Word has been received from Presi-
dent Pierce, who has been in Europe
| for some time, that he has ti0ated the
bonGs Of the Norfolk and Yankton
road. The negotiation has just been
closed, and the deal is very favor
able one. The line of seventy miles,
| from Yankton to Norfolk, is bonded
at S15, OC0 per mile, which isvery near
to the cost Of construction.

| ing each untrue, and finally recon-
mending the removal of Prof. Foster

Col. S. H. Jumper, of Aberdeen has
been made auxiliary receiver Of the
National Union company for all its
branch stores in South Dakota. He
will Immediately take charge of the
cOmpany's assets in the state, but the
majority OF the stores will continue
in business. 1t is thought there will
he no heavy losers, as the company
has done cash business right along.
There are dozen or more stores in
the state the principal headquarters
being in New York.
Startling developments are ex-
pected in relation to the future policy
and plans of the Harvey Peak com
pany. No explanation Of the recent
shutdown of the mines and the mills
have been given. The fact that
nearly 100 tons of casiterite of black
oxide of tin was saved during the late
run and is now ready for shipment
apparently shows that suspension
was not due to the failure of process
or the lack of tin in the ore. The
general opinion at the mines is that
work will be resumed upon larger
scale within short time.

On top of the movement to remove
the capital from Pierre to Huron
comes the declaration that an organ,
lied effort will be made to remove the
. Agricultural college from Brookings
to "A point between st. Lawrence and
Miller. The talk is that in connec.
tion with this is project to give the
permanent state fair to Aberdeen
and northern hospital for the in
sane to Redfield. There are also ru.
mors Of political deals in connection
, with these propositions, but as eXecu-
tion of the plans are SO problematical
they cut but little figure at the pres
ent time
