on the resolution Of Companion Capt.
Judsou N. Cross in regard to Mayor
Andrew Jackson Sweeney, the Com
panlon Capt. Ell Torrance, state COM
mander OF the Grand Army Of the Re-
public OF Minnesota, said;
Commander:-I rise to second the
motion to adopt the resolution just
read. In 1851, when the stars seemed
to be disappearing from our cOuntry's
flag, West Virginia was the first state
to place a new star in the constellation
OF the Union. II should ask you who
laid the foundations OF this loyal COM
monwealth, some might answer that
It was General Mcclellan and the boys
in blue; others, that 1t was Francis
Pierpont, the first governor of the state,
and others would claim that the honor
belonged to the Union leaders Of that
Switzerland OF the Central states. All
these answers would. In part, be true,
but without the brave and patriotic
stand taken by this modest hero at the
very beginning of the strife. 1t might
have been Impossible for those who
followed after to have placed the state
under the nag OF liberty. To Andrew
Jackson Sweeney we and our children
shall forever remain debtors, and In
honor OF the memory Of this loyal Vlr-
gInian who though dead. yet speaketh,
and being deadts yet lovingly spoken
OF. most heartily second the adoption
of the resolution,

And Whereas, That noble Virginlan

Death of Black Hills Pioneer Causes
Many CompIicntions.

LEAD CITY, S. D., Nov. 19.-(Special
Telegram 1.-THE funeral of the late Brad
c. Wood occurred today at Central City, a
mining town three miles north OF here.
Woods death was the result OF an acci-
dent received election night. While acting
as peace officer, a drunken man showed him
off the sidewalk fracturing the bones in
the shoulder. Blood poison eventually set
in, causing death few DAYS later. Wood
was an early settler in the Black Hills,
coming from Montana in 1870. He was
elected, with the rest of the fusion ticket,
to the Office OF assessor of Lawrence county
at the last election. The position pays
sl,75O a year. The present republican in
cumbent has sgnified his intention of hold
ing over, on the ground that the vacancy
cannot be filled by appointment, but must
be filled at the next general election. The
county board will be fusion, and its mem
bers served notice that they will make
the appointment. The matter gives promise
of getting into the courts. a strange CO.
incidence is that Woods opponent in the
campaign. James Tullock, the republican
nominee. fell down a prospect hole a dark
night a few weeks prior to the election
and was found dead the following day.

HOW THE LIQUOR LAW STANDS.
Repeal of the south Dakota Law
Cnuses Some Confusion.

PIERRE, S D., Nov. 19.-(Special)-
There seems to be a great deal of discus
sion as to the effect Of the vote on the pro-
hibitory amendment to the constitution
which has just carried. great many ad-
vance the theory that the repeal of the con-
stitutonal provision repeals the law which
was passed to enforce its provisions. II
is not likely that any court would give II
any such construction, as there is nothing
in the constitution which could be con-
strued iIto preventing the legislature pass
ing prohibitory law without any constitu-
tional provision on the question, and there
is no reason why the present law should
not have the same force and effect that il
ever had. Unless the coming legislature
desires to pass other legislation regulating
the sale of liquor there is no reason why
the present statute should not remain.
Neither does the repeal of constitutional
prohibition prevent the passage OF even
more stringent prohibitory statutes than the
one now OF the books. The next legisla-
ture may see fit TO leave the matter just
where II is and make no change whatever
