A Big Deal.
The Yankton P. and D. says:

The Yankton K. and u. says:
"In accordinance with the advertise
ment of Territorial Treasurer McNay the
balance of the $4,000 territorial bonds
for penitentiary purposes amounting to
$50, ,O0O-were sold to-day to the highest
bidder. The bids were: Charles E. Judd,
Canton, all three per cent. premium;
First National bank, Yankton, all, two
and one-quarter per cent. premium; S. B.
Coulson, Yankton, SO, 900, two and three
quarters per cent. premium; Kearsage
National bank, of Warren, New Hamp-
shire, $1,000, two and three-quarters per
cent. premium. Charles E. Judd, Of Can
ton, takes the whole $4,000 at three per
cent premium. The bonds bear six per
cent interest and run twenty years but
may be redeemed after five years. The
money goes into the construction of the
Sioux Falls penitentiary.'
From the above it will be seen that the
Dakota Loan and Trust company Of which
Chas. E. Judd is cashier, furnished
the means to complete the penitentiary
and that the firm has confidence in Dako-
ta's stability and reputation. The bonds
are expected to reach here by Friday.
The money has been sent to the treasurer
of Yankton. Mr.. Judd is to be comph-
mented on his sagacity and fnanceering
in efecting this deal

A BRICK COMPANY.
Organization of u stock Company at
CantOn.-The Work to be Pushed
With VigOr.

WIN VlEOF.
One of the principal drawbacks to build
ing business brick blocks in Canton has
been the scarcity Of building material, and
the high price of the same. The price
has been serious barrier in the way, and
this has opened the eyes Of several Of our
citizens to the needs of the day.
Last Thursday an enterprise of the kind
mentioned above was formed by several
of our wide awake citizens, and it was de-
cided to commence operations Immediately.
The names Of the incorporators are as fol-
lows:
j. W. Taylor, president; I. w. Hood,
secretary; 7. p. Thompson, treasurer;
Directors, j. B. Pattee, s. G. Madole,
and c. A. Bedford.
Capital subscribed is $4,000. Excel
lent clay for the purpose has been found
on the land Of Mr. J. B. Pattee, between
here and Beloit, near the Sioux bottom.
The fuel has been ordered and the neces-
sary material for sheds and buildings will
be on the ground soon. The work is to be
pushed to completion and expert brick
manufacturers have been engaged. More
will be said of this enterprise hereafter

Kendall's Combination,

Kendall's Combination and English
Comic Opera Company appear at Bed
ford's hall, commencing this (Thursday)
evening. The play selected for the open
ing night is good one and will be one
well suited to the taste of our citizens,
being Charlotte Bronte's dramatization,
in prologue and three acts of Jane Eyre;
or, The Orphan of Lowood, Mrs. Fl. A.
Kendall taking the difficult part. Mr..
and Mrs. H. A. Kendall have succeeded
admirably we'll in giving or producing to
their friends none but first class plays and
the result is that Kendall draws none
but full houses, and leaves favorable i'm
preston after his departure. In speak
ing of this company the Kansas City
Times says:
This excellent dramatic organization
began its first engagement In our city on
Monday evening, and we think we but
express the opinion of all who have wit
messed their excellent entertainment,
when we say it is the best and most talent
ed troupe that ever entertained a Kansas
City audience.
They present the finest plays known to
the English language, in beautiful man
ner, every character being portrayed as
natural as life itself.
Mr.. H. A. Kendall is an actor of great
metropolitan fame, and comes to us with
record that any artist might well feel
proud of, and he is supported by the most
complete stock company that ever visited
our city, and maintain their respective
parts true to life.
Mrs. Kendall's superb representation
of Juliet, in Shakespeare grandest love
tragedy-''Romeo and Juliet "-capti-
waited the hearts of her hearers, and es-
tablished reputation that will give her
warm welcome should she ever return
to this place.
The Omaha Republican in soaking of
the Kendall's says:
The music deserves especial mention,
the singing of Mrs Kendall being partic-
ularly fine The song ''Here the Gentle
Lark, - was sweetly rendered and com
pletely captivated the musical portion of
the audience, while the celebrated duet
from the opera of La Mascotte convuls-
ed every one from parqustte. to gallery.
The orchestra is complete in all its parts;
the selections were unexceptionable, and
the open air concert, before the curtain
rose, exquisite.

of the receipt of the news that Mrs. Iyer-
son presented him last week with II
pound boy, and that mother and son are
doing well. We regret to learn that Mr..
Iverson has been called from our midst,
it having been decided to put him in the
charge of the lumber yard at Scotland,
to which field he goes after he closes up
some matters in Minnesota. Hugo Loss,
lately in the employ of the st. Croix lum-
Der company at Eden, takes Mr., Iverson' S
place here, and welcome him to Canton.
One of those provoking and everlast-
ingly detestable errors which is met with
in almost every family or printing office
and to which this paper was no exception,
it seems last week, occurred in the person
al item concerning the visit of a bevy of
some of our citizens to Sioux City to wit
ness the Lawrence Barrett performance,
Friday night, but did not mention the
names of Mr. and Mrs. T. A. Gale as
among the party Mr.. Gale went on per-
sonal matters in connection with his new
building and concluded to take his wife
and wite's sister, Miss Pendexter, along.
A very pleasant time was had in viewing
the sights, Mr. Gale chartering carriage
and taking the ladies out riding. Mr.. G.
finished his business and all returned
home Monday evening.
The case of Chris H. Sogn vst the North

A Damaginp Hit.


Yesterday, says the Rock Rapids Re-
view of the 10th, word reached town of
the occurrence Saturday afternoon Of a
personal encounter between Reuben Hatch
and VIM. Martin, farm hand in Mr..
Hatch's employ, in which the former
seems to have been the agressor. After
the fracas was thought to be ended and
Martin had agreed to leave the premises,
Mr.. H. attacked him again with cow
bell striking him in the back part of the
head and fracturing his skull. Martin
walked about mile, to where L. Horton,
brother-in-law of Mr.. H. lived, when he
became delirious from the effects of his
wound. DR.. Neil, of Sibley, who was
called Sunday morning, considers the re-
covcry of Martin veryIdoubtful, These are
the particulars as they reached the Rap
ids yesterday. Hatch has been arrested
and was lodged in Jail.
From parties who were in attendance
upon court at the Rapids we learn that
woman figures in the affair.

Celebrating the Fourth.

This is May 18th and We would ask oul
citizens to not forget the fact that Fourth
of July is drawing apace This is one OF
the days in the calendar year that affords
a day of amusement, saying nothing as
to patriotism and the duty of a free and
glorious people, and it behoves us that
something should be done in the matter,
if we are to celebrate the day. 1t is we'll
enough to at least act upon the matter,
as other towns would probabyiike to:know
what Canton will do so that they could
attend and join us, or they may want
to prepare for the same purpose. Let
some of our old and influential citizens
take hold of the matter and start the ball
rolling. The Fourth coming on Tuesday
there are only six more publications of
the ADVOCATE in which the matter can
be laid before its readers. Lets celebrate.
