past with the Buchanan comedy COM
psny. Mr. Hunt will be remembered as
the ~lmpersoDator of the uncle in the
comedy of the Private Secretary, which
the Buchanans once presented IN this
CITY. MIR. Hunt hos advanced in the
dramatic profession since his last sp.
pearsnce in Yankton and he will cause
more smiles tonight Thar ever.
Fourteen copies OF the complied laws
OF Dakota, as compiled by the legisla-
tiveoommission, have reached Yankton.
Thus is the allotment which each county
gets, but from the appearance of the
work it is probable that the county will
need q new set in about three months.
The compiless sent the books out of the
territory to be bound, instead OF letting
some Dakota institution do that work,
and the binder has triflsd with the
COZ dt noe of the compilers. The print.
ing is excellent but the binding may be
stated as decidedly q poor job. Already
leaves are loose in several of the books
and the covers are scared and spotted
and generally poor.

ST. VALENTINES sow; MIR.

4 =
II Unusual Bnt Altogether Pleasant
Notwithstanding for Cake.
An entertainment as novel as it was
pleasant was given by the young ladies
of the Congregational church at w. B.
Valentines new and spacious residence
on Fifth street, last evening. The en-
tertainment was named q ST. Valentine
souvenir social and the modus operandi
of entertainment was something like
this: The guests arrived and were es-
corted to CLOAK rooms, and after lavlng
OF their outer garments were furnished
each with o souvenir valentine which
was usually the handiwork of some at
traot,ve young lady, Accompanying the
souvenir was q small card bearing an ex-
tract from mother goose rhymes, or some
other familiar stanzas. Upon the cards
given TO the gentlemen but q portion oil
quotation was found, and he was ex-
pected to find the young lady who pos
sessed a card bearing the other portion.
For instance, if a young man had a card
bearing: sold Mother Hubbard went to
the cupboard to get her poor dog q
bone," lie Immediately began 9 still hunt
for the lady whose card
was inscribed; "But when she got there
the cupboard was bare and SO the poor
dog had none" After each gentleman
had found the correct card he escorted
that lady to the supper Don and they
discussed coffee n cake. After refresh
meDts, another surprise vas introduced.
A large cake was placed upon o small
table in the center of the psrlor and the
couples promenaded around 1t, The
couple presenting the most graceful ap-
p%earsnce WAS to have the cake, but the
judges, Mrs. j. 81. Teller, Miss Ellen
Haskell and DR.. James Rosne, were after
that cake and after walking around once
themselves, they decided unanimously
that the prize belonged to them. At ii
O'Clock the party broke up, and went
home satisfied with themselves and the
world generally.

Afraid of a blizzard.

Mitchell Republican, 18th: There
was an nble bodied rumor ah5at this
forenoon, that another terrific blizzard
was on its way from Aberdeen, where it
had unroofed houses and raised the
dence generally. The result was that
people got excited, certain mem.
bers of the board of education ordered
the schools dismissed at noon, farmers in
town started pell NELL for home, and the
community generally braoed back for
another bad one. The morning was
warm and pleasant with a south wind,
which gradually worked around to
the northwest. The Thermometer started
out at about 40 degree above, but
fell slowly in accordance with in
dications from the st. Paul sig.
nal office at noon, which seid q cold
we've was approaching and that the sem.
peratnre would fall 90 degrees in the
the mercury Is above, there is still con.
siderable margin before the storm OF
January 18th could be duplicated.
Where the rumor came from Ia not
known as the Western Union operator
heard nothing of any such occurrences
at Aberdeen as reported, and the 81. &
D. conductor brought no such news. 1t
used to be said of Dakota:
Every town is q city.
Every stream is q river.
Every quarter section ia a bonanza
farm.
Every man is more or less OF O liar.
To this summary it might be added
Every furry of snow and wind is .
blizzard.
The day passed without any demon
stration by the elements OF o serious
natare. The wind prevailed from the
north, and out on the prsiries the fine
snow filed the cir. but that's as near q
blizzard as it came.

Sioux Falls Press: Sioux City Is as
avarlcious as ever on railroad questions.
The citizens worked every scheme that
ingenuity could invent to divert the Du-
iuth from this CITY. but failed. Now
they are trying to bust the proposed
Yankton and Northern railroad that
probably will be built from Omaha to
Yankton. The citizens are getting
themselves in bad repute by the policy
they havs taken and IN time it's effects
will be to the seaous detriment of their
merchants.
Vermillion Republican: John T..
Taylor, at one time of SO unsavory 9
reputation In this city, and afterwards
at Yankton, was early this week CON-
voted OF fraud on the interior depart
ment at Washington, by 9 United States
jury in the United States court at Chi
cage. 1t is o long lane that Deye turns.
Huron telegram: Parties here have
written Judge Campbell asking him TO
outline q plan of operation and make
suggestions for the spring campaign in
the interests of statehood. II Mr..
Campbell consents to their request he
will be ;iiely to speak very pointedly,
and make things pretty lively by the
time the constitutional convention as
sembles in July.
Sioux Falls telegram: The coming
season promises greater activity In rail-
roads construction in southern Dakota
then has yet been enjoyed and Sioux
Falls expects TO reap a lions share OF
the resulting benefits. The Duluth,
Wilmar d Sioux Fails road, which is
graded to this city, will be ironed as
early possible in the spring. and the road
viii be at onoe extended southwest. Just
what the proposed route will be every
one seems ignorant of but is understood
that the company will bridge the Mis-
souri twice. at Yankton and Wheeler.
Sioux City made frantic efforts to divert
the Duluth from Its present route in
their direction. Failing in that they set
about building q line to be called the
sioux City & Northern which was TO tap
the Duluth at q point north OF Sioux
Falls and thus capture the bulk OF the
business Of the road. Nature nipped
this scheme in the bud by presenting
engineering difficulties which cannot be
overcome. There 10 now a possibility
that the junction will be made in this
city.

How locomotives Are Named.

Locomotives" said the railroad
man, ''are oftener numbered than
named nowadays. The great trunk
lines Of the country number their
engines. but some Of the New England
lines still continue to both name and
number. Localities arc conclliated by
naming engines after them, and the
directors feel flattered Of course to sec
their names on majestic express or
monster freight engines. Then there
are individuals locally influential whom
the corporation wishes to place, and
they ore hOnered. Sometimes these
mon are 'klckers,' and tho road doesn't
like to be kicked, and names the loco :
motive 20 soften their asperities. But
as said before you've no idea OF the
number Of letters and the many forms Of
pressure exerted. Some man who owns
its name put on a locomotive as an ad-
vertisement Of that place, and as his
interest is good deal the roads inter.
est, he generally has his wish grattied.
"There is a sort Of unwritten custom
Of Localities and individuals 10 give
clocks or ornaments to the engines
named after them. Different roads
have different ideas and methods. The
Providence names its shifting engines
after characters in Dickens, suggestive
Of qualities that will be called into
play. There is the 'Pancks,' that goes
about putting, the Micawber, that
waits for something to turn up, etc.
The Eastern road once ran on Snake.
speare some years ago, and gave It's
machines such names as COriolanus,
King Lear, Othello, Macbeth, Tempest,
Hamlet. ETC., thus making It's trains
propaganda Of Shakespeare study.
