M. Demende. a Broadway saloon
keeper, has purchased two lots just wesI
OF Jacob Max's store, on Lynn street
and this morning began moving off some
barns and other buildings preparatory
to putting up a large frame hotel and
stable for the accommodation of the
farmers who visit Yankton.
The pair of beavers which l. Piles
purchased last fall are still alive and in
good condition. They take kindly to
Ike Waterbury, who acts as keeper for
them. and will eat from his hand. The
way they do it is to nibble leaves off
from q ten foot branch of live cotton
wood while the keeper stands some dis
lance away and holds it..
A system of sewerage is now in greater
demand than ever before, and the sur
plus water from the big we'll could be
used to keep the sewers clean. Manu-
facturers running light machinery will
use water from the city mains for turn
ing motors as soon as sewerage is
furnished and this is only one of the
many demands this improvement.

v1ding Tor numbering the residences and
places of business in Yankton. On the
north and south streets numbers will
run from the river northward and OF
east and west streets from Douglas
avenue IN both directions. The city
engineer is laying out the scheme, which
provides a number for each residence
and business lot.
at a meeting of the Yankton base
ball club last evening Fl. W. Human

Ross Vanderhule field captain. Chas,
s. King had rendered his resignation Us
captain, which was accepted,and the new

Some worthless wanderer tried to steal
the muzzle of Piles dog Zip last even
ing and had it not been for a young lady
who was passing tho store he would have
made off with the property. Mr.. Water
bury noticed the absence OF the muzzle
and having seen a strange man petting
the dog he smelled o mice and gave
chase. The pilferer threw the muzzle
under the stairs on the east side of
Sawyer's block and took to his heels.
VIM. Powers, who has been giving his
active attention to the railroad depart
ment, says the Northwestern has agreed
to run a special train between Yankton
and Rawarden on the Sd of July and
that this Milwaukee will run a special
from Elk Point up, and possibly from
Sioux City. Mr.. Powers says there are
many Sioux City people DESTROYS of Wis
iting Yankton on that occasion, their
own celebration occurring on the 9Th.
A first class opportunity of seeing the
new we'll is now afforded Visitors to the
hill, as o 7 shaped piece of pipe has
been placed oyer the well out of which
the water shoots, with terrific force,
into a trough and thence
down the side of tho hill. The
stream will be conducted into tho
tanks as soon as the necessary piping
arrives, and as soon rs the castings are
made. The contractors machinery and
buildings about the well are being re-
moved.
Lack of capital impedes progress III
Yankton as IN every other Dakota city
and so it will be as long as u terrific
rial condition is continued. We know
of four persons anxious to erect business
buildings worth from $4,000 to $4,000
and one vino would put up q $4,000
structure if they could borrow a portion
OF the money. OF course the security
they offer is first class, but the distrust
of our territorial form of government is
the phantom in the way of their hopes.
We attempted to yesterday
the appointment of DR.. a. f. Livingston
as assistant superintendent of the insane
asylum, but the printer who makes up che
forms put tho paragraph away SO care
fully that he has not since been able to
find it. The appointment of tins popu-
lar medical man was made yesterday by
the board of trustees to fill the vacancy
occasioned by the resignation of DR..
Link. DIR. Livingston will make g COM
petent assistant, and is in every way q
worthy gentleman. He is m old Da-
kotaian, having become a citizen of
Yenkton nearly o score of years ago.
With himself and DR.. Cravens at the
head of affairs the asylum will be well
