THEY ERE SOURED
On Springer About the Capital
Matter as Viewed at Mitchell.


Special to the Globe.
Nit CHELL, S. d., March 15.-The pa
pers in the City on the Jim" have evil
IDENTIFY soured badly, very badly, on the
Hon. William Springer, they having
presented him with leather medal as
a reward for his services, displayed in
the admission of South Dakota, accom-
panying it with letter of presentation,
worded, evidently. for the purpose of
crushing Mr.. Springer by its would-be
sarcasm and to provoke praise
for itself. The shot has, however,
fell short of its mark, for the press
of the territory, without exception. are
severely criticiSing this action of HUI
ron's citizens as beng insulting in the
extreme to MIR. Springer, who has many
friends in the territory. Every citizen
of South Dakota knows that Huron pre-
sented the medal in spirit of childlike
disappointment and anger over its hui
initiating defeat in not being allowed TO
have its own selfish wishes prevail over
the desire of the entire state in regard to
the resubmission of the question of the
location of the temporary capital to the
people. Huron well knows that Mr.
Springer is one of the men who has
forced her to realize that Huron is in,
but does not include South Dakota, aud
she also vents her spleen in a way
which will cost her many of the few
votes she will poll in the capital fight.

THAT DRY FAILURE.

There can hardly he much real regret
I'm any quarter over the final failure of
the Patton ironclad temperance bill to
become a law over the veto of the GOV
ernOr. 1t was for some reason not to go
into operation until after the admission
of the states, and 1t would be somewhat
of novelty for territory to make laws
for state-two states at once, in fact,
with their operation deferred until the
states were born. If it was a good law,
it would seem as if the states would
prefer to do their own legislating OH so
important subject. Special pertinency
is given this view in connection with
the vote to be had on prohibition as an
amendment TO the constitution in the
South, in October, with probable SINH
lar action in the North. Public senti-
ment will coincide with the legislature
in sustaining the veto Of the governor.
When the vote on prohibition was mad

WHAT Is IN 1T?

The yehemence and unanimity ex-
hibited at the Huron convention this
week in favor Of the adoption of the
Sioux Falls constitution are evidence
that their hobby is believed to be some
how entwined with that instrument.
1t is part of it, adopted by narrow
vote three years ago; but as it is to be
ycted OH separately in October. what
ever the vote in May, it does not just
come to the perception of the normal
vision precisely how the matter is to be
affected. Perhaps the moral effect of a
decided expression in favor of an instru-
mcnt of which prohibition is feature
is counted on as something. How else
there is any advantage in favor of the
old instrument is not seen. The zeal
with which the prohibS are starting in
on their campaign will be likely to
carry their cause through. Still, it is
getting black eyes in the old parts of
the country land may be hit az in in the
Dakota ballot, as it was last fall. This
will be apt to make the May vote full
one.

Several smart residents of Huron

Congressman Springer, together with a
letter which indicates that their i'll
feeling toward the Illinois member is
occasioned by the provision III the omni-
bus bill for another vote for capital
location. There is no law to prohibit

fresh from sending message, even of
this kind, to MIR. Springer. but sense
of ordinary decency should have been

Special to the Globe
JAMESTOWN. Y. D., March 15.-Opin-
ions are divided as to what will be done
in the capital removal matter. few
thinking that the Northern Pacific may
use its influence against the submission
of any proposition to remove the capital
for fear that it may go Off the line of
the road altogether. The large majority.
however. believe that the question will
be submitted to the people, and that
jamestown will be selected by large
majority. They urge that jamestown
is not only near the geographical center
of North Dakota, but that she is the
center of population. .andlikely to remain
so for some time to come. jamestown
is also the railroad center, as there are
railroad lines running both north, south,
east and west. thus giving quick and
cheap communication with all parts of
the territory, such as is possessed by ne
other town. 1t is evident that neither
of the border towns, Grand Forks or
Fargo. can expect to get the capital, and
they could never keep it if they got it.
1t is argued that Fargo would sooner see
the capital at Jamestown than at Devils
Lake, while jamestown would, of course,
receive the unanimous, support of the
country north and south of here. At
present but little has been done toward
taking any definite action on the matter.

DAKOTA NIPS.

The Jamestown Alert, at one of the
presumptiye, if not actual homes of
Gov. PIERCE, and accepted as his per-
sonal organ, says the people there were
deeply panied at the final decision of
the governor not to accept the successor
ship of Gov. CHURCH, although willing
to serve as senator. The Alert says
the difficulty of its distinguished citi
zen is shared by others. 1t says: 1.-The
multiplicity of honors and Offices that
seem to come crowding upon our favor
ite statesmen, evidently so bewilders
them that they hardly know which to
select. 1t is like an amateur trying to
keep three balls in the air at once"

1t was novel cOnclu sion of the tax
matter by the legislature in enacting
the gross earnings at the close of the
session, after having repealed the act
on the subject at the beginning. OF
course. there were some changes and
variations from the points most OBJ
jected to. But, if it really puts 100000
into the treasury by next August, as
anticipated, that incident, falling into a
rayenously needy treasury. will cover
all novelties and peculiarities. The
money had to come from some quarter,
and if the railroads will pay it they will
have the opportunity.

Now that the legislature has ad
Sourned, the capital question will proba-
bly, begin to engage attention in the
North, as well as in the South. It's quite
possible that, owing to the location and
possession of a building suitable for use.
the temporary capital will be conceded
to Bismarck. This would make the
vote on the question next October free
from the exciting features of the South
state election. The question will then
go over 10 the first legislature, which
will probably convene in December
next, or a little later. Possibly, how
ever, the first session may be i'll No
yember, in order TO elect senators to be
ready at the meeting of congress the 1st
Of December. The governors of the
new states will be full. blown function
aries the moment the president issues
his proclamation announcing the adj
mission of the states, which should be
early III November, or as soon as he has
the certificates of the territorial officials
upon the voting and has had time to look
over the constitutions and proceedings
20 see that they have satisfied the law
in all particulars. 1t would not be dig
nified to be very hasty in this matter,
so that it may be presumed that it will
be nearly December before the official
gun is fired. If the legislature of the
state is not then in session. the gov
ernor can appoint two senators for the
time. This will be a nice little plum.
There are hardly any instances where
governor has chance to name two SEN
ators at once. 1t wouldn't matter if
they had the position but week or
two and the senate was not in session.
They would have both honor and pay.
But when the legislature meets at Bis
marck, next December or January, the
capital matter will be on hand. Bis
marck will have its chief advantage in
possession, and the fact that a building
has been partly. at least, paid for by the
people of the state. The riyalries Of
the other towns Will be in its favor. Its
weakness will be its frontier position as
regards population. Its geography is
rather favorable. A good many of the
small towns will be puzzled to raise
big purse to encourage the enterprise.
A successful canvass will take money.
1t is probable that the question will not
be definitely settled for some years.

DEADwooD. S. D., March Is. A novel
spectacle was witnessed here this week
and one calculated to strengthen the
fact that there is no accounting for
what strange things may turn up in
politics. The citizens of DeadMood
rendered Judge Moody banquet on his
return from Washington! 1t is true,
the idea originated with the board of
trade. and it was expressly stated that
the banquet was given the Judge for his
efforts in behalf of the territory and as
an advertisement for the town, but
there is no use of trying to conceal the
fact that some of the politicians who
have been fighting Judge Moody, in
season and out of season, for the last
four or five years took an active part in
the programme so as not to be left when
THE BAND WAGON
comes along. Here in Deadwood some
of the judges most bitter enemies live,
and the town has generally been against
him when it came to any local fight.
''DOwn old Moody" was the battle cry,
and in more elections than one in this
city, it has had the effect to snow him
under in the popular vote, but the rural
districts and surrounding towns always
came to the rescue and gave him the
victory.
The feeling against Judge Moody,
while probably just as strong as ever in
the same direction, has not been openly
expressed since his great fight for di-
vision and admission, and the fact that
he accomplished, or did very much to-
ward accomplishing these ends, is hay
ing the effect to put his enemies to con-
fusion. Had division failed then things
would undoubtedly have turned out
otherwise. But as it is, we may truly
say that Moody's admirers are increas-
ing and stand an excellent show to
gather up the plums of Office, for which
SO many are waiting. xs

Sioux FALLS, S. D., March 15.-At a
meeting of the Sioux Falls bar, held
about week ago, resolutions were
adopted paying the respects of the bar
to Judge John E. Garland and urging
him toreconsider mis- determination to
resign. Another meeting of the bar
was held this week, at which reply
was read from the judge, who returned
thanks for the Kind words Of the
bar, but who still insisted on his
resignation. The bar then selected
EX-Speaker FL. IL. Heith as It's candI-
date, the minutes of the meeting being
telegraphcd to the judicial department
at Washington. There were half score
of candidates, but Hr. Keith received a
majority of the votes Oh the first ballet.
He had just returned from the scene of
his victorious career at Bismarck and
the Endorsement voluntarily rendered
by the bar, was large compliment.
There is some question. however, as to
just how much this Endorsement is
worth. Judge {. l.. Palmer, who
from Washington, sat in the back of
the room smoking fragrant Havana,
and stroking his Apollo locks, smiling
meanwhile at the deliberations. Know
ing ones assert that the Judge already
has the refusal of the place
and that this Endorsement is
several days OF weeks behind
time. In case either of these gentle
men are appointed the district will
have a judge iii every way capable and
trustworthy. Judge Garland retires on
the 1St of April. He has made one of
the best judges this district has ever
had, and his retirement from the bench
has occasioned many regrets. He will
move at once to Bismarck, and it is
thought likely will be candidate of
the North Dakota Democracy for the
position of supreme Judge. 1t is GER

this week by the escape of Dougherty.
the train robber, and his confederates
from the county jail. Two Or three
weeks ago Wilson. one of the gang,
broke jail and after wandering about
half-Starved and frozen for several dayS
was recaptured. Dougherty was only
captured about month ago, and the
crime which these men stood charged
with was of sufficient gravity to warrant
a most vigilant guard against their
escape. ltis felt by every one that the
county authorities did not take the pre-
caution they should have done in this
matter. Of course the sheriff and his
posse are now securing the country for
their arrest, but MEN of the daring and
cunning of these undoubtedly have
friends who will assist them in making
their escape. and many predict that they
will never be reeaptured.
THE CHECKLIST PART
of the affair was the stealing Of the

onerS mounted one of the sheriff's
horses, and thereby made his escape
more certain, for with several hours
start of their pursuers they could be

could be made to catch them. One of

THE SNAKES CHARM.
Has 1t Really the Power to Fasct
nate Its Victims?


Concerning the power of snake to
charm birds and fowls, and even human
beings, there has always been doubt
and discussion. The Popular Science
Monthly recently printed some curious
anecdotes on the subject. Here is one
of them: A gentleman from Iowa SAYS
that one day, while going through his
poultry yard he noticed turkey-hen
with neck stretched to the utmost, eyes
distended and wings slightly raised,
gazing most intently upon some OBJ
ject upon the ground three or four
feet from where it stood. Watching
it for some moments he found that the
turkey moved slowly around the at
tracting object in circle, without With
drawing its gaze for moment. After it
had made full circle he approached to
havior, and found that the attracting
object was small striped snake, par
TALLY concealed by some small weeds;
and not until he touched itdid the tur-
key notice his presence, though ordin-
narily it would not permit him to APP
proach within two or three yards. Even
when driven away the turkey persisted
in returning and walking around in q
circle.
Other fowls were then driven in the
direction of the snake, and all ON CATCH
ing glimpse of it were strangely af-
fected. Finally, satisfied that the COLI
dition of the fowls OH seeing the reptile
was purely an objective one. the writer
took stick and approached the snake
to KILT. 1t was dead already, and
most noteworthy point of all-its head
was crushed out of all semblance to its
original shape and covered with dirt.
The conclusion the writer reached
was that small animals passed into
subjective or hypnotic condition On be-
ing suddenly brought in view of ser
pents, of which all animals, great and
small, appear to stand in dread. Accept
ing this, he says, we have the fascina-
ton of birds and small beasts as scien,
