THE WOOD RIVER POSTOFFICES.
They Are All Well Conducted, and
Give Rise To No Complaints


Postoffice Inspector 7. r.. Banner
man came in this morning, and went
out on this afternoons train. A
TIMES reporter met him at the post
Office. Mr.. Bannerman said that the
HALEY postoffice was a most excellent
one, and that the accommodations
could not be excelled even in a large
city. This was all the more creditable
when the smallness of the income was
taken into. consideration.
Wood River is just now blessed
with good postmasters, Mr.. Banner
man said, as not a single complaint
had been made for long time; and
he had no doubt that, now the service
was so we'll organized, it would con-
tinue satisfactory, as if changes should
be made the new incumbents would
have the precedents set by their pre-
decessors to 60 by.
Mr.. Zimmerman has been an ill.,
spector Is years, and has been re-
appointed yearly ever since he en-
tered the service. His latest reap
pointment took effect the first of Jan
uary, 1886.

A Capital Scheme.

Yankton, OAK, Sept. l0.-There is a
scheme on foot among the politicians of
South Dakota and the Black Hills for
the removal Of the capital from Bis
marck to Yankton, during the first days
of the session ofthc legislature. United
action can be had on IS removal to
Yankton, as this would only be a tenn
porary selection, and it is quite proba.
bic that ere the close of the session a
permanent site may be selected. Central
Dakota possesses several very desirable
points for the territorial capital, and is
the earnest wish of the people of Yank-
ton that II of these towns will be
made the permanent seat Of government
during the coming winter.

Clifford Is Way Ahead.

Canton, Sept. 1.-THE political re-
sumo in Canton the past week is simply
a repetition Of the week before when
Delegate Clifford took a forge ahead and
reached fifty-fonr votes, sweeping the
board for that week. Last week the
Grand Forks convention elected twenty
one delegates in opposition to Walsh,
and it is probable the whole convention
will 60 to Clifford. Brookings county
sends nine uninstructed delegates and
Sully I'M to the front with four votes
instructed for Clifford. He now has
eighty-four votes ont Of ninety-six. To
day was a lively one in Dakota politics.
Stutsman, McCook, Benson, Harrison
and Hand counties will endorse Clifford,
him twenty-nine more votes,
while Barnes and Kidder counties will
probably eject delegates favorable to a
Northern man. 1t is now pretty certain
that Clifford has ll3 votes out of 1875.
besides the 8 votes Of Aurora county
contested. There will be seventy coun-
tv conventions held next week. From
present indications there will be no OPP
position to the denomination of Delegate
Clifford by acclamation.

Hill at Huron.

Congressman Hill addressed the peo.

ut Huron on the 9th inst. Among other
things he said

elections Indiana and Kentucky help
Ohio out. / do not think this is the
case in Dakota, but on the contrary be-
lieve that with your yet sparsely settled
country, the vote does not indicate your
full population. Mr.. jefferson, in
speaking of the Louisiana territory, said
that the south half was populated by
frogs and alligators, and the north half
was 9 vast barren plain across which a
crow could not ny without carrying his

Louisiana than is now received from
