A BLOCK FOR THE SISTERS.

Editors Press & Dakotaiaa,
Yankton, Dakota, Nov, 9, 1S7s.-The at
%tention Of the people Of Yankton has been
called, several times, to the efforts of. E.
Bruce, esq, and TO others, to obtain, by sub
scription, a sum sufficient to purchase a
block Of ground to be donated to the sisters
Of mercy for school purpoes.
The citizens of Yankton should decide,
at once, whether they desire that an institu-
tion Of such manifest importance should be
located in our city, or in some other place.
Sioux Falls has already offered the sisters an
entire block Of land in that town, and Yank-
ton is likely to lose this opportunity Of
having erected within its limits the schools
which the sisters have promised to build if
the land was donated.
A considerable amount is already
subscribed, and next week a last
effort will be made to obtain the balance Of
the amount necessary, and it is to be hoped
that the request for aid which will there be
made, will not be %disregarded by any who
have the welfare of our city at heart.

SUCCESSFUL STOCK OPERATIONS.

There is much talk about stock opera.
tions and the rapid fortunes that are amass.
ed by them, but very few people understand
just how it is done. Me;srs. Lawrence &
Co., Bankers, 81 Exchange Place N. Y.
City, bave published full details of their
new Combination Method of operating in
stocks which is wonderfully successful.
By pooling the orders of thousands of Gus.
toners into one immense sun and operating
them as a whole, each patron is placed on
an equality with the largest operator and
vast profits are divided pro rata among
shareholders every 80 days. S25 makes
500 or 4 per cent. on the stock in the
month; 500 makes $3.50 or ~ per cent;
$3.50 makes $1,000. and various profts ac-
cording to the movements of stocks. Safety
and success are the Distinguishing features
of this system. s. Y. Sanger, of San Fran.
cisco, CAL, writes: II have never made so
much money in the same time as l have by
your Combination System" The new cir
cular copyrighted and sent free) explains
all details. Allkinds OF Stocks and Bonds
wanted. New Government Loan supplied.
Best References. Address Lawrence & Co.,
Bankers, 81 Exchange Place, N. Y. City.

OLD RIP.

Dispatches from the West would
lead the reader who does not know the
man to question the patriotism and
purity of purpose OF Col. John S. Ford.
He goes to Washington to give evil
dence before the committee OF Mex
can affairs, and whatever his prejudices
or predictions be will state the simple
truth. There is no honester or more
fearless lover of truth than Col. Ford.
The very name of sold Rip" is the
synonym of vigorous honesty of pur-
pose and character. He has no aver
sion, it is true, to q regular shindy,
and if Conkling or Mexico would have
a neat little row with anybody Col.
Ford is the man to tackle. Conkling Is
a skillful boxer and adroit sBordsmsn.
He is a fencer in debate ard proposes
to live till new century dawns, and
yet to fight if the occasion demands.
He is chairman of the special Sena-
torial committee on Mexican affairs,
and if he would have little sport in
the role of pugiiist. or duellst or
shindyist he wiftArd, in the redoubta-
BILE Col. Ford, one eminently capable
of maintaining his assertions, even at
the cannon's mouth. Col. Ford is not
excessively brilliant in his tastes. He
is rather philosophical, and has several
pet theories affecting all groa. quts-
tions. He has devoted his genius of
