The Growth and Business OF the sLowell
OF the West' Continues at High
Tide.
E. A. Sherman. of Sioux Falls, territorial
treasurer, reached Yankton last evening.
He informs us that there has been no "let
up" in the growth and improvement of that
now famous Dakota city. Building con-
tinues and business is first class. About
1000 bushels Of wheat are received and
shipped bv rail each dsy, and In the neigh
borhood of 500 bushels manufactured into
-four at the grist mills. The merchants are
also receiving and storing q considerable
quantity. The new mill, situated above
the falls has been running eighteen hours
aday up to this tine manufacturing about
Is barrels Of -four per diem. Although
there has been no rain worth mentioning
for six months, the volume of wa.
ter in the Sioux is ample, and no spprehen.
sion is now felt that there will ever be any
lack OF power to drive the machinery.
Shaw'ssmiil is turaing out about so barrels
Of aour daily. A market. for the surplus
product Of the, mills is found in ChicaKo.
The prices paid for wheat last week were
for No l, es cts, Nos, So; No. 8. 50 and
for No. 4. 80 cts. A large proportion of
wheatgradee No. 3.

Supreme Court Of Appeals In the libel
suit Of MAI. James w. Sweeney ". the
Reqiaer Printing Company, sustaining
ne verdict Of the Circuit Court which
gave he plaintiff 5000. The history Of
ibis case is perhaps familiar TO the ma.
iority Of our readers. In the fall Of 1873
4 special election was held to gil the va.
cancy In the Legislature oocAsioned BY
the resignation Of DR.. N. F. Hullihen,
one Of the Ohio county members. The
candidates for the position were Gen.
A. ]. Pannell and Maj. Sweeney,
both Of whom were Democrats. The day
before the election the editorial columns
Of The Reoister bristled with short para
graphs yiliiying the Major in the strong
cal terms. About noon Of that day the
Major met Mr.. o. 8. Long, one Of the edi:
tors OF the Register, at the Postotice, and
asked him II he had written the articles
defaming him. Receiving an unsatisfac-
tory reply, the Major struck Mr.. Long
several times, and the next day paid 4
tiue al the police court for SO doing. On
the morning Of the election day the RegiS-
Ter was even more bitter than before, de-

afternoon Sweeney met Mr.. Lewis

ister and Mr.. J. st. J. Clarkson, its city edi.
tor, in South Wheeling, and used his re-
yolyer In 4 reckless manner, but with no
effect except 10 badly scare both men.
Pannell was elected over Sweeney BY .
msjority Of 100.
Ia May following Maj. Sweeney
brought against Messrs. Lewis Bak er,
james B. fancy, W. Il. fancy and W. J.
Johnston, proprietors Of the Register, for
libel, claiming $4,000 damages. The
case was not tried, however, until May,
