Yestetday's snow was much diminished by the warmth of the sun. This was fortu nate, as there are very few people who be lieve in cleaning sidewalks on the Sabbath. Our readers will not forget that this is the first day of spring. It starts in lamb like and lovely, but in this beginning there are suggestions of. ferocious Marcfi storm*. The rumor that ex Mayor Wynn is going into the ready made clothing buaineie in given us, but it does not reem to be well founded. It is stated by our informant that he designs running a lumber yard and a clothing store under one roof, in one of the new railroad towns, snd that Ben Smith has been giving him some valuable pointers. The chamber of commerce committee appointed to decide UDon a pi MI ("or indu cing settlers to occupy I he vc*tit lsnris about Yankton had a meo.tinir Stiurday night at which the ideas of the committee men weri noted down and a roujb draft of the scheme drawn off Tbe advantages which Ibis section offers will be presented In detail and an instructive document put lished which will be circulated in various portions of the east. The industry and persistency manifested br genuine jokers in the pursuit of their favorite diversion was demonstrated yester day at the Merchants hotel, where three or four choice spirits assembled and waited half the forenoon for a Third street grocer to put in an appearance so they could give his Sunday boots a coating of stove black ing. Their victim finally arrived and by skillful manipulation they induced him to pay ten cents for a "shine." Wheu the job was completed he discovered the fraud, but about this time mo^t of the jokers had gone to their rooms to prepare for church, having lost all interest in tbe concluding proceed ings. Assessor Ellerman giyes us some figures regarding Yankton county which are both interesting and instructive. Up to the end of the year 1879, there were 176,944 and 58-100 acres of land proved up and pa tented the total'assessment of May 5, 1879, was $1,654,702, against a valuation of $1,545,200 in 1877, which will be increased to $2,000,000 by the 1880 assessment, all of which is very much lesa than the selling value of the property on the same date there were in the county 6,408 cattle, valued at $70,852, 2,502 sheep, 80 mule", 894 wag ons, and 2,391 horses, tbe latter valued at $92, 257, The valuation on cattle was about two-fifths of their real worth and on horses about one-half. Assessor Ellerman is now engaged upon the 1880 assessment and his labors thus far indicate a large increase in the amount of property of all descriptions. J/'A representative of the Press and Dako- taian bad an interview with one of the lead ing officials of the Milwaukee road a few days ago and the result of his talk fully confirms our previous assertions regarding the construction of the Yankton lin^. He said, in substance, that the work in connec tion with tbe Yankton line had not at any time been interrupted that the company was now shipping timber through for this line that there had been at no time any in timation that it woultaiot be constructed that the pile drivers now busy on the main line, where they have about two weeks' work, have their orders to proceed immedi ately upon the completion thereof, to the Yankton line and there go to work that it would not do to leave open the country cov ered by the Yankton line, even if the com pany bought the Sioux City and Dakota that the line from Sioux Fall- to Sioux,Cit would be yaluable to the Milwaukee com pany, but that it did not want the old Dako ta Southern line. These are the solid fac:s coming direct to us from one in a position to know all about the matter. The informa tion fully confirms previous conclusions and we give it in contradiction of tbe many base less rumors with which the people have been afflicted during tbe past winter. While Yankton has never faltered in its belief that the Milwaukee company would fulfill its contract to the letter, there have been out side influences at work for the purpose of temporarily prejudicing us in the eyes of persons seeking homes in the west. Our neighbors are shining lights in the world of selfishness and their ruling passion labors unceasingly. As soon as the frost is out of the ground dirt will fly all along the line of the Yankton extension. Yankton gives the most encourrging ind cations of its ability to survive the destruc tive efforts of ita enemies at home and its enemies abroad and is to-day in a prospe:• ous snd go ahead condition notwithstanding UM combination of adverse elements which Vr baVeunwillingly and wittingly made its business to hang as dead weights upon its progress. With its enemies abroad we have no bone to pick, bat with it* home inalign ers there is many an unsettled old score. Tliev belong to tbe class of croakers and grumblers who are newer satisfied with the present and see nothing but ruin in the future. They are well meaning people generally but their habit of searching out and making a bugbear of the most trivial circumstances of adversity has transformed them from th^ir public spirited condition into an abnormal mood of unhappiness which has a depressing effect upon all who approach them. If the rush of profitable business halts for a day or a week and they gain time to look about them a little with freedom from the fatigue of money getting operations, they make it their vocation to impress upon everybody who will give them time for a moment's conversation their belief that our town has reached its death and there is no hope for its resuscitation. This class of croakers are a positive injury to any community and Yankton seems to have more than its share. Strangers notice it and comment upon it and as a natural result j^ave us with a very queer idea of its people, -We know of busi ness communities not a great ways from our city which have grown and prospered upon little else than the spirit of buncombe which pervades their commercial circles. They had little else to start with, but with courage and cbeek and a disposition to make the best out of the very worst are on the road to certain prosperity. Pluck wins, and a cheerful, hopeful spirit is tbe principle in gredient of business pluck. Hacker & Grebe are now receiving their spring goods and they aek the people to call and look at the elegant patterns which have cocie to them from tbe east. Suitings in every style and price made to order and pcrfcct fits guaranteed. A CONCERT PROMISED.

To the Press and Dakotaian, In your isaue of Friday last you stated that it was in my opinion necessary to close the public schools in order to prevent the spread of diphtheria in this city. I regret that our interview should have led to this misunderstanding, it being my wish to pre vent the children in which the disease ex isted from attending school, and thereby endangering those who had not previously been exposed. In this I was actuated by repeated complaints of parents, whose anxiety for their children had suggested this plan. I therefore would recommend to the school board the adoption of such measures as would accomplish this end.' The disease is unquestionably on the increase, and we must not presume too far upon the favorable hygenic condition of the city, and the un paralleled heshbful and invlfeoratiiTg cli mate of our territory. if Respectfully yours, 'A J. B. VAN VELSOB. Brown's Household Panacea. Is the most effective Pain Destroyer in the world.

Gene ral Cook is well k«wu to many of the old settlers. He ^elil a military command here and hereabouts |.reyious to the advent of General Sully and is pleasantly remembered by his former frienda and acquaintances. The Sioux City Journal says of the new agent: Gen. Cook is no stranger to Sioux City and the first inhabitants, he having had command of the troops stationed heie from November, 1862, until the following June, when he was relieved by Gen. Sully, He has the proud distinction of being tbe man to raise the first company of volunteers enlisted in Illinois in the late war, and commanded the first regiment formed in that state, aud further was the first Illinois officer to be promoted in the field to the rank of brigadier general, which honor was conferred upon him for gallant conduct at Donelson. He left the service a mnjor general. The late Capt. Smith of this city was bis adjutant, and a more efficient adju tant he says never served. General Cook will leave Yankton as soon as he is able to travel, for Rosebud agency. VACANT PUCES.
