WEEKS HAPPENINGS
SOUTH DAKOTA EVENTS IN A
CONDENSED FORM.
Two Amendments to Constitution
Will Be Submitted at Fall Elcc.
tion-One Is Dispensary Repeal;
Other Relates to School Funds.

The secretary of state is sending out for
publication the two amendments to the
constitution which will be submitted to
the people at the coming election, where,
for the first time, it will be the duty of the
judges of election to call attention of every
voter to the ballot on the amendments, by
presenting each voter with a ticket con-
tanning the amendments.
The two amendments to be voted on are
the repeal of the %dispensary amendment,
which wa adopted two years ago, and an
amendment which gives greater latitude
in making loans of the permanent school
funds than was given in the constitution
when it was adopted. The latter will be
called forcibly to the attention of the peo-
pie by the recent act of the land commits
sioner in forcing the money on hand upon
the counties, and the former by the prohi-
bition and the liquor organizations of the
state. There will no doubt be a larger
vote polled on these amendments than or
any other presented to the people.

mined. 1t appears to be accepted that
some Of the powers will keep their r6ili-
tary forces in China, at least until all
questions growing out Of the crisis are
settled. This is expected to involve qnes-
tons, not only of money indemnity, but
Of territorial extension on the part OF
some of the European parties to the con-
troversy. It is not believed that the
United States will be a party to
any such territorial controversy, as
the declaration of Secretary Hay,
made at the beginning of the trou-
BILE, forecasted the purpose Of this Gov.
eminent to seek to preserve Chinese ter.
%ritorial and administrative entity.
There have been many changes in the
situation since that declaration was
made. and yet it seems to clearly indicate
that il territorial extension is of the
sequels to the crisis, the United States
will not be n party to it. Chinese officials
are apprehensive that a long period Of
diplomatic exchange may follow the
crisis, covering six months or a year, dur.
ing which Germany, France and some of
the other powers will keep armies on
Chinese soil to re-enforce extreme de-
mands Of money and territorial indem-
nifty. With China's present impotent con-
dition there appears to be no issue out Of
this long struggle but her eventually
yielding to the various demands.

RACE WAR IN GOTHAM.
Angry Mob seeks Vengeance ON New

Angry Mob Seeks Vengeance ON New
York Negroes.
In New York q mob Of several hundred
persons Termed at II o'clock Wednesday
night in front Of the home Of Policeman
Robert j. Thorpe, Thirty-sevcnth street
and Ninth avenue, to wreak vengeance
upon the negroes of that neighborhood
because one Of their race had caused the
policeman's death. Thorpe was stabbed
and bruised Sunday night by several me-
gpoes while he was attempting to arrest
a colored woman. The man who inflicted
most of the injuries is said to be Robert
Harris, a negro who came to New York
several weeks ago from Washington.
In a few moments the mob swelled to
A5OO people or more, and as they became
violent the negroes fled in terror INTO my
hiding place they could find. The police
reserves frOm four stations, numbering
400 in oil, were called out.
The mob of white men, which grew
with great rapAfity, ragged through the
district, and negroes, regardless Of age or
sex, were fndiscriminately attacked.

SERIOUS FIRE in INDIANA.
Great AK Factory at Alexandria Is
Totally DESTROYED.

lOIaIIy l~JCStrOyCNls
Alexandria. Ind: The entire plant of
the Kelly AK Manufacturing Company,
valued at $500, 900, was destroyed by fire
Sunday evening. 1t was the largest AK
factory in the world, employing between
800 and 1000 men when running at full
force. The plant was well insured. The
factory was located north of the city, out
side of the corporation, andthe fire depart-
ment could not render any assistance. The
fire cut off the water supply of the factory
and left no means of fighting the flames.
The fire started in the grinding depart
ment of the TX factory. A strong wind
carried the flames to the pump house and
doomed the entire works to destruction.
In a short time the whole plant, covering
ten acres, was reduced to ashes. 1t was
the only plant not in the trusts.
The insurance OH the plant is thought to
be about $450,0O0. Just how the fire started
is unknown, but it is thought to have orig
mated from a overheated boiler. When
first discovered by the Waterman the wood
work between the boilers and grinding
room was ablazc. The plant was thor
oughly equipped with an automatic sprink-
Ter, but owing to the steam in the boilers
being SO low it would not work. Many of
the employees of the establishment live
within a short distance of it, and every
effort was made to eXtinguish the blaze
without success, and the plant was de-
stroyed within a short time.

Jury's Verdict Was Unanimous

Days Behind Prison Bars-Wil
Seek a New Trial.

Georgetown, Ky: 1--WE. the jury, find
the defendant guilty and FIX his punish
ment at confinement in the pe~nitentiary
for the rest of his natural life.'
This was the wording of the verdict in
the case of cX-Secretary of State Caleb
Powers, charged with being an accessory
before the fact to the murder of William
Goebel. The vote in favor OF u life sem
fence was unanimous.
When the verdict of guilty was returned
Powers, for the first time during the weary
six weeks of the trial, betrayed his feelings.
Under all of the trying incidents of tho
trial he had maintained a changeless en-
preston, the same whether things
were going favorably or against
him The verdict of guilty,
however, apparently staggered him.
"Have you made a verdict, gcntlemen?"
I'VE have" the jurors answered, and at
the same time MIR. Stone, the foreman,
passed the verdict up to the clerk, who
read it aloud. Powers, always pale, grew
CHASTITY as the verdict was read andhis face
betokened great mental anguish.
This was only for a few seconds, how
ever, and then, %rcgaining his comrosure,
he turned to the Misses Dangerfield, who
had been in conversation with him. and
said:
81 was not expecting that. The verdict
is unjust"
There was no sort of demonstration fol-
lowing the verdict, and the vast crowd
filed out of the court house almost in
silence. Powers remained in the court
room for some time after the verdict was
rendered in conference with his attorneys,
who will at once move for a new trial, and
failing in that will take an appeal.

ANOTHER BRIDGE DISASTER.
Second Accident of the Kind at the
Paris EXPOSITION.

5cCOnU ACC1Ocnt Oh the Anna at the
Paris Exposition.
Paris: Another serious accident has
happened at the exposition. Two persons,
afencing master and a woman, whose
identity has not yet been established, were
killed, and n crowd of thirty people were
precipitatcd from a bridge to the roadway
below. Most of the victims were women.
Their injuries consist of wounds upon the
head and face, broken arms and ribs and
internal injuries.
The accident occurred at IL o'clock Sat-
urday night on a wooden bridge joining
the lnvalides to the Italian pavilion.
II was rumored at first that the bridge
had fallen, but it was found that this was
not absolutely correct, as only the hand
rail on one side had given way. Just be-
fore II O'Clock some one passing over from
the direction of the Champs de Macs
shouted, ut cracks" and. although there
was no justification for the cry, it was re-
peated by the crowd. causing a terrible
crush and panic. AT a certain point on
the Invalides side the bridge curves around
soa,ewhat, and it was here that the hand
re n gave way for a distance of ten to ff-
I Sen yards, and the crowd of people fell
to the road below.

Wire Fence Not directive.

A Rapid City dispatch states that the
government has been asked to see what is
the matter with the 60 mile wire fence
which was built along the north end of the
Indian reservation about two years ego
for the purpose Of keeping the range cattle
off of the reservation. Some of the Indians
have driven over the division line about
500 head of cattle, and they are row hold
ing the stock for a ransom from the own
ers at 81 per head. The same thing was
done three years ago, and the government
built the long wire fence to prevent a repe-
tition of the business. The government
employs Indians to ride along the fence
daily to see that it is all right. Cattle
owners wonder how their stock got across
the line, unless some of the riders were in
with the Indians who are now holding the

Epworth League Makes Proposition
Gun.

A. Huntley of Elk Point has been grant
ed a patent upon a automatic gun recently
invented by him. The model. which was
tested a few days ago, will shoot seven
times without r~eloading, six of which are
fed from the magazine, while the seventh
is loaded directly in the brcech. In shoot
ing the gun it is necessary only to pull the
trigger and hold it back until every shot is
fired. AS each shell is fired the empty
ahells are elected. The inventor and a
friend have gone to New York city, where
it is probable a plant will be established
for the manufacture of the guns.

PREDICTS EARLY MARKETING
Late Dry Weather Will Cause Rush
to Shambles of Cattle.

= atockman who recently returned from
the range says that cattlemen are discover
ing that the ranges west of the river are
overstocked and the long dry spell prom
ises short feed for the winter. AS a result
of all this it is expected that a great many
cattle will be marketed this fall. although
the recent rains will permit holding on a
few weeks yet. This will put more weight
onto the stock, but cannot stave off lots of
selling before freezing up time. Before
the rains the ranges were eaten down so
close that arrangements were being made
to rush cattle onto the market. Forty
thousand head were to be shipped from
one point alone. What effect these heavy
shipments will have on the market is not
known, but it is likely that lower prices
will prevail. One thing is certain, the
ranges will not provide feed for all the
great herds now feeding upon them, and
general selling must take place.

Americans, under their general, march,

The collapse of Chinese resistance is
explained in dispatches from Shanghai
us ;leing due to the failure of the Chinese
to flood the country below Tung-Chow.
The earthworks connected with the dam
at the Pei-uo were unfinished. and the
canal at Tung-Chow was full of water,
facilitating boat transports when the al
lies arrived there. Signals between the
allies and the lcgationers holding part of
the wall ut Pekin were exchanged during
the morning of Aug. 10. 1t was reported
