An extra train over the Dakota South ern yesterday brought up a number of railroad dignitaries and took down the Kendall troupe and a few other passen gers. The first regiment will leave the sev eral posts at which it is stationed next week, and leave for Texas. The 26th, whioh is to take its place, will arrive about the same time. The Kendall combination closed its season in Yankton on Saturday night with the play of Rip Van Winkle, which was very satisfactorily presented to a large audience. The company-left yes terday to fill an engagement at Le Mars. Andrew Miller, who returned from his Lake Zolicoffer form, at Morindahl, re ports crops looking very promising. There has been an abundance of rain in that section. Sunday morning's rain was very heavy through a large portion of the country .northeast of Yankton. The Sioux City & Pacific anF*Chicago & Northwestern railroads will sell tickets from Sioux City to Milwaukee and re turn to parties who attend the soldier's reunion of June 7th, for $18.20. These tickets will be sold from the 2d to the 7th of June and will be good until June 12th. L. W. Jordan was driving a spirited team of horses up Third street Saturday evening, as the Kendall band was blow ing for a crowd for the theatre. The horses didn't like the music and lit out like a streak of chain lightning, but Jor dan held on to the reins, kept the team in the street and cooled their ardor by gmding them up the bluff at the head of Third street. No damage done. The Ponca Indians have brought suit in the court of this district against the Sioux Indians for the purpose of recov ering the land included in the old Ponca reservation opposite the mouth of Cho teau creek. The papers in the case were this morning served on Spotted Tail and Red Cloud, as the representatives of the Sioux, by Deputy U. S. Marshal Ed mundfl. James Armstrong, a gentleman of color, was arrested Saturday evening by Marshal Reinhardt on the complaint of John Campbell, charging him with dis turbing the peace by threatening to fight and by the use of profane and obscene language. This morning upon arraing ment and trial before Justice Davis, Armstrong was adjudged guilty and fined one dollar and costs, the whole bill amounting to $11.75. He paid up and was discharged. Ponca Courier: Cedar county voted against the proposed aid to. the Sioux City & St. Paul railroad last Saturday and consequently will get no road. This we understand! will not deter the build ing of the road from Covington to Ponca, and, as our connection with Omaha is assured, our railroad facilities will not suffer much in consequence of the failure of the extension. Ponca will remain the terminus for at least two years to come. The people of Cedar county are making advances to the Sioux City & St. Paul railroad to submit the question of voting aid to the road to the county at large confident that her people, now that it is a settled fact that the -company will not build the road till the bonds are voted, will give them the desired bonds. The government, through the war de partment, will immediately lay a tele graphic cable across the Missouri river at Fort Bennett, thus connecting the line from Yankton to Fort Sully and that from Fort Bennett to the Black Hills. Lieut. Grimes and a party of men to do the work came down to Bennett on the steamer Butte, and it is expected that the cable will be laid and the wires from the present lines placed in connection with it in a few days. This is important to Yankton, as it will give us short, quick and cheap communication with the Black Hills. Mr. Carr, of the signal service, has charge of the telegraph office at Sully, pending the recovery of the oper ator, Mr. Cary, of whose mishap mention was made in last Friday's issue. This morning at the residence of M. H. Jenkinson, the bride's father, C. H. Cameron, of the surveyor general's office, and Miss Sarah Jenkinson were united in the bonds of matrimony, the ceremony being solmenized by Rev. W. H. Jewell. Thus another of Yankton's worthy young men and most estimable young ladies have joined the army of double bles sedness. Miss Jenkinson has grown from youth to womanhood in Yankton, and is very highly esteemed by a large circle of acquaintances, who join in the heartiest wishes for her future happiness, The newly wedded couple left on the train this morning on a bridal tour,which will extend to Milwaukee and elsewhere, and will occupy a couple of weeks. The Press and Dakotaian joins heartily In the general chorus, long life and uninterupt ed happiiHM to Mr. and Mrs. Cameron. A -h 4, There will be a special meeting of St. John's lodge, A. F. & A. M., to-morrow (Tuesday) work in the third degree. We have information that* severe cyolone struck Omaha yesterday evening and did j&qjrserious damage, but we are without particulars as the telegraph lines were broken down, destroying all oom munication. It is reported that one man was killed, and a vast amount of property destroyed. A glorious rain came down upon this seotion yesterday morning, giving the ground a thorough soaking, and sending vegetation heavenward with a rush. The rain extended as for west as Springfield and probably farther. The indications this afternoon are favorable for more rain, and everything portends a bonnti ful crop. The cutting away of the banks near the mouth of the'RIiine has endangered the bridge across that stream so that it is regardedtansafe to run trains aoross it. The outgoing train this morning re ceived its passengers at the shops, and this will remain the stopping point until the track is changed to the grounds re cently purchased by the oompany east of the Rhine and near the foot of Seventh street. Late Saturday night Marshal Rein hardt and Policeman Conway arrested Bessie Kingman, the keeper of a house of ill-fame on the Levee, Harry Helms, an inmate of the house, and Carrie Bank son, better known as "Wiggie," on the charge of aiding John W. Maxwell to es cape from the county jail and secreting him for several days after his escape. The parties were lodged in the county jail, and this afternoon at two o'clock were taken before Justice Davis for pre liminary examination, but one of the principal witnesses for the prosecution being absent the hearing was postponed until one o'clock to-morrow afternoon and the prisoners remanded to jail. We will present the facts as developed in the trial to our readers to-morrow evening, William Walpole, who has a grading contract on the extension of the Sioux Falls & Worthington railroad, arrived in Yankton yesterday and started back to his work this morning. He informs us that this company has recently located forty-three miles of road from the west branch of the Vermillion river in Mc Cook county in a northwesterly direction through Miner county, and that the work of grading it will be pushed forward with all possible dispatch. It is evidently the intention of this company to form a con nection with the Northwestern at or a short distance west of Huron. The Southern Minnesota have a corps of en gineers in the field working in a south westerly direction from Flondreau, but their objective point is, of course, un known. Mr. Walpole informed us that about ten days ago a party of well equipped railroad engineers passed where he was at work on the west branch of the Vermillion river, surveying a line in a southerly direction. They refused to tell the name of the company they were working for, or anything about what they had done or intended to do. $50. FOR SALE. $50.

Between John I. Blair and the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul Company for the Control of the Slonx City andjDakota Lines. The hearing of the application made by John I. Blair for an injunction to re srtrain the Milwaukee]company^rom op erating the lines of the Sioux City and Dakota railroad and a motion to set aside the lease made to the Milwaukee compa ny by C. G. Wicker was commenced be fore Judge Shannon this forenoon. Mr. Blair is here in person and is represented by an able array of lawyes, those from abroad being E. C. and W. C. Lamed of Chicago, Gamble Brothers, of this city, being the local attorneys in the case. The Milwaukee company is repre sented by General Manager Merrill and Walker of Chicago, the company's attorney, W. L. Joy and R. J. Chase of Sioux City and Tripp & Boyles of Yank ton. The holders of the bonds of the old Dakota Southern oompany are repre sented by R. B. Roberts of Chicago and Alex. Hughes of Elk Point. The case was opened this forenoon by the Blair party withdrawing for the pres ent the application for a receiver, and a stipulation entered into for the continu ance of the agreement restraining the Milwaukee company from negotiating any of the stock of the corporation pend ing the litigation. This afternoon the attorneys for Mr. Blair have a motion before the court to allow an amendment to the bill so as to bring in other parties to the suit. This had not been deoided at the hour of going to press. If it is granted then it is probable that the fur ther hearing of the case will be postponed until the November term of court. In an interview with John I. Blair, this afternoon, he stated that he oould obtain possession of his Dakota lines in twenty-four hours if he would give the Milwaukee folks an agreement not to extend the Yankton branch beyond Yankton. He says the only object the Milwaukee company had in taking a lease of the road was to prevent such an extension. He will not agree tp any such arrangement, because he desires to push the road up the valley of the James. Even under present cir cumstances Mr. Blair says he will pay one-half the cost of an extension, provid the out *d the Milwaukee company will pay other half, the winning party to buy the defeated party when the suit is deci ded. Mr. Blair has perfect confidence in his ultimate success and consents to per mit the road to remain in the hands of the Milwaukee company pending litiga tion, because it will be better for the road, than to have it under the managemet of a receiver.

BIG INDIANS. A Delegation of Sioux Chiefs, en Bonte to Washington and Carlisle, Arrive by the Steamer Butte and Spend the Sabbath in Yankton. The steamer Butte which arrived here at daylight yesterday morning, brought down a delegation of about thirty Sioux Indians, some of whom are on their way to Carlisle, Pa., to see their pappooses who are at school there, while the bal ance are going to Washington to sign an agreement to give the right of way for railroads across their reservation from the Missouri river to the Black Hills. It is not probable that those who go to Carlisle are actuated by affection for their offspring, or that those who go to Washington could not as well have signed the agreement at home, but the trip is made to satisfy a desire for a free ride, good living and the enjoyment of homage paid them by their admirers in the east. The party consist ed of the following chiefs and head men: Son of the Star, Poor Wolf, Peter Beauchamp and John Smith from Fort Berthold Two Bears, Big Head, John Grass, Thunder Hawk and Louis Primeau from Standing Bock Charger and Bull Eagle from Cheyenne river agenoy Brother to All and James Bowed-Head from Crow Creek Spotted Tail, Two Strike, Iron Wing, White Thunder,.

Old Strike the Ree, head chief of the Yankton Indians, and who formerly with his band occupicd the ground upon which Yankton is built, was one of the party of Washington bound chiefs. The old man has grown very feeble, is nearly blind, and canuot move around without assistance. "Old Strike," as he iB familiarly called, is as good a specimen of liis race, mentally, as can be found in the entire Dako ta nation. He is intelligent and conser vative in his views, lias always been a true and consistent friond of tlio whites, and always seconded the efforts of tho agents to better the condition of his peo ple. But his race is nearly run, and ho will soon be called hence to roam through the realms of tho "liappy hunting groftaids." THE OPERA HOUSE LICENSE. An Impending Irrepressible Conflict be tween the Municipal Powern that He and the Proprietors of tlio Broadway Opera Houne. Last Saturday afternoon Charles Wam bole, of the firm of Wambole & Campbell, proprietors of the Broadway opera house, paid into the city treasury and received the receipt of the treasurer therefiir, the sum of $37.50 for six months license of his hall for theatrical purposes. The treasurer's receipt was presented to the city clerk, E. P. Stone, who, in accord ance with the ordinance in such case made and provided, made out a license and attached his official signaturo there to. The license was then presented to Mayor Sanborn for his signature but he refused to sign it, and wrote an official order to Treasurer Schandien directing him to return to Wambole & Campbell the amount they had paid into the treas ury for such license. The treasurer, having received the money in regular form and given his official receipt there for, was in doubt in regard to the power of the mayor to order the disbursement of money regularly in the treasury with, out the concurrent action of the council, and upon consulting legal authority was advised that the money could only be paid out by him in pursuance of the foims provided by ordinance. Accord ingly the treasurer, in an official note to the mayor, presented this view of the case, and the money remains in the treasury. Wambole & Campbell, we are informed, intend to apply for a manda mus to compel the mayor to sign the li oense. And thus the matter stands at present. The following is the provision of the city ordinance relating to the licensing of places of amusement: It shall be unlawful for any person or jersons to open, conduct, or manage any heatre, concert, circus, or any other ex hibition, show, or amusement of the kind, or character herein mentioned, for pay, at any point within this city, without having a license for so doing Provided, that exhibitions, shows, or amusements, had or held in any licensed hall or build ing, shall require no license And pro vided further, that no license shall be 'equired for musical parties, or concerts, jxhibitions of paintings or statuary nor for lectures and literaryj entertainments given or made by citizens of this city. Upon the application therefor, of any person having the receipt of the city reasurer, showing payment of the re quired amount, for what purpose and for what length of time, the mayor shall ac cordingly issue to such person the de sired license for any of the pur poses herein mentioned licenses for any circus, menagerie or exhibition of wild animals, must also state the place of performance or exhibition every li cense must have the seal of the city and must be attested by the city clerk and registered in the license register the erson or persons licensed or having a icense shall be required to keep and maintain good order in and about his place of exhibition or amusement and conduct the same in a decent, decorous, and proper manner." THE HIVEIt. Jobn I. Blair will leave to-morrow morning for the scene of hia Nebraska railroad operations. The steamer Niobrara with a load of Pierre freight arrived from Sioux Ci^y last evening, and this morning resumed her up river journey. The Baby Mine had steam up yester day and was paddling around in the river opposite the ferry landing. The banks near the mouth of the Bhine continue to tumble into the river, and the railroad track in that vicinity is getting dangerously close to the crumb ling banks. The steamer Butte, of the Powers line, from Benton, arrived at five o'clock yes terday morning, and left in the afternoon for Sioux City, where she will take on a load of Montana freight. NOTICE.
