Voters, Vote.

NOte
We hope the republicans of Yankton
county appreciate the importance to the
country of full vote on election day.
1st. The mum ber of votes is the only
criterion of Dakota's present population.
matter vital to attaining division and
admission at tho next session of con.
gress.
End. The vote for Judge Clifford will
doubtless be taken as the basis of repre-
sentation of the several counties in the
next republican convention.
3rd. In case of division and admission,
which will undoubtedly occur before an
other election. the vote cast in November
by each county will form the basis for
that county's representation in ~ the
constitutional convention; (2) in both
branches of the general assembly, which
will elect United States senators; l3) in
the district for representative in con-
gress; az in the district for Judge of cir :
cult court and prosecuting attorney ;(5)
in all the political conventions in the
new state for nominating county distric,
and state officers.
The republicans Of Yankton county
cannot afford, in view OF these facts, tc
stay away from the polls. The vote is
the most important and far reaching in
its influence that you will ever be per.
mltted to cast, Organize the voters al
each precinct into solid phalanxes fol
the protection of the county's interests
on election day. Regrets for failure
on the part of our citizens to do theil
duty now and do it we'll, will be lasting
and vain.

News of the Track.

New York Times JAN 80: 1t is report
ed that the Rock Island and St. Paul are
tired of their connection with the Western
Trunk Line association. When the trip
artite agreement was made it was expected
that the Burlington and Missouri would
be induced to join 1t, and these two roads
would then have shared in its business at
Omaha. The admission of the Wabash
and Northwestern rather disturbed these
calculations, and when the Burlington
refused to come in on the terms proposed,
the necessity for a continuance of the
association was a perplexing question.
Should the present complications result in
breaking it up, grief is not likely to be
universal. There is clause in the
tripartte agreement providing that in case
o cut rate is made, which is Objectionable
to any line, member of the association,
rates shall be advanced to the tariff pend
ing investigation and decision by the
commissioner Under that clause the
commissioner could have consented to an
advance in Utah rates and subsequently
heard complaints and rendered his decision
in accordance with the facts.
r. R. Gable, the president of the Rock
Island road, in an interview with New
York Times reporter, Tuesday, said that
no settlement of the western trunk line
troubles had been made All The roads
were in the tripartite arrangement, with
the Union Pacific, except the Burlington.
THE Burlington wants the other lines to
divide the business coming from the Union
Pacific with it, resolutely said Mr.. Gable,
who has gained a reputation as persist
ent fighter, ''but it will never get it. /
know of one line that will never yield to
it, and that is the Rock Island. We take
the ground that we own the business in
Nebraska as much as the Burlington owns
our business on the Burlington and Mis-
souri,. 1t is absurd for the Burlington to
think we are going to divide the local
business of the Union Pacific with it I'M
less it divides its local business with us.
The Burlington has its own through line
by connecting with the Rio Grande, which
meets the Central Pacific at Ogden, but
two changes have to be made in ship
ments that way. The Colorado pool and
part of the Nebraska pool do not expire

The Late Mr., 81. o. SleiFht,

Mr. II. o. Sleight, of Moline, who died
very suddenly from apoplexy, ON Thurs
day morning, was in 1860 county treas
urer of Henry county, and removed to
Cambridge, the county seat. He settled
in Moline in the fall OF 1871, at which
time he became member of the firm of
Dimock, Gould & Co, and was for four
years secretary of the establishment
After selling out his interest in Dimock,
Gould & Co.'S he became a member of
the Union Malleable Iron Co, and until
the fall of 1881, al which time he sold out,
he was the secretary and treasurer of the
company. Mr.. Sleight was member OF
the Old Settlers associations of Rock ISL
and and Henry counties, The funeral
will occur Saturday at 2 p. m. from the
Congregational church in Moline.

Probable Billiard Tournament.

Mr. William Cation whose billiard
playing is attracting considerable atten-
ton among the lovers of that amusement,
was formerly in the employ of Mr.. H. J.
Symes, in this city. Mr.. Cation, wrote
to Mr. Symes few days ago asking Mr..
Symes to contest for the championship of
Illinois. As is well known, Mr.. Symes is
one of the finest billiard players in the
west, and in such an event he would I'm
doubtedly win the stakes. He will
probably consent to play, and if so he
will arrange it so that one of the series
of games will be played in this city, which
will attract large number of lovers of
the sport from abroad. He will de-
eide In a few days, and if favorable, all
the necessary arrangements will be made
for the tournament. Mr. Cation has
great faith in Mr.. Symes' billiard playing
and thinks he would be able to win the
champion cue of the state.

A MIXED AFFAIR.
Considerable Wrangling as to Who
Shall Represent the City at
Washington.
THE SITUATION.


For the past few days rumors of all
kinds have been aioat in regard to what
was being said and done in regard to the
question of appointing delegates to the
western water ways convention which is
to be held in Washington on the 5th
That the city council should vote to send
half Of their number at the city's expense
has caused great cry of dissatisfaction
from the people generally. Some have
denounced the councils action In the most
emphatic terms, and declare that the city
is being imposed upon by its supposed
guardians. And then there is fault found
with the delegation from the Business
Mems Association, although they agree to
pay their own expenses. The whole
racket" is evidently brought about by
too many people with lakes to grind"
and who take this means of seeking re-
venge for some fancied wrong. A few
days ago the postoffice question was The
all absorbing topic, but that has sank into
insignificance beside thelatest demand for
public attention.
The AReUsis sorry to see this wranglfng
and quarrellng. Such antagonistic feel
ings as now prevails are disastrous as well
as foolish We think it was mistake to
appoint so many delegates from the coun-
Gil, end that half or less that number
would have been sufficient. On the other
hand, if the city council had remained
silent and refused to appoint delegates
there would have been equal dissatisfac-
ton. Mayor Mott was repeatedly urged
to call special meeting for that purpose,
and if he had not done so. there would be
no end of blame attached to him for his
apparent disinterestedness If there is
any pleasure in the trip. the members of
the council evidently thought they were
as much entitled to holiday as any one,
and so took advantage of the situation.
Then take the delegation from the
Business Mems association. The cry is
raised that older and naturally wiser men
should be substituted. If enough trouble
is taken to look back and see who were
first appointed by President Stewart, it
will be seen that not young man was
among them, The persons appointed
refused to go, however, and the young
men came forward aud said they would
represent the city.
We trust the matter will be vet salts
factorily settled, and that Rock Island will
not be handicapped at the convention by
the i'll feeling that now prevails

Rock ISLAND, Feb, l, 1874 would
like to make few remarks in regard to
the charity fund. We citizens supposed
the money derived from the concert
Thanksgiving eve had gone to make few
homes in our city more comfortable, but
instead, it seems, the money has been laid
away, We have had some very severe
cold weather since then, and no doubt
many of our poor have suffered while the
money which should have been expended
for them was laid away; and now, since
the charity ball was such success hope
the ladies will take it upon themselves to
visit every poor home in the city. Do moi
be afraid of soiling your skirts or injecting
contagious disease, but go with a prayer
tul and humble heart, seeking to do good,
end God will aid you in your efforts. G.
