Scotch breed. This dog Is a beautiful
specimen Of its kind, and makes it de-
cidedly UNPLEASANT for the wolves and
other game that come within the range
of his eye.
A member of the Yankton polo or
g%anization has received an invitation
from the Sioux City club for a friendly
game TO be played in the latter place IN
the near future. Our boys have not
done any work lately, but they may &C.

day the decision OF the court was with

Beginning less than fifty miles east of
US a heavy snow storm prevailed
throughout Iowa Saturday and Sunday,
while here the ground is not whitened.
We caught the edge of the wind and a
furry of snow, but hardly q touch of
the raging blizzard credited IN the east
ern papers to Dakota.
A telegram TOD. Parker Hayward, from
Warren Raymond, relative TO Captain

be inferred in Washington, where Mrs.
Raymond is buried.

From the appearances of the engine
which pulled the incoming passenger
train over the Milwaukee road last night
1t must have showed in Sioux City yes
terday. The iron horse was LITERAL
covered with snow, and the wheels of
the coaches were in the same plight. A
passenger on :he tram said that 1t took
two engines to start the train out Of the
Sioux City yards.
Notwithstanding the cold wave and
the storm, interest in the revival services
at the Methodist Episcopal church con.
tinues to increase. Last evening, after
a wonderfully impressive sermon, sew
eral souls came to the altar, and testified
that they were saved. People of Yank-
ton, this is the tune to seek the Lord.
Meetings will continue through the
week. Come out tonight.
The regular services of the annual
week of prayer will open at the Congre-
gational church this evening and will
continue all the week. They will be
followed by q period of revival meetings
to be conducted by the pastor. Nr.
Herald, the evangelical singer who assist
ed during the revival services at the
Congregational church last winter, will
be here the last of this week and will
participate in the religious proceedings
to follow the week Of prayer.
Previous mention has been made OF
the fact that the territorial fair associa-
ton will receive bids up to the 18th
inst. for the location of the territorial
r. 400
fair for 1886. The opportunity to secure
this important gathering ST outside
people is now open to Yankton as a
competitor with other towns. The ad.
vantages to come from such a gathering
need hardly be enumerated. It would
bring thousands Of strangers into Yank-
ton at the most favorable season of the
year, and those strangers would see our
city and our country. All
We need care for is
the opportunity to exhibit what we
have. The desired result will follow.
There is no more effective advertising
medium than a fair of this nature.
Hankton possesses commodious and we'll
improved fair grounds, the best, probab.
ly, in all of Dakota. 1t has an abundance
of hotel room and first class railroad
facilities. 1t is located in the center of
q region which can furnish the material
for the best exhibition in all the west.
It can produce a fair which will be a
to Dakota. A public meeting to
consider this matter is suggested by
public spirited citizens. The PROPOSE.
ton is a good one. Will some one call q
meeting? g
