sett, formerly rector of Christ church
administered the right of baptism to the
infant children of Mr.. and Mrs. Q. p.

By reference to an item in another
column it will be seen that Chas. Herald,
the we'll known Chicago evangelist, will
visit Yankton again very soon. He is
down for an address to the temperance
mass meeting to be held in the Congre-
gational church on Sunday evening.
The Mems Christian prohibition union
will hold a temperance mass meeting in
the Congregational church on Sunday
evening next. Rev. Messrs. Clapp,
Hager and Herald, of Chicago, will ad-
dress the meeting. The saloon keepers
are especially invited by the union to
attend.
Last night a youth from somewhere
else caused quite q laugh among the
crowd which always assemblies in front
of the p~ostofice in the evening by ap-
pearlng in full evening dress excepting
the hat. He wandered up and down
the street for more than an hour and
seemed to be enjoying his bareheaded
condition.
The we'll known "Chetty," Yankton's
pet %"coon," appeared on Third street
this morning in base ball clothes, q la
the Yankton club. His pantaloons were
inside the long stockings and in the con-
tinuance of the said p%antaloons there
was room to spare. Chefs debut in field
costume brought bowls of laughter from
those who saw him, which he did not
fully appreciate.
The subscription committee of the
Yankton driving park association, which
association is at work on a county fair,
was out rustling this morning and as is
always the case when money is wanted
in Yankton they met with fair success.
The premium list for the fair has been
prepared and will in due time be pre-
sented to the public. The list is very
complete, and if each department is
represented as the programme dictates
the fair will be a grand success.
There was rain all around US last
night but our harvest fields escaped the
threatened inundation and the saving
labor OF the husbandman IS to-day unin-
%terrupted. Over in Nebraska the storm
cloud tarried several hours, while to the
north of US and to the west of us cleo
trical discharges vollled and Numbered.
Later-A drenching, dust destroying,
nature reviving rain came upon us this
afternoon and licked up o six weeks &c.
cumulation of dust and misery. The
lawns are smiling through their faded
garments, the trees are lifting their re-
%]uvenated leaves and garden stuff looks
up en~couraglngly at the passer-by.
Toiling grapgers in the harvest fields are
having a brief rest while the wheat
bundles dry out and everybody seems as
happy as though it hadn't rained.
In addition to his general invitation
soliciting the patronage of the public
and now in course of publication in the
local papers, over two hundred specia

other day. II amt governor yet" wal
the careless response. "Well, I'd rathe:

mood, which was broken by q hasty ex

strides. He encountered MI

what might have been q chasm of pei
!. petual estrangement.
