An artesian well at Columbia, Dakota,
was completed last week, the flow of
water being reached at depth of 965
feet. A pressure of 125 pounds to the
square inch was shown at once, and a
steady increase is shown. 1t promises
to be the best well in the James valley
A man went into the patent Office last
week who seemed very anxious to zee
Judge Montgomery, the commissioner.
His face and manner we're extremely
solemn, and he said his business WAS OF
the most important character. Upon
quizzing him q little it was learned that
he had discovered that the cradle of lib
erty was out Of order and he had come
to mend it. He was sent to the lunatic
asylum.
Wayne, Neb, Gazette, 81: 1t would
seem as though the Omaha Northern rail-
road has shared the fate of q dozen other
similar schemes, and all ended in talk.
This is Sioux City's opportunity, and it
ought immediately to build the long
talked-of bridge and open up q way to
this country and thus show its larger
but less enterprising neighbor city a
sample Of genuine western enterprise.
We still trust that some railroad will
come through Wayne and open up the
country north of here. We have no fear
OF too much railroad in this vicinity.
An account is published of che who
recently encountered Capt. Howgate on
the great Kanawha and Ohio river
packet Boone. Capt. Howgate spoke
with some freedom of his personal
matters. His escape and wanderinas
had been carefully chronicled in a diary.
The story is romantic and includes thou
sands Of miles of travel by land and
water. He must have travelled the
greater part of the time, although he
lived for some months in aquiet SUBJ
urban town near New York city and at
another period was settled in southwest
Missouri, where he was engaged in some
mineral occupation, which turned out
unfortunately. This diary shows vol
luminous notes of California, Oregon.
Washington territory, Texas and
Mexico. Howgate said he was tired of
wandering. He wanted his case settled
in some way soon. There is little doubt
that if he were assured of %leniency and a
speedy trial he would beYwiliing to sur
render and take the chances of q light
punishment. His total defalcation
amounted TO about $4,000. His
Washington property. which has lately
been attached was found to be greatly
!. encumbered.

imous approval as to assure the leaders that
their efforts would be heartily supported.
Over a month ago the Trades and Labor
assembly appointed committee of nine to
look over the field and lay out plan OF
political action. Nothing had been said as
yet about parties. The committee went at
work and thoroughly canvaSsed the situa-
ton. Before the nomination was made for
mayor by either party no open move was
made, but with Rice and Merriam In the
field it did not take long to choose which OF
them was the candidate for the working
man to support. The records and char
acter OF the Republican and Democratic
parties were also thoroughly scrutiniZed,
with reference to questions pertaining to
working men. 1t also TRANSFERRED that the
Democratic party was willing to recognize
the labor element as political factor by
nominating an alderman from its ranks III
the Second district of the Fifth ward
THIS DECIDED THE QUESTION,
and on Tuesday night the committee made
a unanimous report in favor of supporting
the Democratic ticket, with one unimpor-
tant exception. The meeting was one open
to all union men, and was well attended.
The committees report was received with
great favor and adopted unanimously. linus
is settled an important question. The COM
mittee was composed of men who have the
confidence of all the union men III the city
They carefully digested their plans and
came to their conclusion after thorough
scrutiny of all the considerations involved.
The labOring men recognize the importance
of this matter, and how necessary it is for
them to stand solidly together in this crisis,
in order tomake ashowing of their strength.
The exception above referred to is in
favor of Mr.. A. D. Robinson, the candidate
of the Republican party for constable Of the
lower district, the president of the Mould
ers' union, and its delegate to the Trades
and Labor assembly.

j. f. Gable has applied for patent on
a device for making barrels. He is conf
dent it will reduce the cost of barre-mak-
ing and will prove valuable.
Frank Wagner of the North Star shop has
sold his membership to George Thompson.
John Hughes succeeds II. Allen as mon
itor Of the Stevens shop.
The shops all did good business last week.
The mills are running steadily and the de-
mand for barrels is great
Seven journeymen coopers lost all their
tools without any insurance, in the Mime
sofa shop fire.
j. NJ. Smith, foreman of the Stevens
shop, has returned from trip into Wiscon-
sin, where he went in quest of hoop poles.
No definite progress has been made look
ing to an adjustment of the difficulty which
hangs over the cOopers. No contracts have
been made and the 1st of May draws steadily
near. If these contracts be made all will be
smooth, but if not trouble may arise There
has been some talk of advancing the price
OF barrel making to IS cents; but nothing in
that direction was done.
During the past week there has been
more or less talk among the shops OF prop
Osition to consolidate all shops into one, to
be operated on the cooperative plan. But
itmeetS with but little favor.
The Sixth street shop is being made eight
feet wider to accommodate the new
machinery which is soon to arrive from
Rochester, \. Y.
The Improvements at the North Star
shops are about completed and the machin
cry will be started in about three weeks.
AT the Northwestern shops portion of
the new machinery has been put in.
Charles Nee. Reeve, manager of the
Hall q Dam shops, has refused to enter
into contract for the ensuing year and the
effect will be to force the barrel companies
into competition, which means that the
price will come down to 10 cents before the
year is out.
