morning from Yankton agency, asking
why the Yankton Indians were not
invited to participate IN the Sd of July
celebration at Yankton, as we'll as the
Santee Sioux. We will state for the
information of the writer that the agent
at that point refused to allow the noble
red mea to leave their native lairs for
any such purpose.
A brand of Huron flour handled in
gankton by Oaya & Alder has been re-
gently tested as to its bread making
merits by one of Yankton's model house
keepers, and it has been found to COM
pare fav0rably with the Ysnkton roller
mills flour, which ia adjudged q stand
ard article in the market. The -four is
called the Mayhower and is deserving
of q trial.
Press Agent Davis, of Coles circus,
reached Yankton last night from Mitch
ell in his palace office car. In that car
all the advance press business necessary
is done for Coles big show, and it is a
model Of convenience. The car left for
Sioux City this morning. In about ten
days coach number 2 will arrive snd in
it will be found q talking cookatoo
which will astonlsh any who happen to
be around.
On the south side of the circus bill
board directly opposite the First National
bank may be seen one Autographed bill
sixty feet long, which is really a ousios-
ity in It's way. In lithographlng this
bill something over a hundred stones
were used, and it cost m enormous sum
to prepare the stones, and after having
secured the pattern it cost twelve dol
lars to make each bill. The Cole circus
have used them for two years and have
usually put but ono in each town.
To-day a change takes place in the
conductorBhlp of the regular daily
freight train on the Northwestern road

gentlemanly conduct, has made many
friends, goes to Columbia to a more i'm
portant position on a construction train.
L, A. Anderson, an experienced man and
an old and worthy servant of the North
western company, takes Mr.. Kernan's
| place on the train here. This change
promotes both these men, Mr.. Herman
going to a better position. and Mr..
Anderson being lifted from the boss-ship
OF o gravel train to a conductors place.

and Is an effective appliance. The inven-

val, aud as q result of his labors the
curious will find o line of stakes from q
point on the Northwestern track, some

course reaches the Pearl street side OF
the Wilcox lumber yards and here il
divides, q line running up Second street
to Mulberry where it turns again to-
ward the river. Another line runs corne
