PIERRE, S. D., March 22.-The cues
ton is being frequently asked. and still
remains unanswered: (which is the
greater cause of Pierre's present boom;
the prospective location of the state
capital here next fall or the opening of
the Sioux reservation" One would in
fer that the Sioux reservation had the
most to do with it, because there would
not be the great faith displayed in the
capital prospective throughout the new
state if it did not have a solid and sub
stantial backing brought to it through
the coming opening of vast tract of
100000 acres of land, of which, in the
nature of things, Pierre will have to be
the only gateway. Without the on
coming settlement of this great coun-
try, whose influx will be through Pierre,
her capital aspirations, though as good,
and many times better from the home
standpoint, would be but myth easily
dispelled by any winds of adversely
that might be turned in her direction.
Therefore the matter OF the location of
the capital itself is dependent and con-
tingent upon the opening of the reser-
walton, and the
RESERVATION IS GOING TO OPEN.

JAMESTOWN, n. D., March 222-The
special meeting of the Farmers ALI
ance which will be held at Casselton
March %, will be very important one.
The object of the meeting is to consult
Oh matters of interest to farmers, such
as the twine trust, and to prepare for
such action as may be necessary OF adj
visable with reference to the formation
and adoption of a constitution for North
Dakota. A similar meeting for South
Dakota will be held at Huron March 21.
At the Casselton meeting steps will be
taken to have the offices of the alli-
ance located at jamestown. and with
Hattering prospect of success. James
towns position as the geographical and
RAILROAD CENTER
makes it the natural distributing point
for North Dakota. The farmers pro-
pose to have voice in the election of
delegates to the two constitutional con-
ventionS. and to that end are already
organizing their forces and arranging
systematic plan of campaign. The al
lance is not any too we'll satisfied with
the work of the last legislature. MANY
of their pet bills were laid OH the shelf
with the plausible plea that 1--WE are
soon to become state, and it's no use
to meddie with these matters now.''
The alliance people will have a demand
or two to make of the constitutional
convention. and that is why they are in
tereSting themselves in the selection of
delegates. The principal point i'm
which they are interested is in seeing
that the document there formulated is
NOT TOO FAVORABLE
to railroads and corporations. In Suits
man county they have already held
public meeting and appointed com
mittee to call convention when the
boundaries of the district shall be an
nounced. This is one of the first things
10 which Gov. Mellette is expected to
direct his attention. The omnibus bill
provides that the division into districts
shall be made and the election ordered
by executive proclamation April ID.
1t is rather early for candidates bees.
but they are already buzZing in the bon
nets of a number of our prominet attor-
neys. 1t is quite likely that the Repub-
licans and Democrats will effect the
natural compromise which the minority
representation plan opens the way to
and only nominate one ticket, the Dem
Ocrats taking one delegate and conced-
ing the Republicans two. At least
there is good deal of talk to that eff
feet. AT the Farmers alliance meeting
Saturday it was suggested that it would
only be doing the square thing to di-
vide the delegates up and allow the
Democrats, Republicans and farmers
each to select one.

MILBANK, s. D., March 22.-The
principal feature of interest this week
in Milbank has been the term of dis
trict court. 1t is one year and a half
since we have had term, and large
calendar has accumulated. The Grim :
lnal calendar contained fourteen ''blind
pig" cases, brought about by the over

last fall in their enthusiasm to enforce
the local option law. When the
grand jury was drawn about TEN
days ago its complexion was
such as to convince every onei
that it would require very strong evil
dence to warrant any indictments
Upon the adjournment of court this
afternoon nine of the cases had BEEN
dismissed by the grand jury. and it Isl
fair to presume that the other five Wilt
likewise be thrown out. When COURT
opened on Tuesday morning Judgel
CrOfOot announced his intention of re-
naming until the calendar was cleared,
but at noon to-day he announced that

had contracted he would be obliged TO.

lie gives every evidence of high order
of judicial ability, and his rulings are
praised by all as being eminently fair.
THE OLD CONSTITUTION.
AS the time draws near when voters
will be called upon to decide for or
against the Sioux Falls constitution,
that instrument is receiving closer and
more careful attention and study. At
first Democrats were inclined to oppose
it, but the conviction is beginning to
dawn that the makeup of the constitu-
tional' convention will undoubtedly be
largely Republican, and that if the con-
stitution should be voted down there
will be little probability of the conven-
ton embodying the minority representa-
ton clause in new constitution. AS
the clause is one which will be advo-
Gated by Democrats, it is now thought
wiser to adopt the Sioux Falls constitu-
ton, in which event an opportunity will
be presented in October of voting upon
the minority clause with very bright
prospect of carrying it. While there
may be some few important matters
omitted from the Sioux Falls constitu-
ton, they can be added later ON by
amendments.

The Wells county people are very hot

Wellman also has a little deal to
square with Forster county people. He
introduced another bill to move the
place of holding court in the COvington
subdivision from that place to New
Rockford, his home. This bill also
failed to become a law. Wellman
claims that he introduced the latter bill
at the instigation of the other members
from this district, but that they played
him false when it came to the test and
left him to bear the brunt of the whole
deal. Wellman was one of the strong
men in the farmers combine, and was

through, but unfortunate with his local
measures

away, with all their needs. These and
many minor enterprises are already on
foot.an the boom goes steadily onward
and upward, as it has for the past four
weeks, in a way that gives no assurance
that it will abate one jot until Pierre
has planted herself on the firm founda-
ton of a great and leading city. This
boom has been virtually forced on
Pierre. 1t is not boom in the nature
OF the many wildcat. mushroom affairs
that have ploced the word in a suspi-
cious light in the past. This fact is
vouched for by the character of the in
veStOrS who are SWarming in. Thew
do not consist of the
SILK-STOCKING GENTRY
who usually figure in such affairs, from
the speculative quarters of the far East;
but rather three-fourths of those who
have come to Pierre to invest are Da-
kota men, from such towns princi-
pally as Sioux Falls, Aberdeen and
Yankton. They contain the cream of
Dakota's wealth and shrewdness, and
are led to Pierre to invest their means
from their chance of observation, which
deciphers the handwriting on the wall,
that Pierre is bound to be one of the
best, if not the leading city in South
Dakota, as we'll as its political, COM
mercial and financial center.
These facts are pungent, and account
for the acriminous spirit displayed to-
field, more notably Huron. Mitchell and
Redfield. The burden of their lament
