The musical pro gramma was well rendered, one of the one pleasant featares of the evening being tbe appearanoe of Mrs. Wagoner, whioh wee her first introduction in Yankton's musical entertainments. General Beadle was at the Sioux Oity bridge opening yesterday and says it was rather a quiet affair, though it looks well on paper. Many of the offioers of the Northwestern road were there, but none of the other roads were officially represented. Bat Sioux City has the bridge and that's the main thing. Tbe Bigns whioh thicksn about ns in dioate the ooming of the Manitoba road to Yankton as early next year us the grading oan be done. edging from sur faoe indications something, has happened to hasten plans for tbe construction of this extension. That's the way it looks to the man who dots the railroad guess ing for this paper. Sioux Oity parties state that Presi dent Hill has positively declined to run his road to that point and will not talk business with them any more, for the reason that his mind is made up and it is a waste of time. The disposition therefore is in Sioux Oity oiroles to lay for Hill—to ambush him, as it were, and do him np—make him sorry, It wont work. The great continental diagonal from the end of the lakes to the gulf of California is going to oroBB the Missouri rmr at Yankton. This is not a region that makes a specialty of wheat, yet there is some of tbat product raised hereabouts. The estimate is that in the region tributary to Yankton 200,000 bushels of prime wheat was harvested last fall. Of this the Exoelsior mill has taken 40,000 and about 20,000 bushels has been shipped to Chicago. These figures show that there is about 140,000 bushels yet In the hands of tbe farmers, and they are in no haste about selling.

Text Discourse* From at the Con grpgfit lonn I Las* evening Mr. Tomlin oieeoh d, taking his tt-xt fn Matt. 25:10- "And while they were tn bnv, the bridrgtoom oumf, old tbey tbat were ready went io with him to the merriujre, and tbe door was shot." I confess that to me tvsn a thonght of this subject is ot the tvost solamo otaraoter. I cannot tead the 25th chapter of Matties without anxiety The great thought ol tbe jadRme'-it is clearly brought to mind. Oontiast these words with the loving words with which Jason began his ministry. He seems to be Btera -r and sterner, bat had be failed to arouse men to the danger of failing to use the talents given, be would not have boon a perfeot Bavioar. His warnings exhibit his love as mnoh as his dying for as. Christ oomes with warnings— with tbe sslemn thought of tho judg ment, when we maat stand belore Him and eaob one give an asoount of himself to Qod. God says: "It is appointed nnto man onoe to die and after death the judg ment." As we go ont of this world, as death leaves us, judgment will find us. The thought of jadgment oaght to fill oar hearts with seriouaneBB. Man's su preme business should be to seek first the kingdom of Qod and his righteous ness: to seek to glorify G-id and to en joy him forever. The great business of life is to get ready for death, for when death oomes there is no furtLer oppor tunity. The Rreat and important thought ib to get ready. They that were ready went in and tbe door was shot. In all his dealings with men there are two olassca, the wise and the foolish. We are either for Christ or for the devil. There is no separate class for the moral ist. Christ said,''He that is not with mo is against me." We are either on one side or tbe other. On whioh side are you? Each for himself will either bear the welaome, "Come ye blessed of my Father," or "Depart ye oursed, 1 never knew you." "Will you start to get ready lor the kingdom Will you seek God's kingdom to-night lieligion will fit yoa for life and for death. I exhort you to give him your heart to-night. A FAMOUS BOOK. Mrs. Mary A. Llvcrmorc'a Story of the War and Her Experiences. In this new and superbly illustrated work, tbe world-famous Mary A. Liver more narrates her personal work and ex periences as a hospital and field nurse daring the war of the rebellion. We do not know when 700 pages bave given us more genuine pleasure. Mrs. Livermore spent four years as a nuree in hospitals, camps, at the front, and on the battle field, and these fonr years were paoked with'pathop, glory, and sacrifice proba bly never paralleled in the life of any other womtD. Har narrative presents a vivid inner pioture of the womanly side of tbe war, more especially of her own work and ythrilling experiences, with many pathetic and humorous moidents portraying the lights and shadows ot life. We regard Jthis splendid book as a wholly uulqae work, for it presents the womanly, or what may very apropriate ly be termed the heavenly side of the war, and th'a has never heretofore been written. It lifts the oartain, and sh ws how beroio and devoted and blessed her work was. It is fall of the deepest patbos, the richest humor, the most touching tales, the most etirring anec dotes and inoidentp, and through the whole runs tbe story of the adventures and striking experiences of its illustrious author. Stranger stories are -here told than romance ever dreamed of, every one of them drawn from real life by a woman's hand. But the illostratiant An able oritio recently said: "This is tbe most nobly embellished work ever published in Amerioa." We endorse this opinion. There are splendid steel plate portraits of famous nurses of union soldiers, and many plates illustrating hospital scenes and thrilling inoidents in a woman's army life. No newspaper description can do these oostly plates jastioe, They mast be seen to be appreciated. There are also splendid tao simile plates of fa mous old battle fitga, from photographs and paintings made from the original flags, printed in sixteen colors from one hundred and twenty-eight engraved stones. Tbey show all the oolors, tints, blood stains, rents, shot holes, and spliutered Btaffs, exaotly ss they appear in the original flag. As we look at them it is hard to believe that tbe real flags are not before cs Even tbe lettering and inscriptions are perfectly reproduced in gold. The story of eaoh flag is told, with pathetio incidents attending the death of oolor bearers who died under their folds. This grand volume has no competitor, and we do not believe it oan bave a rival. If we speak warmly ot tbe book, it is beoause it riohly deserves it. It is sold only by agents, and is meeting with an enormous sale. Agents who lntrodaoe a woik of snob sterling merit ought to be oordially weloomed. Mrs. E. E. Feel has seoui'ed the local agenoy for this book and will oall npon the people of Yankton with a sample oopy and take their orders. Booths' extra seleot oysters at BAKEB & ERSKINE'S.

The council oommittee and some gentle men from the Commercial olob measured the ttoor space in Germama hall and found tbat tables coold be set for 300 and then leave plenty of room to get around, besides a row of seats around the ball. E. A.
