Chief Engineer Blunt Gives some
Points of Enterest-ArtesiAn Water
not suitable for Locomotive Use.
Chief Engineer Blunt arrived this
forenoon from the end of the North
western track, having walked most of
the way to keep his blood in circulation
as an antidote against the frigidity of
the forenoon. Mr.. Blunt says work was
suspended yesterday by the storm, but
thai tracklaying s-vigorously in prog
ress to-day and will be continued right
along in spite of the freeze up. He
says the grade is ia smooth n and can
be worked in cold weather. At
the Jim river bridge piles are yet to be
driven for eight of the thirty bents
which makes up that structure. The
track will probably reach the Jim be-
fore the bridge is completed, but the
delay there will be brief. A steam pile
driver IS now at work on the line,
strengthening the bridges already pass
ed by the track, and this can be used at
the Jim as soon as the track reaches
that point. Mr.. Blunt feels
that his work on this
extension is nearly completed and he re-
marks with some earnestness that the
track would have been IN here by the
18th of November but for the delay occa-
stoned by the grading contractor. This,
he says, would have given him time to
put things in good shape for business
before the winter closed in upon us. To-
days weather encourages him, however.
1t looks as though we might have a
spell Of moderation.
An analysis of the water from the
Raymond house artesian we'll convinces
Mr.. Blunt that artesian water is not
suitable for locomotive use. The chem
ical test shows that each gallon of the
water contains thirty grains Of incrusta-
ting matter, which renders it unfit for
steam producing uses. The company
will not sink an artesian we'll at its
Ysnkton round house. For present use
a tank will be erected at the Jim. A
supply of some kind of water will be
provided later at the found house.

SemI-Local Clippings.

Pierre Journal: Eugene Cutting, who
has acted as transfer agent of the Chi
cage and Northwestern railroad at this
point for five years, goes out with 3
record OF which he may feel proud.
During the last five years he has hand
led every pound of Black Hills, govern
ment and city freight received at this
point, and never lost O single package.
He is a thorough freight man and the
Northwestern Railroad company parts
with him at this point only on account
of the freight going by the way of Chad
ron.
Pierre Free Press: To-day Eugene
Cutting and Clarence Bartlett severed
their connection with the railroad COM
pany. For a number of years both of
these gentlemen have been in the en-
ploy of the company. Mr.. Cutting was
in the freight and Mr.. Bart
lett in the passenger department.
Both of the boys have al
ways given satisfaction, but a change in
some of the departments makes it neces'
sary to change employees. and these are
the worthy heads to fall into the basket.
Mr.. Cutting will remain in the city and
will engage in business. Mr.. Bartlett
will visit friends in the east until spring
after which he will return and become q
permanent resident.

The csntsr of Populatisn.
lAtlantn Constitution.l

The New York Hsvald has fallen into the common error that the centea oi population is moving westward. On the contrary, 1t is moving vest by southwest, steadily toward the Mississippi, steadily toward the gulf The center of popula- ton was on southern soil in I7oo. It is there to-day. During the war decade, from 1860 to 1870. it moved northwest ward, but this has been the only excep- ton. It must be recollected, too, that the south has sent hundreds of thousands to the west and northwest, but even with this drain such states as Arkansaw and Texas within the last five years have equaled and surpassed in growth of pop ulation such states as Minnesota. Old and well-settled states like Virginia, the Carolinas and Georgia, show a rapid in crease. Even without immigration the south would hold her population because her families are so much larger and more prolific,

Impressions During a Battle.
lExchange.l f

A recent writer thus speaks of his ex
 perience and feelings in a battle "lt i: always fashionable to give first impres
 sions. Shall l give you mine9 shal
 assume an affirm ative without affordins time for rebuff. First was dispelled the lifelong illusion that battles were the or derly moves of game of chess. Cam. paigns may be likened, as l have heard them, to the manipulation of that game
 but battles are made up of Series of ex. periments, more or less protracted, ac. cording to the ingenuity of the com. mander, and the expertness of his officers and men. The results of the faro bank can be calculated with as much accuracy as the results of battlefield. It is the veriest chance-the victory, as in all games, of course, inclining to those wh o are most cool, and therefore the most likely to perceive advantages. Second, 1 have overrated the dangers of battle. Here for five hours we have exchanged cannon balls, bullets, bayonet thrusts and sabre strokes, and literally there is mo- body hurt, the loss in killed or wounded on our side being about one in two hun dred of those engaged. These are my impressions. Are they not the counter part of all first experiences on the battle
 field! A friend asks me the feeling of a non-combatant under fire. Were you ever caught in the open 6eld when a thunderstorm was raging2 If you have been, and had no special fear, you have nevertheless entertained an opinion that possibly lightning might strike where you were standing. For the three-quarters of an hour that was under ire, as a non-combatant, there was almost a con. tinuous thunder of artillery. could re- alize no special danger, but only an ill., dehned thought that possibly some of those flying missiles might come over where l stood in the way. On compar- ing views with the others situated like myself, encountering the same opportu- mites and with similar purposes, I find they had the same sensations, so that l may fairly assume that the mass of men under fire have little or no thought for personal consequences, and that coward. ice is not normal characteristic of the human race.

Living on $r,ooo a Year.

The Philadelphia Press has a discus. sion on its hands touching the possibility of living on ST 900 year This is what one of its correspondents says:
 Let us be more honest in this matter The truth is, more people live on ST COG per year than on s 900; but a man who keeps two or three servants and spends Ss day on such trifes as cigars, soda water and car fares, cannot conceive oi such living. The truth is, too, that such men do infinite harm. They tell young men, "No man should marry on less than $2 500 year," and then pay them S2o per week say fearlessly that be- lieve rich people do not begin to know the pleasure that those of moderate means experience. How many loving wives are beginning now to plan and con trive for some surprise next Christmas Will not that present-gained by walk ing, instead of riding, saving ten cents from this thing and quarter from that give far more pleasure than the slippers or dressing-gown Mrs. Economicus will buy for her husband in December? l fear, though, that the most practical part of my article has been lost sight of in this discussion as to means. The way of living is what tried to show-how wife did her own work and yet kept we'll and strong. l find each year that more young people are learning how to mauage with. out servants. The leakage with servants is incredible unless you test the matter for yourself, and, .as Mrs Richards found a way ot doing her work well and comfort ably, l had great hopes that others would profit by her experience. Let us remem. Der that no two families will be economi- cal in the same way. The first question is. do you live within your income2 The next is, do you get as much out of your income as is possible2 This last ques- tion has an ever-varying answer, and it is the different answers we find to this problem that give charm to living on ST 900 year.

A TRICK OF FATE.

"There, my dear, read that. Ben Gu, 1t out of some magazine. He though, you would like it. Affinity of soul, and all that sort of thing. There's a fellow thinks as you do."
 Natalie Bronson looked up with a smile aud her elder sister threw a scrap of pa. per in her lap. The former read the three short verses upon it slowly through and then reread them.
 "Well 2" queried her sister, who had been christened Mary, but who among her intimates rejoiced in the title of Pussy and now turned laughing glance away from the mirror, where she was putting on very becoming bonnet prior to going out with the Ben aforesaid, who was none other than her husband elect.
 They're charming lines :" said N atalie then, meeting her sisters quizzical eyes, she laughed, too.
 " There is another life long to meet.
 Without which life my life is incomplete; Oh, sweeter self art thou, like me, astray-' or something-lnev can quote. They're very much in that style, eh?"
