McFadden's presentation of Uncle
Toms Cabin last night was rather out of
the usual, but was not altogether I'M
welcome to the not very large, but de-
cidely s~ppreciatlve, audience which was
gathered at Turner hall to witness this
play. The drama itself was we'll
rendered, and the short parts of
comedy which were interpersed gave
relief from the sadder scenes of the
story. The troupe had with them some
very large dogs, some very small donkeys
and some very good comedians and
plantation singing negroes. A
feature which was particularly interest
ing was the jig dancing. The dancer is
truly an artist in that line. The show
was deserving of a much better audience,
than that which greeted them. They
give an entertainment full of Ell ioyment.
On the Walnut street baseball
diamond last evening were gathered
nearly a dozen of Yankton's baseball
devotees and several of the attaches Of
McFadden's Uncle Toms Cabin troupe,
o2e of whom finally got into the pitchers
cage and began to throw balls at the
various batters which fairly made them
dizzy. The boys had previously held
the idea that the Yankton pitchers were
rather fly, but now they are not of that
mind. Mr.. Actor threw balls which
went up, down, out, IN and crosswise and
the way in which the batters stamped
around trying to get out of the way, only
to be hit, was rather amusing. After
each man had carefully noted the
manner IN which he held the ball in his
hand the sport closed and the stranger
was voted the best ever seen here.
ID. w. White, of this city, proprietor
of the Cedar street gun store reached
home from Chicago yesterday. During
an absence Of ten days or more his store
has been closed a great portion of the
time. and passers by were attracted to O
neatly written card posted on the inside
OF the front door upon which were the
words: "Gone to the Happy Hunting
Grounds" When MIR. White yesterday
noon approached his own door, yalise in
hand, he was observed to bend over and
scan carefully the announcement of his
departure to beatitc realms where the
spiritualized chase ia the ayocation of
the inhabitants. Instead Of wrath dis
tortiDg his visage,a broad smile lit UP
his c~ountenance as he paused a moment
In contemplation of the work of a wag
and our reporter who noticed him de.
clares he saw mischief lurking in the
east and west corners of his eyes. Mr..
White will get even with the wretch who
so prematurely sent him into the land
of spirits.

Sioux Falls Press: A writer in the
Yanhton Press makes a sensible sugges.
tiens IN regard to identifying the streets
of that city. The point he makes is that a
sort of park be made along each side of
the residence streets, by appropriating a
strip about twenty feet wide next to the
sidewalk, and leaving a strip about forty
feet wide for the roadway. The Iest of
the street could be turfed and planted to
trees, and be cared for as a public park.
The Press considers this q very useful
suggestion, and it repeats it for the
benefit of the people Of this beautiful
city. Why should not the residence
streets OF all the small towns be partly
turfed. They are not much travelled
and all the space needed is enough for
two teams to pass. If grass and trees
were growing on the sides, the result
would be less dust and heat, and o pros
poet that would be beautiful to behold
The thing could not be done in
one year, prehaps not in five, but q be-
ginning could be made at any time.
