A large audience gathered in the audi.
forum Of the Methodist church last
evening to listen to the remarks of the
Rev. @. E. Hageron the duty of voters.
His hearers were pleased with his ad-
dress and also with the interior appear
of the church, which has recently
been adorned with decorative paper of q
tasty style. MIR. Hager presented a fair
discussion OF the subject OF the Ameri-
can ballot and its uses.
The fever heat at which the excite
ment over to.day's election has been run
ming for the past week kept up during
the day and the various issues were the
absorbing subjects of street talk. Tickets
have been split in every ward indiscrim-
inately and altogether the election has
been badly mixed. The saloons have
been closed all day and peace and good
humor have prevailed. All candidates
were confident, and they have held each
other rather close in the race.
Mr.. j. b. Shaw. the enterprising
Third street restauranter, is making
arrangements for greately improving
his present facilities for feeding the

The dining room is to be enlarge ed and
thoroughly renovated, while the room
Immediately back will be fitted up with
all the modern co~nveniences for serving
Ice cream. Mr.. Shaw will place a fine
new upright piano among this furnish
ing OF his pariors and will keep on Land
g choice assortment of cream and ices.

running from Elk Point to Scotland, on

jured in the Elk Point yard Saturday at
about eleven O'Clock a. NJ. While max
ing q coupling just back of the engine,
his arm was caught between thu bum
pers and very badly injured, the o N
at the elbow being crushed and the

| City and taken to the Samaritan home,
| where bis wounds were dressed by Drs.

One of the Indications of Yankton's
improved business condition is the size
and quality OF the stock of new goods
Just placed in the mammoth dry goods
establishment of Cox, Odiorne & Go
| All the finer grades which in the past
have been purshased only by sample
are now kept in stock and the ladies are
given SD opportunity to make selections
not available under the old-time system
Cox, Odiorne & Co. are buying this
spring upon assurances of an immense
business and these assurances have thus
far been more than fulfilled.
We visited Deputy j. H. @. Yonng in
the United States marshal's office this
morning, finding him up to his ears in
work and as silent as a tombstone in re-
gard to news. The Office fairly dazzles
us scrlbes, who are used to dingy rooms
with its coat CT many %colors, and thu
furniture makes the disappointed
democratic office seeker tired i
is so fine. 1t is made Q
cherry, finished on plain wood. The
carpets are not yet down, but will b.
tomorrow, and then woe to the mai
who dares to enter there with the leas
speck of Dakota soil on his boots. The
United States marshal's office at YaDk
ton now lays over any in Dakota, and i
will be a pleasure for Marshal Marat:;
to occupy it in the future.
