iasm had to have vent, and one after
the another the orators relieved them.

the platform proper, exclusive OF tho
resolutions, was adopted by u rising

The resolution offered by him was brief
but TO the point 1t was:
Resolved, That we favor the abolition of
the liquor trafis.
Fifty orators clamored for recogni-
ton, but the first to succeed was Schil-
ling OF Wisconsin,. He declared him

opposed the discussion OF the question

voted down by the committee on plat.

Prohibition Not Wanted.

After an awful uproar tho prohibit
tion amendment was overwhelmingly
defeated. The resolutions were then
adopted with only three dissenting
votes.
The following resolution was intro
duced by Mason A. Green, OF Massa.
chusetts, in behalf OF the nationalists,
which was referred to the various re.
form bodies for their consideration.
Resolved, That when in the course Of
business consultations in the form OF
trusts or private syndicates is becomes
evident that any branch of commerce is
used for the behoof and profit of few
men at the expense of the general public,
we believe the people should assume
charge of such commerce through their
national, state or municip.e administra-
tion.

That Revenue Decision.

QUite stir has been created by tho
decision OF the supreme court declaring
two sections of the revenue law passed
by the last legislature void. The point
Is that these sections provided for the
deduction OF Indebtedness from persona
property and credits in making up the
assessment list and this the court ruled
was In conflict with the constitution,
which provides that all property. shall
bear the burden Of taxation sc9%slly.
The effect is that much OF the work Of
the assessors which has already been
done, will have TO be done over again.
Tho assessors commenced work the first
Of May and many OF them have finished
their work so that not little inconyen-
fence will be caused.
The revenue law is found to be not
the only faulty piece Of work that the
late Legislature did in its squabble TO
control the patronage and elect a United
States senator. The new school law
provides no means whatever for the
election OF directors in cities incorpora-
ted under tho general law. This is
found TO be grave complication in
nearly all the cities Of the state, they
being so incorporated. Shall the old
directors hold over? Shall the city
council call tho election? What shall
be done or what would be legal, no one
has found way out OF the dilemma so
far. But the Gordian knot is about to
be broken, as Governor Mellette has
called upon the supreme court for its
decision upon the point The Law in
other points was loosely drawn, but tho
various school officers are worrying
along with it.

General C. W. Van Wyc:s returned yes
terday from the Cincinnati convention
suffering from hoarseness and bad
cold. lie said it was great meeting
and the attendance was unusually large.
there being some ninety persons in at
tendance from Nebraska alone. Every
thing was harmonious and the platform
adopted seemed to meet with the hearty
approval OF all. II consider il the
coming party" said the general. II
cannot tell who is the most favorable
candidate for president; the time is too
far away. PETER might be the choice
now and perhaps not be in it two years
from now. The prohibitionists tried to
get plank in the platform. but they
did not succeed. 1t Is hard to tell now
what party they will turn to next"

Bel um's Peaceful Revolution.

BRUSSELS, May 20. The sudden col
lapse of tho governments opposition to
the suffrage agitation is the most re-
markablo event in Belgium since the
separation from Holland. 1t is
the first time in history that strike
was inaugurated TO effect purely poll
.ieal eAseese, and .aa sn.ise s.usaess s.t
effect in other lands than Belgium. The
country has been going through an un.
precedented social convulsion for some
months, and nothing but the surrender
of the government to the demand Of the
workingmen for the right to vote could
have averted revolution. The suffrage
in Belgium has been heretofore con-
fined to the propertied class and the
fact shat they had no representation In
pariianent gave tho Flemish working
men strong tend>ncy to the use OF vio-
lence. The great strike, which ex.
tended over the whole coal mining re-
gion and threatened to paralyze every in
dustry in the country, ended today. The
details OF the suffrage bill have yet to
be arranged.

HAueNsTEIN HANGED.
Tho Nebraska Murderer Meets a Horrible
Death--A Bungiing job.


BROKEN Bow, Neb., May 23.-The
execution of Albert Hauenstein, which
occurred here yesterday, was bungling
job The south door OF the court house
was thrown open at 1898 and those hold
ing tickets were admitted. Tho first man
who stepped out was old man Rotten, a
cousin of one OF the murdered men,
who, stepping upon the scaffold over
looking the enclosure, gave the signal,
at which the crowd rushed madly to
the enclosure and laid the south side
to the ground. The sheriffs fought
madly with the leaders, but before
they could force them back tho west
side was also down ana $500 anxious
people had full Wow OF tho scaffold.
The crowd was finally forced back and
Sheriff Jones mounted the scaffoid and
said: Gentlemen, you have violated
tho laws Of the state of Nebraska. Now
j want TO know IL you are willing to
keep outside OF the rope" A hundred
voices answered Yes, yesr' Every
man who is willing to do this hold up
your right hand" Every hand went up
amid cheers. The scaffold was 8 by l9
feet in size and in the center was the
trap In the center Of the trap door
was a cross drawn with lead pencil.
At exactly 1:04 the drop. fell. and
then ensued q scene revolving in tho
extreme. The rope which was used
was found to be too weak to hold the
weight OF the condemned man and when
nc fell it snapped, and gasping and
groaning he went through the trap to
the ground below.
The people wero there for an execu-
tion, however, and this incident, though
fearfully trying on nerves, did not
deter the sheriff more than momen-
tarily A new rope was procured as
soon as possible, and the sheriffs OF
other counties, who were present
for the purpose OF learning some
thing OF executions, fastened to con-
duct the unfortunate man up the scat
sold once more, where his pinions wero
once again adjusted and tho new rope
placed about his neck. But little time
was lost, although the excitement was
intense, and in few minutes the Sig
nal was given and once again Hauen-
STEMS body shot through the hole.
The drop was awaited with apprehen-
sion of another break, but this time
better provision had been made and the
body was caught up with a sudden jerk
which left no room for doubt that the
second trial was successful

Weather and Crops.

HURON, S. d., May 19.-The North
and South Dakota weather crop bulletin
issued from the United States signal
Office in this city. for the week ending
May -, is based upon reports from
seven counties in North Dakota and
twenty-three counties in South Dakota
sent to the Huron Office by authorized
observers in the two Dakotas. The con-
ditions are summarized as follows:
The rainfall during the week was
considerably below the average Only
few local showers, limited in extent,
occurred. While the growing crops are
generally reported looking we'll, some
localities need rain, and 1t would be
generally very beneficial. Notwith-
standing the dry winds and absence OF
rain, early sown small grain has made
satisfactory growth, and that injury BY
frost is rapidly recovering. The cool
nights have been favorable to the
"stooling," and much of that FROST
injured is reported better '.stooled"
than it probably would otherwise have
been.
Much Of the early planted corn in
South Dakota is reported sprouting
nicely. Flax-sowing is progressing
satisfactorily. Cutworms are becoming
troublesome in few localities.

Courts Come Thick.

The next term of United States court
convenes at Pierre on the 18th OF this
month, but as there is another venire
out for Sioux Falls on the 23d, 1t is not
likely that the session will be n very
long one. Since South Dakota became
a state there has been so much excite
ment in getting the house settled TO go
to housekeeping that tho people have
not paid as much attention to their at-
fairs as they will from now Oh. 1t is
being revealed that the present officers
Of the United States court are holding
all the business at Sioux Falls instead
of placing it where il belongs for the
various districts at Pierre, Deadwood
and Sioux Falls. They hayo done
this pretty much unobserved here

Sioux FALLS, ). d., May 10, Some
weeks ago 5. II. Elrod, a young lawyer
of Clark, was appoineed to disburse the
$500, 900 appropriated by congress for
the Indians in North and South Dakota.
He was obliged to give bond OF 81 200,
900, which he did, but several Of the
signers asked to withdraw, and he is
having serious trouble getting others
on his bond, though it is thought he
will succeed ia a few days. When
the first bond was completed,
He was ordered TO tho reservation to
make census OF every man, woman
and child on the reserve He completed
this in just seven days and found 1903
Indians entitled TO q proportionate
share OF the money given them. OF the
S503, 900, $4,000 goes to Wisconsin
half-breeds, those at Devils Lake and
Santee agency, all OF whom participated
in the Sioux massacre in the COS, and
when General Sibley called for volun-
teers. or the S376, 900 left each head OF
a family on the reserve receives S1G0
and each child $50.
The withdrawal OF the Watertown
bondsmen was simply for the reason
that the money was not to be distrib-
uted in Watertown. Their application
guest Mr. Elrod TO get another bond If
be could. His visit in Sioux Falls is
for the purpose of raising all the bond

The Trans-Mis.,.sippi Congress.

DENVER. May 22.--At the morning
session yesterday OF the trans Missis-
sippi congress representatives of tho
different sections urged the selection
Of their cities as the next place OF meet
ing. Omaha seemed to have many
friends The matter was not settled.
a large number of resolutions were
introduced favoring the Nicaragua and
lIcnnepin canals; urging the carly ad-
mission OF Arizona and New Mexico;
favoring the restriction OF immigration;
recommending the amend ment OF nat
uralization laws; favoring free coinage;
defenscs for deep water harbors and
navigablo rivers; the Torrey bankruptcy
bill. etc. Ex-Congrossman Beltord, Of
Colorado, made speech for free silver,
river and harbor improvements, etc.
The time was not far distant when the
clamor of the west would demand that
the nation give its attention 10 the de-
velopment OF the vests resources.
The committee asked further time for
the selection OF the next place OF meet
ing. 1t was not accepted, and the vote
resulted: Omaha, l44; New Orleans,
los. The announcement OF the selec-
tion of Omaha was received with
cheers.
Honorable G. G.. Simms spoke on
silver coinage The east, ho said, was
misled by pamphalets circulated by
eastern bankers. Free coinage would
break up their quarters of English COM
merce on the seas. Ex-Governor An
thony, OF Kansas, spoke against FREQ
coinage and Chairman Ferry for it.
At the evening session the committee
on resolutions mado two reports on the
silver resolution. The majority favors
the free coinage of silver, but limited
to tho American product. while the
minority favors FREQ and unlimited
coinage.
