Yankton county's convention is owe,
and its candidates for delegates to the
Sioux Falls constitutional convention
have been named. The following gen.
tlemen we're nominated:
Chief Justice A. J. Edgerton, of Yank.
ton city.
General Hugh J. Campbell, of Yank.
ton city.
Rev. Joseph Ward, D. d., Of Yankton
city.
Major j. II. Hanson, of the second pre-.
cinct.
The list is good one and the wisdom
OF the convention is to be commended.
The voice of the people prevailed and
the voice of tue proxy was profoundly
silent. The old tactics were abandoned
and with their abandonment the original
slate went to pieces. Perhaps the mis-
sionary work of the past week or two
has produced, Temporarily at least, the
desired reformation. Certain it is that
the customary manipulation of oreden-
tials and the irregular preparation of
proxies were omitted. Precincts four,
five, six, seven, nine, ten and
twelve, to which were allotted
thirty-three delegates, were unrepre-
sented IN the convention, the &C.
tual representation in that body being
ffty-nine out Of a possible ninety.seven.
Under the old method most of the miss.
ing delegate from country precincts
would have been represented by proxies,
but on this occasion the favorite dodge
was not resorted to. As result mem.
bers of the convention who are not al.
lied to the combination were permitted
to exercise influence and were treated
with respect amounting almost to defer.
ence. 1t is hoped that this reformation
may be lasting. though there is reason to
suspect that 1t was more a result of the
force of circumstances than an actual
change of heart.

An Alarmed Fisherman.

One morning, after eight days OF
steaming up the kiva, Stanley, the
African explorer, discovered that the
river was the outlet of a large lake,
which,. subsequently, he named Lake
Leopold H., after the king of Belgium,
Acting upon the rule, never to aban-
don a good thing until you have seen
it through, lest you never havethe OPP
pOrtunity again, he resolved to cir
cttmnavigate it. Seeing half-a-dOzen
tishermen's canOes out on the lake, he
bore down upon them, hoping to gain
information and fresh food. All save
one canoe, as soon as the fishermen
heard and saw the noisy steamer, fled.
The occupant of the remaining canoe
was hauling in his seine, when he, too,
heard the noise of the paddle-wheels.
He fell sidewise into his canoe, rs if
paraIyzed. Then Ieaping to his feet,
and bending to his paddles, he sent
the tiny canoe swiftly over the water.
Says Stanley, describing the capture:
He observes the monster rapidly
gaining on him. He hears the whirl of
the wheels, and the throbbing of the
engine, and putting of the steam.
Another glance, and he springs over
board, and we sweep past the empty
CanOe.
As we came up he dived, and our
two sailors flashed into the depths
after him. They brought him up, each
holding an arm, and swan with him
to the boat.
"Now, Ankoli, speak softly to the
pOOrman."
In soothing whispers the native guide
asked what his name was.
"What did you pick me out for?"
the fisherman asked. There are many
better than l i'll our village"
What does he mean, Ankoli?"
"He MEANS" answered the guide,
"that there are finer slaves than he is
in the village"
"Ah! There have been slave-catchers
here, them"
Having evidently obtained all the
information the poorfellow could give,
we filled his two hands with bright
beads, and laid a dozen handkerchief
by his side. Then bringing the canoe
alongside, we asked him to stepi in, and
placed his cloth in the stern of it, with
a small parcel of cowries. s.
After he had stepped in, he did not
seem to realize that he was a free and
rich man until there was such a dis
lance between us that he thought it
impossible for us to catch him again.
When he seemed a speck in the lake,
we saw the figure rise to it's height, and
then we knew that he was conscious
that he was free.

The Princess of Wales Snubs Mrs.
Langtry.

A London dispatch to the Boston
Herald says: The society journals de-
nounces the Lonsdale-C hetwynd fight
IN the most u~nequivocal terms, and
Lord Lonsdale, WHO'S a brother of the
dissipated character who was the first
husband of Mrs. Langtry's friend,
Ladyde Grey GLADYS Lady Lonsdale),
is generally condemned.
As for Mrs. Langtry, she was sub
jected three days later to the greatest
slight that could be inflicted upon a
woman in her position, deliberate cut
from the Princes of Wales, whois not
the plasticd doll in the Princes hands

sode occurred at the Coombe House,

her pastoral players were giving their

Langtry who droppedthe usual quaint
courtesy with which royalty is receiv.

A hundred eyes watched the group.
1t has often been said, and not unjust
ly, that the Prince of Wales is remark
able for his tact, but even the most
distinguished social warriors some
times lose their heads where a pretty
woman's interests are concerned, and
at this moment if any Mrs. Langtry
needed the consolation Of royalfavor.
The Prince plucked the Princess by
the sleeve, after saying to Mrs. Lang
try in quite a loud voice, ooh, the
Princess would like to tellyou-" The
Princess turned around, surveyed Mrs.
Langtry quite as though she did not
see her, gave so light q bow that the
inclination of the head was almost Inn
| perceptible, and then deliberately
turned her back and resumed her con
versation with her friend. 1t was the
hottest day of the season, but the
thermometer seemed to drop a hun
dred degrees; the Prince looked Ok
| qulsitely foolish. Mrs. Langtry'sc con.
fusion was painful to behold, and the
social axe had fallenl But this new

Star Oily Notes.

LAFAYETTE. Feb. 16.-F. b. Caldwell :,
cuaer OF the opera-house, street car line
and skating Kinks, is the victim of base
conspiracy. Several attendants of his rink,
among them leading society people, have re-
ceiYed offensive notes, with Mr.. Caldwelrs
signature, requesting them not to attend his
rink any more hereafter in order to save the
reputation OF the latter. Mr. Caldwell,
being addressed about the matter on differ
sns occasions, took the remarks OF the COM
plsinsnts for mere jokes, answered them in
the same manner as being spoken to. The
wife OF 8 leading merchant who had also re-
oeiysd one Of the insulting notes, questioned
the proprietor of the rink in q very earnest
manner about the subject Imagine that
gsntleman's surprise at thus being addressed.
de was unable to answer these interrog ato-
Ties, bat established bis innocence By the de.
lection OF the guilty party. In vestigstion
developed the person to be young widow
CT high standing, with no other motive than
personal spite. Mr.. Caldwell has engaged
several attorneys to prosecute the guilty
party TO the full extent of the law. This
promises TO be an interesting case.
An accident occurred on the Monon Road
on Saturday afternoon, near Battle Ground,
seven miles north of this city, to q special
excursion train from Chicago bound for
New Orleans. The two sleepers in the rear
OF the train were thrown of the track, but
luckily no persons were injured. The cause
OF the wreck was q broken rail.
A part of the county officers moved into
the new Courthouse, Saturday, and others
will soon follow.
The final opening OF the new skating rink,
Friday night, was grand affair. At least
6C0 couple were on the floor until a late
hour. Mr.. c. S. Tsrlton, of Indianapolis,
hiss been engaged as manager and instructor,
with Max Talbot, Robert McMullen and
Louis Jackson IS assistants.
