From the proper authorities we learn
that the location of the next annual
epcampment of the d. N. g. is not de-
tinitely decided upon. Watertown and
Huron are both thought of, with the
chances about equal for either. Next
year it will probably be held at Yankton.

Owen Bartlett, who for a long time
past has been a resident of Yanktop,
and who has suffered with q cancer in
the mouth for two years past, is still
around, but failing rapidly. He walked
up town from his residence this morning
and IN talking regarding his sickness
calmly expressed his belief in a fatal re-
suit.
The programme arranged by the ladies
of the Methodist church for next We'd
nesday, at Grand Army hall, includes a
'state dinner" at which each state with
the possible exception of Dakota will
be represented by a table. Dakota

general supervision over the selfish sis.

The master mechanic of this division
of the Milwaukee road has perfected in
his mind plans whereby the
Yankton depot can be loaded
bodily upon fat cars and
brought into town and unloaded. The
arrangements for the move have gone
that far, but it has not yet been decided
where to put the building. The COM
pany has not been heard from on the
subject, definitely, but 1t is the belief of
local representatives that the change will
occur if the in town lots are donated in
accordance with propositions already
made.
1t was thought a few days ago that
the crossing difficulties between the
Milwaukee and the Northwestern might
be compromised, but we are told by
competent authority that all hope for
such q result has been Abandoned.
From this time on it is war. 1t is e1-
pected that some aggressive move will
take place during the absence of Judge
Trlpp. who will be away on supreme
court work about a week longer. There
are intlmations that the Milwaukee may
occupy the ground.needcd by the North
western for its side tracks and thus
shut out its rival and it Is not presumed
that the Northwestern has its eyes
closed to the possibilities of the situa-
ton. Superintendent Underwood's hur-
ried visit to Yankton yesterday had
some connection with the crossing
movement, as we'll as other movements.
A letter has been received from the
secretary Of the Sioux Falls board OF
trade in reference to the proposed st.
Cloud, Duluth & Denver railroad asking
the cooperation of Yankton in an effort
to secure the construction of the road
through the two cities. Sioux Fails has
been asked to CO, operate witt Pipestone
in the movement, the plan being to se-
cure the united action of the cities
through which this road can run
in it's southwestward progress.
The plan is a good one and should be
promptly adopted by Yankton. A Du-
luth connection direct is one of great
Importance to this section and as the
proposed line involves q river crossing
it is of added Importance to Yankton.
The st. Cloud, Duluth G. Denver is yet
all in the future as a railroad line, but
the route it proposes to follow will
sooner or later be occupied as q high
way of rail traffic, and why not through
the medium of this company?
