THE NEW Posi- OFFICE.
A Removal to the Elegant Quarters Pro-
Yidled In FMrKO's New lslock.

A Removal to the Elegant Quarters Pro-
yilled In Fargo's New Bi"ck.
Tho new portofiice, in Fnrgo's new
block, Was opened to the public this
morning, the removal from the old loea
tiou having taken place between Eli
o'clock and midnight Saturday night.
The new office. fitted up by the Yale
& Tuwne Manufacturing company, of
Stanford, Connecticut, is as elaborate aD
affair US any city, eust or west, possesses.
The woodwork is white ash, finished with
oil, which retains the natural color and
grain OF tue wood. The boxes are set in
brouze and plate glass f,outs aud each
lock box is made secure by the latest I'M
proved Yale lock. Tue ash wood work
is surmounted by glass which reaches
to tho ceiling, wholly enclosing the
working department OF the Office and
separating it from the public room in
front. On the lett hand side Is o money
order and registered letter room, par
titioned off from the room assigned to
the general public, where money transac.
tions can occur apart from the crowd
usually found in postoff1ce. This room
is made OF heavy ash panels and the bust.
ness is transacted over an ash counter,
over which are placed ground glass slid-
ing windows. The interior arrange
ments of the Office ars perfect for the
care of mail and its rapid assignment to
boxes and drawers. The Office is COM
plete one throughout and one in which
the people of Yankton can take pride
after their long experience with the
dingy, patched up outfit which has
served them.
1t is the intention OF the postmaster to
keep the front doors OF the Office open
until eleven or twelve o'clock at night
and all day on Sundays for the con-
venience Of persons using lock boxes
This cannot be Done for day or two, as
everything Is yet in an unsettled condi-
tion and the building is not fully COM
pleted. 1t will take time for the inside
working force to aecustom themselves to
the location of boxes and this will make
the work of distribution slow at first
But this difficulty will be overcome in q
week or two.

At is Real Anthracite.

II 10 Real "A nthraclte.
Blunt Times: The Press and Dako-
taian discredits the story that anthracite
has been found on the Moreau. The
sample exhibited to the Times by Rev.
q. B. johnson, of LeBeau, was real an
thracite as the writer knows from long
familiarity with that kind of coal. The
only possible doubt is that the sack-full
from which this sample was taken.
might possibly have been brought to the
mines and used to salt" the prospect
hole, but the evidences seem to be
strongly against such suspicion.

PROBABLY PREMATURE.

But Glorious emocrattc Celebration.
Nevcr,heies.-saturd. Night Made tbs
Occasion OF Political RsJoioinH.
In obedience to the recommendation
of the democratic national committee,
the members Of the democratic organiza.
tion of Yankton to the number Of 200,
proceeded Saturday evening to celebrate
the alleged victory of Cleveland and
Hendricks with all the pomp and
paR eantry Of q Roman triumph. on q
small scale. Bonfres were kindled, the
cannon thundered and cheers rent the
air. while the martial melodies of the
band made music that every one enjoyed.
Ihe celebration in it's several features
was decidedly crsditable-and but for
the reasonable doubt that existed in re.
gard to the occasion which called it
forth, would have enlisted the co.opera-
tion of hundreds more who always take
pride in anything of public character
that Yankton attempts, whether it be to
celebrate political victory or entertain
and honor the veteran defenders of the
nation.
The chief feature of the out door ex.
ercises was the procession. This was
led by dozen of the unterrifed on
horseback, followed by the bearers OF
a number OF transparencies. proclaiming
that the hour of dellverance to an afaict.
ed nation had at last arrived, providing
the democratic national committee we're
not false prophets.
Next came the torch bearers to the
number of fifty, then tue band, and next
the broom brigade, which brought up
the rear and numbered about one hun
dred. In this column, bearing the EN-.
blem which is to make clean sweep,
the reporter detected the visages of the
expectant ones-those who have watched
and waited through long years OF tribu
latlon for the fruition of their politica
hopes, and who seemed to believe tina,
they had at last climbed to the height
where they could overlook the promised
land and would soon be permitted to ente
therein and enjoy the loaves and fishes
The line of march included the princi
pal thoroughfares of the city, and wa
terminated at Turner hall, where, unde
the presiding genius of Mr. Farmer, th,
exercises were concluded with congratu
latory speeches by Messrs. Tripp
Peemiller and Cosaty.
The business houses and residences O

minated and the city exhibited cond

even those who were supposed to

goods and furniture. Every article OF
furniture necessary to residence from

upholstery fabrics has never been excelled

the latest patterns in colors and designs
have been secured to supply the fall and

to SEQ the outspread of costly and beauti-

Of parlor aud library sets to match carpets

Ii is just as easy with Mr.. Hoeke TO make

it is with less capable and energetic es-

an inappropriate and unsatisfactory outfit.

The Capitol Cigar Stand.

Tho privilege of keeping tho cigar

is granted by the speaker. Mr.. W. W..
Scott, who died few days ago in New
Hampshire, had held the privilege for
about twelve years, although all sorts Of
efforts had been made and all kinds of in
fluence brought to bear to get him out by
people desiring the place. The secret of
his staying qualities lay largely in the
fact that he was the agent for most of the
railroad companies for the distribution of
passes to members and senators. Had it
not been for. this fact, although good
man and we'll liked, some rival would
doubtless have had his place years ago.
The news of Mr.. Scott's death bad scarcely
reached the city before scores of letters

death had left open.

cidod to change the namo of the organiza-

Mexico. A telegram was received from
the secretary of the American Train Dis
patchers association sending greetings,
and hoping that tho convention would
place itself on record as to the necessity of
more uniform systom of train rules and
signals. The matter was referred to u
special committee who will report that
the convention express or record tho ne
cessity of such system, but make no sug-
gcstions In view OF the fact that the meet
ing of railway superintendents at Boston
was to consider the matter this week. One
delegate pointed out that in Chicago
twenty companies, mostly with different
signals, were using tho same tracks. A

Prospects for Republicans In Louis

day afternoon, aud he was busy signing
franks for some congressman on the out
side of campaign documents. Mr.. Nc
Pherson had gono away, and but little
seemed to be going on.
At the democratic committee rooms all
was hustle and activity. Mr.. Post re-
ported IL to have been tho busiest day of
the campaign for him. When seen he was
smiling over the perusal Of a letter from
German, no loss singular in orthography
than matter. Tho writer was anxious for
an engagement to deliver campaign
speeches in German, and added that IL
the democrats did not want him he would
offer his services to the opposition.
Gen. Frank Maury, of Louisiana, NOM
Der for his state of the republican execu-
tive committee, had Just returned yester-
day to this city from meeting of the

that after the October election in Ohio
the republicans would fall into line there

Tho third congressional district (Kel-

chances were fair in the sixth district.
In the fifth district, now represented by
Gen. King, tho. chances for the republi-
cans are excellent. The democrats have
wrangled and split, nominating King and

COLOR NOT A BAR.

Secretary Lincoln Orders tho EnIist-
ment In the Signal Corps OF Col
ored Man. r,D
A lively discussion arose some months
ago over the refusal of tho chief signal
officer to permit the enlistment in the
signal corps of W. Howard Green, col.
ored man. The man was graduate of a
college and possessed moro than average
intelligence, but he was informed, after
passing the examination, that there was
no room for him among the weather
observers. The matter was apparently
allowed to drop, but recently the case was
presented to Secretary Lincoln, who de-
cided that color was no bar to appoint
ment in the signal corps. Yesterday the
secretary ordered tho enlistment of
Green, and he was forthwith enlisted.
He will be sent to Fort Myer this morn
ing. There his troubles arc expected to
begin, as certain subalterns are quoted as
having threatened to make it warm for
the colored recruit If he ever came over
there
