ed, heartily wishing for many returns of
a similar evening.
New Years day was quietly disposed
of. Informal calls were made by q num5er
of gentlemen of The old school who are
too far advanced III life to abandon the
habits of the past. The ancient obser-
vance, however, was not generally in
dulged in.
The Yankton pork packing establish
ment is now handling about half the
hogs tributary to this market and in a
year or two it will become financially
strong enough to handle them all and
reach out to the railroad stations of this
section of Dakota. 1t is progressing
slowly, but surely.
The man who met on the street some
of the spectral M. A. S. in full rig for
their sheet and pillow case party, last
night, has been heard from at Centre
vile, through which place he passed
like q meteor and when last seen by the
frightened populace, was still going.
When he reaches st. Paul he will tell
of the graveyard called Yankton, where
spooks do not wait for the more appro-
pirate midnight hour for taking their
exercise.
Recent reports of the in
@tention Of the Union Pacific
to build northward into Dakota are ex-
citing interest among our people.
Yankton seems q likely point for the
Missouri river terminus of the pro-
jected line. We now have prospects for
a southern connection from four large
railroad corporations. 1t is certain that
the connecting link between the Da.
kota system and the Nebraska system
will be built during the present year.
We again call attention to the great
revival now in progress at the M. Il.
church in this city under the direction
of its pastor, Rev. G. E. Hager. The
first week of meetings has developed
mere rapidly in interest than any other
ever held in Yankton. Thirty souls at
least have expressed q desire to be
saved and many if these have been
clearly converted. In view of the un-
usual insterest manifest, q service will
be held in the church tonight and meet
ings will be continued through next
week. Mr.. OlcutS, the singer, and sever
al ministers from abroad will be pres
ent to assist the pastor.
Visitors to the Excelsior mill iowa

and stones, there are SIX very neat roller
stands, a large number of bright new
elevators and The new paraphernalla OF
garnet a complete change has taken
place. Everything is new, even to the
ddst on the floor. The new rollers were
given their iuitiatory run yesterday and
worked to the satisfaction of ali con

then the Yankton roller mills will begin
to send its manufactures to the outside
world.

The fremen's ball at Turher hall las
night was a success in every way. From
nine o'clock in the evening until al
early hour this morning the hundred o
more couple there assembled kept tim
TO the music of Pixies band. The cit,
X fire companies were all we'll represented
the boys being conspicuous in their uni
forms. Chief Kincel was there and tn

sisted in the festivities. A large numbe
of citizens and people out of the cit,
