Young Women Investing In Land

From the Lisbon (Dak) Star.
A young widow who came to Lisbon
took a presumption claim to 100 acres,
proved up and got a title to her land,
then took another claim under the
homestead law of 100 acres, on which
she is now living, and as the possessor
of 800 acres of the richest sell on Gods
f%ootstool she is, of course. considered
worth having, and several bachelors in
the vicinity are glarlng at each other
with fire in their eyes and hatred in
their hearts toward their rivals,
In Lisbon not q few servant girls have
taken up claims, and intend to cultivate
them by contract; probably any one Of
them could realize from $500 to $3.50 each
for their land. One young lady who is
clerking in one of the stores in town, is
the possessor Of a number of town lots
In addition to several quarter sections of
land. The land is worth probably $25
an acre, but she came into possession of it
by taking advantage of the preemption,
homestead, and free claim laws. Her
town lots were bought when prices were
low' sa1 5ppn an the b.p proceeds now .G o.
iced to nearly ten times the price she
pau loT them. announcer young lauy VINO
look up a preemption claim last fall has
the satisfaction Of knowing that a rail-
way survey has since been made across
it. and it is not improbable that she may
yet become the owner of a town site
worth from $4,000 to 100000. 1t is a
very poor town site hat is not worth the
former sum, $50 lots at 5000 each. max
ing that amount; aquarter section of land
will make about 800 ordinary town lots
allowing for streets and avenues.

YANKroN, Oak, Special Telegram, April 3.
For the past week or ten days, the sheriff of
Yankton county, with deputies, has been on
the lookout for the capital commission when
they should come here to file their bonds and
organize. a close watch has been kept over
Gov. Ordway's Office and residence. Deputies
have watched every incoming train for the
commissioners, and have guarded the river
shores lest they should float over
from Nebraska, organize and drift away
before the officers of the law could
reach them. For some days it has been rumored
that Judge Edgerton had issued prohibition
papers, but the papers were of the nature of
quo warranto, and issued by District Attorney
Smith ct the instance of the city of Yankton.
1t is said that advice had been secured from
G. c. Moody, Bartlett Trip, Gamble Brothers
and Dewey & French, all Of whom will appear
before court, when the matter finally comes
up for hearing. But,
NOTWITHSTANDING THE DILIGENCE
and watchfulness of the Yankton officials. thew
were not quite a match for the members of
the commission. For several DAYS these
gentlemen have been stopping a. Sioux Civ
pending the arrangement of their qualifying
bonds before appearing in Yankton, The pro-
liminaries were completed yesterday, and this
morning ct 2 O'Clock the, commission left
Sioux City on q special train for Caution. via

Death of Peter Cooper ofNew York,


Peter Cooper of New York, whose rep
ntation as a p%hilanthropist is worldwide,
died on Wednesday morning at the age of
81. He had been suffering since Sunday
with a cold, which developed into pneu-
monia. His great age prevented his recov-
cry, although the best and most skil!ful
physicians were in attendance. Tuesday
evening it was feared that the attack would
take a serious turn, but it was no: until af-
ter midnight that all hope was lost. Nj.
Cooper then began to realize the fact that
that his end was approaching and about 2
o'clock Wednesday morning called his son,
ex-Mayor Cooper, his daughter, Mrs. Abra-
ham s. Hewitt, and her husband to his bed
side where he informed them that he was
dying. His grandchildren were summoned
present. AT that time Mr.. Cooper
was perfectly conscious and spoke clear
ly to those around him. About
three O'Clock he passed gently away, as
Mr. Hewitt said to a correspondent, like a
child going to sleep" He had lived a long
span and having had a good vigorous con-
stitution, which he never abused, his las.
hours were painless. During the recent i'll
ness he spoke Of his desire that the Cooper
Institute should be maintained, that having
been one OF the objects of his devotion.
News OF his death soon spread through
the city of New York exciting feelings of re-
greet. Flags were at half mast on Coopers
institute. city hail, postotlice, newspaper
offices, and other public and private
buildings, and great honors were
paid to his memory.
Peter Cooper, the Oldest native resident of
New York, the man who bniltthe first loco
motive ever made in the United States, and
through whose agency 10000 people have
been educated, was born in New York on
Feb. II, 1871. During the revolutionary
war his maternal grandfather, John Camp
bell, was an alderman of New York, and
deputy quartermaster general, and expen-
ded a private fortune for his
country. His father was a lieu
tenant in the same war. Mr.. Cooper gave
away morn sums, but prospered in a
proportionate manner. In 1854 he laid the
corner stone of Cooper institute. the great
est monument to his philanthropy, at the
Junction. of the Third and Fourth avenues
New York, to be devoted forever to the I'M
ION OF the art and science in their appllca-
ton to the useful purposes of ife." Ii cost

the last legislature. 1t takes up the mat
ter of appropriations for public build
ings and shows the necessity therefor.
1t explains the reasons for lack of har-
mony between the Fourteenth Legislative
assembly and the executive, and shows
how any similar condition was ave rted
this year.. 1t discusses fully the capital
commission business, which the COVER
justifies, and shows by an extract
from his message two years ago that the
plan now adopted was the same he then
recommended. A copy of the bill is
printed in full, and it is shown that the
commission will not draw ! cent from
the taxpayers ofthe territory. The gov
ernor denies that so far as he himself
was concerned there was any bargain or
sale or agreement made directly or in
directly, or any improper means used to
influence votes, and challenges any II
to produce proof to the contrary,

It appears from facts and figures lately
published from the New Hampshire
board of health that the Yankee is disap-
pearing from that state, During the
last year there was an actual loss of 800
in the American population of that state
from the excess of births over deaths.
If we consider in connection with this
the steady streams of emigration which
carry the Yankees south and west and
fill their places with Canadians and
Irishmen, the conclusion is forced upon
us that the year is not far away when
the race that settled New Hampshire
and has furnished the brain and Drawn,
that have made the little commonwealth
famous, will have become practically ex-
tinct. But what is the loss to New
Hampshire is an i%ncalculable gain to
other sections of the country. What the
new races will do for the Granite State,
time alone can determine.

THE SIOUX FALLS MEETING.

The call for a meeting Of citizens Of Dakota
brought out a very large crowd Of people from
every county. MI. King OF Chamberlain was
chosen chairman of the meeting, who, in taking
his scat. eloquently said he had come, with the
hundreds before him. to take some steps to
maintain the honor Of Dakota. Gov. Edmunds,
being called upon, was introduced as an hon
est man who had lived in Dakota
Tor twenty-five years, and he proceeded
10 show up the pet measures of Gov,
ordway. He said that Yankton was willing to
give up the capital, hut wanted it to go in an
honorable way. Miller OF Elk Point spoke on
the capital commission ''got up for and by
old man Ordway," and trusted it would hasten
the day whom his excellency should return, to
the hills of New Hampshire. He said Petit

The City Election.

The city election last Tuesday was for coun-
cilmen. The only question which. wss dis.
cussed previous to the. d&y of election was
the hog law and the election turned upon that
issue. In the first and second wards no can
didates could be u to champion the exist
ing ordinance. In the fourth ward Mr.. B.. T,
John, In 9 circular, announced. himself rs a
candidate ct the solicitation of many friends
At the polls he received 16 votes. In the
third ward Mr.. VIC. McCausland contested
the election with Nh. A. v. Robinson, the
former being in " of restraining swine
from running at large. Despite Mr.. McCaus-
lands extreme modesty, which prompts him
to think otherwise, we must believe that he
Is stronger than the question which he cham
pioned. His splendid record as a councilman,
his intelligent, energetic, Jealous service in
the interest of the city, were all SO largely in
his favor that he was invfncible. Mr.. Robin.
son has nothing to. be- ashamed of in tho race,
MI. McCausland was the only man in the
ward that could have given him any sort of
trouble. -.
q To sum up the situation, three councilman
were elected who favor the repeal of the
present ordinance, and one who favers its re-
tention. With the overwhelming popular
vote against the ordinance it would seem
questionable whether the mayor would veto
an ordinance Of repeal. There will DO in
favor Of repeal two votes from the first, two
from the second, and one certain from the
fourth ward. Mr.. Love from the fourth ward.
If he regards the wishes Of his constituents,
as expressed by q vote of 50 to IS, will also
vote that way. We do not, however. see any
use for excitement about the matter. The
present ordinance on the subject is q fimsy
and inadequate one anyhow, and ought to be
repealed even If q law with its intent Is to re.
main upon the city statute book. On the
other hand it will not be long until tho couu.
ty will vote on the question, the result of
which vote will permanently settle the mat
ter, If the county determines to restrain the
swine.
Tit engine proposition, it will be observed,
was voted down by an overwhelming maiori-
ty, there being l15 votes in its favor, and aso
against it.
The votes in the wards were as follow..
