Tonight many of the articles in which
the public has chances will be disposed of
and other interesting features will be
introduced.
The case of Charles Brook, for grand
larceny, was set for this morning in the
district court, but a witness at Scotland
did not arrive and the case was laid over
until Tuesday morning. Judge Palmer
this morning excused the petit Jurors

a lull in the business before the court.
Judge Palmer leaves for home to-mor-
row morning.

Yesterday the ice along the Yankton
shore was flooded and there was an
opening made alenR-the -Yankton bank.
Ibis moist chasm was bridged this
morning by the city authorities and the
coming and gong of our Nebraska
neighbors made easy.
1t was suggested last fall that q wood
en- bridge laid on the ice from Yankton
to the Nebraska bank would prove a
CONVENIENCE to our Nebraska neighbors
and secure enough more Of their patron
age to make it a paying Investment. But
the suggestion was not carried out.

Hog receipts were again large to-day,
the pork house taking five hundred and
other buyers rustling around for their
share. Though prices have fallen off
considerably in Chicago, buyers still
hold firm to 1925 per hundred. In the
last three days the pork house has
bought some fifteen Thousand dollars
worth at these figures. To-day two car
loads of pork home product were sold
and Tuesday three car loads. The Iowa
blockade makes cars scarce and consid-
cradle delay is experienced in shipping.
Very few of the parties given to the
young folks of this city have furnished a
pleasanter evening than the gathering
at Robert Cox's residence last night.
Bob jr. was a genial host, while Mr.. and
Mrs. Cox acted as caterers of the crowd,
and the way they car cater is pleasant to
contemplate. Dancing, cards and ele-
giant refreshment were the very ample
sources of amusements, and the twenty
or more guests were heartily sorroy
