Major j. A. Picker, representative from
South Dakota, thinks the chances Of carry
ing the suffrage amendment in that state
are excellent. He has thus epitomized the
facts Gu which he bases his conclusions:
''That there are a large number of lunar
state and acquired government land under
the pre-emption and homestead laws, and
who are paying taxes without any repre-
sentation, and without any voice in the levy
ing taxes on their land. It is estimated
that one fifth of the land belongs to women.
The state is largely agricultural, and the
Farmers alliance, which is a very strong
organization. has declared with very few
dissenting votes for equal suffrage, and
many of its leaders will engage actively in
the work. Under the new state constitu-
ton adopted October LIST. 1889, women
already vote upon all school questions and
for all school officers. The prominent men
of the state are generally outspoken for
equal SUFFRAGE, and no prominent politi-
clan openly opposes 1t. The near prospect
of the enfranchisement of fifteen thousand
Indians makes it imperative that woman
suffrage be adopted now, before this new
element shall be admitted to participa-
ton in the state government. The news
papers of the state are generally friendly.

A Queer Transaction in Land and Poll
tics at the Levy Court.
The session of the Levy Court yester-
dav afternoon was enlivened by the dis
cussion incidental TO George Cooney's ap
pearance to vouch for Leroy j. French, a
Sixth warder After Cooney had been
sworn Mr. Wier asked him where his
property was located. He replied that he
had bought it from A. p. MCPHERSON John
son in the Ninth ward When the deed was
produced IL was found to be of property
obtained from Henry Q. Mahaify. which
Cooney said was 1880 feet. In reality It
was Is feet square and worth $25 Notary
Public Thomas Hanlon executed the deed
on Wednesday. Mr.. Cooney was
directed to return to-day.
The Mil Creek hundred Republicans
left off by Collector Reardon will be
placed on the lists and given five days in
which to pay their taxes.
At Levy Court this morning very little
business was done, except the transfer
ring of property. The levy courtmen be-
lieve that there is some crookedness in
the application Of George Cooney
as a voucher for Leroy ]. French of til
Sixth ward Cooney swore that he was
property holder, but when asked for his
deed left. In half an hour he returned
with a deed for property, purporting tc
have been purchased from Henry G.
Mahaffy.
The property was in the Ninth ward

II is situate in marsh land and at tbs
same rate would cost nearly $4,000 al
acre. As that property i
assessed at but $40 an acre, the Lev.
Court may take action to increase th
assessment
The deed was dated March 10, Wednes
day, when in reality the ink was hardl.

Hsnlon must have written that deed yes

for il.
It was not signed by Mrs Mahafy an

Cooney owned the property before b
received this deed, he will be liable f
