The breaking of a window in the ga

street audience this afternoon.
j. +. Tfaster, expert miller for the
roller process manufacturing firm of q

charge of the Excelsior mill, testing it's
new machinery.
e. j. Fancher was awarded the son,
tact for carrying the United States mail
between the Milwaukee depot and the
postofice and began making the run
yesterday morning.
The citizens league men sish it I'M
stood that no injury of any kind is IN
tended toward mankind. The organi-
cation was completed for the purpose of
seeing the city laws enforced.
Sam Folyer's figures on coal show that,
under the present reduction caused by
the coming of the Northwestern road,
the people of Yankton save $4,000 per
year upon this one commodity, which
vial pay the interest on the bonds for
four years.
Several of the housewives of Yankton,
have tried the new brand of patent
flour made by the Excelsior Roller
Mills and pronounce it the best that was
ever converted into bread. The proprie-
tors of the mill have had several tests of
the flour made. and they are in every
way satisfactory.
J. q. Dwight, of Sioux City, is in
Yankton~ adjusting the loss sustained by
f. Pfotenhauer in the recent fire. Mr..
Dwight is acting for the German iusur-
ance company, of Freeport, III. J.. 1.

The young folks literary and aid So
c1ety, organized about a week ago, held
its weekly meeting at DIR. Van Ostrum's
residence on Locust street last night,
and passed q very pleasant evening.
The officers of the society are as follows:

Batchelder, secretary; John Coucher,
treasurer. The regular order of bust
ness was disposed of, after which a
literary programme was gone through
with. The next meeting occurs on
Tuesday next, at the parsonage.
Regular meetings of the Woman's
Christian Temperance Union will in the
future be held on the first and third
Thursdays of each month. En- accord
ance with this arrangement, the society
will assemble at three o'clock tomorrow
afternoon IN the audience room of the
Congregational church and q full atten.
dance is asked for, as important business
will come before the society on that
occasion. The secretary of the society
inner appeal to the society says: Ladies'
OF the society, let us, as we
value our homes and our
dear ones, arouse ourselves to the
great need of woman's work in this cause
IN our beloved city. The W. @. T. U.
have done a good work here in the past,
but past deeds will not fill present and
future needs.'
Samuel Kaucher, of this city, an old
and practical mill furnisher, has been
granted patents on two new articles of
machinery, which promise to attract
much attention Iii the milling world as a
new departure. MIR. Kaucher claims
thai his new crcsher, or grinder, is as
far. ahead Of the present rollers as rollers
are ahead of stones. His latest inyen-
tlon is known as O wheat huller. The
machine cleans the grain of its outside
covering and leaves the interior intact.
This is the reverse of the roller mill
process, which begins the reduction of
wheat to flour from the inside, while the
new departure begins on the outside.
What IS known as e degerminator, for
making hcminy out of Dakota corr is
another invention patented by Mr..
kaucher. 1t does the work of remov-
lng.the germ of the corn without ipjurng
the harder portion. These machines have
been tried, and are said to be a success
IN every way. A mandatory located at
Yankton will probably be the result of
these inventions.
Public sensitinessess is one q natures
curious freaks. We innocently remarked
the other day that "there was a hen on
In the police department" WhereupoD
the community becomes strangely sus-
picious and all sort of Wild theories are
ahoat regarding the quality of the egg
this fowl is to lay or the color of the hair
OF the chickens she is about to hatch,
The dear public acts as though it had
done something wrong and had been
caught at it and the newspapers had
given it away. We have been impor-
tuned to reveal the secret and even base
bribery has been limited at in some in
stances as o coercive measure, Bang
poor but honest, these corrupt advances
have only developed an inaexible deter
mination not to tell. The melancholy fact
that we know nothing more about the
hen than has already been promulgated
may account in q measure for this spell
of infexibility. Judge Coneleton made
semi-oficial reference to the before.men-
toned poultry one day to the hard up
