The city council will meet again this
evening to consider further the request
of the Yankton electric light company
for a franchise. This matter has been a
long time pending, There is hardly
another city In the world that would
not Jump at the opportunity to secure
the electric light and it is past compre.
hension that our aldermen should even
hesitate in the matter. The Yankton
company is composed OF Yankton men
and Yankton capital goes into the enter.
prise. The best system of lighting the
world affords has been arranged for By
the company and q contract for the
machinery signed, contingent upon the
franchise, which it was supposed would
be granted without any hesitation, as il
is in other cities. One of the directors
said to-day that if the council did no
grant a reasonable franchise to-nigh'
the PROJECT would be abandoned by til,
company and Yankton would have M

why Squirrels Cough.

Another illustration in Indian legends
of the magical production of food is the
delightful explanation of the reason why
squirrels cough. Manabozho came ono
day to the lodge of the red-headed wood
pecker, and, being invited in, sat down.
Now there was nothing for the guests TO
eat so the bird flew on the lodge pole
(Which was the pole of a tafoarack
tree), and after few pecks with his
beak. found crevice, out of which he
pulled something, and 10! it waS fine
raccoon. This feat he performed half a
dozen times in succession, and then the
squaws came in and prepared the feast.
Next day the red-headed woodpecker
returned the visit, and ManabozhO, who
was not going to be beaten by bird,
had taken care to have a new lodge
built round a tamarack tree; SOL apollo
giving, Just as the woodpecker had done,
for having nothing in the larder, he
hoped up toward the pole. and cling
ing to it, as he had seen the bird do,
began rapping his nose against the
wood. Unable to find any raccoons, he
got so angry that he knocked his head
too hard against the pole, and fell down
on the floor stunned And the wood
pecker went off in a huff A few days
later Manabozho was standing at his
door, wondering how he could get even
with his neighbour, especially as it was
the depth of winter and there was moth
ing but roots to eat, when he saw two
men carrying bear. He got into con-
versation with them, and, speaking of
his own magical powers, was asked to
give an exhibition of them. This he did
at once by turning one of the two men
into stone. "And now, turn him back
into a man." said the other. ''Ohr'
said Manabozho, Il can not do that. !
only know the first half of the trick. ="
So, the second hunter, unable to drag
the bear all by himself, left it at Mana
bozho's door; whereupon that rascal at
once invited all his friends to the great
feast, and was prodigiously important
and fussy at being able to ask them to
come and eat good bears meat at a
! time when everyone was living on
roots. But alas! as each one filled his
mouth, the bears meat turned into
ashes, and, one after the other, the
guests began coughing as if they were
going to choke. The more they ate the
worse the coughing grew, and at last
the host, in his Indignation, turned
them into squirrels, and that is why
squirrels cough so much.-SGn Fran

outcasts ora Big City.

The wharf-rats are not as numerous
as they were in former years." said an
old captain the other day. There was
time when the rascalS, little and big,
were so thick that you could scare up q
dozen of them at a minutes notice
right here in this neighborhood. But
now you have to look around a bit for
them, especially in the daytime"
By the term wharf-rats, the captain
meant class of homeless, graceless
boys and young men who spend their
time along the river-front, and who
manage to pick up a precarious living
by thieving, begging and doing odd
jobs of work that may fall in their way.
''How do you account for the dimin-
ished numbers, captain?" asked the re-
porter.
''Well, the river and harbor police
and the steamboat squad from police
headquarters have driven the larger
number of the rascals away from their
old haunts, and to help the matter along
many of the sailors and boatmen COM
bined to make it hot for the poor rats.
1t was good thing for the rascals, for
many of their number have been COM
PEELED TO take the alternative of going
to work for a living or being sent to
Blackwell's island as Migrants"
Where do they sleepe"
''Oh, wherever they can get chance.
Five or six years ago it was found nee
cessary to make some repairs to the pier
ut which this sloop is now moored. and
the workmen discovered q wharf-rats'
nest right under the pier The poor fell
lows had crawled in between the piles
and with odd pieces of boards and
planks had fixed up place in which to
sleep. The whole space occupied by
them did not exceed fifteen feet square. ="
The wharf-rats on the west side are a
distinct class from those on the east side,
and the two crowds viii have no friend
ly intercourse with each other. If a
member happens to go over on the
wrong side ne is certain to get good
whipping at the hands of his enemies.
The east siders are not as numerous as
the West-siders.-Nes0- York Neil and
