Building Boom, Manufacturing aAd
Railroads.
The Business Mems club of Yankton
has accepted the proposition of DR..
Rutgers to build a $4,000 opera house,
and will give him a bonus of $4,000 to
that end. over $4,000 of the bonus was
raised in the streets in n few hours. and
the rest is in sight. The opera house
will be up-to-date in every particular.
and will have an extra story on top. TO
serve as an assembly and amusement
hall in the summer season. This sum-
mer garden will be surrounded by high
arched glass windows, built close to-
gether, extending on three sides, and
arranged so that they can be raised TO
the ceiling in fair weather, practically
making a roof garden of this story.
Work will begin on the building as
o o as the plans are completed.
The club has also accepted the prop
osition of Andrew Carnegie, and will
furnish a site and $1,000 a year, in re-
turn for the erection of a so, 900 library
building. Work on this building will
also begin as soon as possible. Besides
these structures, that the general pub
lie of the town is more or less interest
ed in, at least four large business
blocks will be started In the early
spring, and contracts are already let
for more residence structures than
have beer erected before for a number
of years. Couple these with the per-
sistent railroad rumors and the investi-
cations made by Eastern capitalists in
the cement and clay fields, and the
chances for the long -looked-for awak-
ening Of the city seems likely of accom-
~pIishrnent.

The people of Rockford and the CEN

tating the question of having a tele-
phone, and It is nk ely a system will be
the In on the cooperative plan. There
are two telephone companies operating
in the Black Hills. the Black Hills and
the Harrison. There are lines of COM
munication between the towns Of the
Northern Hills and those located in the
extreme Eastern ard Southern portion.
These lines have been built along the
Eastern foot hills and do not include
Rockford. The companies assert tina
the business of Rockford would not
warrant them In building across the
iftteen or twenty miles of unsettled
region to reach that town. and h peo-
ple have about decided to build their
own line. It is proposed to build a line
from the town to the Burlington depot.
which is nearly a milye out of town.
Lines would also be extended to Horne
blende Camp, five miles away. and to q
number of the important mines within
a radius OF eight OF ten miles.

AN UNCOVERED GRAVE.

Am OLD Grave Discovered by Excavn-
ton by Deadvvood WOrISmen.
An unmarked grave was found by
some workmen while making an exca-
walton in what was for some year the
Deadwood cemetery. The grave had
been overlooked when the bodies were
removed TO the new cemetery, a num-
Der of years ago. The coffin crumbled
TO powder upon exposure to the air,
but there remained the skull and a few
bones, which were r~e-interred in Mount
Moriah cemetery. From the location
of the grave, II was evidently made
twenty-six a ago, and probably
contained the remains Of one of the
first white men to set foot in Dead
wood.

A s a spring medicine Pernna Is q
n never failing remedy. 1t cleanses
the blood through digestion, and
gives one to the whole system by increas-
ing the nutritive value of the food.
"Spring fever" as it is sometimes called,
which produces a tired out, sleepy feel
ing, and inability TO do much mental or
physical work, is the result of a sluggish
digestion.
The great popularity that Peruna has
is due to the fact that in all such cases
it at once correct digestive derange-
ments and enriches the blood by purifying
this very important source of that vital
fluid.

England and finds that breaches OF
trust have been very numerous there OF
recent years. The newspapers, he says
have reported case after case OF fraud
by trusted professional agents and by
other persons, some Of these rogues
being distinguished among men, ana
notable for the assured effrontery OF
their suaye utterances Of the highest
principles Of professional conduct This
proposition Is supposed to be demon
strated by official records. The aver
age yearly number Of crimes, or In
dlctabe offences reported to the police
In England and Wales during the peril
cd 1859 was 5000, those classed as
frauds numbering 1873 During the
period is0O-9i the figures were 1881
and 2O6s. From 1859 they were 49,
i5s and 259g. Thus II would seem that,
while crime IN general was materially
decreasing, frauds were rapidly multi
plying. Other crimes fell off 10 per
cent in number In fifteen years, while
frauds increased more than 3S per cent
We DO not know what reliance may
be placed on the deductions drawn
from the figures presented but II is
probably true that there Is as little con-
science In the world as ever, as regards
mime and thine" Formerly robbery
was done more on the plan Of the pi-
rate and the hlghwayman. Now II is
done in a more genteel manner And
il all the fraud that is perpetrated
under the cover Of law or outside the
reach Of law, is considered, It is pro-
badly true that there is more of It
practscd now than at any time in the
history OF man.
