IN the Sioux City bluffs. After looking
the situation over he concludes that
there is now no reason to expect damag-
ing Missouri river foods in the spring.
The committee appointed the board of
trade nesting to canvass for members
request all signers and others interested,
to meet tomorrow, Friday, at p. NJ,
to hear their report and to take further
action toward perfecting the organiza-
ton meeting to be held at the council
room.
Argument in the injunction case of
the Milwaukee company against the
Northwestern railroad company relative
to the Yankton crossing, set for to-day,
Was further adjourned until nine O'Clock
tomorrow morning, by agreement of
the representatives of the contendlng
parties.
D.. w. Carpenter, veteran drummer in
the western wilds, one of the immortal
i've imprisoned IN Yankton by the food
OF 1881, says the present snow blockade
in Iowa is far superior to the one which
stopped all travel IN the winter of 81.
He put IN forty-sight hours in an Iowa
DRIFT last week and it his is opinion that
the snow is colderthis winter than usual.
A telegram received to-day from Mo-
brara announces the death, at that
place, of Mrs. Robert Cooley, mother OF
Mrs. s. J. Lynch, Mrs. Charles Sphinx
and Robert s. Cooley, all of this city.
Tha deceased was once q resident of
Yankton, and here and IN the commu-
nifty where she has more recently lived
she was highly esteemed as a lady of
culture and good graces. The afflicted
have the sympathy of Yankton in
their grief.
Governor Edmunds has settled with
the Northwestern right of way commit
tee for damage done to his property
west Of the round house by the invasion
of the road. The grade runs diagonally
across each of three forties owned by
him inside the city limits and he gives
the right of way for $500. This is so
reasonable that the governor will not be
suspected of a desire to speculate over
the coming of the Northwestern. The read
also runs across some land belonging
to him below the city and across this he
donates the right of way.
The revival meetings which have been
III continuance during the past four
weeks in the Methodist church in this
city, were brought to a close last week.
Notwithstanding the rough and stormy
weather we have had, these meetings
have been of very great interest.
Over fifty conversions have taken
place and thirty Of the con-
verted ones have united with the church
on probation, while others will do SO.
Quite a number have also united by let
ter. Much good has been done and
Methodism in Yankton greatly revived.
Turner hall was comfortably filled
last night to witness the presentation
of the "Fwo Orphans" Upon the merits
of the play it it is needless to comment.
Sufficient to say that the actors filed
their parts to perfection. Buchanan HIM
self. as Mother Frochard, brought down
the house with every appearance and
although the drama has been given be-
fore III Yankton that part was never SO
we'll executed. MI. Hunt, as the cheva-
lier, Mr.. T. G, Walton as Jacques, the
outlaw, Mrs. Robert Buchanan as Louise
the blind orphan, and Mr.. George Noble
as the cripple, all deserve special men
tioping. 70 night, The Shaughr@un is
on the boards, and as it is new in Yank-
ton it should receive good atten-
ton.
