BAD BUSIN ESS.

A piece of rascality came to light Sat-
urday. 1t seems that some person has
drawn up several checks, TO which he
forged w. T. Mills name. One of these
was on the First National bank for SIS
and was payable to Geo. Hamilton, and
was cashed at Sioux Falls. Another
was for $40 payable to John Hall, at the
Mankato National bank, and was cashed
at ]. A. Presley's store Wednesday.
The one PAYABLE to Hamilton was re-
ceived by the First National bank
through the mailSaturdav afternoon. The
police are searching for the forger, but
without much hope of success, as there
is no clue. 1t Is not known whether
any other checks have been passed.

Special to the Globe.
SIOUX FALLS, May 24.-The Illinois
Central road has just issued an illus
trated pamphlet, containing views and
write-ups of the various towns on the
road between Onawa. To-. and Sioux
Falls. This city is given a great
deal of attention in the book
many thousand copies of which,
have been struck off and scattered
to the four winds. The most noticeable
feature is the comment made on Sioux
Falls aspirations to be the capital of
the new state. The writer, who is a
representative of the road, heartily in
dorses the candidacy of Sioux Falls and
urges the peaple of South Dakota to To-
cate the seat of government at
what is now and always will
be the commercial metropolis of
South Dakota. The strong position
taken by this road is taken here as an
evidence that it regards Sioux Falls as
the most promising city of the coming
state, and that it is anxious to have the
capital located here, so when it's line is
extended, it can bring . grist
to its hopper at Sioux Falls. s.

which has agreed upon no more railroad
building in the Northwest this year,

Devils Lake City to Have 1t Sure,
as Reported at Washington.
Special to the Globe.
WASHINGTON, May 24.-One of the
visitors to the national capital during
the past week was James B. Eaton, of
Devils Lake, N. D. He is an active,
energetic gentleman. and was not here
altogether for his health; for his bride
accompanied him. He said: II am
not after Office, and no good devil from
the lake is after office. We are of one
mind at last. Democrats and Repub-
licans have come to the conclusion that
capital of North Dakota. There is no
politics in it, for it's pure business"
"What are your prospects for sue
eess?"
There are no such things as pros
poets out our way. We have dead GER
tainty on it. DEVILS lake is conceded
on all hands to be the best place for the
seat of government. We have the rich
est country in the world all around us.
Our population is increasing all the
time. We have water and rail trans
portation in all directions; and, as soon
as the capitol building is put up and
the statesmen begin to gather there, we
will have population of 100000 inhab-
itantS inside of two years. Nothing can
prevent Devils Lake becoming the me-
tropOliS of the Northwest anyway; but
when we get the capital we will boom
right along"
''Do others out there think as you do
about it?"
"Betcherlife. There isn't a man in
the town but what is a hustler and a
chief in the tribe of Hustlerville, where
he came from. We have concluded
that it is our business to stand together
on this matter, and discuss politics
afterwards. Outside of the capital
question l am Democrat and Hans
brough is Republican, but we are as
harmonious as doves on the capital
matter, That is the only way to get
there, and we are all Eli's. Why. there
Is Jim Hill, ready to give 100 acres of
the best land in the world, for the lOca-
lion of the capitol. We are all million
aires, in a liberal sense. That is, we
will give the best there is in us for the
prize"
Mr.. Eaton talked as though he had
become accustomed to his own story
and thoroughly believed it. Moreover,
he made his hearers here believe it.
Happy thought! Now is the time to
sell town lots in DEVILS lake. Why not
send Eaton on mission of that kind?
He'd make a good boomer.

Is HE ELIGIBLE?
That Is the Question as to the
Right of Judge Thomas.

Special to the Globe.
DEADwooD, s. D., May PA ques-
tion has been raised as to the eligibility
of Judge G. M. Thomas to sit as a men,
Der of the constitutional convention, he
being federal officer and holding the
position Of associate justice of the SUI
preme court of the territory. Judge
Thomas is a Kentucky Democrat, and
is very popular, as Is evidenced by the
fact Of his nomination and election by
large vote, and it would be serious
disappointment to his many friends if
it should turn out that he is ineligible.
The act of congress does not provide
any method of filling vacancies either,
and as there was no other can
didate in the field the Second
district of the Black Hills would
thus be left with but two representa-
tiyes in the convention. Legal opinion
here seems to be divided on the ques-
tion, some holding that the judge will
be ineligible SO long as he holds his
present judicial Office, while others hold
that it makes no difference if he is
