THE DAKOTAS.
Tho Methodist Ministers Want an
Honest Election.

Sioux FALLS, Oak, July. lin the
constitutional convention 1t was pro-
posed to memorialze the president to
suspend mineral entries upon school
lands near large cities until the state Is
organized and can defend its rights
thereto in cases of fraud. There was. Il
strong opposition on the ground that the
ordinary operation of the law was sut-
licicnt to prevent such fraud and that to
ask the president to suspend an entire
class Of entries was equivalent to pc
titionng him to do the same
thing which resulted in such
bitter denunciation of Cleveland 5
Land Commissioner Sparks. Despite
these considerations, however, the me-
mortal was adopted by " vote of thirty
two to twcnty-ninc. All opposition to
the reference ofcvery part OF the consti-
tntiun of 1885 10 appropriate committees
was withdrawn, Notwithstanding the
strong opposition of the day previous. y
petition was received from the Methodist
Ministers Association of Southeastern
| Dakota, asking the convention to pro-
vide safeguards for an honest election on
/ the constitution; also that the vote on
state officers and temporary location OF
the state capital be taken at different
I times than that ON the constitution.

HORRIBLE TRAGEDY.
A Mother and Son Murdered and
Two Children Wounded.

was enacted in Somerville early this
morning. The victims are Mrs. Cath
crime smith, aged 10, her son, Thomas,
aged IA, and the pcrpetrator of the decd,
Augustus Raisenbcrg while two other
children of Mrs. Smith were injured, one
of whom will die. The murderer had
been living with Mrs. Smith about a
year as her husband, but the general be-
lief is that they were not married. II is
supposed quarrel over financial affairs
was the chief cause of the tragedy. They
lived upstairs over grocery store
which Mrs. Smith conducted. The
neighbors were aroused AT o'clock by a
number of pistol shots. Police entered
the front door and encountered the dead
body of Thomas Smith, who received a
wound probably upstairs and succeeded
in reaching the lower landing before
falling. He was the eldest OF the child
ren, of which there were five Mrs.
Smith was found in bed. The indica.
tions are that she was shot while asleep.
All the children slept In the attic. VII.
lie, aged IL, and Augustus, aged z, slept
together. The former was shot through
the body. The wound is probably fatal
Augustus was shot in the mouth and
recovery is possible. Charles, aged s.
was slightly wounded. He was In bed
with Mabel, year younger. Raisenberl
jumped from window after raccomplish
ing his bloody work, and was presumed
for some time to have escaped, but his
dead body was shortly afterwards founC
800 feet from the scene. There was M
wound and from froth at the mouth it /,
supposed he either died in fit or by

CHICAGO, July 1.-THE celebrated G..
A. Il, circular against the railroads was
formulated to-day and will be officially
promulgated tomorrow. 1t states that

of u large number of department COM
manders of the G.. 4. r., supplemented
by earnest appeals to railroad officials
the GAR. has failed to secure to theold
soldiers the customary rate of ] cent
per mile to the national encampment.
The circular rccitcs the fact that the rate
of ono cent per mile or less has recently
been granted To other organizations, and
states that the refusal of the railroads to
give this rate to the veterans Of the late
war l. an unjust discrimination against
the q. 4. X. Consequently the depart

ner of Riverside avenue and Washington
street, was awakened about ~ o'clock
last night by u noise at one of the front
windows, She hastcned to the window
when she saw Il man run out of the yard

that the screen had been torn. The
house is located right under the glare of
AN electric street light and it
was evidently u bold man that
attempted TO break in. An
alarm was turned in and. Chief Warren
and officer Gillespie went TO the house,
but could get no clue to the man.
\ thicf was also discovered prowling
around in the rear of the Windsor hotel
by Mr., Bailey about o'clock this morn

escaped. Captain Martin soon put in
an appearance, but no trace of the mid

The police are of the opinion that
these attempts were made by part of the
gang that usually precedes circus. The
force are all on the alert and are anxious

house OIL Main street, opposite the
Exchange hotel. Shortly thereafter the
fire extended to Kinks livery stable on
the right, Schubacher's lime and coal oil
warehouse on the left, but in spite Of tho
heroic efforts of the department, all were
consumed. The Exchange hotel. with
its two annexes, caught but was miracu-
lously saved. The old Nancy house
on Seventh street, rear ShGu'
bacher's warehouse, was. with
its contents also destroyed Gil
bert Hunts agricultural works were
with difficulty saved. Had the wind
continued high in the same direction as
when the fire broke out, many more
buildings would have been destroyed.
Owing TO the large amount of oil in
Schubacher's warehouse, the heat was
intense, and the iircmen for long time
could not approach close enough for eff
lectivc work. Total loss, about 5000;
Insurance. $4,000. The contlagration
was undoubtedly incendiary. a fire

On the 9TH of July REVIEW rcprcson-
tatiVc was met on the street by two
prominent members of the fire depart
ment, who proceeded to inform the
newspaper representative of an item OF
news, II commodity the REVIEW Is al
ways anxious to obtain from any and
every source. Both gentlemen Jointly
and severally proceeded 10 state that
the committee of the council had sent
oifthc order for the new fire apparatus,
amounting to $1,000. The two gentlemen
jointly and severally proceeded to dis
cuss the matter, and among other things
il was said that If the committee had
called for bids from various houses deal
ing in such articles they might have, at
least, saved the per cent usually allowed
ON such purchases, This matter was
spoken of freely and the impression was
created upon the mind of the represen.
tative of the press that the fire depart.
ment felt that it was not consulted upon
such matters as freely as 1t should be in
the interest of the service. In reporting
the matter of news here referred to the
REVIEW made incidental mention of the
statement that the committee might
have saved the commission if it
had seen tit to do so. Here
day, another street and another person
in the place of the two tiremen. This
time II is u councilman. He wants to
know if the REVIEW didn't get its infor.
nation with reference to the purchase Of
fire apparatus from Chief Witherspoon.
The representative of the REVIEW re-
piled that the information was received
from what appeared to be reliable in
formants. Hereupon the councilman
proceeds to give expressions on the SUBJ
ject and among other things states that
the council committee had bought tho
articles cheaper than they could have
been purchased from the house or firm
that the chief desired them to be pur-
chased from. And hece the scene shifts
again. This time the council chamber
looms up in majestic grandeur, and
upon motion oftMr. Bailey the members
present proceed summarily to censure
Chief Wi.horspoon for having done so
unusual n thing as to criticse the action
of the council, The chief states that IL
he had been present and had been given
an opportunity To speak in his own de-
fensc he would have denied the
charge. Perhaps tile councilman
who ventilated his views as
to the chief would have also proven an
alibi.
The full report of tho councils action
in this matter was written in tho
report of the proceedings and was in
type for the REVIEW of yesterday morn
ing, but the paragraph was accidentally
left out of the form in making up.b
Because of this accidental omission sew
eral counciImen were heard to express
dissatisfaction yesterday, Hence this
