| 1t is evident that the hog supply trib
utary to Yankton by wagon routes is
nearly exhausted, the pork house hav-
ing cut up most of the wintsr crop of
neighboring farmers. Shipments of
hogs by rail to the pork house from ad-
joining counties will soon begin and
during the balance OF the slaughtering
season supplies will be drawn from this
| source. The coming of the Northwest
ern will aid materially, as it runs
through q good hog country.
Speaking upon the other side of tbs
citizens league project, q well known
Yankton philosopher remarked to-day: ut
is a nice thing, amt it, for the parents OF
Yapkton to advertise themselves as IN.
able to bring up their own boys proper
ly and to turn them over to
the restraining influence OF q
sort of q police organization. I've
raised BALI a dozen boys and
would take my chances alone on a half 9
dozen more. It's another nice thing tc
send out to the public that Yankton is
SO bad that its citizens have to organize
to protect it's boys. That sounds we'll,
don't it?" And the irrate philosopher
emphasized his peroration.
Last night brought another crush oil
people at Turner hall to witness the
performance of the popular Buchanan
company. The Filtration at Long
Branch" was very pleasantly presented
and an evening Of fun containing &
touch OF romance was given the audi
ence. The Buchanan company shows a.
its best in happy, free
and easy cast and last nights
play was of q character tc
bring out its good points. The matinee
this afternoon was well attended anC
the presentation of Kathleen Marvour
neen was most acceptably received. TX
night will be presented by the Buchan
ans "The Private Secretary" preceded
by a musical comedietta entitled "Loa1
OF a Lover"
Ztna Richey speaks proudly and con
idently of the artesian well he has jus
completed at Fort Randall. He says i
is gushing freely and that the water il
of the very best quality. The we'll is Gil
feet deep. At about the depth of thu
Yankton wells the first artesian suppl,
was tapped and it had all the peculiar
tiles of the Yankton water. 1t was Gu
off with the casing and the drill sen
down in search of a better supply. A
$40 feet the artesian basin was tappet
and the water came with q rush, flIinl
the pipe. An analysis show
that it contains only a trace of iron ant
is free from other unpalatable chemicals
The bore passes through about the sam
formations as those underlying Y.nk
ton, excepting that the water bearing
sand rock is composed of finer grit thai
ours. MIR. Richsy feels almost certain
that the same kind of water can b,
reached here at about the same dept
and that with proper casing the irol
and sulpher compound can be kept on
of the bore, giving us an unadulterate
supply from the lower basin.
