Cedar County Bulletin: The premium
list Of the Dakota territorial fair is on our
desk. In point of workmanship. it is equal
to the work Of frst-class city offices. 1t
bears the imprint of the Daily Press and
Dal lSotaian Book Printing Establishment,
and does credit to the energy and vim Of
our Yankton contempary.
A monte man who was invited by the
city marshal to leave town said he would
be willing to give the city of Yankton a
thousand dollars for the privilege of oper
ating here during the fair and that he would
pledge himself to leave each victim money
enough to get home with. His proposition
was not accepted.
Wheat receipts to-day aggregated 5000
bushels, which is the biggest day Yankton
ever had in this line of business. The
market opened at IS cents, but the price
went down to n and at three o'clock buyers
were uncertain whether to stick to the latter
figure or go back to rs cents. There were
some forty loads Of wheat being held on
Broadway to await decision.
The Indian exhibition at the territorial
fair next will be an interesting feature. 1t
is proposed by Maj. Gassman to bring down
squad Of Yanktons, who will pitch the
tepees on the grounds and remain as visi-
tors during the fair. They will also ex-
hibit specimens of the products of their
farms, their workshops and woolen cloth
factory. The Yanktons have made good
progress into civilizations ways and can
compete with their white brethern in some
branches ofmanufacture and agriculture.
