New York World: While Ben Butler

that the defendant had been seen to

The young girl leaned over the railing
and asked her sisters counsel for copy

table before him. She hurled the VOL

at Gen. Buffers head. 1t was good
shot, and, had the governor not di-

A RADICAL CHANGE.

The Missouri Makes q Cut-OH South
of stones Island-Important Results
Follow.
For the first time IN the memory OF
the Oldest Notwithstanding back O
quarter OF a century-the entire volume
of the Missouri river flows along the Ne
braska side OF Stones Island, just below
the city. This takes all the water from
the endangered point below the Milwau-
kee round house and bar is now form
ing there which will ultimately connect
Stones Island with Dakota. There is
now no necessity for moving thu Mil
waukee and Northwestern tracks to the
new grade made for the purpose of
escaping the encroachments OF the river.
By the change in the channel those
tracks are practically thrown inland
about mile. The long threatened
danger to the entire Jim river point is
removed AMI instead OF destruction
khero will be acoretions all along the
Dakota side. The DETECTION OF the
channel from the Nebraska side to the
Dakota side directly opposite the CITY
continues and about one-third the chan
mel now comes this way, striking the
bank about at Broadway and DETECTING
therefrom and turning back to the Ne.
braska side about at Capitol street. It
is thought that this portion OF the chan
mel will return to the Nebraska side as
soon as a small point off Aten IS worn
away and that the entire force and vol
ume Of the rssping current of the Mis-
souri, will grind against the yielding
Nebraska bottom OF the Missouri oppos-
ite Yankton. The probabilities there
fore are that most OF she tract known ss
the Green Island bottom will eventually
be swallowed up by the Missouri and
that the forces which consummate its
destruction will build wide bottom on
the Dakota side. The three steamers
which have passed up and down the
river this summer went through the
Stones Island cut off-for long years
nothing but q slough.

John 0ldem Arrested for Rather

The girl says that at about midnight
last night she was asleep in her room in
the Scandinavian house, on the corner OF
Third and Pine Streets, that she was
awakened by noise at her east window,
which was open, and that upon looking
up she saw man sitting in the window,
gazing calmly at her. She left her bed
and went to the other side OF the room
to awaken the family below, when the
man disappeared.
oldem says he intended no harm. He
simply climbed upon low shed at the
rear OF the house and getting up to the
window sat there TO scare the girl But
oldem has been circulating bad stories
about the girl, and there are those who
think the girl had cause to be alarmed.
The district attorney examined the
case this afternoon, but found no statute
under which the man could be held. as
he had not made an assault or even
forced an entrance, His actions we're
culpable, however, and the attorney
recommended that he be given sufficient
time to leave town.

Yankton county has 8,640 acres of
land exempt from taxation by virtue OF
timber culture. The assessment is no
indication of the real wealth OF the
county. as will be seen by the various
items above given,
Reference to the above figures from
the assessment roll with reveal points
OF interest. II will be noticed that an
increase of $2l, ,78S is given for 1883 over
1878. and ID will also be apparent that
the assessment of ell property is ex-
ceedIngly low. This Indicates that the
quantity of assessable property Is con.
stantly increasing.
Ii should be borne In mind that all
improvements to landed possessions
now in the course OF creation are not
assessed In this roll, because OF not
being completed.
Attention ls called to tho number of
hogs and the assessed valuation OF those
animals. A moments calculation will
demonstrate the fact that, according to
she assessment rolls, hogs are worth
only So per head, while as matter Of
fact each hog is worth at least five times
that amount, And, also, only hogs
az months old are numbered
among the assessed animals and that all
of the spring swine of 1888
are to be marketed at market
value. Correspondingly low figures
will be found in the assessed valuation
of ell other property.
Note the smoubt OF capital invested in
manufacturers. The figures are SIS 1856,
when the Excelsior mills alone are worth
twice that sum. Also the amount of the
value OF stocks and shares. The First
National bank alone has shares in excess
OF the figures given, but the assessor
made all the stocks and shares in the
county worth only $l9355. Ac ,ording
to the assessment roll all the people of
Yankton combined have not monies and
credits more than ss9. $50. Horses, ac-
cording to the assessment, are only
worth $35 per head. That the assess
ment ia low, there is no doubt,
