AERRElD's DISCOVERY.
The Lieutenant Governor Discovers Flaw
That May Cause Trouble.

That May Cause Trouble.
PIERRE, S. D., Feb. 9.-In looking up
parliamentary practice Lieutenant Cow
ernor Herreid discovered serious flaw
in the passage of the apportionment
bill of two years ago, by which mem
bership in the legislature was reduced
from 12o to So. The con-
stitution requires that every bill to be-
come law must on final passage have a
majority of all the members elect. This
bill originated in the senate. passed the
house with amendments, and the senate
concurred in the amendments by vote
of 92 to 13, which was a majority of
quorum, but one vote less than ma
jority of the members elect. This vote
OF concurrence is now construed as
a final passage of the bill and if SO the
act is Unconstitutional AMI void. The
matter has stirred up considerable ex-
torney-General Dollard and others not
one member legally holds his seat. 1t
is also doubtful what effect the dis
covery may have on the acts now being
passed. y
that the rcsubmissionists will use this
Ia" So prevent Lne passage OF the
threatened prohibitory legislation.
They will claim that the apportion-
ment being Irregular. it will require
sixty-three votes in the house and TWEEN
ty-three in the senate to pass meas
ure, or n majority of the members OBJ.
tanning in the last legislature. Rail-
road men are said to be considering
similar action. Most people discredit
the report that the prohibitionists have
obtained ample legal opinion that hav-
ing. once passed the senate by legal
majority the bill is sound.

DIsMAY. IN SOUTH DAKOTA.
Dollard insists That tho Legislators Is Not
49, aLegal Body,

PIERRE, S. d., Feb. s.--Interest still
continues in the question whether the
appropriation act of two years ago is
valid. Senator Dollard, the best posted
man in the senate, declares unreserv-
edly that the present legislature is not
legal and no acts are valid unless passed
by d majority of the members under
the former apportionment. If this
view is correct twill require SO votes
in the house instead of 40 and a rnani-
nous vote for the worlds fair bill. A
case will be made up and submitted to
the supreme court. If Dollnrd's IS opinion
is sustained no legislation can pass and
the Legislature two years hence will bs
chosen under the old law. The Petit
grew men claim this will be a great
to them.

eyes, nose, mouth, chin and forehead
shows the wonderful strength of the

the "Father of His Country" for his
portrait shows no attempt at ideaiism
as do those of Trumbull and Gilbert
Stuart, The face is thinner than the
face shown in the Stuart portrait and
some other portraits, for Washington,
when he sat for Rsmage, had
evidently not thoroughly recovered the
hesh he had lost in the illness which
came near costing the country the life
OF Its first president and its greatest
man. There has been some discussion
as to the color of Washingtoa's eyes.
The miniature shows them to have
been blue. The dress wo1n by the
general when the portrait was made
was his uniform as commander-in-chief
OF the continental army. the blue coat
with the lace coming around the high
black stock and falling over the front
OF his waistcoat- From the third but

tected back, the interior being filled
with rich nut-brown hair of fine tex.

whether this hnir was that of Washing
ton or came from the head Of Martha
Washington. Mrs. Norton G. Pope, of
brooklyn, has an old dairy of Washing
ton which once belonged to John
Allan. On the margin of this dairy,
under date of October IA. 1850, eleven
days after the first entry, regarding the
portrait, are the words: "Havc SAT to-
day for several hours for John
Ramage to finish miniature por-
trait of me which he is painting
for Mrs. Washington. a lock of my
dear lady's hair is to he placed in

writing, is the announcements: "The

Stewart, who was the widowed daugh-
ter of John Allan. Notwithstanding
this statement. Mr. Stabler tays he has
evidence to show that the hair came
from the head of Washington. The
hair is plated so as to form n mat, and
lying on it is golden monogram
formed of the two letters G and w.
These letters are the fac simile of tho
seal Washington used.

BooN., Ia, Feb. 0,-The family OF
Fred Grabenhorst, living five miles

again. but his seven-shooter missed fire
and Ross then went to clubbing Gru-
benhorst over the head. The farmer
cried for help and his wife and
two daughters. school teach
to his assistance The elder girl
grabbed Ross by the wrist, while the
other, 1d years old, took the revolver
from him and began beating him over
the head with it. A terrible struggle
ensued. The mother was thrown clear
over u fence, but the two girls finally
overpowered Ross and bound him fast
with rope. He was taken into the
house and the youngest girl guarded
him while the other went to the
neighbors for help. Ross was
then brought to this city and
lodged in jail. He came here from Des
Moines about two weeks ago and claims
that his home is in Pennsylvania. He
says thatitwo other hard characters.

New YORK, Feb. 0.-The hoopskirt
has 1. defender in the person of Ward
McAllister. The leader of the 400 was
asked his opinion of the crinoline.
"From what have read and been
told,' said Mr.. McAllister, II have no
doubt that we are going to see crino.
lines here again in the spring. The
decree OF fashion seems to have gone
forth and there is no gainsaying it. 1t
would be- easier to oppose a ukase of
the czar Of all the Russias. The crino-
line has many good points. 1t is, above
all, modest. 1t conceals the figure from
the waist down, and only the bust
can be offered for public inspection.
The fiction that American young ladies
have no legs may be revived, il you like
to put it that way. We must, ut least,
take their possessions in this direction
on trust When say that the crino-
line will be an ally to lnodesty ex-
press the sentiments of q great many
elderly men and women who have been
shocked by the tight-fitting skirts
which some of our young women wear
in the streets. 1t is also hoped by these
people that some improvement will be
made IN the prevailing style i'll the
skirts Of riding habits. ] will not fur
ther particularize in this matter, but
anyone who has observed these things
will understand what mean. The
next point in favor OF the crinoline is
that it makes the waist look small
without necessitating the tight lacing.
1t is therefore graceful and modest.
To talk about 1T as nightmare and a
hideous excrescence, is nonsense. i
have very agreeable recollection of
the crinolines of my younger days.
When said that the crinoline would
be modest, you understand. had not
forgotten accidents which used to hap
pen in boisterous weather. But these
will not occur with well made crino-
lines, because they will be weighted
down so that the heaviest gale will not
cause embarrassment.

PINE RIDGE AeENcY, S. D.. Feb. -
A telegram has been received by Cap
lain Brown, Indian agent here, from
the foreman of the government beef
contractors, that he was at the beef
camp during the killing, but made his
escape. He states positively that the
four cowboys were killed ut this
agency. There is no reason given for
the killing. Everything points to a
willful and cruel murder. Fl
Adetachment A OF police was sent from
here to bring the bodies of the white
men to the agency, bit the friends OF
the murdered men refused to let tho
police have the remains, claiming thu I
they would attend to the burial them
selves. 1t has since been learned that
the four bodies were sent to Hermosa,
s. d.. yesterday.
Information has been received since
the engagement between the Indian
police and Two Sticks band tllatit WAS
owing to the firm and heroic stand that
Young g-Man-Afraid-o His-Horses took
that prevented another outbreak. No
Water, a chief in whose camp
the fight occurred, is q prime mover
among the ghost dancers and is one Of
the worst Indians on this reservation.
After the police had wounded Two
Sticks and his son and killed White
Face-Horse and another renegade In
dian, No Water few in a frenzy and
called on his followers to avenge tho
killing and wounding Of Two Sticks
and his son.
1t was at this stage that YSsng-Nian-
Afraid-of-His-Horses showed tact and
good generalship. He hurriedly got
his band together and marched his
people between the police and No
Waters followers, and in this way pre-
vented another Indian war.
The government officials here have
submitted to the secretary of the inter
ior full account of Young Man-Afraid-
of-His- Horses actions In the matter,
and recommended that some fitting tes-
timonial be given him.. Sergeant Joe
Bush and Sitting Bear have also been
recommended for promotion for meri-
torious service.
A courier from the camp reports that
Two Sticks and his sons returned two
or three hours after killing the cow
boys and took all the bed clothing in
the camp and stole what food was in
Nyht.

A sensat'onal chaypa.

Sioux FALLS, S. D., Feb. "a little
sensation was created here by the
charge, made by Walter Fawcctt, at.
torney for the defendant in the famous
Pollock divorce case, that Judge +. R.
Aikens had refused to sign the bill Of
exceptions because the parties inter
ested in the defense had charged that
the judge had accepted large bribe
to grant the divorce: that the dcfend-
ant was not given a fair trial and that
oil the judges rulings favored the
plaintiff. Fawcett stated in local
paper that the supreme court might be
asked to compel Judge Aikens to sign
the bill. The facts of the caseare that
Fawcett should have served his blank
order for q hearing on the bill six
months ago. He neglected the matter
and has not yet applied to the judge
for Reinstatement. Judge Aikens'
friends are very indignant at Faw-
cetts break.

The Typographical union is working
TO secure !. pardon for the wronged

for success. A letter has been received
from Lawyer Wilson, of Hot Springs,
the prosecuting attorney who was so

that in his opinion Hebb was victim
OF an unfortunate accident. He volun-

The senator has interviewed the gov.

the facts are as the union represents
them to be, he has no doubt thut
pardon will be granted.
The penitentiary officers here claim
that there is not more trustworthy

is allowed everything but absolute
freedom and never has abused his priv.
ileges in the least. And they are
anxious that a pardon be granted, be-
lieving that it is fully deserved.
