-Four hundred head of cattle from the
Dslany herd, which passed through
Yankton Sunday, were shipped to Obi
| oa9o to-day from Gsyville and the bal
ance Will be wlntered at Elk Point. The
four hundred were driven past this
station to Gayyille for shipment, because
there is good pasturage around that
station and it was deemed advisable to
fill the cattle with grass before starting
them on their long journey. For depre-
dations committed by the Delany herd

paid $25. through the arbitration of
Constable Bauman.
Abraham Boynton, of the railroad
commission and of the democratic party,
was interviewed at the Milwaukee de-
pot this morning, but would not un
bosom himself, All he would say was
"Yon'd better vote for Harden and not
have to eat crow. You don't look as
though crow agreed with you" This
was all Abraham said. There are those
who will hold that this war q great deal
for Abraham to say. Ia Justice to him
we will state that the remark must have
been impromptu, as he wac taken wholly
%unawaIes while the assembled multitude
was in rapt contemplation of his swell
front Prince Albert coat.
A prominent resident of Cherokee,
Iowa, who was in Yankton yesterday,
said it was still the plan of the Illinois
Central railroad company to build from
LeMars to Ysnkson and westward from
Yanktoa up the Missouri river. He
said the company had already purchas-
ed right of way from Cherokee to Sioux
City, over which it would build and then
sell its road from LeMars to Sioux City.
Its extension westward from LeMars,
via Ysnkton, would be a prolongstion OF
Its main line, the Omaha, Sioux City and
Sioux Falls lines being feeders. This
gentleman obtained his information di.
rect from a high official in the company.
Colonel s. j.. Oonklin, editor OF
Oonkliu's Dakotiap. published in
WATERFOWL, said in Yankton this morn
ing that his paper would come out
strongly ID its pext issue for Mathews
for congress-. Heretofore the Conklin-
~tonlan leaning has been towards Harden
but the colonel is not the style OF q
politician upon whom the flies can roost
with any comfort and his Judgment tells
him Mathews is the better man for all
practical purposes. This conclusion Oh
his part is important because his paper
is gospel in the farmers aIlianoe-in fact
he is the father OF the alliance in Dakota.
