PREPARING FOR STATEHOOD.
The Howl Of Defeated North Dakota
Towns that Wanted the Capitol.

At Bismarck, North Dakota, the committee
on revision and adjustment has completed its
work, and a complete constitution will be SUBJ
mitted to the constitutional convention
today. 1t is hardly safe TO give a
synopsis Of the constitution at present,
as many amendments are recommended
by the committee, and in all proba-
bility will be adopted. Among these is
the recommendation to strike out the section
which provides that no corporation can black
list to prevent laborers from securing employ
ment The reason given for striking ont this
is that it conflicts with section 9 of the bill of
rights, which provides that every person shall
have the right freely to speak or the right to
his thoughts or opinions. The committee also
recommends the striking out of the section
providing for township organization, on the
ground that it il ambiguous and confusing.
A number Of delegates returned TO the city
yesterday and the convention viii reasonable
today. Those who return from jamestown
and Grand Forks, where indignation meetings
have been held because of the location Of the
public institutions. give amusing accounts of
the proceedings. At jamestown it was asserted
that Attorney General Nickins was the prime
mover in bringing about the indignation meet
ing and yet he had not word of censure after
the delegates arrived on the scene. He ar
rived here today and says that Bismarck has
always been his choice for the capitol pro-
vided jamestown could not get il. Matthews of
Grand Forks, who led the opposition to the
location of the institutions. says he never has
been for jamestown. believing that the capitol
should be at Grand Forks. These are the chief
points in North Dakota where indignation
meetings have been held and the only places
that agree in the fight against Bismarck II is
expected that large committees from these
places win arrive to attempt to change the vote
when il comes to the final adoption Of the con-
stitution, and some lively scenes may be wit
messed. As the articles locating the public In
situations have already been adopted by the
convention, and the motion TO reconsider has
been laid on the table, il is difficult TO see how
they expect another vote on il, unless the COM
mittee on revision recommends changes This
the committe will not do.
The Grand Forks people are evidently de-
ceived by the fact that the constitution il to
be acted upon by the convention after return
ing from the committee on revision.

SHE MARRIED AN INDIAN.
Chance for Other Washington Girls
on the Seneca Reservation.

Very few people in this city knew when Miss
Stella Cox left this city some time ago just
where she was going and why. The
news has at last reached here from
the Cattaraugus Indian reservation that
on the evening of July "a Iniss Cox, in
company with Nathaniel Patterson, full
blooded Seneca Indian, appeared before Justice
Parker in his Office at Versailles, N Y, and were
married. 1t was a quiet wedding, and only a
few friends were present to witness the simple
ceremony. The groom il we'll known among
his people and his white neighbors; they unite
in voting him an upright, honest, sober and
industrious Indian. He is farmer and owns
the best dapple-gray team upon the reserva-
ton.
CHANCE FOR OTHER WASHINGTON GIRLS.
Mr.. A. Sim Logan, late of the United States
Indian bureau, in writing of the affairs, re-
marks: eve have a few more young men to
spare If Washington should desire to send some
more of her daughters among the dusky
braves"
Miss Cox was employed for some time by
Lansburgh b Bro, and among her fellow en-
ployes has an excellent reputation. Her mother
and sister live in the city at 4O3 New Jersey

HORSE THIEVES AT WORK.
How They Conduct Their Operations
Four Recent Robberies In Maryland.

"Look out for horse thieves" Is the warning
sounded by the police. Almost every day Chief
Swindell of the detective corps receives tele-
gram from the surrounding country giving in
formation of horse stealing. Most Of the re-
cent robberies Of that kind have occurred in
Maryland. Horse thieves, the policemen say,
take more chances in several states than do
burglars who enter dwelling houses when the
inmates are asleep. This is particularly true
in some states, where horses seem to be more
highly priced than citizens.
HOW 1T Is DONE.
The horse thief usually works in the dark
hours of the night. Often he has TO break the
keeper on the door. Sometimes he secretes
himself in the hay-loft before shutdown and
then at late hour rides off with a horse In
order to avoid detection he often has secreted
in the country near by q saddle and perhaps a
pair of clippers. When he has his own saddle
he can hide the saddle taken from the stable so
that when description or the stolen property
is sent out the saddle at least will not corre-
spond with it. Then he must DESTROY the evil
dence that will lead to the identity Of the horse
TO do this he takes the animal TO an out-of-the-
way place and
THEN Uses THE CLIPPERS
Sometimes he will cut the name and tail and
thereby disfgure the animal to such an extent
that identity is rendered difficult. After the
animal has undergone that operation il is
driven to some place and sold if the officers do
not apprehend the thief before he manages to
pocket the money and escape. There is some
thing about the crime of horse stealing that
renders it more obnoxious to residents in the
rural district than ordinary breaches OF the
law, but Notwithstanding the fact that death
often stares the thief in the face he will enter
stable and run the chance Of being found
hanging over some rocky cliff with rope
around his neck.
FOUR MARYLAND HORSES MISSING
During the past week four horses have been
stolen from Maryland. A dispatch was received,
August from Gaithersburg, signed w. s. Caul-
field, giving information Of the larceny Of a
brown mare. The following day W. A. Fowler
telegraphed from Marlboro the description Of
a sorrel mare that was stolen from him The
next dispatch was received from Annapolis
Junction, conveying the intelligence that
horse and road cart were stolen from Irving
Park camp grounds Sunday night. Today a
dispatch was received from Mount Airy, Nd,
requesting the officers to look for a horse and
buggy that were stolen from David Burdette's,
Poplar springs.

Concerning the Weather.

Another day has passed without rain, although
the lowering clouds and the weather man
promise showers before many hours. The
high" has passed of very quickly
and is now conferred just of the coast 10 the
southeast Of this city, while two large lows"
have appeared west Of us, one centered in
Minnesota and the other on the Pacific slope.
The former can hardly pass without giving
this city the benefit Of some moisture, but the
second is liable to lose itself in the deserts west
Of the Mississippi.
The prediction today is for fair weather dur.
ing the day, followed by showers tonight and
tomorrow, with stationary temperature, except
a warmer spell in southwestern Virginia.
