Miss Jessie Fuller's music scholar
gave a private musical at the home o
the teacher this afternoon. The scholar
in their piano playing show the efici
ency OF the instructor and that Misl
Fuller's class 10 steadily growing larger
is another testimonial in behalf OF bel
capabilities as a tsacher.
On Monday there will come before j
B.. Teller, who has been appointed
referee, some cases Of litigation con
corning the boundaries of a whole town
ship. The disputed land lies near Les
%terville and is valuable property. Those

M. D.. Moore, the gentlemen who owns,
or did own, land On which the new town
on the Northwestern, between Yankton
and Wakonds, is to be located was in
the CITY to-day, after q surveyor, who
will lay out the incipient metropolis.
Some talk is heard about removals from
Wakonda to that place, but it is regarded
as talk and nothing more.
The county surveyor says the original
surveys of Carl O. P. Meyer in Yankton
county have got everything. into a tangle
and that much litigation must result.
Some sections contain eighty acres more
than a section and others are CORE
spondingly short. Every effort to
straighten the mix up results in deeper

Professor Couch asserts that to-mor-
row will be close and sultry and that on
Monday fierce thunder storms will oc-
cur. For the two closing days of June
he allows westerly and %northerly winds
aud fair weather. The first three days
of July he puts down as cloudy, with
local rains, followed by three days of
fair weather. For to-day he predicted
falling barometer and rising tempera.
turs, which is the condition, excepting
that the barometer is rising.
The st. Johns Catholic society Of
Tabor has presented John Hakl with a
new artificial hand, which was affixed to
his left arm to-day by DIR. scbiakin-
Ross. MI. Hakl lost his hand some
seven years ago in a threshing machine
and aa he has labo-ed zealously in the
interest of the society, that body has ex4
hiblted its gratitude by furnishing him
with a very excellent substitute for the
lost member. The hand cost about fifty
dollars.
Some discussion is now heard among
the hydraulic experts of Yankton re-
garding the practicabillty of using the
water from the public system on college
bill and other elevated portions of the
city. An investigation as to the relative
heights OF the reservoirs and college hill
reveals the fact that the reservoirs are
much the higher, but there is the ques-
ton of whether or not a we'll on college
hill would be more expensive or even
cost as much as the outlay contingent
upon conducting water from the mains
to the hill. This matter is open for
discussion.
Last night at the Dakota telegraph
college the contest for cash prizes given
by the faculty for best work among the
students came off and was witnessed
by a large number of spectators. The
contest was highly interesting and to-
day the winners smile and are happy.
Two Glasses were in the race, A and B.
In class A were q. Berg, J. Slaughter
and H. Hartert. Berg took the first
prize and Slaughter the second. These
three are about on q par regarding
scholarship. In class B, j. L.
Kelly, j. Kofranek, Charles Russell,
Ben HuntIey. r. o. Williams and Miss
Mary Lee contested. Kelly took first
prize and Kofranek second. Kelly is
credited with being o scholar of much
promise and Kofranek is the fastest
| sender in the school. Dakota's telegraph
college is prosperlng finely. The tele.
graph department will run all summer
for the accommodation of several new
students.
1t is said that the Yankton gun club
is to shoot against the Centreville gun
club on the 4th and this supposition
may make the transactions of the
CentrevIllians of interest to the Yank-
tonians. We find in the Chronicle an
account of q match between the Centre
vile and Beresford clubs, in which
the former were victorious, the score
showing thirty-six to thlrty-two, ter
