VALUABLE KITCHEN ARTICLES.

C. L. Bancroft has taken the agency for
the sale Of some valuable kitchen utensils
which the ~housekeepers of Yankton cannot
ell do without, now that inventive genius
has placed them at their disposal. One is
a cake pan, of which Mr.. B furnishes three
different sizes. They are manufactured from
the best Russia iron and are so constructed
that cakes, bread and puddings can be
baked evenly throughout and taken from
the pan without breaking the surface. Thi.
u,en>il is named the Centennial Cake and
Baking PAN" Its merits are apparent on
sight and no housewife will do without it
and maintain a peaceful attitude toward the
balance of the 'amily. These pans are so du.
able that they will last through one gener-
alton and do their work effectively. The
other ntensil which Mr.. Bancroft has for
sale is an improved combina ion boiler
-teaner and s%tlainer, three sizes. Vegetables
can bs cooked in it by direct steam action,
eggs can be quickly and completely cooked
in a few moments. The old method of
pouring off the scalding water is avoided
and everything made pleasant for the oper.
ator. Mr.. Bancroft is now canvassing the
city for the sale ofthese useful articles and
will show his samples to the ladies of Yank.
ton. All these utensils are manufactured
by L. f. Brown & Co., Cincinnati, Ohio.

Mr.. Davis, Of Dell Rapids, made Sioux

New Years day was generally observed
as a holiday at Sioux Fails. Places Of bust

Thorson must be lingering somewhere in
the vicinity.
Tae article in the Paragraph of last
