it was an Old Thing.
Sioux Falls Paragraph 3lst.
Without any gush or hurrah, Sioux Falls
last evening received a visit from a locomo.
tive, the track having been laid during the
day to . point between the two mills. The
first warning of the presence of the long
looked-for-engine was q couple of toots from
its whistle-the first sound ever made by
steam-whistle in Sioux Falls. To-day the
track will be completed to the depot grounds
the rails being simply laid in order to fur
nish q road which may be used with care fol
bringing the train into the town so that thu
company can fulfill its contract for common.
cling the transportation of the mail to Sioux
Falls by August 1(to-morrow.) The carrigt
Of passengers all the way through to THU
place will also commence at once, and thai
road will be terminated.
Almost any other community under thu
sun would enthuse over such q piece o
fortune as has finally reached us; but oul
people are very matter-of fact, and it is glory
enough for them to know that the road ha,
got here. Sentiment is all very we'll some
times, but it doesn't suit our style. We ar
all wonderfully glad, however, that the iron
horse has reached us, because it is wha
Sioux Falls has been looking forward to fol
a long, long time. The prospect is what ha
given her that Impetus which has been thu
wonder Of the whole country, by developing
the region tributary to her, and it is what i
to bring to her still further growth. 0
course we are glad. Who wouldn't be?

At lastnight's meeting of the temperance
alliance was demonstrated the fact that
about n fifth the people of Yankton have
placed their names to the total abstinence
pledge and that of their number over two
hundred are reformed men. This is a graft.
flying result from six months work in the
cause and speaks volumes for the intclli-
gence ofour community. W. challenge any
frontier town in the entire west to produce
credentials of good standing so conclusive
as those which Yankton puts forth, and
would even be willing to 60 a thousand
miles towards the rising sun for q parallel
case. Churches and schools of the higher
order, backed by q moral sentiment which
is itself the offspring of such institutions,
are the elements within us which Indirectly
produce this condition.

Delegated idder has announced his inten-
ton of honoring the Black Hills with his
presence within y short time, and the people
Of Deadwood may find him dropping into
their midst at almost any moment. He
wall unquestionably combine business with
plleasure-aud it is pleasure to view this
glowing and prosperous city, especially
when the visitor comes from the territorial
seat Of government, which is so remote from
this land of gold and silver. Then, too, he
will ascertain the sentiments prevailing in
what is regarded as the stronghold of his
leading competitor, Judge Bennett. He may
honor the people Of the Hills with his views,
and certainly he most be full of views as to
governmental policy, he having had All op-
b%ortunity Of forming solid opinions while
serving his constituency as a delegate in
congress. He may be able to throw much
light upon the sentiment prevailing at the
national capital towards this section Of
country. and what its people may expect to
obtain in that quarter at the hands Of the
next congress. Much interest attaches to
what he may say upon that point, as it will
unquestionably have its weight with the
convention which is to meet at .Yankton on
the 22nd Of next month.

The president of the Chicago and North.
western railroad has been. on a tour of in
vestigation along the line of that road and
all its tributaries and has carefully examin-
ed crop prospects in the regions visited. He
says that corr. was backward until two or
three weeks ago, when it took q sudden
start, and is now as forward as usual at this
time. In Iowa 1t promises as good as last
year. Wheat is generally injured. largely
by heat. the worst injury being in northern
Iowa and southern Minnesota. Here both
quality and quantity are effected, and the
general yield will not exceed ten bushels
per acre.. Western Iowa IL better than east.
ern. There the average will be twelve to
fifteen bushels. The farmers 10 Minnesota
seem to, be discouraged, but elsewhere are
in better spirits. The proportion of abso.
lutely worthless wheat 10 very small, and
but .angoccasional field has bean ahahdoned.
