Although the concert given by the
Sioux City musical and dramatic club,
at Turner hall last evening, was not as
we'll attended as the merits of the COM
bination would justify, those who were
present were highly appreciative and
happily entertained. The programme
| was an exact repetition of the one pre-
sented the evening before, but was rem
dered in a happier and more at home
manner. Should the organization visit
other Dakota towns, we bespeak for
them G welcome and d more generous

Paymaster Alex. Sharp has been or
dered to duty at Leavenworth, Kansas,
| where he is directed to report on the
10th of December. This intelligence
will be received with heartfelt regret by
the people of this community. Major
Sharp and his estimable family have been
prominently identified with the social,
religious and educational interests OF
Yankton for many years and have aided
materially in promoting every worthy
project in which the people have engag-
ed, and worthily occupy a warm place il
the affections of our people. When
they are gone their places will remain
untitled and their memories will be
cherished by a host OF good people.
