TEMPERANCE men
AN7I-COST. CON.

Bismarck, n. D., Feb. 10.-The join,
preparations committee Of the house
ands6enate met last night, with Sen
stor Plain presiding, in the absence OF
Senator LaMoure, who was unavoid-
ably detained. 1t was decided to ap-
point joint comLlittee of the house
and senate, comprised of seven menl-
bers, four from the lower and three
from the upper house, to draft a con-
current resolution proposing a consti-
tutional amendment providing for an
increase Of the bond limit of indebted
ress eff the state.
This has teen one of the reasons
for The calling of the constitutional
convention. 1t is whispered on the
outside that the measure is introduced
by the committee on account of tho
opposition to the constitutional con-
vention by the temperance people, who
fear the prohibition bars will be let
down in the making of new state
constitution.
This committee has not yet been ap-
pointed, but 1T is expected it will be
named this morning or at some time
today.
