y Hastings merchant recently re-
ceived the following order: "Mr. b,

The artesian well at Letcher has been
sunk some forty feet lower to a vein Of
good pure water which flows thirty to
forty barrels a day. The Blade thinks
that now the last obstacle that has pre-
vented Letcher from occupying her APP
propriate place as a leading town of
south Dakota is now removed,
1t is morally certain that the people
of south Dakota have endorsed, lay an
overwhelming majority, the action of
the late constitutional convention.
Now then Will the immaculate COVER

The people have spoken. will the Bis

y level-headed exchange very truth
fully remarks: when business men
Of Il town fail to advertise extensively,
they diminish the temperance and trade
of a place and permit more enterprise
ing localities to take the latter from
them. Although done for their indi-
Vidual interests, advertisers should be
looked upon by citizens of the town
where they reside asin some sense pub
JIG b%enefactors, and they should be en-
co!lrageu accordingly. One merchant
who advertises extensively is worth to
his town and its people more than for
tt who never show themselvesin print.
and should be for this reason alone pre-
ferred, assuming that he is of course a
fair business man.
The case of the murder of the Ward
brothers at Devils Lake, by aparty who
looked upon them as claim-iumpers,
and which created such a sensation at
the time, is again coming to the sur
face. Sheriff jerks of Grand Forks
went to Devils Lake last week after
witnesses for the grand jury in their
case. 1t is believed by many that no
Indictment will be found in this case
us the Wards friends have not been in
strumental in pushing the matter.
Those connected with the crime We're

grand jury will have to take the mat

brought into court.
Horace Beach, United States COM
missioner of artesian wells, has writ
ten to the Huron Times a letter upon
the likelihood Of securing artesian wa
ter in Dakota. He has made an exam
ination of several sections Of the ter
ritory and isNof the opinion that the
formation is generally favorable for
such enterprises. 1t is not every sort
of region even with subterranean wa
ter, that can secure an artesian flow, as
Mr.. Beach explains: in order to Sc
cur a flow of water the movement of
subterranean waters mast be an OBJ
structed one, a sort of tiltering pres
sure, then the water VIII rise to the
surface-provided the source is at a
higher level. To Illustrate: If the
subterranean water is an underground
river with a free inflow and outflow
where the bore is made, then the water
will pass onward and not rise in the
well"
