Gently, and there is much wrath thereat in
this city:
The new artesian well at Yankton sends out
water SC impregnated with coal as to be unfit
tor use.
The water in the Yankton artesan well
is not impregnated with coal nor with any
other substance. but is clear. pure and
sparkling, and is rapidly becoming popular
as beverage. The well discharges 100, 900
gallons of water every minute, and at a
public test few days ago it was shown
that solid siX-inch stream could with per-
feet ease be thrown 400 feet perpendicu-
larly. A cordial invitation is extended to
the people of Aberdeen, Mitchell, Sioux
City and other towns to visit Yankton on
July and view this natural wonder.

reasons. First. its proximity to living
bodies of water, one beautiful lake, of
which we shall speak later, and, secondly.
the fact that some of it's first inhabitants
were from the city of Watertown, n.
Y. But, as we intended in this article
to give briefly the chief events which have
tended to the upbuilding of this ambitious
young city, we will not argue here the
source of its name. hoping to lie able at
some later date to say which CT the two
reasons is the correct one. Watertown was
plated in the fall of 1878, but from
the spring of 1879 may be said to date its
first settlement, when few citizens from
the Eastern states, seeking an abiding
place, were attracted within the limits of
the territory of Dakota. and coming West
ward to townsite called Watertown, at
that time the terminus of the Chicago &
Northwestern railway, struck their tents On
the banks of the Sioux and invested
their small means in land near the townsite

JAMESTOWN, June 1S.-The political atmos-
phere is beginning to grow turbulent in this
district and county. Party lines will be
strictly drawn both in the district and county.
The district will without doubt go Repu bill
can IN consequence of Nelson, strong Re-
publican county, being added, and Burleigh,
an equally strong Democratic county, being
detached from the district. The candidates
willing to be sacrificed are j. w. Goodrich,
Or. Warren, D. NJ. Keleher, Mike Fox, and
possibly John Alden, all staunch Democrats,
who in Office would be a credit to the party.
The county officers are all Democrats with
the exception of two, register and treasurer.
THE postoffice has finally been located in
the Gladstone block. Postmaster Klaus has
appointed Tony Klaus, Charles Rattinger and
R. R. King, first, second and third assistants.
The Office would be credit to town of
10000 population. Capt. S. X. McGinnis
has returned from his old home in Pennsyl-
vania, where he was attending the reunion
of Battery B, which fought so CALAMITY at
Gettysburg. The copious rains of last week
have improved the growth of all grains

rumored that other blocks are contemplated.

blessing to breakers and an unusually large
acreage will be broken up, if the season con-
tinues as favorable as at present. Work is
now being pushed on the Dakota Midland

Another crew, now at work on the Dakota

KEYSTONE, Oak, June 1S.-A most novel
sight was recently witnessed in this vicinity,
viz: The breaking up of fifty acres Of
prairie on the claim of the Rev. ]. W. Dickey
formerly pastor of the First Presbyterian
church of this place. The church was owing
him a balance on his salary and took this
means of liQuidating the debt. at s q. m.

teered their services gathered on the grounds
and work commenced. By 10 o'clock twenty
seven plows were turning over the sod
one hundred and ten horses being used
and by p. m. ffty-four acres had been
turned over. AT noon the ladies of the con-
gregaton served au elegant dinner on the
grounds, and upon the completion of the work
served supper. A large crowd gathered to
witness the work and the day seemed like a
holiday; and all went home feeling that they
had spent most enjoyable day, besides
wiping out an old debit. The surveyors of
the Chicago, Milwaukee s. st. Paul railroad
have been at work around here the past week
running survey for the extension of the
road north from its present terminus at Ell

that forty miles of this extension is to
be built and in operation by Oct. l. Key

any doubt, as the survey runs within three
quarters of a mile of the town site, and our
farmers are feeling happy over the prospects
