greatly encouraged thereby. To effect
the organization was a long and hard
struggle, but it has at last been crowned
with success.
An application was made last night by
the citizens league, to the city council
for the appointment of a special police
man, to be paid by the league, whose
duty it should be to operate under the
directions of the league for the accom-
pllshment of the objects for which that
organization has its existence. The
council was not clear as to its authority
to create q Especial policeman for this
work and the matter was referred t. the
city attorney.
Actual figures count and the Yank-
ton insurance company is in a condi-
ton to show thereby its large increase
of business. The receipts of the CON-
pany during January, 1885, were $2,444
and during February. 1885,
$1,915. q total of $4,359. Dur
ing January, 1886, receipts were
$3,417 and during February, 1886, S6,135,
q total of $9,552. This gives a balance
in favor of the first two months of 1886
| of SIS, 1913. This is a good showing for a
company which does an exclusive farm
business.
At last nights meeting of the city
council it was decided to reject all the
bids presented for the construction of
on arteslan we'll in the city park and to
ask for new bids. The cause of this &C.
ton was the varied and lrreconcilable
nature of the propositions made. The
specifications were not clear and no two
bids were for the same amount and kind
| of work or for the same quality of sup-
plies. 1t was therefore impossible to
decide which was the lowest. The city
advertises in this paper for new pro-
posals, giving more carefully prepared
specifications.

Since the runor regarding the re-
movaI of the Milwaukee depot to its old
site was started in Yankton the subject
has been discussed Of the company
headquarters and very lately Agent
Dean has been given a pointer from the
proper authorities which almost assure.
the contamination of such a step. 1t il
probable that in the spring the depot
will be moved from its present position
to the old ground on First street, or il
that neighborhood. If the city grants
the Northwestern right of way dowr
Locust street and if the Milwaukee
moves the depossand puts in a new
track there may be a chance in thu
future to chronicle another crossing war
