ton is looking to the possibility of win

team is good for it.
a Yenkton member of the Wstertow
committee appointed to formulate
charges against Governor Church says
nothing has been done and the move
ment seems to be stricken with general
debility. When the wicked rule there's
no use kicking against the pricks.
A decided change has taken place in
the river channel at the point where it
was eating so v~oraciously into the bot
tom land inst below Ysnkton. The
channel has shifted to the Nebraska side
and there are symptoms OF q bar in front
of the endangered point. River men are
OF the opinion that the change is per-
manent.
Yankton democrats are not hilarious
over the st. Louis convention. Con.
trarywise, they are somewhat glum, like
men who feel that coming events
cast their shadows before and that there
is liable to be a cold day in November as
we'll as in Dakota. The way Cleveland

Sootlard's hook and ladder company
reached Yarkton last night from the
Huron tournament and departed for
home to-day. The Scotland boys did
not participate in the tournament exer-
cises, being present only as spectators.
They report the Yankton team rs
about the best in the Huron gathering.
This is q disinterested opinion and one

The city is constructing some elevated
sidewalk approaches to the Burleigh
street Rhine bridge which will prove q
continual joy to the pedestrian. The
location requires q long stretch OF side

widened by filling in close up to che
walks. Then the Burleiah street cross-
ing will be q safe, commodious and COM
Portable t~horoughfare.
Commodore Koantz, of Allegheny
City, who is now in Yankton, is so much
interested in the street railway project
that he is willing TO put up consider
able capital in its behalf. The oommo-
dore was for many years manager and
chief owner of the Allegheny City street
railway and still has q hundred thous-
and dollars in the plant. AS a practical

ject 10 encouraging. The commodore is
also DESTROYS of participating in the
sinking Of an experimental hole 2,400
feet deep, to ascertain what is under us,
and says he will take a quarter interest
in the project. Such g hole is ceYtain to
tap artesian water and is liable to en-
counter coal, salt, oil and gas. He says
a hole four inches in diameter, OF the
