READING TOWARDS YANKToN.

A private letter from Hon. VIM. NJ. Cup
pet, of Canton, written Saturday, contains
railroad news of Importance. Mr.. Cuppett
had just returned from Sheldon, where he
met Mr.. Lawler and Mr.. Kimball, of the
Chicago, Milwaukee & ST. Paul railroad
company. From them he learned that it
had been decided to build fifty miles of the
extension from Pattersonville this year.
While Mr.. Cnppett was in Sheldon orders
we're received by Mr.. kimball, who is at
the head of the field engineer. service of the
company, to proceed Immediately with the
survey Of a route from Pattersonville down
the Rock to Eden and out on Pattee creek
and slough this side of Eden. Nh. Kimball
had directed engineer Dunbar to begin the
work this Tuesday, morning. These
movements indicate that the managers of
the company have decided to commence
work in earnest. The sale offs million dol
lars worth of bonds, a few days ago is anoth-
er indication of the same purpose. The de-
cision of the Sioux City & st. Paul com
pany to extend its line westward from Sioux
Falls and run it up against the Sioux reser-
vation would naturally determine the Mil
waukee company to take ita proposed SOUTH
ern route and build to Yankton, IS it is not
to be supposed that they would construct =
second road, to run parallel with the one
already ordered, and only . few miles from
it, into an Indian wilderness. The route
which Mr. Dunbar has been directed to survey
is the Yankton route, as laid out by the en-
gineers Of the company at the time the pre-
liminary survey was made, under the guild
ance ofMayor Wynn and General Beadle.
It follows the valley Of the Rock southwest.
erly from Pattersonville to Eden, leaving
Canton some twelve miles to the north,
crosses the Big Sioux At Eden, bears = few
miles westward along Pattse creek and then
takes . straight southwest course to Yank-
ton, crossing the Vermillion about a mile
above Lodi and Jim river near the old gov
eminent bridge some four miles from this
city. The fifty miles ordered by the COM
pany would close the gap between Patterson
vile and Yankton. With the knowledge
that the extenaion is being surveyed Is in
aicated in Nj. Cuppett's letter, it is toler-
IDLY safe to assume that the road il coming
% Yankton. The time for active work has
now arrived. During the fall and winter
past the st. Paul company and the Milwau-
zee company have kept their engineers in
EE- 20 4
he country north Of Yaukton, along the
1alley Of the Jim and between the Jim and
he Big Sioux, evidently more for the pur-
'ose Of watching each other than for any
hing else. Both companies seem now to

A LOTTERY SUIT.

A New York telegram of the 18th says
that a lottery agent here has brought suit
against postmaster Jamesin the supreme
court of the state for illegal detention of
his letters, for which he claims $25, 900
damages. 1t Will probably be transferred
to the federal courts. The letters were
detained under orders from the post
master general, based on the law au-
thorizing him 10 detain letters concern
ing lotteries, etc. 1t is claimed by the
counsel that the law is unconstitutional,
as it makes the postmaster general sole
and exclusive judge and sheriff, and
gives the party no opportunity to be
heard, and deprives plaintiffs of their
property without due process of law and
in violation Of provisions of the consti-
tuition. The decision of this case will
be looked for with much interest, as it
greatly concerns the public.
