Monday Afternoon to witness a New
BEGINNING ON the College Grounds
The Public Invited.
To the Press and DakOtaian: One
has fifty compared the journey OF life to
a passing landscape,
Dark rocks and yellow sand,
A moaning ea-more sea, more land, rivers
wide and deep
n then oh! rock and mountains and vale,
Rivers and fields and men:
Over and over q weary tale
And round to your hoMe again"
Saying in other words what has been 80
often SO truly said, "history repeats it,
SELF"
In the old world the intervals of time
between the repeated events are much
longer than In the new world. Es-
pecially is this the fact in Dakota. The
unbroken prairie sod, the pioneer settle-
ment, the railroad, the city, are written
on the same page with only an imagin-
cry interval between. Time and space
seem lost as factor in the rapid progress
of events. It WAS only Fix years last
month. April 26th. since. on a rainy day,
DR.. Ward, the president OF Yankton
college, and DR.. J. V. Means, a secretary
OF the American board of missions, and
o. O, Burr, another officer Of that COR
poration. went up on college hill to
stake out the site OF the prospective COL
lege. Not quite two months later, June
18th, the corner stone was laid with APP
propriate ceremonies and great %reioic-
ing. O tober I'd, 1884, the building was
formally dedicated to science and art in
the presence of q large company OF our
OWE citizens and many others from
abroad and the building began to be
used for the purp cse for which it was
built.
! When Yankton college opened In q
small, one story building at the corner
OF Fifth and Walnut, on the lot owned
then and now by Judge Roberts, one OF
Yankton's real estate men, there were
but five pupils and two teachers. besides
the president. Now there will be on the
catalogue Of the current year, when
published, ninety-fivs students in all
departments and eight professors, be-
sides the president. Z
The present building is found wholly
inadequate for the purposes OF the work
of the college, 80 with the bountiful
help furnished by the ladies' bazaar
trusting to a generous public who are tc
reap the advantages of the increased
accommodations for the remaining
amount of means to finish the building,
Thus the trusteep haYe resolved to
begin the work at once and the first
stroke in that direction will come of
next Monday afternoon at 4:a0 o'clock
1t has been assigned to that hour tina
the pupils and teachers In our public
schools may have an opportunity &c
witness the breaking of the ground fol
the proposed building and We hope and
believe that less time will intervene be-
tween the ceremony ON Monday AFTER
noon and the laying OF the corner stone
and the dedication of the building nov
to be erected than was true OF the frs,
edifice. The service will be short, ap-
propriate and suggestive. All are cor
daily invited to be present to witness the

gine and were overtaken by 1t on the
bridge, killed and the engine and tender
ditched. The bridge and trestle is 100
feet long and the approaches FROM the
last is q high embankment for about ~
feet. The bridge is about 10 feet high
above water, altogether making it an
ugly place for an accident. IL is an
open bridge, OF course when the horses
got into it they fell between the ties
their bodies resting on them, aud in this
position was struck by the engine pilot.
One WAS disembowled. the entrslls fall
ing through the bridge into the water
below. and the other was rolled along
under the engine, finally lodging
under the tender about 100 feet
west OF the bridge. The engine
was thrown from the track to the north
and tipped over On its right side, having
plowed up the ground for it's whole
length, which indicates that 1t was nm

THE accident happened at the same
place, that killed Eve horses ten years
ago. It was a lucky accident in that the
engine was not thrown from the bridge
and it was q miracle that il was not, as
1t would have dragged all the cars with
it and the loss of life would have been
great, The strangest part OF this horse
Killing business is that [ was on the

that killed the five horses and ditched

Tho Confsderacy's Half Dollars.

Over on Eighth avenue the other night
the Observer stood In a crowd OF green
looking people who were listening to a
lightning Tipped auctioneer dilating on
the value of some curious coins he offered
for sale. One of those he held up to the
admiration Of the assembled numismat-
lists was said to be silver half dollar
coined by the Southern Confederacy.
One of the learned looking old boys in
the crowd disputed its authenticity, and
q controversy arose which soon drowned
the voice of the auctioneer and turned
the place into a verirable debating club.
Some of the facts brought out in the dis.
cussion are well worth preserving.
1t has been generally understood that
the Confederate treasury never coined
any silver money, but the truth is that
there were four silver half dollars coined
in the month Of April, 1861, as sample
pieces, but the difficulty of obtaining
bullion for the mint was very promptly
realized, and on April 30, 1861, the at
tempt to coin silver money was given up
and the mint was closed. Thus the only
coin ever made by the Confederacy We're
these four half dollars, and the connois-
seurs in such things have been hunting
for the pieces ever since. Two Of them
are known to be in New Orleans in posses
sion of Professor Biddle, of the Louisiana
university, bu5 the Others have never
been traced. The one offered by the
Eighth avenue auctioneer was copy of
one of the pieces. Had it been one of
the originals it would have been worth II
couple of thousand dollars. New Yori;

The story Of the contest for the crown, In
which the wren outwitted the eagle, is tradi-
tional in Germany, France, Ireland and other
countries 1t seems that the birds all met to-
gether one day, and settled among themselves
that whichever of them could fly the highest
was to be king of them all. As they were
starting, the wren. unknown to the eagle,
perched himself ON his tail. Away few the
Birds and the eagle scared far above the

tory. mot so fast, i" cried the wren, getting of
the tail and springing above the eagle; ''you
have lost your chance, and am king of
birds" The eagle angry at the trick played
upon him, gave the wren as he came down a
smart stroke with his wing, from which time
the wren has never been able to fly higher
than a hawthorn bush. The story is told
with a different conclusion in Germany.
According to the German version the tricky
wren was imprisoned in a mouse hole, and
the owl was set to watch before it, whilst the
other birds were celebrating upon the pun
ishment to be inflicted upon the offender.
The owl fell asleep and the prisoner escaped.
The owl was SO ashamed that he has never
ventured to show himself by daylight

It is''a sad commentary on the gratitude
of people to know that the grave Of
Francis Marion, in Georgetown county,
is in dilapidated and tumble down con-
dition. A broken marble slab is all that
remains to tell where repose the ashes
of this hero of other days, the Swamp
Fox" of the revolution. Others no more
renowned have monuments to tell Of
their deeds. but none for him. Yet, when
all was gloomy and the people in despair,
it was very largely through his skill,
courage and energy that the death blow
was struck to the Tories and British in the
low country, and thus made possible the
