Karly Thursday morning n line gray horse was discovered apparently ml roil In Dig Lake , fully 203 yards from the shore , just north of the city limits. About 8 o'clock some of Iho residents < ft that locality at tempted to get him out , but were not suc cessful.

City Mar shal Tcmplo'.on offered to go out and see what he could do if some ono would volun teer to go with him , but owing to the storm his oiler was not accepted. About 7 o'clock in the evening a party wont out , however , but thu horse was dead. It transpired yesterday that the animal was u thoroughbred r.icing stallion , owned by M , L. Rood or , an Omatm Insurance man , and was valued ut 51 , DM. Hu was u four- year-old and w.is recently purchased in Dun- vor. How the animal reached tlio lake is not known , ns ho was loft warmly blanketed in his box stall Wednesday morning and ho was gene on the Inllowing morning. U hethcr ho was stolen or not is a matter of conjecture , but bo certainly must have como across the bridge during Iho night. As nearly as can bo learned the horse must have become lost , or dazed , ns ho wan dered about in the lake for several hours before finally becoming mired. Hm blanket was gone , but ho still wore a inu//lo that no had on when left Ir. his stall. The water was not more than eight inches deep , and under it was about ns much Ice , through wl.ich thu animal had broken , ami sinning Into the mud was unable to get out. Mr. liocdor was in the city yesterday and idcntilled tlio animal as his property. He feels very badly over the loss , as the horse was pn/cd very highly , it is surmised that the horao was stolen mid managed to slip his bailer after boiuglcJ across the bridge.

Later in the evening Frank Allen and Thomas O'Hi'.ra were arrested by Ofllcer Bewick. They had been in the second hand store of Thomas Diicrwcstor , where it is alleged they were trying to arrange for a disposal of the stolen property. Deorwoster is refiardcd by the police as a "fence , " and has been in trouble several times on this account. O'llara and Allen were accompanied by ono Lew Davis , who escaped from the ofliccrs. The other two were landed in the county jail.

The people of Cheyenne were in a fever of anticipation all day yostorday. The press dispatches durmi ; the carlv after noon gave no adequate conception of what was la store for Wyoming and dually became - came of suoh a character that thu outlook seemed very dubious.

Following this came llro crackers and bombs , and soon the ordnance from Fort Uussull added to tlio turmoil.

[ Special to Tur Hnn.l The Farmers' alliance of Soull Dakota has the ben organization for pr.io.tl cal purpose * that exists among the states o the northwe.it. There nro now organize ! over SOO alliances In the state , with an average ago of twenty members each , tnus making n total membership of over 10.000. The mem bership Is rapidly incroasliitr. Kloven organ izers arc now in the field , and their reports nro exceedingly gratifying. There is a steady Increase in the organization and In their numbers. Salu ono of the loading members of the legislature to mo : "It is the most Important item In the politics of Dakota today. The convention which formed the constltiit'on was dominated by the farmers , and the present legislature , more especially thu house , is in the hands of the alliance tncn. " The secretary of the Farmers' alli ance was a member ot the house , and was ono of the mou useful men in that body. ' 1 he alliance has boon in existence hero only four years. It first came into promi nence in politics two years ago , under the direction of Mr. Loucks , who is its presi dent. The farmers then indicated by their action tholr Intention to take a hand in thu renovation of tlio politics of the state. One of the real causes of the growth of the organi/ation was politiu'll a dissatisfaction not with republicanism or democracy , but with the active management of botli p.vrties. With the political situation , the financial con dition of the farmers co-operated to produce a feeling of growing discontent , tbo alliance became a necessity , lu purposes were far superior to the grange which preceded it ; they had In view the improvement of the farmers botli financially and through poli ties. The farmers took hold of the political movement in Bismarck a year ago , in what was known ns "iho farmer's legislature , " mid again in South Dakota during the past slimmer. At thu republican convention at Huron , It was determined to accomplish whatever was done within the lines of the two existing parties , by democrats electing democrats , and republicans electing republi cans who were favorable to tlio purposes of the alliauce. Thu platform of the Huron republican convention was very nearly in accord with the views and wishes of the members of the alliance. With few points of difference , the en tire republican member ship of the alliance were willing to stand upon the republican platform. The alliance also had strength in the democratic organi zation. Differences of individual judgment would lead to differences of opinion in re gard to nominations and policies ; but on the whole , the result of the full election was thai while the farmers got the platform the politicians got the most of the ollices. Thus Mr. Nardoll , the alliance candidate lor UnitpXl States senator , was defeated. But the outcome is that the men who were elected both in the state oQlces and the legislature have happily disappointed the alliance , and have actoJ far more in accordance with tholr desires than they hud hoped for. The rec ommendations made to the legislature have been in the direction of the desires nud pur- pcbci of the alliance ; and tuo action of the legislature , uivin relief to tha neonlo through remedial legislation , is approved by the farmers of the state. The legislature will not bo as satisfactory ns it ought to bo , niatnlv on account of the action of the senate which has killed the usury bill , the exemp tion law , the provision for the taxation of mortgages , and so on. In the house the views and wishes of the alliance have com manded attention , and much of the best leg islation has originated with tnat body. but the purposes of the .fanners' alli ance of South Dakota are not distinctively political. They are so only for the ameliora tion of the condition of the farmers aud la boring men of the state. Whatever short comings there may have been in the action either of the legislature or of state ofiicers , the farmers of the state , through their alli ance will llnd a way speedily and decisively to correct them. Politics apart , and as a purely business organization , the alliance is a success oven beyond that body in our ou'u stato. It has , for example , organized a busi ness company , with the purpose of bringing within the roach of the fanners , the heavier articles used by them , sucli us coal , oil , machinery , and so on. The sales of these articles , which are furnished at coat price , have amounted to : 50,000 in South Dakota the past year and will probably npproximnto ono million dur ing the present year. The alliance also has an Insurance department for life , forflro and against t.uil , and in its llro insurance business presents the best record among the companies doing business in the stato. The state auditor attests that the standing of thu Insur-nco companies of the alliance Is above suspicion. While there is the usual disposition among the farmers to restrict the railroads , for which the legislature has the most ample constitutional authority , at the same tlniQ there has boon no attempt made and no dis position manifested by the present legisla ture to do so. This is duo to two reasons : First , the state now has 2-IUO miles of railroad and desires a good tlo.U moro to stimulate rapid settlement to the Missouri river and beyond it to the Black Hills ; and , secondly , the railroad com panies opoiatmg in the state have been very generous in transporting coal and grain to tno few destitute counties free of charge. The Chicane & Northwestern company has contributed in this way fully $100,000 to those counties. The railroads have dealt fairly and generously with tbo people ; the farmers throughout the state fully appreciate this fact , and there Is no disposition for ollonsivo legislation. The legislature has passed a law for the taxation of railroads ; all railroad property is assessed by a state board on its value as other property is assessed. Whilp .his tax will add very largely to the resources of the state it H at the same time very satis factory to the railroad companies. Under the constitution of the state the letr- Islaturo of South Dakota is a pretty largo body. The house must have not less than suvonty-tlvt ) members nor moro than 1US ; and the senate not less than twenty-flvo nor more than . The forty-live. present leg islature has the maximum member ship. IbO members The consensus of opinion among the best mambcrs of both houses is in favor of the present num ber. Kvery county in the stnto Imi at least ono member of t'io ' houso. Both houses are line bodies of men- , and have proven to bo more conservative * than might bo expected ol so numerous u representation In a new state. Cnder the constitution each regular session , except thu llrst , must not exeeed sixty day ; any bill may originate in either house , and thu governor may disapprove any Item ol a bill malting appropriations of iinmoy. The theory upon which the constitutional convention apportioned the membership of thu lower house , was ono member for every tiOO voters. Assuming that every organized county him a suillcienl number of voters , each was given pno representative , giving Illty members on tb.jt bash. The bovontv- four additional njouibera were apportioned to the counties according to their respective population on thu name basis , tlio highest number for any ono county being eight , and the lowest one. Kansas , wi'.h nearly the same area as bouth Dakota , lacks only llvo members to have the same number : Illinois with ono-third the area has thirtv-IU-o moro mumbors , Indiana w'lth half and Iowa witti two-thirds the area of South Danoti , have only nineteen less ; Now Hampshire and Vermont , each with one-ninth the area have , the former twu-o as many , and the latter 101 moro members of the house ; Massachusetts with ono tenth the area , has 111 moromembers ; Connecticut with ono sixteenth the urea , has KM moro members ; Now York with 00 ptr cent of the area , has only nine moro moro inomluir * , ami Pennsylvania with M per cunt of the area , has eighty-two moro members. In states whcro there \i \ found the least legislative corruption there is nlmoH generally vho largest memburtihip Hmall bodies are moro easily controlled than are largo ones by lou- uyiau and corruotiooisis A largo legislature turo is a uioro representative budi , it comes nearer the puuple , aud uut om > is less BUS Council Bluffs are making such low will saveyoumoney.

It seems to ron der possible a moro equal distribution of power. Ono hundred a.id sixty seven mem bers is not , a too largo body to represent lO..OO ' I people. The closer the roprcscnta lives are to the people , the moro cirefui they will bo not to vote for extr.iv.iga'it ap propriations of the people's money. TJu legislature met Octobar 15 , organ ized the state government and elected United States senators , and adjourned to the Tth of January. It has therefore been in session three months , and in legislative ses sion but two months , which is a moderate for the first legislature of a now stale. Both of the Dakotas have onactcJ prohi bition laws which are Draconian in their provisions. I may hercattcr give a sum mary of these enactments , which in the case of South Dakota can claim the fuvornblo opinion at best of only a little moro than half the votes of the state. In t'ie ' case of South Dakota , the debate which was ani mated and protracted , turned on tha adop tion of an amendment offered by Mr. S. K. Yotine , who is the speaker of the housi , permitting the keeping and tiso of innoxica- tinL' liquor in the family residence. The friends of the measure maao a long and des perate light to secure a provision witn which it is cert in the mo.isu.ro could never have become n law. I am aulo , through the cour tesy of Mr. Young , to give extract from his speech , which nlono saved the measure fn-tn ! certain defeat. Mr. Young quoted the words ns they stand in the orig inal bill , as follows : "Every lessee or owner of a building who shall permit or knowingly sufler to Reused * * " therein any intoxicating liquor , * * * shall bo guilty ot a misdemeanor , " punish able by line and imprisonment in the c"ounty jail for the llrst act , or for every successive offense by imprisonment In the state prison , etc , Mr. Young said : ' 'Gentlemen , in that paragraph in my deliberate judgment is con ; tamed a provision which would have ship wrecked the cause of prohibition. * * * I take it that after a few owners of fntinly residences had served a term in your state's prison , possibly there might be a reaction In the sentiment of the people of tins state that would have been disastrous to thu caiuo which this law is intendc.l to promote. For the purpose of remedying that evil , tins house by a large vote adopted the following worus as an amendment 10 soci.on u. 'i-ro- , vidcd , however , that nothing in this section shall bo construed to prohibit the use of in toxicating liquors in a building by the actual resident occupants thereof , if such Building bo a family residence used as such , and not a place of common and public resort ? That amendment for the purpose of protecting vour prohibitory law from Its most serious danger has been assailed all ovttr this state , and It has been declared that it would bo ruinous if it becime a part of the law , The amendment contained a statement simply of the truth in regard to thu matter that it was not the sentiment of thu house that upon any pretext could the home be invaded , its members bo arrested and subjected to severe penalties , and oven imprisoned for permitting the use of intoxicating liquors therein. Upon this proposition I squarely stand : that no prohibitory law was over enacted - acted or can bo enacted that can invade the home ol any man in South Dakota and ar rest him or punish him for the me of intox icating liquor. I want to say that while the evil of the tr.inic is gigantic , while the na- loon is the center and source of corruption , social and political , at the same time wo recognize - ognizo the fact that when that law comes tote to the threshold ol .your homo it is as power less to enter therein with its Iron arm as is the breath of a feeble man to withstand the blast of the fiercest storm that over bwept over our prairies. Wo must not bo unmindful of tiio fact tnat forty-tlvo bun- drcdths of the people of South Dattotn have not been steady friends ot this law , and are even opjuscd to it , and that many a cause that is right in itself has been shipwrecked by being entrusted to thosu whoso misguided zeal would lead them to ros > ort to extreme measures. That amendment which received the sanction of nearly ono hundred votes of the members of this house , guaranteed a right not only to owners of the family resl- dcnco , but to the members of the familyand in my judgment that right is substantially preserved in the senate amendment which is now before you. " With this modification , the measure is now a law , and after July 1 , wo shall have the opportunity of seeing what effect the most sweeping legislation that it is possible to se cure will have on a population equally divid ed in sentiment upon its extreme provisions , D.
