on the subject. John
Grass. who has been elected by the
Indians as chief spokesman, arose and
said that they had compared the
present proposed treaty with that sub
mltted last year and as for himself he
could not see anything in it that was
wanted or that would in anyway benefit
him and he would not sign. He said
that he understood the bill well enough
to know that it was not what the In
dians wanted and declared that it was
only those who knew nothing OF its de-
tails that would sign it. There were
MANY things that he was not pleased
with and concerning which would like
to ask some questions. He wanted to
know why it was that the Santees
were not excluded from the benefits of
this bill. He also wanted to know why
the $4,000 expenses of the commission
should be taken from the proceeds OF
the sale of the lands, and whether or
not the provisions of the the treaties of
1868 and 1876, with reference to school
ing of the Indian children, were still to
be carried out. The queries OF Grass
STUNNED THE COMMISSION
for the moment, but Maj. Warner made
very effective speech in reply. He said
that under the treaties of 1868 the
Santees originally had a share in this
reservation common with all the tribes
of the Sioux nation, but were after
wards removed to Nebraska. He told
them that the claims of the Santees
were just and right. They were SO
small, however, that they did not de-
serve serious consideration at their
hands. He also informed them that the
expenses of the commission wess+ -aet
be taken from the proceeds of. the sale
of the land, and promised them that
the provisions of the treaties OF 1865
and 1876 were still to be carried out, re-
gardless of the present treaty, and
further, that their rations and clothing
supply would be continued as now re-
gardlesS of the treaty.

NOT QUORUM PRESENT.
North Dakota Statesmen Are TAX
ing Rest.

BISMARCK, July 29.-This has been
another day of rest in the constitutional
convention. A quorum was not present
at roll call this afternoon. and the con-
vention adjourned without the transac-
tion of any business. The chairmen OF
the North and South Dakota commits
sions for the division of the territorial
property have been at work on the
basis decided upon by the joint COM
mission, and it is expected that the
work of the commission will be COM
pleted in a few days. The convention
will meet tomorrow afternoon, with
every member present, and big days
work is expected. Prohibition is max
ing no headway. Woman suffrage is
dead, and railroad taxation is the one
question which gives an opportunity
for fight. The railroads hope to pre-
serve the grosS-earnings system, and
some of the firmer members of the con-
vention oppose it. The fur will fly dur
ing the remainder of the week.

Oracle d took third place, with Cora
Fisher close upon her trail at fifth.
At the three-QuarteTS the positions were
Argenta in the lead by half a length,
Lotion second and hard worked, Oracle
d third, weary of life, Winning Ways
fourth, coming up, and the field three
lengths behind. In the stretch they
were Lotion first, Argenta second and
Winning Ways third. Warwick pun
ished his mount severely and took
position neck and neck with Cora
Fisher, with Ray in the saddle, the two
of them passing Lotion and Winning

POISONED BY HIS PARENTS.
A Missouri Lad Killed by Doctored
Coffee.

SPRINGFIELD, Mo-, July 29.-Luther
Genool, aged eighteen, died two weeks
ago from the effects of poison, which
lad been placed in his coffee at
breakfast. To-day the coroner's
jury rendered verdict hold
ing his stepfather and, mother,
Mr.. and Mrs. Fame, responsible
for his death. They were arrested,
and Mr.. Fame, in an interview to-
night with the sheriff, made confess
sion, in which he stated that he bought
the poison at his wife's request, who
placed it in her sons coffee. 1t was her
intention, he said, to poison the other
son, William, but fortunately he drank
no coffee on that morning. The motive
for the crime was Mrs. Fanne's desire
to get rid of her sons, who caused
trouble between herself and her hus-
band.

SWEPT BY STORM.
Wind and Rain Do Great Damage
in Arkansas.

LITTLE Rock, Ark, July 29.-The
Gazette specials tonight give the
damages wrought by destructive wind
and rain storms, which swept over this
section last night. At Clarksville the
streets were flooded. and the town
was in danger of being swept
away by the creek, which was out of
it's banks. Many people took to
the hills and did not return until after
daylight, when the stream had gone
down. All the creeks were out of their
banks, and overfiowing the bottoms adj
jacent, running the crops, and it is very
naturally supposed the Arkansas river
will overflow it's banks and ruin the
fine cotton crops in the bottom lands.
The river had risen fourteen feet in the
and and was Ga still rising, At At Fayetteville
about midnight the clouds seemed to
come up from every point Of the COM
pass and met over this city, where they
hung for three long hours. During that
time it is safe to say there were more
''timid women and brave men" in the
attitude of prayer than ever before in
Fayetteville. The fearfulness and
grandeur of the scene beggarS deScrip-
tion. There was not
VIVID FLASH OF LIGHTNING
followed by keen clap of thunder, but
one sheet followed another in such
rapid succession that they made the
heavens so bright as to be painful and
binding to the eye, while the reports of
thunder that followed appeared to
shake the very foundations of the earth.
1t was simply awful, and it is most re-
markable that continued thus for three
hours, during which time the rain fell in
torrents. The residences Of Moses
Mock, Moses Baum, j. V. Walker, Mrs.
E. E. Wade, Rev. N. M. Ragland, Judge
B. j. Brown, and the livery stable of
Kell & Hangen, in which one horse
was killed, were struck by lightning.
The large barn of Capt. Thomas Brooks,
editor of the Fayetteville Repub-
lican, was set on file and de-
stroyed, together with large
quantity of grain and five fine
horses. The residence of Thomas Hol-
land, three miles from here, was blown
to atoms, and that of E. Graham, in the
same neighborhood, was partly de-
stroyed. A number of streams are
higher to-day than ever before known.
The Frisco railroad bridge over the
White river is washed away, and crops
along the river are generally destroyed.
The loss to the farmers of this county
will be many thousand dollars.

CHICAGO, July 29.-The five men
under arrest here for the murder of
DR.. Cronin were brought into Judge
Horizons court this morning. Save
Burke and Cooney. all the indicted men
were there-Beggs. Coughlin, Wood
ruff, Kunze and O'Sullivan-but their

way, until Burke is brought
from Winnipeg, the states attorney
will insist upon continuance. Toward
Kunze the curiosity of the crowd was
directed more than to the other defend
ants. 1t was the first time the public
has been allowed to see him. He is of
medium height, slight build and ap-
pears to be about twenty-five years old.
His eyes are treacherously narrow, blue
and shifting. Judge Horton asked him

Attorney Longenecker says its for murder;

Beggs' attorney, objected to pleas being
required, as he desired to make mo-
ton to quash. He was seconded by A.
W. Browne, Woodruff's third attorney,
and 0. n. Carter, who appeared for
Coughlin in the absence OF Mr.. Forrest.
The judge entered motion to Quash
in the case of all except O'Sulli-
van. MesSrs. Davis and DOnO-
hue, attorneys for O'Sullivan,
filed petition for a change of venue
from Judge Horton and Judge Hawes,
alleging that their client could not have
fair and impartial trial before either
of them. The petition was supported
by the affidavits of j. Emmett Feas0n
and Lawrence P. Brown, who declared
it their belief that Judges Horton and
HaWes "are each of them so prejudiced
against Patric O'Sullivan that the said
defendant cannot have fair and impair
tial trial before either Of the said
Judges" States Attorney Longenecker
wanted to argue these motions at once.
The time fixed by Judge Horton was 10
O'Clock tomorrow.

which fee the bishop recently Or
dered collected at that service to
liquidate the debt on the parsonage.
Shackrow tried to crowd by the priest,
who was collecting the. feel and was
erected. The court ruled that the
bishop, who holds the deed to the
church property, had legal right to
impose fee for admission to the serv-
ices; that Shackrow disobeyed the de-
cree and tried to force an entrance into
the church and that the priest was
justified in using reasonable force to
eject him. Harrington was discharged.

Denver Is Smoked Out by Forest
Fires in Montana.

DENVER, Col. July 29.-During all of
yesterday and to-day heavy, smoky
atmosphere hung over Denver, giving
the sun the appearance of red ball of
fire, Information received from points
in this state and Wyoming, Northern
New Mexico and Western Kansas and
Nebraska, indicate that the same condi-
ton exists. AS it is too early for In
dian su MINER, the impression is that it
is caused by immense forest fires some
where in the Rocky mountains, proba-
bly, in Montana.
GUNNIsoN, Col. July 29.-"For two
or three days the mountains in this
vicinity have been ablaze with burning
timber. The fire was discovered Fri
day afternoon last, at the head of Lost
Gulch. To the north of the gulch the
fire was seen raging along the top of a
well-timbered mountain. The air was
dense with black smoke, and ON the fol-
lowing morning, as the sun rose, it
looked like ruby setting ina dark sky.
Yesterday afternoon the smoke was
again seen from the Marshall Pass dis
trict, and it was later learned from pas
sengers on the west-bound train that
the timber was afire below Shawne e.
1t is supposed to have been started from
sparks from passing locomotives"

HELENA, Mont, July 29.-The con-
ventiOn met at p. M, went into COM
mittee of the whole, and took up for
consideration the bill on executive de-

salaries should be fixed in the constitu-
tion, or it be made the power of the leg
lslature to fix officers compensation.
The motion was carried, leaving it to
the legislature for adjustment, as the
occasion demands. The salaries, as
specified, were: For governor.
$1,000; secretary, auditor, attorney
general and treasurer. each $4,000
yearly. An officials salary is not to be
increased during his term of office.
Richards moved that salaries should be
ample, thus giving poor men an even
chance of filling offices without personal
incumbrance. The efforts for reducing
salaries were defeated. The board of
pardons recommended to be established
was carried by thecOmmittee.
