SIOUX FALLS. Dak., Dec. 21.-The
real estate BUSINESS in Sioux Falls for the
week ending Dec. ID, was by far the
largest thus far recorded in the history
of the city. The total number Of trans
fers filed for record was seventy-elght
and the considerations therefor, S25l,-
BIS. For a town of 1000, in a be-
nighted territory in winter month, and
with no boom or any excitement In the
market, this will do. 1t is believed,
however, that this is only Slight fore
taste of what is to come next spring,
and the outlook is equally good IN all
lines.
A mathematical crank figures that
Sioux Falls has saved about $4,000 in
coal and wood bills thus far this winter
not by any material reduction III
price, but by the grace of the weather
clerk" whose smiles and favorS con-
tinued so far into December.
The G.. a. i. hall, in this city, was
the scene of a bean-bake thursday
evening last. As usual with these feS-
tive affairs. it was hugely enjOved by
the old soldier boys and all who partlci-
pated. Among the attractions OF the
evening was all exhibition drill by Com
pany b, and a speech by Col. j. ID.
Drake.
If the expectations of the various
towns represented at the recent Mani
toba reception III this city materialize as
outlined by local boomers, the Mani
toba road will have plenty Of work to
do in the next two years, and the future
MAP OF SIOUX FALLS
will have the appearance OF a bicycle
wheel, with number of extra spokes
thrown in.
The finishing touches are now being
bestowed Oh the Manitoba depot. The
weather has been especially favorable
10 the belated building operations of
this company.
John Butler, a travelling man well
known in this section of country, IS soon
TO locate in this city. He is to be mar
ried Jan. TO Miss Isabella Arnold, or
Warrendale, a suburb of st. Paul, and
after their wedding trip they Will settle
down in Sioux Falls.
Local politicians here, as elsewhere
fiji South Dakota, are refreshing their
memories on the Sioux Falls constltu-
ton. and have been quite generally
airing their views upon that historic
document and suggesting various
changes, according to the personal
opinions or prejudices Of the critic. The
present outlook for admission, from
their standpoint, would seem TO be that
Dakota will 90 into the Union with
Whoop Just as soon as constitution
can be framed that will suit everybody,
and the division question is settled two
or three more times, and few other
little preliminaries attended to. Mean
time Dakota
PATRIOTS ARE CAMPING
on Harrison's doorstep in large num-
bers, advising him on territorial APP
pointments lin the interest of Dakota"
The large number OF hogs being
shipped out of Sioux Falls daily gives
Use TO considerable comment upon the
packing house that ought to be here,
but isn't. Such state of affairs should
not be allowed to continue. And the
same applies to other products which
should be worked up at home, and two
freights and profits saved.
John Jennings, who was sentenced oy
Judge Garland last week to, imprl' on
ment for life for the murder of his
father, was brought to the penitentiary

mentos of the late reception i'll this

weights, appropriately engraved, the
gift of the
CITIZENS OF PIPESTONE.

membered with a fine Ratchet pipe,
which they can pass around at their big
poW-wOWS.
Four street cars now make frequent
trips to all parts of the city. The cars
are thoroughly warmed and comforta-
bic, and one may ride over the whole
line for cents. In this respect, as IN
many others, Sioux Falls has metropol-
itan advantages which compare well
with many of the larger cities. People
now realize that Messrs. Pettigrew ~
Tate. the managers, are running the
street ear line for business, and not Tor
boom purposes solely.

tisements this city has ever received.
