ta.s executive there were very few con
l tidences between Governor Pierce and
Governor Crennan, beyond. perhaps, the
h~ackneyed remark invented By the gov.
ernor of North Carolina in the presence
OF the governor of South Carolina, and
this We are by no means certain of. One
little conversational incident, showed
that the present governor is developing
q programme OF executive duty which
IS an innovation upon the customs of
the past. Governor Brennan remarked
to Governor Pierce that during his adj
ministration he never inspected any ter
~ritorial institutions, though he came
mighty near it upon one memorable &C.
casien. Governor Pi=rce replied that
the auspices were now somewhat differ
ent, whsreupon Governor CrenDan VEN
tured to say, well l should remark"
Little touches of nature like this make

daily freight in and out of Yankton,
which may finally result in tie loss to
the travelling public of this section of
one OF the most gentlemanly conductors
who ever made Yankton
headquarters. H. t. Conley is
the gentleman referred to, and he has
been ordered to take charge of the daily
freight train between Sioux City and
Egan, over which run comes the greater
part OF the freight from the east to
Sioux City. Mr.. Conley's efficiency as a
conductor has led to his being placed in
that position. His run into Yankton
on the freight and from Yankton to
Scotland and return is now held down
by S. Clevinger, a gentle man who form
erly resided in Yankton.
VIM. Roantree, a former resident of
Yankton, now makes his home at Brod-
head, Wisconsin, where the Edison in
candescent electric light was introduced
g few wesks ago. AS Yankton 10 to use
this light, Mr.. Roantree's testimony
thereon is OF interest. He says 1t excels
all artificial lightlng appliances in exis-
tenoe and that when once introduced
every body will use it if they can get it.
In BrodheRd, which is q small place,
they put in only q two hundred light
dynamo and it does not begin to supply
the demand created by the FIRST few
weeks experience with the light. Mr.
Roantree punches his recommendations
into the general statement that the Edi-
son incandescent is certsin to supersede
all other artificial lights and that
wherever introduced it speedily comes
into general use. The Yankton COM
pany has uoyed slowly, that it might
fix It's choice Upon the most complete
snG effective lighting apparatus, and out
of the many in uae it has undoubtedly
selected the very best,
A London cablegram was received
yesterday at the insane asylum, by
Superintendent Cravens, asking him if
a Mrs. Findley was an inmate Of the
asylum. Ono of the patients at that
Institution is a who was found
out on the prairie in Hand county some
time ago in a seriously demented CON
dition. She refuses to give her nams'
of auy account of herself and will not
talk or listen to any one. She keeps
her fingers in her ears when anybody is
about and her mouth tightly closed.
Upon her clothing is the name" lindley"
and tile word ward" and a number.
From this it is supposed that she is a
fugitive from some similar institution.
She is hard to keep and has made sew
ersl eacapes from the Yankton asylum.
Nothing is known regarding the name
or the past Of this unfortunate woman,
but it is snrmised that she is the Mrs.
Findley inquired about from London. If
she has strayed tins fa. away her his.
tory must be o strange one.
One of the institutions of Sioux Falls
which has given to that city q consider
able portion of its outside fame is the
Cataract house, conducted by Corson
brothers. The Cataract began its ex-
~istence with the beginning of Sioux
Falls and in its development from an
u~npretentious wooden tavern to a brick
stone aud iron hosiery with a command
ing towsr over it's roof and ell tbs mod
ern improvements underneath it has
kept pace with the advancement of the
city Ii represents. Harry Corson and
Henry Uorson are ancient landmarks
to the travelling public we'll known.
Their present Cataract house is q COM
modious structure. containing all the
modern a~ppurtensnces to first class en-
t~ertainment and a daily bill of fare
which draws the knights of tho road
from many miles away. These are
some of the remarks which emanated
from squad of travellers tarrying in
Yankton and they will be cheerfully en-
dorsed by Yanktonians who have cx-
