Dakota Town Enthusiastic Over New
Railroad Project. ..

For the second time in the history
OF the town Yankton has at present
an excellent prospect of securing d
southern outlet by rail, which Of
course means n bridge spanning the
Missouri river at or near this point.
Today Fremont Hill. who is associated
with Senator Gamble, Isaac Piles n
w. J. Fantlc and eastern capitalists IN
the Yankt0n & Southern railroad, Tor
hich articles of incorporation nave
been filed at Pierre, informed the
Yankton Commercial association that
the was in position to con-
struct a bridge across the missouri
river at his point and build a stand
ard guage steam railroad soHth, al
most as the crow flies to n point IN
Texas. where it will tap n OF the
three lines leading to the Galveston
port. The feature of his announce
mert which will be of especial i'm
portarce. aside from the fact that the
intends to build, is that the
property owners in Yankton who Will
be, If the road IS constructed, i'm
men~c}y benefited, will not be asked
for l cent of bonus until the bridge
is constructed and the road in opera
ton between Yankton and Norfolk
Neb. Then the citizens of the Mother
City of the Dakotas" will be asked
to give the company a boost by do
mating so per cent of 100000. When
the rails of the projected Yankton u
Norfolk reach a point in Texas where
they tap the rails of a line making
connection with the great gulf port
Yankton will be expected to come for
ward with the remaining SO per cent
of the bonus. The company binds II
self to complete the entire line and
secure the gulf outlet before the ex-
piration of the yea 1910.
The charter for the construction OF
n bridge across the Missouri at this
| point was secured by Senator Gamble
during the last session of the nationa
cor-ress. the charter being secured
in the name of the Winnipeg & Gull
Railroad company.
Senator Gamble does not care tc
discuss details. hut he has great conf
dence in the men behind the projec,
and therefore has reason to believe
that the road will be built and oper'
ated in due time

STAY IN BED; EAT pIGwEED.

Russian Peasants resorts for Saving
Menger Supply of Grain.
Crop reports received in st. Peters
burg from sevcnty-ene districts of
Russia show a yield of wheat and rye
of 1865. 000,0 900 pounds. which is be-
low the average. The winter grain
crop. deducting seed for grain. leaves
for feeding the population 31s pounds
per man. Much of this is exported.
In several interior provinces peasants
have taken to their beds, lying mo-
tionless for days at a time in order to
weaken the pangs of hunger. They
have been mixing Their scanty supply
OF grain with pigweed to make more
filling for bread.

Eastern Lines Decide to Stop Paying
Steamship Commission.
Executive officials of eastern roads
again have me- and solemnly resolved
to stop paying commissions on east
bound steamship business. which ag-
%gregates fully 100000 annually. This
resolution is said to take effect on
Sunday night and to be the sixteenth
of its kind passed by the executives
during the last five years. The latest
resolution has coupled with IL a prop
osition looking to the pooling of the
steamship business after January l.,
provided a plan can be arranged
which will prove satisfactory. such a
division. however, could hardly take
effect until President L. Tuttle, of the
Boston &c Maine. decides what roads
are entitled to use differential fares.
No direct charges were made in the
meeting Against any road, but those
roads which were paying commissions
admitted the fact and declared they
were meeting competition

nearing of Frank Kenny, a home
steader in the ceded portion of the
Rosebud Indian reservation in Greg

for afterwards was claimed by an
other setter. who caused Kenzy's ar
rest when he found the stock in his
