William F. Cody. A good story 18 told of “‘our own"—good ‘because true and characteristio. He was at Fort Davenport, then a ten or twelve com- pany post, and the timo was shortly after the “Thin Knobs fight, where Cody had pur- sued the poculiar tactics of the Indians, and whenever ho killed one of them he dis- mounted and sealped him-—that 1s, if he had time. It was inthe back room of the post trader and several of the officers were dis- cussing the matter over their beer, and, as it happened, Buffalo Bill was just about entor - ing room as one of the officers remarked Jthat *'Cody ought not to put himseif on a level with Indians.” Cody just halted at the door an instant as he heard his name pro- nounced, and then, striding into the room, said: “Gentlemen, I want you to under- and one thing: The Hon. W. F. Cody never scalps Indians, but Buffalo Bill scalps them every time.” Farally Injured Through Oarclessn Bouvrn Sioux City, Neb., July 13.—[Special Tolegram to Tuk Ber.]—While the 7-yoar- old son of J.

Cn10Aco, July 13.—[Special Telogram to Tuk Bee.]—The east-bound freight compli- cation was still further mixed to-day by a notice of the Michigan Contral that it would meet the Grand Trunk cut to 20 cents on ail clusses of grain, Chicago to New York, next Friday. It will be remembered that the Grand Trunk gave notico that it would ad- vance all rates to the 25 cent basis on July 24. This notice suporseded its notice of re- duction to 20 cents. The joiut committee de- cided in New York, on Wednesday, that on July 22 the rates of 20 cents on cor cents on whoat should go into effect. cording to this, all central traffic and trunk line roads, except the Grand Trunk and Michigan Central, will put the joint commit- tee rates nto offect July The Grand Trunk will raise ail the grain rates to 25 conts July 24, moantime charging 20 cents, and aftor July 16 the Michgan Central wili charge 20 cents on all classos of gram. Of course this paradoxical state of affairs can- not exist, and unless the joint committee tukes prompt action the 2) cent rate on_all classes of grain will rule as soon after July 23 as the roads can issue lewal tariff. g il The Senatorial Investigation.

D, July 13,—[Spocial Tel- egram to Tue Bee. | —Thirty delogates, six less than a quorum, were all that put in an appearance at this afternoon's session of the constitutional convention, Judge Cardon, of Deadwood, presided, Judge Edgorton having gono to his home at Mitohell for Sunday. A design for the great seal of South Dakota was received from a Chicago firm of en gravers und reforred to the proper commit tee, and thon the convention adjourned until Monday at2p. m., after being in session seven minutes. It is now settled that the convention will remain intact throo woeks longer. Asabody it has decided to accept an invitation to attend the waterway con- vention at Superior, Wis., on Tuesday, August 6, The wives of the dole- gates aro to o also, and there is to be a special train ride, a banquet and a pienio generally. Arrangements are being nogo- tiated with a view to having tho convention of North Dakota go with Sthe party, but it is believed here that the northern neighbor ‘will remain in session during all of the dog days, as the work of constitution making at Bismarck progresses slowly. Considerable interest is felt in the numerical order in which the state of South Dakota will come into the union. The omnibus bill, adopted by ocongress last February, providing for statehood for North and South Dakota, Mon- tana and Washington torritories, refers to them in the order here named. If Presi- dent Harrison’s proclamation declaring their statehood employs tho same phraseology s this law, North “Dakota will be the thirty- ninth and South Dakota tho fortieth state. This may not seem to be u mattor of much importance, but it is, as it iuvolves the senior- ity and length of the first terms of the United States sonators for the two states. Onoof the gertlemen whom nearly every- body in South Dakota believes will bé chosen United States senator by tho legislature this winter, says the lerms of the United States senators for the thirty-ninth state will be for one und one-half years and three and a half years on the first election, while the United States senators chosen by the legis- lature of the fortieth state will serve as their first terms four and six years. Thus those who aspire to be United ‘States seuators for South Dakota are congratulating themselves that President Harrison will follow tho language of the omnibus billand name North Dakotaus the thirty-ninth state of the union and uot overlook the law in an effort to rec- ognize South Dakota’s work for statehood. She has borne the brunt of the battle from first to last. Thero is not a very great acramblo for the state nominations in _South Dakota. This 1s due to a general understanding us to whom shall be nominated for the principal offices on the republican ticket, which is the only one having any prospgot, at all for success. Arthur C. Mellette, of Watertown, Prosi- dent Harrison’s present governor of both the Dakotas, will be nominated and elected by av least twenty thousand majority. Kuugra- tion Commissioner Hagerty, of Abardeen, 15 likely to be nominated lieutenant governor. Thetwo congressional nominations lie be- tween Colonel Charles T. McCoy, of Aber- deen, who was a member of the original South Dakota constitutional convention and who has been a member of the national com- mittee and & recognizel leader of the party for many years, Hon. John R. Gallble, of Yunkton, who was also a member of the original constitutional convention and who is a hustler, ana the present elective con- gressiongl délegate, George C. Matthews, of Brookings, Only three names are ever heard in con- nection with the United States senatorship. They are Judgo O. J. Edgerton, of Mitchell, who was president of the last coustatutional convention, and is the presiding officer of the convention in session here; Judge Gideon D. Moody, of Deadwood, who' was & member of ef the original coastitutional convention, and who has rendered incalculable service for the division of Dakota and statehood, and ex-congressionul delegate Frank Pottigrow, of Sioux Falls, who has been a fighter in the front rauks for division and statehood since tho incipiency of the movement. Messrs, Edgerton and’ Moody have the prestize of having been elected United States senutors by the Huron state legislature, Mr. Petti- grew has the advautage of having made one of the most satisfactory and effective dele- gates Dakota ever sent to congress and with having done more than any man in South Dakota for the territory's develop- ment, He is just entering the prime of life, is a thorough statesman, familiar with the legislative proceedings of the territory and of congress, and he will take heed at Washington like an experienced senator. He has assisted with his own capital and that whicn he has sccured in the east so many cities and towns in Dakota that a sense of gratitude on the part of their citizens will give him groat strength, even though the ad- vautages he would have in Washington at the outset are overlooked. Dakota1s popu- lated with shrewd, warm blooded men, ttigrow is the foremost. He ng and the stounchest of He is the yonngest of the trio. Judge Kdgerton served in the United States senato from Minnesota with great credit. He is as large and broad mentally as he is physically, and he is a magnificent specimen of mauhood. He was a good soldicr, is a trained statesman, well educated, well read and well known; a fine lawyer and jurist, a firm friend and thoroughly popular. Judge Moody is a fearless, progressive statesman. He was a colonel in the union army during the late war, and like his coad- jucators, early came to Dakota. Ho was on the federal bench in South Dukota for many years, proving himself an able and jurist, and since he became a private has demonstrated his ability as an advocate. All of those three men would do gi credit in the United States senato to any state, and the people of the country may be sure, even at this early day, that South Da- kota will have as strong a delegation in con- gress this winter as can be found from any state in the union. THE BISMARCK CONVENTION. A Sharp Fight Being Made on the Prohibition Question. BisMancg, N. D., July 13.—[Special Tele- gram to Tug Bee.]—The probibition ques- tion was given a boow in the convention to- day. Four delegates each submitted a pro- posed article probiviting the manufacture or salo of intoxicating liquors in the state, and calling upon the legislature to fix penalties for the violation of the law. A canvass of the question has been made and-it is author- itatively stated that it is known that twenty of the seveaty-five delegates ara in favor of embodying this article in the constitution. The liquor men and the liberal men of both the democratic and republican parties are sald w be stirred up by the introduction of the prohibition clause so early in the ses- sion, and will hold a private meeting here Monday for the purpose of deciding upon steps to check the progress of the prohibi- tion sentiment in the convention, The railroad articles submitted by a Farm- ers’ alliance delegate to-day is taken almost bodily from tue constitution of South Da- kots, and in some respects is severe, The question of taxing the railroads has been in« troduced in the debate, and while there are mauy i favor of relaning the present mothod of gross earniugs taxation, which Is satisfactory to the railroads, a large ele- ment is striving to have the corporation taxed upon lhe‘ir lands aod property, the same as individuals. “The first skirmish over the question of locating the capital was had to-day, when an attempt was made by those in favor of removal from Bismarck to bave & special committee spvolnted o whom all be referred all matter rolating thereto.

That Railroad Trust. NEW York, July 13.—[Special Telegram to Tur Bre]—Concerning Mr. McCook's circular in regard to the formation of 8 huge railroad trust, Mr, McCook yesterday after- noon said that the statement printed in Chicago that certain railrouds wero alread y committed to the scheme was incorrect. The original letter, he said, had been written without consultation with railroad or other ofticials. Not a man or a road had been com- mitted to it. McCook has received letters ackuowledging the receipt of the clreular, but none of the writers have given the mat- ter suflicient consideration to base an opinion on it, Mr. Macgowan, McCook’s partner, was also soen, and in speaking of the matter suid that while what Mr. McCook had stated was oxactly correct, nevertheless there was a scheme 1 the @r for the formation of a series of trusts among the railroads, and it embodied very nearly the ideas in Mr. McCook’s circular. 1t is said that McCook's scheme is backed by Drexel, Morgan & Co., Brown Bros. & Co., and Kidder, Peabody & Co., three of the largost banking houses in the country. It is learned from a banker of promin ence that most of the great roads in the west, in- cluding the Union Pacitic. would favor such a scheme, dnd that the Gould and Vander- }m:imurum would look atit in tho same ight, : Railroad oficials, bankers® and railroad lawyers agreo that there is no likelihood of even an attempt being made to form a rail- road trust. It is intimated that some steps are necossary to remove the Chicago Alton and tho Burlington & Northern roads from the position they now occupy, and that a proposition hus beon mada to purcnase the stock of both companies and operave them by a union committee, Another scheme pro- posod is to follow out the plan under which the Cleveland, Columbus, Cincinnati & In- dianapolis, tho Cincinnatl, Indianapotis, St. Louis & Chicago and the Uairo & Vincennes roads were consolidatoed, and form the rail- ways of the country into four great systems, tho stocks of the oid companies to be can- celled and tueir individuality destroyed.
