The city of Yankton is expert


encing some of the disadvantages
of referendum. The city COM
mission had made arrangements
to sell bonds of $50, 900 for the i'm
provement of the water system,
and had received a bid of $l, 200
premium on the bonds. Some of
the citizens were dissatisfied with
the offer and invoked the referend-
um. The result was that new bids
had to be called for and only one
bid was received. Instead of a
premium, this bid demanded dis
count of 1900. Several other
replies were received, but they
stated that owing to the present
condition of the money market
they did not care to bid on the
bonds. A contract for new water
mains has been let and there seems
to be no way of meeting the ex.
pense except to issue warrants
! bearing 10 interest.

G. w. Downey, for many years
city editor of the Mitchell Repub
lican, has purchased the Mitchell
Gazette Office and will continue to
publish the paper as democratic
weekly, and perhaps later make a
daily edition of it. Mr.. Downey is
a good newspaper man, but his
new duties will require a little
political sammersault.

ATTEND THE cHAUTAUoUA

The Chautauqua will open next
Saturday and will continue five
days. The Chautauqua work is a
new departure in Scotland and
many are not familiarwith the ma
ture of the entertain ments to be
given, and therefore hesitate about
buying season ticket. They an
ticipate some sort of cheap vaude
Vile or fake carnival stunt brot
here for the purpose of booming
the business interests of the town.
That this is not the case is mani
fest from the fact that the general
stores have agreed to close their
doors while the sessions are being
held. While the programs will be
varied in their nature, and the
amusement feature will not be neg
lected, and music will be "a promi-
nent feature, yet running thru the
entire course will be an education
al and moral tone. The Chautau-
qua movement is designed to be
elevating in it's influence and free
from the frivolous and sensational
features of the "cheap john"show W
II will be we'll worth your while to
attend the entire program and the
cost is very moderate. Remember
that in order to secure this enter
tainment it was necessary fol
some of our citizens to put up
liberal guarantee with the expec
tation that it will mean financia
loss to them. Should the .ventur,
prove reasonably successful thi
year we may expect to make 1t al
annual attraction. If you are IN
terested in the moral and intellec
tual uplift of the com munity yo'
can help by purchasing a eeasol
ticket of the local committee an
attending as many as possible 9
the meetings.

answering two complaints received
recently In the mayors ONCE, offers
the excuse that the pesky stoves arc
likely to balk any time and refuse 10
shed heat despite the best efforts OF
the conductors. several OF whom are
graduates from railroad fire cabs.
In his communication regarding
the complaint made by A. Tanning
that the stoves In Trumbull cars Nos.
636 and 2S4 were cold on the morn,
ing of Jan. 81, Van Zandt writes that
the company found that the fires in
both stoves were going when the cars
left the yards In the morning and
when they returned. Then he goes
on TO explain that the conductors en-.
counter difficulties in the successful
operation of the car stoves just as
every householder finds 1t impos-
