the new meat market, make an announce
ment in another column.
—Tom Hood has been adding greatly to
the appearance of his store, by giving the

—Duck shooting is now almost a mania
with sportsmen, the sloughs and surface
water ponds are full, affording fine sport
for gunners,
—The methodist sabbath school will be
held in the church on Sunday next at 10
o'clock a. m., and preaching at 7 p. m.,
in the same place.
—What are we going to do for potatoes
if our local dealers continue to hoard them

home consumption.
—Dr. Southard has fitted up the rooms
on the corner of Main and Fifth streets,
for a firm from Sioux Falls, who intend to

lian, as a grocery department, using his
present place for the dry goods depart
ment.
—Republican county convention next
Saturday to place in nomination a com
missioner for the 2d district, in place of
O. T. Brandhagcn, whose term expires
January 1st, 1882.
—Several buildings are on the move
this week. It is nothing uncommon to
awake and discover that one has new
neighbors, so rapidly do changes occur,
buildings arc going up on all sides.
—L. Simmons, our enterprising furni
ure dealer will remove to' Dr. Southard's
building, it being a better location. He
has a new stock and will sell it at reason
able prices. See "ad" in another column
and then give him a call.
—Rev. J. H. Grace, lately from Clar
ion, Iowa, has been placed in charge of
the Methodist church at Canton and Be
loit. He will be of great assistance to
wards increasing the growth of the church
which is already in a flourishing condition.
—Mike McMann has obtained a hay
press and is bailing large quantities for
Chicago market. This busincs will soon
become an important one for Dakota, as
we have and will have for some time an
inexhaustible quantity for export.
—The Eden Sun is a thing of the past,
Brother Mathews having decided to re
move to Menno, and forsake Lincoln
county. We wish him good luck. An
editors life is not an enviable one, now up,
now down with every wind that blows,
—Since tho occupation of Dakota by
white men the immense amount of rain
fall has not been known to equal that of
this season. Tho streams are bank ftill,
meadow and bottom lands are eovorod
with water, and the roads in many places
arc impassible
—The Chicago, Milwaukee & St, Paul
railroad company employs 13,240 men to
which it pays in the aggregate $?,
180,8.15,
The earning of the company for Juno, the
heaviest months work done by the compa
ny was $l,659,fi28.40. This is a splendid
showing one ftf thp great northwestern
trunk lines,

—1 'Any good shooting on your farm
asked the hunter of the farmer. 'Splen
did" replied the agriculturist "there's a
drive well man down in tho grove, a oloth
peddler in the house, seven candidates out
at the barn and two tramps down in the
cattle shed. Climb right over the fence
3'oung
man, load both barrels and sail in.
—The enterprising proprietors of tho
Cataract House, Sioux Falls, Corson
Prop, are arranging for lighting Jlwir Iw-
car on a train
ifca
tel with gas, and every room will have its
burner. What those gentlemen do not
know about keeping hotel is not nocessary
to know. The Cataracts' reputation is
an enviable one among hotelists.
—That the Northwestern railroad is
coming to Calliope seems to be a fixed fact,
and that this road ii also to be extended
at once into Dakota in a northwesterly
course is also apparent. This company
seem bound to occupy tho rich country of
this territory along with the Milwaukee.
—The Grand Lodge of Odd Fellows
that convened at Yankton last week was
well attended, and the delegates from
abroad were feted and banqueted by the
Yankton people, who are noted for their
hospitality. Capt. Harlan, of the Harlan
House, was the representative from Can
ton.
—Sioux Falls Argus: Wc saw a tele
gram from Council Bluffs the other day,
sent to oue of our citizens, requesting him
to buy five car loads of potatoes aud ship
them down. Potatoes in Council Bluffs
are worth $1.50 per bushel. We hope
our merchants will see to it that none go
out of this market, for the crop is short,
and all raised here will be needed for home
consumption.
—E. C. Palmer & Co., wholesale groc
ers of Sioux City, have published an at
tractive periodical or grocers price list for
October. This firm sold $52,000 worth of
of goods during September last. The
trade of all the Sioux City merchants is
on the increase, and it should so continue,
for that city has some of the best business
men in the North-west, and the town is
bound to be the wholesale point for our
retail traders in the Sioux valley.
—A. V. II. Carpenter, of the M:lwau
kec road has issued the following notice:
To Agents and Conductors: My circular
of April 11, 1881, restricting the use of
tickets between Chicago and St. Paul and
Minneapolis, to Chicago, LaCrosse and
river divisions is hereby withdrawn, and
in the future tickets between Chicago and
Milwaukee and points in Iowa, Minnesota
and Dakota may be honored via any route
by which direct connection is made. Un
der this rule, passengers between Chjcago
and points west of the Mississippi River
may go via Savannah, Prairie du Chien,
or LaCrosse, as they may elect.
—The exhibition, or play, "The Last
Loaf," advertised by the Lennox people
to be given in Canton on Friday evening
next, is one worth seeing. We witnessed
the perforance while at the Fair week be
fore last and can heartily recommend it to
our people as one well worth patronizing.
The ladies who arranged the play for Len
nox will have it repeated here for the pur
pose of raising funds towards repairing
the injury done the only church Lennox
has, on Monday by lightning. LATF.R—
They appeared here last and were greeted
by a full house.
—J. W. Taylor finds time aside from
professional business to set the example
that all our farmers ought to follow—stock
raising. He has purchased the Peterson
farm north-west of town anil is going to
stock it at once with one-hundred head of
blooded cattle. On Mon lay last he rc
ccived by express three Jersey heifers and
one bull calf, the four costing $1,000, be
sides $(0 express charges. Investments
of this character, not only will prove profit
able to the purchaser, but tend more to
encourage stock growing and stimulate
our farmers to do what experience has
proved the most profitable of any branch
of Dakota farming, abandon wheat grow
ing as a business and utilize the millions
of tons of the splendid grass that rots on
the ground yearly.
—Those that did not venture out last
Thursday night to hear W. B. Affleck,
missed a rare treat. To say that he is a
genius only half expresses his character.—
A self-made man, born under the poorest
of circumstances, who grew up to man
hood before he learned the alphabet, a
coal miner by occupation in his youth and
a native of England. W. B. Affleck is
one of those remarkable cases, which
prove that talent is a gift, and that will, is
a motive power in the development of a
persons intellect. Those who have not
heard the lecture 'Lost for want of a
word" can scarcely realize the broad sense
of the term, but as he proposes to favor
us with another visit in a few days, we
hope all our intelligent oitizens will be able
to enjoy so delightful an evening as only
Mr. Affleck can give.
—These high-priced times when stocks
and produce are booming beyond what
the most sanguine could have hoped for,
prove disastrous to many heavy, dealers
and operators. One firm in Philadelphia
failed last week with liabilities of $1,000,
000. There never was known such rapid
advancement in prices, the produce mar
ket instances of unreasonable movements
upwards, Wheat was sold in Sioux Falls
even, on Saturday last for $1.57 a bushel,
and the market for potatoes everywhere
is higher than ever reached before, Corn
dropped seven ocnts in one day. The
wheat, corn and suoh products are evi
dently moved by speculative schemes, but
potatoes are really a scarce article, the
yield being light generally, But Stiokney
of Elk Point, has obtained at tho rate of
320 bushels to thp acre. This is an ex
ceptional yield.
—The entertainment at the Court house
last night by tho Lennox Dramatic Club
was well attended, und gave good satisfac
tion, The Last Loaf' being the subject,
which is a touohing instaneo of the evils
of intemperance. Mr, P. F, Haas, as
Mark Ashton, showed a decided talent
for the stago. Mrs, Ashley, as Mrs. Ash
ton, exhibited such a natural talent for
acting that one could hardly foil from feeh
ing the sorrow of the situation, while the
other characters all done justice to t!{gir
several parts. The farce was truly laugh
able, the old l*dy with her baggage *w
appreciated, and caused much fiin. Dur
ing the evening a vote was cast for the
Qopt popular ywwg My Mi*
r— 1ffOnagBBM|j.aaUI,t IMUMWtty- iaigh JLTVOU},
Maud Russell and Georgie Coloney being
the candidates. Some controversey was
oacassioned by tho strife, but Georgie's
friends were bound to win, although the
contest was olose. Both are interesting
young girls, and it is hard to decide the
merits of either. But Georgio got the
prize, a fine volume of Thackary's. Over
$50 was raised by the vote, which will be
used in repairing the church at Lennox,
lately struck by lightning, it being only
recently completed. Canton has showu
its appreciation of our county's talent
and no doubt the favor will be reciprocat
ed in the future. We hope the event
will be an encouragement to our dramatio
troupe which is shortly to give Canton a
benefit.
—Last evening, as Miss Lilly Ashley,
in the drama was acting her role, her
dress which was of pink tarleton caught
fire by a foot-light, and but for the prompt
assistance of O. N. Russell, who sprang
quickly and extinguished the blaze, she
would have been seriously burned had not
assistance arrived in time.
—"Mae" as correspondent of Yankton
Press: "Of all the rains this section has
witnessed since Noah branched out in the
steamboat business, this section has had in
the past twenty-four hours. Canton looks
gloomy to-day. It feels gloomy. The
active city fathers have immortalized
themselves in failing to have many needed
sidewalks built. A man can get off a
sidewalk in about as short notice in Can
ton as anywhere in Dakota, and get into
about as honest and friendly mud as ever
increased the weight of a pair of brogans.
It hangs like a bill for newspaper sub
scription. We saw several mud shanties
coming toward the Naylor this afternoon
that would put a railroad scraper to
shame, and yet the city dads fail to take
this hint. Tt may not be generally known
but it is a fact nevertheless, that Canton
is quite a town for sensations. Within
the last year two parties, with spouses
elsewhere, have come here and courted
and won two chunks of blushing feminini
ty, and soon thereafter came to grief by
the appearancc of No. Is. There are
either boss openings for such delicious
pastimes at this point, or the roving hen
pecked husbands kind of drop in here
and soon tumble to their affininities.
Canton must either have lots of willing
maidens, or perfect mashers who soon get
a fellow loony. Just how handsome Can
ton girls are, the writer can't say, as the
weather has always been muddy during
our sojourn here, and we have not had
time to see their faces. We have a sly
inkling of a case just budding that will
make food for sewing circles and tea par
ties at an early day, if the fellows wife
does not loom up too soon. It is said to
be a ease of "goneness" on both sides.—
Our informant says he is sure the man has
a wife down east, but says he has no desire
to spoil any fun.

The Hew Deal.
Tho demooratio Vioc President pro tern
Senator Bayard did not enjoy the luxury
of the position but for a brief period, for
on Thursday last Senator David Davis of
Illinois was choson Vice President in the
place of Bayard. That Davia is a mau of
ability is well known but his peculiar
oounw at times sinoe his becoming a mem
ber of the Senate has caused a good deal
of comment, at times he would vote with
the demociats and at others with the re
publicans, so that when matters were olose
enough to count noses, Davis was always
estimated as doubtful by both sides until
his vote alone would tell where he stood.
Of late, those who have watched his
course consider that his views are general
ly with the republicans and with the ad
ministration. Tho leaders of the latter
party in the Senate evidently considered
him a republican and have faith that he
will prove true to their trust. Much com
ment is made as to President Arthur's
intention about his cabinet. Secretary's
Windom and McVeagh have resigned,
and their places will be filled by some new
appointees. Many of the present federal
appointees in the territories are slightly
tremulous over a possible change in the
cabinet, and some think the prospects of
a continuance in their positions are not
exceedingly brilliant.
Dakota Doings.
Highway robberies are becoming
of frequent occurences in Dead
wood.
Sixty babies have been born in the little
town of Lead City, during the past two
weeks.
Thomas H. Brown has purchased a half
interest in the Sioux Falls Times, E. 0.
Kimberly retaining the other half.
Paul Boyton has reached Pierre, on the
Missouri. It would be a novel experience
if he should be frozen in, rubber suit, ten
der and all.
A chicken show will occur in Deadwood
sometime in November. All the fine
breed of fancy fowl that the Hills contain
will be on exhibition.
President Arthur is fifty-one years old,
weighs two hundred and fifteen pounds, is
a widower and a member of the Episco
pal church.
Some of the Yankton people are mov
ing in the matter of of establishing an ex
tensive pork house. It would doubtless
be a good investment and a fine thing for
the Capitol.
Heavy rains sinoe September 1st have
swelled the Upper Mississippi and its
tributaries enormously, which iB some
thing unusual at this season of the year.
Dell Rapids Exponent: The tracklay
ers have got about half way to the Falls
with the ties and rails. With good weath
er and plenty of material they would reach
Sioux Falls in about two weeks. They
were reinforced Saturday with an invoice
of upwards of fifty Germans, just over
from the Faderland.
Some of the Yankton business men
have organized a railroad company and
filed the necessary articles of incorporation
with Secretary Hand, for the purpose of
building a road from LeMars to Yankton.
The course of the Northwestern beyond
Calliope being unsettled as to making
Yankton a point, has probably led to the
step.
The Mitchell Capital states that the re
sult of the election upon the consolidation
of Hanson and Davison counties decidod
against the consolidation proposition. In
Davison county the vote stood seventy-six
for consolidation and 221 against it. The
Hanson county majority was also opposed
to consolidation.
Yankton Press: A telegram from Far
go states that the republican territorial
committee met in that city on the 13th
inst., and organized by electing C. T. Mc
coy, secretary, and D. C. Thomas, treasu
rer. The, committee then adopted resolu
tions inviting the democrats to unite in a
call for two conventions, one north and
one south, to consider the subject of divis
ion of the territory. The telegram then
anuounces that the convention for north
ern Dakota had been called to meet at
Fargo on the first Tuesday in December,
ant that the southern Dakota convention
would meet a few weeks later. We are
not informed as to the manner of securing
representation in these two conventions,
but the plan will undoubtedly be develop
ed later. Delegates should be selected
with care and men chosen who can strong
ly present the claims of southern Dakota
to statehood,
Southern Dakota has no time to lose
in bringing about its admission as a state.
Fortunately for our interests we now have
A republican majority in congress and this
oondition may not last. With a democrat
ic majority thore would bo very little hope
of affeoting the admission of a state which
will be strongly republican. Now is tho
time to aot and prompt, vigorous aotion Is
needed, So long as Dakota remains a
territory there will be neithor political
peace nor material prosperity. To secure
these things a people must govern them
selves. A dependenoy upon the general
government will not prosper, It is not
in the nature of things that it should,—
Southern Dakota is now prepared to enter
into a system of strong and effective self'
government, but should it happen that
tho change is postponed beyond the ten
ure of the present republican majority in
congress it may be oompolled to wait many
years for another opportunity,—Yankton
