The accident which caused the return
of the Sioux City train from Yankton
yesterday occurred in the bluffs just this
side of Sioux City. The passenger train
for Sioux Falls out of Sioux City was
preceded by sn engine with a snow
pillow attachment. The train followed
1T in about an hours The snow pillow ran
as far as the bluffs where it encountered
a heavy snow bank which it could not
remove and in which it stuck fast. The
passenger train came along and the win

over. the engineer did not see the delay
Pio" SuSlhe, uOE was auy Que
on the train aware of it's proximity Until
the passenger train had bumped into the
tank OF b snow pillow engine. The
collision resulted in some damage to the
tank that was struck but In no injury 20
the other train or to any of the passen-
gers. The disabled iron horse reached
the shops at Yankton just before noon
to-day.
1t has never before occurred to us
that Yankton ought to aspire to the
possession of an ice palace, but as time
goes on we learn more and more
about the dormant of
the great west. An icp palace is
with US undoubtedly a dormant resource
1t has heretofore been supposed that it
belonged exclusively to the north pole,
Winnipeg and st. Paul, but after much
research. We have discovered that the
Ingredients are also here, with at pres
ent possibly one exception. All the1
required are cold weather and
water. We have cold weather in abund.
ance, but thus far our emissaries have
been unable to find any water in a liquid
form. There are chunks Of it living
around all over the prairie. One re
sent out to interview an artesian
we'll, testIfies that there is nothing left
of it but a e%talagmite twenty feet high
sticking out of a hole in the ground. It
is possible that ice palaces do not thrive
such an intense period.

HE TELEPHONE BUSINESS.

Something About one of Yankton's
ject.
The presence of o cold spell and the
difficulties of pedestrian feats suggest to
the mind the great convenience and bene
fit that the telephone exchange is to Yank-
ton, Many trips out in the cold are
saved by the "phones." This beng a
day when news is scarce and practically
inaccessible through the ordinary pro-
cess, the reporter has been buzzing the
hello girl at the central Office, over the
wire, for something to print. The re-
suit is a brief Biographical sketch of the
telephone business in Yankton. The
first telephone instruments used were
put up under the charter of the
Southeastern Dakota telephone and tele-
graph company, made up and operated
by Yankton men. This company began
business sometime during 1882, and
after a year or more of successful bust
ness, the property was sold to the Erie
telephone company, and that orRaniza-
ton has held a monopoly of the business
ever since. The present manager, W. T.
Burns, began his duties as operator un-
der the first owners, three years ago last
October, and it is to his knowledge OF
the business and careful attention there
to that the Yankton telephone exchange
has always been spoken of by the owners
as n of the best according to its size
in Dakota. (This remark is thrown in
in by the reporter). The
growth of business has not
been rapid, but it has been
steady. To-day eighty instruments
are in use IN Yankton and the outlook
for business is better than ever. Calls
sent to the Office are always quickly and
intelligently responded too. Either
Manager Burns (more original remarks
by the reporter) himself or his attentive
operator, Miss McMeap, are on hand, and
at any hour of the day or night, a mes.
sage may be sent to any part of the city.
Our telephone exchange is something
to mention with pride, and our citizens
should appreciate it as it deserves.

CHOICE ENTERTAINMENT.

a somewhat Chilly Audience Delight
ed with the Music Of the Redpatb
Concert Company-Another Appear,
ance This Evening.
Last nights copgealing frigidity rend
cred it an occasion most i%nauspicious
for the announced musical gathering al
Turner hall, and though the members OF
the Redpath concert company appeared
on the scene with purple noses and
fingers half rigid, they went through the
programme with artistic effect and al,
most doubled it with responses to el
cores. The audience was much larger
than could have reasonably been expect
ed on such a polaric evening and though
the frost was nibbling at their toes and
searching for other vulnerable parts of
their anatomy, those present seemed to
warm with enthusiasm more than they
did from the two stoves standing guard
IN opposite corners of the room. That
they appreciated the Redpaths was
eyinced by their persistent calls for q
second appearance after almost every
number. Ouly genuine merit could
evoke such interest in the face of the at
tendant frigid circumstances.
1t requires more accurate powers of
criticism than we possess to say which

heroic tortitude of the artists on the
stage. MIR. Glider is a pianist of rare at
tainments even with frozen fingers, and
the sweet satisfaction induced by Miss
Chamberlaln's wblstling solos was al
loyed only with the fear that she might
not again get her face unpuckered. This
swhistling specially is something in
which there are few masters and Miss
Chamberlain Is one of the few who has
attained PERFECTION. She must have
borrowed her notes from the birds and
improved on their quality. Miss War

llghtful in voice and manner and Miss

ing. Mr.. Reynolds, vocalist with o strong
dash OF humor, was pleasing in all his
phases and in the recitation department
entertained and convulsed his audience.
The Redpath company in it's entire
make up commends itself to a discerning
public, 1t gives a most satisfactory en-
tertainment.
Another concert Will be given this
evening by this company and as the
weather has moderated and the hall
fires have been booming all day, every
thing will be comfortable. Those who
go to Turner hall tonight will have oc-
casion to congratulate themselves that
they have heard the Redpaths.

A Gard of Thanks,

The Turnverein at their last meeting
unanimously voted a resolution of
thanks to all who so kindly and diligent-

Christmas tree and fixing up the hall.
The thanks of the society is also heartily

contributions helped to make the occa-
sion one of pleasure for the little ones
and one Of financial success for the 30.
