In one Of the primary school rooms of
this city, on Friday afternoon of last
week, q small girl read on essay on wear
ing tight shoes. In the course of the
eft Fusion she told ell about the results
OF this practice and give much excellent
advice to her hearers. But finally the
little anthoress became somewhat per-
sonal. Ia closing she said: my
mother has two buttons and one corn on
one OF her feet, because she wore tight
shoes when she was young ?" The proud
mother was there N the look she gave
that urchip, after that divllgence of
family secrets, would have CONCEALED
a volcano.
q. j. Walsh, of Elk Point, was in
Yankton on Saturday employing men
and teams to go at once to Creighton.
Nebraska, where Mr.. Walsh has about
70 1000 yards of earth to move for the
Fremont, Eikhorn & Missouri Valley
railroad company. The work IS on an
extension of about eleven miles from
Creighton toward N,obrara. He goes at
the job with an expectation of being
called off at The end of not more than
six weeks, when he has an idea that he
will have something to do at or near
Yankton. Mr.. Walsh is not given to
talking much, bat he probably has in
formation + hlch even Yankton people
could not obtain.
Bishop Marty has been requested by
prominent Dakotsians to lend his in.
auenoe to the commission which under.
takes the task of securing the signatures
OF the Dakota Indians to the bill open
ing the Sioux reservation to settlement,
and he has expressed his willingness tc
comply with the request. This arrange
ment with the bishop will greatly facili-
tate matters, as his assurance that the
opening of the reservation will be ben
| eficihl will have no small amount ol
weight with the Sioux. Bishop Marty
thinks that the inadx of white settlers
would give pressure to the fast rising
influences of civilization among the In,
dams and the intelligence OF the passag,
of the bill by the mate is very crafty
ing to him.
J N. I. Smith, OF Huron, one of Daka'
sa's railway commissioners, has been il
Yankton to-day, having arrived from
Mitchell at an early hour this morning
His mission here has no official import
ance attached to it, he being out on
SOFT of q round up OF cars for the uses Of
the hay gatherers along the two railroad
routes in south Dakota. These hay
makers, especially those along the North
western lines, have cut and baled ~
unusually large amount of hay and {
fear that extensive SNOW blockades IN
Iowa might keep them from getting
their produce to market while prices are
high led them to appeal to the railway
commission for more cars. Mr.. Smitt
hes been very successful on his mission
Yesterday was Palm Sunday, the frs
day in the last week of the season O
Lent. Yankton christians have rigldlJ
observed that season and now that thu
end is not far off it is not unnatural OF
inconsistent with christian pretence
that humanity ieels elated owe the ap'
proaeh OF the annual church festival
The cause for q large attendance on di
vine worship yesterday may be ascribe'
TO this feeling among church members
for Notwithstanding the snow and chill,
north wind there were many people out
Yesterday usbered in holy week and i
the Catholic and Episcopal churche
services appropriate to the season will b
held. In Christ Church daily prayer
will be held OF 4 o'clock and on Frlda
next morning prayer at III O'Clock ant
evening prayer at $50 will occur In th
church. The Easter services will b
held at the usual hours.
