LOCAL LAcoNtcs.
About a dozen Russian immigrants
rived last night over the Dakota Southe
road.
A greater discovery than the telepho
has been made. Sheriff Baker can ill,
trate it.
The agricultural society has not yet d
>.cided between Yankton and Vermillion
the place for holding the next ~territori
fair.
A heavy rain last night and a stead
.drizsls drozzle" to-day, is too big . do.
tor mother earth, ano the result is too muc
moisture on the surface.
Cas- county returns an assessment {
$2,000.000 this year, which places it at til
head Of Dakota counties in point of wealth
Yankton county stands second and Lawrenc
county third.
The break in the railroad at Vermillio
has been repaired. This mornings trail
east passed down at eleven o'clock and thi
afternoon a freight train cam through from
Sioux City.
Parties going east should bear in mint
that the Illinois Central railroad is now run
ming its sleeping car through from siouz
City to Chicago, without change. See tim.
table on other page.
Gen. Hammond arrived on this after
moons freight train and shortly after he
landed papers were served on him in the
case of Henry Broekman for $5,O 900 dam
ages for false imprisonment. Gen. Ham
mond has thirty days to put in his answer.
The ceremony of confirmation will be
conferred in the Catholic church of this city
on Sunday next, BY Bishop ireland, of St.
Paul, who will arrive here on Friday eve
ming. The examination of candidates for
confirmation will occur on Friday and Sat-
urday next.
The indications of the weather for the up
per Mississippi and valley, and upper lake
region, are rising, followed by falling ba-
rometer, winds mostly from northeast to
southeast, stationary, slightly higher temper
AZURE, clear and partly cloudy weather, with
occasional rains in the former.
We have been shown several letters which |
are evidence that DR.. Laubach was sent out
of the Indian country because it was alleged
that he had spoken unexpectedly and
Extensively of Capt. Dougherty and Gen.
Hammond. The ofense was not q very
grave one, but it gave an occasion for the
exercise of a little despotic authority.
The Messrs. Patrick, of Omaha, have sub
let their daily mail contract from Yankton
Firesteel to ]. Brinkerhof, Of this city.
Mr.. B. gets the full price at which the con.
tract was let the successful bidders to.wit,
$1,000. Too cheap by far; but of course
everybody hopes that Brink. will be able to
maintain a good line, and make some money
out of it.
The Dakota Southern company is having
more trouble at the Vermillion washout.
The river is still cutting in and yesterday
had again destroyed the road bed SO that
trains could not pass and a transfer of pass
sngers wal necessary. The river has now
,acroached to the base Of the bluff and there
ire probabilities that the track may have to
30 changed as to leave Vermillion a mile
n two away from the railroad. ],
Sheriff Baker, who returned last night
rom . trip to southeastern Illinois, says that
he crops in Dakota are better than in any
ection through which he travelled. In ILL
lois, rains have been excessive and almost
ncessant. In the great corn belt the first
has been destroyed, and farmers are
what they can, between showers, to
eplant their ground. Nowhere outside of {
Dakota, in the line Of the sheriA's travels,
the crops look better or promise a more
bundant yield. |.
