Important Constitutional Amendment.

Important Constitutional Amendment.
An important change in the manner
of ths collection OF taxes is to be sub
mitted to the people of South Dakota
at the election ext year. At present
all taxes of every character are COL
lected by the county treasur r OF each
county and by that officer disbursed
TO the several towns and districts.
The new proposition is to have all
taxes co !ected by the township and
city t~reasurers. The change is prob
ably founded upon the traditions OF
many citizens rather than upon any
real necessity. Very many South
Dakota people are natl, es of Michi.
gan ard Wisconsin, where the town
ship plan prevails. Naturally they
prefer the system TO which they have
been accustomed In practice the
county plan is least expensive, while.
it is claimed that under the township
scheme the collections are made much
more promptly, and that fewer tran.
sients are allowed to escape wit out
first contributing to the public treas
ury.

Whites Must yacate.

Indian Agent Treon of the Lower
Bruls and Crow Creek agencies, has
notified the settlers on what is known
as the Bob Tail Crow Indian allot-
ment that they must vacate in &C
lands west ofChamberlain and consists
cordance with instructions from the
Indian bureau. The land is situated
on White river, in the coded Sioux
of a trife over 1000 acres. The land
is mostly, good bottom land. 1t was
allotted to Bob Tail Crow and his
children some years ago. Some white
settlers entered contest proceedings
to have allotment conceded, but were
beaten by the local office, the COM
mis- ioner OF general land office and the
secretary Of the interior. The whites,
five or six In number, have resided on
the land during the time the contest
proceedings were pending, and since,
still being there at this time. They
expected to win the land and have
made valuable improvements there
on. When notified to vacate they
asked to be permitted to remain
there until spricg and it is probable
that tUeir request will be granted by
The Indian department.

CONDITION OF TRADE.
Business Outlook Continues to BE En-

Business Outlook Continues to BE En-
courasing in Every Quarter.
New YORK, July Pr. G. Dun &
Co.'S weekly review of trade says: 1t
is not the season for the tide of bust
ness to rise, but there is not perceived
scarcely any shrinkage except that
which will come naturally with mid
summer heat. The volume of new
business is small compared with recent
months, but large enough to encour-
age more openings of long closed
works, and more advances in returns
to labor. Important strikes show that
the advance is not enough for some,
but the strikers seem not more threat
ening than a week ago.
Accounts of shrinkage in the yield
of wheat come from both Pacific states
and from the Dakotas. 1t would be
strange and unnatural July without
such reports, and yet they have weight
enough this year to lead even the most
experienced to reduce somewhat their
estimate of yield, while the price has
advanced three and one-fOurth cents.
Light Western receipts for the week
were not third of last years, and for
four weeks only 5,366,O63 bushels,
against 1i,9o3,619 bushels last year,
strengthen adverse reports, because
the price year ago was about 90
cents lower than it is now. The West
ern movement largely depends on the
export demand, which is phenomin-
ally light, Atlantic shipments for
the week having been-four in
cluded-only 61l, 56l bushels, against
3,Sls,996 last year, and for four weeks
only 3,5OO,5S9, against 9,S65.722 last
year. Corn advanced 1 cent with
wheat, but has since lost all of the
gain. Cotton has remained unchanged
at cents, although the latest reports
favor larger estimates of the yield,
circular by Neill going much beyond
other figures.

Barnes Ridge, three miles west Of
Three States, the lightning struck
farmhouse, killing a man and wife
named Thomas. The wind came from
a western direction and with such ter.
rife force that it blew down a huge
smOkestack of the Three States Milling
company's mill. Fortunately, the
chimney fell lengthwise with the
building, doing no damage. The tor
nado literally cut swath through the
woods loo yards wide, uprooting trees
and in some instances carrying them
