LINCOLN , May 24. ( Special. ) Governor
Poynter today gent a dispatch to the War
department at Washington requesting that
arrangement * be made to have the remains
of Colonel John M , Slotscnburg lie In state
for a short period In tills city , In order that
memorial services may bo hold , It Is not
known whether Mrs , Stotscnburg , who Is
returning to her former homo In New Al
bany , Ind. , with the remains of her husband ,
wishes to stop In Lincoln , and the request
of the governor Is made conditional on her
wishes , The dispatch follows :
"Rusnell A. Alger , Washington : If con
sistent with arrangements of the War de
partment and wishes of Mrs. Stolscnburg ,
Nebraska requests that the body of Colonel
StotEcnburg llo In state In Lincoln for me
morial services and that we bo accorded
the privilege of sending n. military escort
with the remains to their last resting place. "
The people of this city are very anxious
to have the request of the governor allowed
and as Colonel Slolnanburg had so many
friends In the city , It Is thought probable
that Mrs. Stotsonburg will consent to stop
In the city for at feast a few hours.
The members of the Board of Public
Lands and Buildings have decided to In
spect no more prospective governor's man
sions for a few days , and this action has
led people to believe that one ot the houses
visited yesterday meals the requirements of
the board. About half the houses offered
were visited by the board , this number In
cluding all that have been considered at all
favorable from the first. On account of the
convenient location , It Is thought that cer
tain members of the board favor purchasing
the Thompson residence , which. Is perhaps
the only house offered facing tbo state capj-
tel building.

YANKTON , S. D. , Mny 24. ( Special. )
Once more the iconic ot this vicinity are
encouraged to believe that the Illinois Cen
tral railroad Is nlmlnc to extend Its line
to this city , on ui > the Missouri river to a
point In Charles Mix county , thcro cros *
the r'vor and enter the Black Hills caun-
try , from Lemars , la. That life Central's
line points this way there can bo no doubt.
Ynnkton'lles nearly duo west of the gen
eral direction of that line through Iowa.
At Lemars the Central makes an abrupt
departure from Its woalorn course and turns
almost south to Sioux City , had It continued
west In tlio day of Its bulldlnc Ynnktou
would have been touched. Humors , and
some of them apparently comlnc from roi
llablo railroad authority , have been nu-
morons the last two months , all Intimating
that the extension from Lemurs to Yankton
was only a question of but n short time.
Nearly thirty years ago the Yankton busi
ness men set energetically to work to sn-
cure n , railroad. At that time the Illinois
Central was running to Lemars. The Da
kota Southern Railway company was organ
ized hero and under Its charter the road was
built from Ynnkton to a point on the Big
Sioux river anywhora between the old Ills
Sioux bridge and some fifteen miles north
of It. That end of the line was Intended
for Lemars , but fearful that the co-opera-
tlon of the Central would fall , the charter
\vas so worded as to allow a connection
with n Sioux City line. Committees wcro
sent to Chicago to Interview the Central
people and others , but very slight encour
agement was met with , however , although
ihe Central people said they had Yankton
on their way. It Is generally known thai
the upshot of the enterprise was the build
ing of the Dakota Southern by a construc
tion company , Wicker , Meckllng & Co. ,
who built It for the money there was In It ,
and who built It to Sioux City for several
good business reasons at that time ; they
finally sold out to the Chicago & Milwaukee ,
the present owners. The original plan of
the promoters who Incorporated the old
Dakota Southern was to build to Lemars.
Had this been accomplished In that day
there Is no question but that Yankton and
all surrounding territory would have boon
vastly bettor off than It Is today. If the
Central people finally determine to take
advantage of the situation as It stands , no
one can deny that It will bo greatly to their
Interest. Shipping that la being done from
South Dakota , this section especially , goes
by the way of Sioux City , whereas , If the
Central came through a great deal of this
business would bo diverted to Chicago , and
this business , to say nothing of that which
would bo acquired by the opening of ter
ritory that Is practically uncovered by rail
road facilities , Is an Item that would not
be laughed at by any road.
Soldier' * Hcrolnm.
Recent letters received from the Philip
pines tell of the heroism of John Holman ,
Company C , the Yankton company , who for
bravery In action was given the promotion
from the ranks to second lieutenant of Com
pany C. On the 26th day of March , beforn
Marllao , the First South Dakota regiment
found the Insurgents Intrenche * along the
river across the railroad. The river was too
wldo to ford and the natives were on the
other side under cover and pouring lead
fnto pur ranks. Cfolonel Frost thought It
unsafe to cross the 'bridge ' with the troops.
At the moment of the arrival of Company
C boys the rebels had sot fire to the bridge
at their end. Adjutant Lien called atten
tion to the flro ana some one yeiiea , "Lci
thclbrldgo go to b 1. " "No , " replied Lien ,
"we need the bridge. "
"I will go over and put out the flre , "
cried Holman , and made n dash across the
long bridge. Ho was deaf to the universal
cry of "Come iback , " got safely over before
the flre had made much headway and suc
ceeded In extinguishing it. Then coolly turnIng -
Ing around Tie opened flre upon the enemy ,
who was but a few yards away and In plain
sight. The regiment , Inspired by Holman's
example , then dashed ncros the bridge and
the natives were soon put to flight. Noth
ing especially was said of the affair and
when his commission was tendered him It
took him completely by surprise. His pro
motion Is a gratification to his friends here.
He left a prosperous business , being a suc
cessful young lawyer , postponed his mar
riage to a young -woman of this place and ,
asking no preferment , enlisted as a private.
William Fahrenwald , whose death from
d > sentcry was reported In last night's Asso
ciated Press dispatches from the Philip
pines , was a Yankton man. He was well
and favorably known hero. Two years ago
he took the civil service examination and
soon after was appointed as substitute mall
carrier here , -which position he held at the
tlmo of bin enlistment. Ho leaves o widow
and three small children.
The population of the state will bo ma
terially Increased during tills year. In this
Immediate vicinity the gain Is not notlcea-
'ble , but north and west new settlers are
pouring In. Douglas county anil the old
Yankton reserve In Charles Mix county are
rapidly gaining. Hutchlnson Is also secur
ing a large number of desirable ( settlors.
It Is common In that county to sell a $5,000
farm. These trpnactlons nro frequent be
tween new settlers , who have plenty ot
money , and the old settler , who wants the
cneh to take with him Into a newer sec
tion like McPherson county , where ho can
got land for $ D an acre and begin anew.
Turner county Is also building rapidly.
Farmers generally are giving more atten
tion to forest and fruit tree culture this
year. Thousands of small orchards am
being planted and groves of ornamental and
shade trees nro being added to farms. While
thq season Is very late the favorable char
acter of the weather since the growing * sea
son has largely made up for the spring's
tardiness.
