assert that they wouldn't vote for Cleve
land if they had chance and would vote
for Harrison if they had q chance. There
are other democrats 1Eo are happy in
their disfranchisement, because this is
an off year with them.
The prodact of Smiths brick yard
condemned for use in the outside walls
of the insane hospital, will all be used
IN the interior walls. These brick are
servioeable where they encounter nc
exposure, but are too pourous for con.
tact SIth moisture. So the Smith ma
chine will continue to grind.

man OF the Milwaukee railroad shops in
Yankton, is now in charge of the wreck
ing train OF the Milsaukee company

Last yesr'a drouth In Iowa, Wisconsin
and Illinois taught ths people of those
states that wild hay grows upon the Da-
kota and Nebraska bottoms of the Mis-
souri, which Is superior to eastern Gull
tivsted hay. They had to come west

mill, has inst received tabulated state.
ment giving the prices of wool in the
United States from the dawn of the
first sheep down to the present day. 1t
shows that since the Mills tariff bill
was brought under discussion wool has
gone lower ia price than 1t ever was be-
fore and the market is very much un-
settled. If the mere introduction of the
bill causes such drop what would be
the fate of wool with the bill enacted
into q law?
Emil Schandein, the extensive Mil
waukee brewer and brother of Adolph
Sohandein, formerly OF Yankton and our
city treasurer, died in Germany last Sun
day, while on visit to his old home. He
had nearly completed the most elegant
residence in the country at Milwaukee
and was preparing to settle down to the

Yankton, having been frequent visitor
here when his brother was one OF us.
The distinguished locking delegation
which this forenoon occupied one of
Powers, three-seaters was an aldermanic
committee en- route to college hill to
view depression in Mulberry street
In front OF Foskett's residence, which is
to be brought up to grade. The alder
manic committee contemplates modify
ing the grade in that neighorhood. II
the graders should hew to the established
line it would make the street ss high as

O. q. Bates has demonstrated that q
herd brick walk costs no more than q
plank walk. while it will outlast several
plank walks. He has just completed a
brick walk along the sixty-slx feet of his
residence front on Mulberry street for
$3.50 and his estimates show that a
plank walk would have cost Just
about the same. The sidewalk
question is the most interesting
one now before the people and facts per-
tanning thereto are valuable. The Bates
walk made of Portland cement would
have cost about $55.
Tomorrow evening at eight O'Clock

with the purpose OF ra tifying the noml-
nations of Cleveland and Professor Har-
den, pair OF political accidents. There

Watertown convention. 1t will be n
quiet affair.
