The certificate of corporate ~existenc,
of the Yankton electric lighting com
pany reached Yankton by mail yester
day, but is looked upon as dead docu

For q large number of Yankton people
allow us to express regrets over Miss
Hattie Tanners departure from our city
before she had given the piano recita
which has been previously mentioned in
these columns. Miss Tanner is q pianist
of pronounced ability and Yankton's
music loving populaoe were anxious to
hear her play. We hope that she may
come again.
Several republicans of excellent stand
ing in Yankton waited upon the Press
and Dakotaian to-day with a request
that it Suggest Hon. George I'll. Hand
for member of the legislative council
from this district. They have not con-
ferred with Mr.. Hand and have no
knowledge of his feelings in connection.
with this proposition. They believe
him to BIZ honest and able and are ser
tain that he would represent the district
faithfully. Because he would make a

relative to the conduct Of the parties
concerned is evidently given in malice,
as it is o culpable Misrepresentation.
The business of the Yankton pressed
brick company 10 gradually assuming
larger proportions and each day orders
for brick are received from new sections.
The company will furnish an Armour
firm with brick for building IN that new
town, and will probably supply the
material for several Aberdeen structures.
At the Huron fair an exhibit of the
Yankton pressed brick was made and
some of the citizens of Huron, who
had sent east for brick for
residences and store fronts re-
marked that the Yankton product was
just as good If not better, than eastern
products. It may be seen in the
Hawley-Cobby block and in Jos.

up as well as the st. Louis pressed
brick. some of which is in use in Yank-
ton. The home company has labored
under difficulties for some time past but
nov prosperity marks the business.
