There is great yet undemonstratye rejoicing
here tonight over the selection of Bismarck
for the capital of Dakota. On every side are
heard praises for Alexander Mckenzie, men,
Der of the commission from Bismarck, who is
conceded by al to have been the most untiring
worker on the commission. Tho city has
been filled with strangers during the
past two days, and many capital
lists have invested largely At least
$500 900 worth of property has changed
hands in the past fol.y-eight hours. l. seems
to be settled fact that both the Milwaukee &
St Paul and the Northwestern will build to
Bismarck this year. Superintendent Prior, of
the Milwaukee L St Paul road. is here. and it
is it rnmored that both roads have secured
terminal facilities The most kindly feeling is
expressed for the pioneer line, the Northern
Pacific. which the people here regard as great
factor Ill bringing about, this happy result.
The future of Bismarck is now unquasioned.

the street discussing the matter The decision
Is received with much >satisfaction rs o rule
1t has been considered that Bismarck would he
the second choice of most of South Dakota
leave the question OF the capital of South
Dakota open. Yankton for the most
part shared this feeling. though soue
express fear that the same influence, as
they put it. which caused the selection Of Bis
marck may also prevent division. OF course,
Yankton has been almost unanimous ia con.
demnlng the removal, but tho location at
Bismarck is considered the best thing that
could be now done. When Yanktouian who
has taken great interest in the quo warranto
proceedings was asked whether ;he litigation
would be stopped, he replied that he
thought not. though the suit would
undoubtedly be pressed with less vigor An
other replied that they would be stopped bu,
sucb would not be the casa had the capital been
located in any South Dakota town. Those who
syndicate with the governor to locate the capi.
tai at Ordway. admit their mistake; but, with
shake of the head which is supposed to have
deep meaning, they assert that Alexander Nc
kenzie is 3 rustler Soma who have favored
the removal look upon the location at Bismarck

great mass of Dakota's population, Bismarck
is asinaccessible as Ysnkton.
