There was meeting Saturday night,
At Secretary Teller's Office. Of several
public spirited citizens. at which it was
decided to open the spring campaign in
behalf Of Yankton and adjoining coun.
ties in business like shape. Several
thousand dollars will be expended in
furnishing information to immigrants
and in directing their attention to the
garden Of Dakota, where farms can be
purchased at cheap rates and where all
the comports and luxuries of life are
available and none of the hardships of
frontierism exist. A general public meet.
ing of citizens is called for Wednesday
evening at Turner hall. to which oil are
invited who feel an interest IN peopling
the vacant lands of the region tributary
to Yankton.
Barney Cole brings information that
the Yankton Sioux were in council last
week and that they decided, without
dissenting voice, to sell the northern half
OF their reservation, which is composed
of some of the best land in the west.
Old Strike. their head chief, was their ad.
wiser and his head is usually level. His
proposition was to devote the proceeds
of the sale to the purchase of working
American horses. He told his followers
that Indian ponies were good enough to
carry squsws and to chase buffalo, but
as an adjunct to the pursuit of agricul-
ture they we're decided failure. He
said the effort to compete with the white
mans method of farming by the use of
Indian ponies was about as futile as to
scratch the soil with their finger nails
and expect the same results as followed
the use of the white mans plow and Gull
tivator. The Indian pony must go. The
Yanktons at their council also discussed
their agent and reached the conclusion
that he was about as useless as their
ponies.

Parkersburg.
Parkersburg Is q wicked city and delights
in poker, pugilism and cock fights, the
Journal being the sporting organ Of the
class. On Saturday night there was cock
fight between Parksrsburg and Chillicothe
birds, and double slugging match, which
are detailed by the organ as follows:
The scene Of the fight was in barn in
the Sixth ward, and there was large
crowd in attendance. From all accounts
excellent order was maintained. The first
fight that took was grand match for
$50 q side, between q large, white bird own
ed by Parkersburg parties, and Chilli
cothe bird. There was great excitement
over this match, as the Parkersburg bird
was heavily backed to win. The white
ORD was killed at the third fly and the
money went to the Orleans.
After this the Parkersburg sports were
very downhearted, and lost considerable
more money. There were about ten fights,
and Parkersburg only scored two unim'
pOrtant victories. There was at least 81 500
changed hands on the result, much to the
discontinue of the home sports. We IN.
derstand that this matter is not yet settled,
and that another meet will tax place in the
near future.
Several little fights took place last Satur-

saloon, where Two young fellows under

that he will have to furnish himself with

A horrible accident took place at Glen
Easton, yesterday afternoon, by which Mr.

place, lost q bright and promising little
girl. 1t appears that she and several Of
her companions were playing on the rail
road track when No. 4, the express train
from New York to Chicago, came rushing
down the grade and around the curve
about one hundred feet from where the
children were playing. The engineer, Mr..
John Cummins, saw the children, blew his
whistle and applied the sir brakes, but as
the train was going at such q rapid rate OF
speed, it could not be stopped in time to
save the little girls life. When the chill
dren saw the train coming they ran across

which the way train was standing, and 1t

Concentrate Vitality.

All excitants, to radically cure, must be
innocent. The art consists in continuing
their use until matters in the system con.
,raly to health are removed. Health finds
happiness in the mere sense of existence.
Brandreth's Pills stimulate the blood so
as TO enable nature to throw of all morbid
humors, and cure disease, no matter by
what name it may be called.
The secret of recruiting the vital princi-
pie is discovered in Brandreth's Pills, be-
cause they remove what holds it IN check.
II is believed they possess the elements Of
vitality. Heat, healthy animal warmth, is
certainly increased by the use Of this won
deriul medicine. Provided the greaf organs
are not irreparably injured, there is no dis
ease Brsndreth's Pills will not cure. The
true art of healing is to assist nature to
throw off disease-to concentrate, az ii
were, the whole vitality of the system to
eject the enemy that has fastened on q
part.
Get Brandreth's Pills! Be put of With
pope other And follow the printed di.
rections, and health will surely bless you.

Accidents.

About $500 clock last evening, serious
accident occurred in East Wheeling, by
which two persons were wounded and one
will probably lose his eyesight. The acct
dent was al explosion and took place at
the home Of John Cochran, No. 1915 Wood
street. He had just moved iato the house,
and his eightyesr-old son, Earl, with q
ntighbor's boy, were exploring the prem
ises. The last tenant was a railroad man
named Bliss, who had left two or three
railroad torpedoes lying about the yard.
Earl and his friend found one of them and
determined to see how il worked when
1t exploded. So they got q pair OF
tongs and hammer and while
Mr.. Cochran was working about the yard,
they started an arsenal. Suddenly the
torpedo exploded, with frightful violence,
hurting young Earl some distance away
and scattering fragments Of sheetiron In
every direction. The father was struck by
one Of these, but in the Excitement forgot
il, as Earl was apparently dead. Neighbors
ran in and the boy was carried within,
where Dr.. Baguley examined him. The
roor little fellow was only stunned, but
The explosion had terribly burned his face
and eyes and it is feared his sight is de
stroyed. The father was struck in the
neck with piece OF iron, severing the
iugular vein. He lost large quantity OF
blood before the flow could be checked.
Late last night the boy was resting quiet
ly, but il could not be told whether he
will recover his sight.
