In yesterday issue was given q brief
Abstract of tho remarks OF DR.. Ward
from the Congregational pulpit Sunday /.
relative to Yankton college and what 1t
has done during its brief career. The
figures produced by Dr.. Ward are proof
conclusive that the college is an institu-
tion that Yankton should foster and en-.
courage to the extent OF its ability.
| Unless Ysnkton stands by the college
(as it always has right loyalty it can
hardly expect the balance OF South Ds-
kota {, stand by it. But we feel that
there is no danger OF home neglect. An
Institution of such great value com.
mepds itself.
There is good reason to believe that
the Chicago & Northwestern company
will build from harrington to Yankton
this season and will build q sixteen mile
cut off from Wakefield to Bancroft,
This will give q nearly direct line from
Yankton 20 Omaha and it Is in response
to the Omaha demand that the company
~contemplates filling these gaps. Though
there is being little said in the wi
papers OF Omaha relative to @ Yankton
connection, the feeling in businsss
orioles is strong and growing stronger
every week thst there must be a rail line
attaching Omaha to the Jim river vslleJ
OF Dakcaa. The Northwestern canno
afford to permit any other company &c
fill this gap. 1t is now accommodating
grading material at or near Wakefield.

opportunities. They have already
picked up considerable Ysnkton prop
erty and wall take more II 1t can be pro
cured ct reasonable prices. A part O

very much needed. Messrs. Atwater 1
90. will be ready to begin business in
q day or two.
