TRAMPS.

The warm aud genial sunshiny days that
we are enjoying, bring geese, ducks, flies
all kinds of bugs and tramps. The latter
class, although not so numerous as the for.
mer, are more annoying. They are around
in the day time, and at night, when honest
people are abed, roam around, seeking
what they can devour or carry off. There
are too many of them in Yankton, and it
becomes our citizens to be on the alert
against them. Last evening Q .Yankton
lady had occasion to leave the house on an
errand, leaving the children alone. When
q shott distance away she saw q man enter
the back door of her house. She immedi.
ately returned and found sinister looking
stranger standing by the stove, talking to
the frightened children. On her ipquiring
his business there, he replied that the chill
dren had invited him to come In, and that
he had accepted the invitation. The lady
knew the fellow was not telling the truth,
that he was there for no good tSEpose, and
ordered him to leave the house. Upon his
hesitating to 60, she seized a fiat iron, and
advanced upon her unwelcome guest, when
he retired in a hurry, and has not been seen
in that neighborhood since. Our citizens
should be watchful, and carefully guard
their premises against tramps and burglars

IN EXPLANATION.

An item appeared in the Press aud Da.
kotaian Of the 9th inst, concerning the per.
petration of an inhuman outrage by one
Mons Nelson, upon a little daughter of Mr.
and Mrs. Larson, proprietors of the Skan.
dina1ian house, on Capital street. The par
ticulars of the affair were somewhat lmper.
fectly given at that time, and might have
been construed into reflection upon the
parents of the CHILD. yet such was no inten.
ded. The man Nelson was not a regular
boarder at Mr.. Larsons, nor was he consid.
cred by that family respectable man. He
had begged the privilege of remaining a,
the house On the night Of the outrage, rep.
r~esenting that he could find no other place
to stop.
Mr.. and Mrs. Larson, on hearing of the
nefarious attempt upon their daughter, i'm.
,mediately consulted a prominent lawyer
and under his advice. they declined t, pro.
coed against Nelso1s4efore the city Justice
but intended to bring the mater before the
territorial grand jury a, is present sitting
dceming this the better way t, punish the
william. The little girl is not as seriously
injured as at first supposed, and is now en-.
tirely well.
The Scandinavian hotel is one of our
mos respectable and well kept houses, and
Mr.. and Mrs. Larson the most excellent peo

Indignation meetings are the order of the

would not Be surprised to see the Jim river
valley represented At our national capital
protesting against the division of our great
territory on the one hundredth meridian OF
longitude west from Greenwich. We earn
easily and sincerely hope congress will not
pass such . law without consulting the in
terests of the people of the territory of
Dakota.
Farmers are buoy seeding and the acreage
will be doubled over last year. Grass is
starting on the south slopes presenting a

We had q call from w. Van Fps, John
McCfelland and q Mr.. Lee of Sioux Falls,
They were on the lookout for q stock rancho.
They crossed the river at Forestburg, pass
ing down on the west side to Rockport
where the territorial road connects Sioux
Falls and the James river valley. They
were just in time to meet their fellow towns
men Judge kershaw and Mr.. Williams the
clothier, who were spending n few social
hours on the raging "canawl." A dance
was under Roadway and the temptation was
too great Tor the party from the Sioux. c.
pecially John McClelland, who is ever
ready for a jolly time. So all that night the
sweet notes of the violin could be heard and
the dancers were 10 weary till the bright
sun warned them that another day had be-
gun. Mr.. Van Fps ever on the look
out for a good Investment concluded
this the place to invest, SO accordingly
made j.. ID. Flick an offer for a
half interest in his part of the town site
which was accepted, and Van Epps carried
off a warranty deed for 125 lots in Rock.
port. He will make some permanent i'm.
provements here the coming summer, such
as a hotel, and probably q store building,
with hall overhead. The party all speak Of
Rockport as the best site for a town on the
James river.
Settlers are beginning to come in and set.
tie on a 160 acre lot in our pleasant valley.
Had We an enterprising mail contractor, the
valley of the James would soon be filled ur
with industrious farmers. Several parties
have arrived in Yankton on their way to the
upper Jim, but the mail contractor could
not furnish them transportation, SO they had
to look in another direction for homes on
the free lands of Dakota. We hope July
LIST will give us better accommodations in
that respect.
The valley of the James offers better
homes for settlers than any part Of the ter.
ritory now open for settlement, andin a very
few years the whistle of the iron horse viii
be heard in our beautiful country.
The herd of Wright & Willis are steadily
on the increase, and are looking we'll. Cat
tie, generally, have done we'll this winter.
Settlers living near the river are enjoying
the luxury of fresh fsh-pickerel and pike,
which are caught in goodly numbers.
To all that are seeking homes on the free
lands in the great west, We say, come to the
James river, in southern Dakota.

The senate has passed Davis, bill to re-
NIT taxes on insolvent savings banks. 1t
provides that any tax due from savings
banks that were in existence in June, 1874.
and duly recognized by the laws of their
state, and which have been ascertained by
the commissioner of internal revenue to be
insolvent, shall be abated for the time of
such insolvency, no tax paid to be refunded,
however, and no tax to be abated except in
30 far as the collection thereof would oper.
ate to lessen the sum receivable by the de-
positors in such banks. A second
section was also added bv the senate.
Its text is as follows: That in
making further collections of internal rev.
enue taxes on bank deposits no savings
bank having no capital stock shall. on &C.
count OF mercantile or business deposits
heretofore received upon which no interest
has been allowed to parties making such
deposits, he denied exemption allowed to
savings banks having nc capital stock OF
doing no other business than receiving de-
pesits to be loaned or invested for the ben
eft of parties making such deposits with
out profit or compensation to banks, if such
bank has paid lawful tax upon the entire
average amount of such deposit.

to remove. If these Indians take the
war path 10 the spring the responsibility
will rest whollv upon this class of unscru.
pulous whites. That there exists any real
objection TO the Missouri river as q home
Tor Indians is n Of the absurdities which
cannot stand in the face Of the fact that
for fourteen years this region has been
the home of a large portion of
the Sioux nation, and that they have there
lived comfortably and have been fed and
clothed at not much moro than.
one-half tue expense where all rail
and wagon transportation Is relied
upon. The government is weak If it per-
nit paupers to dictate in the direction
of IN added outlay to the cost Of their keep
ing. 1t is weak if it allows itself to be To-
Inundated by the cry of robbery, fraud or
treachery. The Indians are well fed and
well clothed. Upon this factwe hang the
assertion that they have no cause for war
like acts, and that there is no basis for the
fiction that they are ill-.reated aud defraud-
ed Of their just dues
