"A sample of broom corn from j.. 7
Wagone,'s broom capitalization, EN-
bracing sixty acres, near this city, la
been left at this Office. 1t shows q strong
growth and the brooms which Mr.. Wage
ner will manufacture from it this fall
will probably make q clean sweep.
/ Will Horap, son of John Koran, fore
man of the Milwaukee shops in thii
city, had an adventure in the Missour
river yesterday which might have
proved worse, but was bad enough. Eli
waded beyond his depth and not being
a swimmer was drawn under water
Some associates pulled him out more
scared than hurt.
A prohibition mass meeting, repres-

A Yankton man who OWNS q gun and
a pup and a prairie plantation has
posted notices all over the latter warn
ing the world not to shoot any ohickens
on those premises until after the 10Th
of August. He remarks c~onfdentially to
his trusted friends that the pot hunters
are welcome to all the chickens they can
find there after the 18th. His vigilance
is to be commended.
Yankton's young people are familiar
7zing themselves this summer with lawn
tennis, u delightful pastime and an ex-
hllerating and healthful out door game.
In this they should be encouraged. In
the hey day of youth they need all the
open air recreation available and the
young ladies who may not participate
in the sports of the ruder sex can prop
erly enjoy the exercise of the tennis
field.
We would like to extend a warning to
the drivers of vehicles relative to the
small bridge leading to the Milwaukee
depot. If they will take pains to
examine the structure they will find
the nails in several places nearly pulled
out, and the whole affair IN q decidedly
shaky condition. This matter should
receive attention, as heavily loaded
omnibuses are liable to be precipitated
into the Rhine.
In the police court to-day everything
is quiet. Mr.. Slaughter is not yet able
to appear againstFFox, and the trial oil
that case has been set for Monday
One Helen Lehman swore out a war
rant against her neighbor, Mrs. Horek
whom she charges with assault and
battery. An officer took the warrant
and went after Mrs. Horek, but
she was missing and at
noon had not been found.
jas. Koch, of LestervIlle, has been in
Yankton for a week past undergoing
treatment for his right leg, which he
scratched slightly on a splinter some
time ago. The wound was considered 9
mere scratch at first and was entirely
healed, when Mr.. Koch received a second
dig Ill the same place from a nail, after
which inflammation set In. Since ther
Mr.. K. has been going on crutches. HI
returned to Lesterville to-day.
Ole Sampson has left with usi {
boquet of sample heads from his Yank'
ton county wheat field. The heads are
from four and one.half to five
and one-half inches long ant
| perfectly filed from one end to the
other. The berry is plump and tht
whole formation complete. This wheat
Is ready to cut and will fall before the
reaper next week. No better wheat was
ever raised anywhere in the world
Thousands of fields in this section coult
offer the SO ne evidence of o first olass
class crop.
Quite a number OF farmers have visi
ted this city to-day but nearly all hav
been after harvesting machinery, ant
the other merchants have not seen mucl
of them. We met John Coulson VIII
was fairly sailing down Third street
and in answe to our question
concerning the crops he sal,
that he had @ seen whea
fields bearing such a wealth 0
bread material in southwestern Dakota
Corn, he remarked, had q fine dark
healthy look, but need rain and tina
if it did not wet in some way pretty 500,
the ears would not be SO large as usua
Late fax is the only grain that wi
suffer, is Mr.. Coulson's opinion, and h
speaks of the crops in a large section {
country. Hay will probably be the onl
scarce article 10 the market this fall, o
the grass is very dry and a rain no
would be too late to help it.
