A COMING IMPROVEMENT.

Jencts,N Sen to Buila a large and
Complete Hotel In the Corner of
Fourth and Walnut Streets-WOrk
to Begin Immediately.
Some years ago when 81. T. Jencks
s. Son bought the Raymond house prop
erty, in the corner OF Fourth and Wal
nut streets, it was with the intention of
erecting thereon, when the time arrived,
a large hotel containing all the modern
improvements and so located as to be
midway between the two business ends
of the city. These lots have long been
looked upon as tho most desirable hotel
site in tho city and since they have
fallen into the possession of the
Jencks firm they have been
rendered still more desirable by the cen
struction thereon of an artesian we'll,
which has besn steadily flowing for a
couple OF years.
Messrs. Jenoks & Son have conclud-
ed that the business of Yankton will
now warrant the contamination of their
cherished design and they will proceed
at once TO erect their contemplated no.
tel. The plans have been prepared by
e. j. Fancher. They show q brick
| building three stories high with a 'front.'
age Of eighty fset on Walnut street and
| eighty feet on Fourth street. The pres
ent Raymond house structure is to be
retained IN the rear of the new hotel
building, where it will be veneered and
fitted up as a kltcheniand accommoda-
tions for the employs s of the house. The
Walnut street front is to be finished
with handsome plate glass, with an Of
fee on the ground floor and a billiard
room adjoining. Tho interior of the
hotel will be given all
the modern Improvements water,
throughout the building, sewerage, cleo
trio bells, electric lights, etc, and will bs
furnished to correspond with it's finish.
When finished .Messrs .Jencks & Son,
who were so long the successful
managers of the Jenoks (Morrison)
hotel, will become the landlords OF the
new establishment, which will take the
name of Jenoks hotel. James McHaffee,
an old Missouri river steward, has
already been engaged to take charge OF
the culinary department. The Jencks
firm have purchased the brick for this
improvement and will begin work with.
ont any unnecessary delay.
This enterprise will give Fourth street
e boom as a business street and will
cause the business interests of our city
to expand in that direction,

COLES COM sINATIoN.

A Monster Tent Show which Should
be Secured Ter Yankton.
w. w. Coles monster combination,
including all the menagerie and ring
specialties of a tent exhibition, has
started out on its annual tour and is
moving Dakotaward. AS a general de-
sire has been expressed to secure the
presence of this combination in Yank-
ton, We print the following from the
st. Louis Post Dispatch. Of the 9th inst,
to give our readers an idea of what it is:
The performance last night was, taken
altogether, the best first night
performance which has been given here.
There wal scarcely,a hitch, and ell the
important acts went smoothly and with
fine effect. MIR. Cole has kept every
promise he made. and in the two hours
snd a half occupied by the show the
finest aggregation of attractions that
has been seen here was given.
Instead of doing with as little
as possible Mr. Cole gives more than
any one could possibly expect for the
price of admission. In the big tent one
good thing after another Is done and
there is not on the entire programme an
act or a feature which may be called
weak or poor. All are excellent, and
some are wonderfully fine, exceeding all
previous efforts. There are two large
rings IN which acts are given simulta-
neously, and q center stage. The
spectacular pageant at the opening
exhibits fine horses, superb male and
female equestrians, rich costumes and
oapsrlsons, max: ng D gorgeous sight.
Following the pageant there are SPLEEN
did exhibitions of trained horses and of
educated stations by T. b. Mcintyre
and Earnest Cooke. The bAttoute
lsaplng displayed some wonderful work,
particularly by John Worland, who
accomplished a double somersault over
the backs of all the elephants. Frederick
Watson's leaping dogs was an attractive
feature, the most wonderful part oil
which was the dog Hero" that turned
hip-isps back and forward like a trained
acrobat. -
George Conklin's trained elephants,
Mile. Pauline on the high wire and
Master Welker's 'human hy', act was
good. Worland land Ladesna gave a
fine balancing act. The bareback riding
by Dutton, Leon and Odell was attract
i've. The Livingstons on the bicycle and
on horizontal bars, Miss Carlotta Wilson
the Silbonn in the Roman stataary. WWor-
land and Ladesma on the flying trapsze
were excellent acts and gained enthusi-
applause. One of the greatest
trapeze acts ever gwen, however wss
that of the four Silbons, Walter taking
the flying leap with q double turn from
trapeze into his brothers arms, a dis |
of City feet, and George leapine |
the tent top to his brothers hands
on the trapeze. These daring leaps were
with shouts of applause. For |
cloee there was the jockey race, won
handsome style by Miss Monroe; this
elephant, camel and wheel barrow ~races;
Tie chariot race, won by Miss Frances
some phenomenal shooting of
glass balls by DIR. Carver, riding BY
Mexican yaqueros and cowboys, and tie
attack on the stage coach by Indians
who arc repulsed by cowboys; all fsa-
iures which were enjoyed by the audi
snce. TIE show has line prospects, for
big week.
