"Oar new State aud Prohibition" to-
night at M. e. church, s p. M, by
Prof. A. r. Cornwall, of Minneapolis
There will be signing by the ''Bailey's.'
A rich time-let every body come.
The fact that the Manitoba company
has deoided positively to build to Ysnk-
ton, leaving the question of time as the
only open one, has already given Yank-
ton considerable of a lift, which is aided
by the certainty of the Norfolk link.
A company has been organized at
Oastalia, in Charles Mix county, for the
purpose of running q line of steamers
between Yankton and Chamberlain
Officers are to be elected this week. Two
boats will be bought or leased to run in
the line.
Il. E. Hudson is acting secretary of
the Yankton fire insurance company,
but he declines to take the position per.
manently though 1t was offered him by
the directory. He will perform the
duties until q permanent secretary can
be secured.
Lovers OF sweet music may have their
taste gratitied by attending the temper
anoe meeting at the Id. e. charoh this

The annual statement of the Mutual
life il surance company, Of New York,
appears in this paper. This company
is the leading life insurance company OF
the woodland among the. Oldest in the
United States. Its capital is colossal,
oyer one hundred and twenty-five
millions. Parties in quest of life in
snrsnce should investigate the merits OF
this old timer, H. s. Gamble, local agent,
Miss Carrie Haas was severly burned
upon her hands and arms yesterday, at
the residence of VIM. W~erdebsugh. She
was cleaning q pair of gloves with gaso-
line, in the usual way-keeping the
gloves on her hands during the rubbing
process. After saturatlng them with
gasoline she held her hands over O fire to
dry the gloves and they took fire. She
could not remove the burning gloves
and they were consumed on her bands,
burning her seriously but not danger
ously.
The scheme for disposlng of the waste
water from the CITY artesian yell through
o main feeding into the electric light
water wheel does not work. The main
is too small to carry off the waste and
ia frequently left closed when it should
be open. The result is that q portion of
central Yankton was overlooked last
night from the we'll and the city fathers
are far from serene to-day. They will
probably rescind the contract with the
eteotFio light company and let the water
waste through the old surface ditch.
A change in the registered mail SER
vice between Sioux City and Yankton,
began to-day. A very large number of
registered letters pass between Sioux
O.fy and Yankton ct present, and the
postmaster is obliged under the exist
ing arrangements to treat each regis
tered letter or package, separately, as to
Its address, and the receipts for it. The
new arrangement provides for the ad-
dition of an elmer registered pouch"
which will contain all tie registered
matter and which will be registered in
bulk. This will SAVE a great deal of
labor.
Last night at Turner hall was the
opening night OF the firemen's fair, and
a gorgeous occasion il was made. The
hall, in the completeness of it's furnish
ings. is a scene OF rare bsauty and at
Effectiveness. All that skilled art can
c%ontFibGte is there and it ia worth an
hour or two of any ones time to view
the collection. There was q taking mu.
sioal programme last evening and Gus
Branch gave an interesting Indian club
exhibition. The attendance was not as
large as the ladies hopesto see during the
succeeding evenings OF the fair and their
attentiveness deserves the fullest ~resliza-
tion OF their hopes. A special feature Of
the entertainment is the department
which furnishes plenty to eat at ell
hours of the day and evening. This is
presided over by skilled caterers. This
evening will be the second evening OF
the fair.
