18th parallel AMI east OF the Missouri
1t was probably thankfully received.
The Northwestern officials who VISITED
Yankton last night said they were max
ing one of their periodical trips owe,
the road and had no special business
before them. 1t is customary for then
to run over their lines at this time OF the
year to look at the growing crops and
figure on the probilities for the fall and
winter business.
Tad Poore, one of the Press end Do.
kotaian carrier bcys, was severely bitten
on the arm last night by w. I. Reads
dog. He was delivering a paper at Geo.
Browne, when the dog, without provo
cation, suddenly caught him By the
arm, in1icting a painful wound. This is
the first bad break made by this dog and
it should be the last.
Richey is the party who is responsible
for the statement that himself and MIR.
Karr had got done on the new artesian
we'll. He is being groomed as a humerist.
Dunn is the name of one of the men at
work on the we'll. We do not assume any
of the honors. Several city officials have
been up on the hill to-day to see about
it. They say it's all right. The work is
being we'll done.
Professor Taylor, of the Dakota COM
mercial college, tells US to-day that his
patronage is rapidly on the increase and
that he feels greatly encouraged over
the outlook for q large school. A class
consisting of public school children
alone, meets at the college at four o'clock
on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays,
and a class in painting meets at that
hour on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Sat-
r-acJs. This work, together with the
regular work, keeps Prof. Taylor rather
busy.
1t has been decided that the Yankton
lire department will be represented at
Pierre during the tournament. The city
council last night passed an ordinance
allowing the boys $3.50 for the expenses
of the trip. Twenty-Five men will go and
they promise to make some of tie other
teams stretch Themselves if they run
down the prizes. Chief kencil guarantees
that the money will be made to go as far
as possible in outfitting and meeting x
penses and he believes the participation
of his department in the tournament will
Improve Its members in their work.
They now stand at the head of Dakota
organizations as actual fire quenchers
and a little OF the ornamental side OF the
service will not hurt them.
There have been filed with the
county officers Of Wayne county, Ne
bTaska, articles of Incorporation of the
Northeastern Nebraska railroad COM
pany. The avowed object of the organiza-
ton is to construct a railroad from
Wayne to Niobrara. The preliminary sur
vey was made last winter and the perman,
ent line run o few weeks ago. 1t is probab-
ly this survey which has from time to time
been reported in the Press and Dakota
ian, as the line would naturally run in
the neighborhood Of the MacIagan &
Pierce farm. Among the incorporates
names we recognize one as that of an
engineer in the service of the Chicago
& Northwestern company, and the
enterprise is undoubtedly to be credited
to that corporation. The road, if built,
will run midway between the two ex.
tensions to Harrington and to Creighton,
| about twelve miles from each.
