EXCITEMENT AT YAHKTON. The Orderi to Move to Sioux Falls (heated by the Yankton Company With Cheeri. Yankton, May 2. (Special to the Ar gus-Leader.) When the official notice from Adjutant General Humphrey was read to Company Saturday night at the Armory by Major Coxhead, which told them they would be ordered to move today, the boys nearly went wild with delight, the cheers, the waving of arms and stamping of guns proclaimed only too clearly the relief which this word brought them. For the past three or four dayse the fear has been prevalent in the ranks that they would be compelled to wait here for some time to come, and when this assurance came, that but a few hours would elaixse until they were on the rad to the rendezvous, they were most pro nounced in their appreciation.

The company expects to move to Sioux Falls with 120 men. Some lew are aware they will not pass the examina tions, but the majority are hopeful, if not confident, that they will pass, and if they cannot go with Company will help to fill out a less fully recruited Company from elsewhere. The boys have been drilled hard during the past week, but have never-the-less enjoyed themselves much while here. Hard work stares them in the face from now on, as a certainty, farther than this it is impossible to see, and yet each one that leaves Yankton will go prepared to fight and, if necessary, die in upholding the honor of their country. Saturday afternoon occurred the field day sports at Yankton, between the athletes of Doane College, Crete and Yankton College, resulting in an almost complete victory for the Yankton College boys.

In the 100, 220, 440 and 880 yard dashes, Yankton won first and second in each event. Mile race, Doane first, Yankton second. 120 yard hurdle, Yankton first and second. 220 yard hurdle, Yankton first, Doane second. Hammer throw, Yankton first and second.

Shot put, Yankton first, Doane second. Pole vault, Doane first, Yankton second. High jump, Yankton first and second Running broad jump, Yankton first and second. Running hop, skip and jump, Yankton first and second. The Yankton boys had an idea prior to the trial, that they would have hard work before them, not knowing the capabilities of the Doan boys, but the results showed plainly that the Doanes were out-classed in each event but two, these being the mile, long dstance race, and pole vault, in both of which her men are prize winners.

Wednesday, May 4th is the day set for a meeting of the executive committee of the state board of agriculture in Yankton, consisting of President F. M. Byrne of Marinda, C. N. Harris of Ab erdeen and John Armstrong of De Smet, for the purpose of ascertaining the probabilities of holding a fair this year, and if it is decided to proceed, preliminary arrangements for the same will be made.

E. G. Edgerton of this city has tendered his resignation as a member of the state board of agricul ture, and insists that the same be ac cepted. In its subtlety. It lies hidden for years in the ambush of the blood, and when it strikes it voids its venom alike on strength and beauty, disfiguring the one and undermining the other.

Sarsaparilla is a specific for scrofula in its worst and most malignant forms. Scrofula is a blood disease. Ayert Sarsaparilla is a blood purifying medicine. Mineral medicines only drive scrofula below the surface. Dr.

J. Ayer's Sarsaparilla is a vegetable remedy and it eradicates the disease. There is no remedy for scrofula equal to Ayer's Sarsaparilla. "I was cured of a long-standing case of crofula by Dr. J.

C. Ayer'e Sarsaparilla. The disease first manifested itself when I was a child, by breaking out in red Motchea all orer my body. I was not free from the trouble until I took several bottles of Ayer's Sarsaparilla. That effected a permanent cure.

Mas. EL E. Sntdeb, Leh- The Citizens Turn Out la Mass to Wel come Colonel Origsby Ha Makes a Speech. It was noised about this morning that Col. Melvin Grigsby would surely each this city on the noon Milwaukee.

When that train arrived at the depot it was met by 0 concourse of people that numbered something over 1,000. Stout's band was also there as was also a troop of cavalry which is ready to join Col. Grigsby 's regiment. When the train pulled into the sta tion the train struck up a patriotic air and the citizens exercised their voices in good shape. When Col.

Grigsby put in a nappearance he was greeted with deafening cheers. He was finally led to a carriage in which was seated ex- Mayor Porter P. Peck. Mayor A. II.

Stites and Mayor-elect B. II. Lien, and by the way this rig das driven by would-be Mayor George W. Burnslde. The parade headed up the street with stout's band in front followed by the carriage containing Col.

Grigsby and the others named. Then came a car riage containing D. L. McKinney, president of the Business Men's League, Hon. H.

H. Keith. M. L. Fox of the Press and L.

E. Cavalier of the Argus-Leader. Behind these came a drum corps and several hundred citizens on foot. From the depot to the Cataract house the streets were lined with people who cheered Col. Grigsby and his followers.

At the corner of Ninth street and Phillips avenue a platform had been erect ed for the speakers. Mayor Stites Introduced II. H. Keith to make the ad dress of welcome which he did in a few well chosen remarks which were re ceived with cheers. During Mr.

Keith's remarks two of Mr. Grigsby's little children walked up on the plat form and were taken into the arms of the colonel and given a hearty kiss. While this was going on Mrs. Grigsby stood on the steps of the May block on the north side of Tenth street taking in the demonstration but not with a face that would denote hilarity. Mrs Grigsby evidently realizes that her husband has not embarked on a pleas ure trip.

At the close of Mr. Keith's remarks Col. Grigsby was called upon for a speech and replied with the following Fellow Citizens: You have not taken me by surprise in providing this re ception. I do not consider that any thing I have done has been the moving cause. This whole natio nls ablaze with glorious patriotism.

Patriotism is up, and politics is down. I sa wan account of the way Sioux Falls celebrated the declaration of war. No other city so far as I know excelled Sioux Falls In that direction It made me feel more than ever proud of the people among whom I have lived half my life. South Dakota has reason to rejoice over the fact that she will furnish, pop ulation consdered, a larger share of the first call for volunteers than any other state in the union. The regular quota from South Dako ta is seven companies of infantry am authorized to raise a full regiment twelve troops of cavalry.

One-half or more of these if suitable men can be secured will go from South Dakota. That you may fully appreciate this honor should know that senators and house members from almost every state in the union besieged the secre tary of war entreating that the num ber from their states be increased and none succeeded so far as I could learn I trust that every citizen of this state will poin with me heart and hand in securing for these companies men and officers, that will honor the state. In this work all political jealousies and personal animosities should be forgotten. In the selection of these men and their officers politics will not be con sidered. Let no man enlist with the Idea that he is going off on a junketing trip or a picnic excursion.

We are In the midst of war. and as Uncle Billy Sherman once so laconically expressed it "War is hell." No man can tell today whether this war will end in three months or last ten years Of one thing we can be sure. This war will not end until independence has been won for Cuba. When that is ac complished if the cruel and treacherous Spaniard does not cry "Hold, enough! then this war will go on if need be until the word Spain will be wiped off of the map of Europe. Fellow citizens there is a silver lining even to this dark loud of war.

The cry of hard times that we have heard for years will be heard no more, For every man that suffers pain upon the battlefield a dozen families will be relieved from the pangs of hunger. But more than all that, the ties that should bind us together as citizens of a com mon country under a glorious flag will be strengthened. More friendly rela tions between capital and labor will be established. A few months ago political discus sion had grown so acrimonious that men were nearly ready to fly at each other's throats. Each party cleaming that the principles of the other would destroy our republic.

Each of those po litical gladiators will now discover and be forced to admit that his party has no monopoly of true patriotism and self-sacrificing love of country. There will now be a cooling time for states men. God grant that they may discov er a Just and equitable measure be tween political extremes. Some of us may have thought that tne president had moved too slow, es pecially since the destruction of the Maine. My friends, I want to say that after being In clcse touch with the war department for two weeks, I came away with unbounded confidence both in the wisdom and the patriotism of the president and General Alger, secre tary of war.

It Is easy at this distance to make up your mind that they are too slow, and take up the cry of "on to Cuba." We should remember that we do not and cannot know all that they must consider before they decide to act. They are both veterans of the late war. I want to say without reservation that I believe neither of them is actuated by any other motive than White Dep't A TRAITOR EXECUTED New York, May 2. A special from Key West says Jose Yzelesias, who was charged with plotting to blow up the Puritan, has been executed.
