THE WESTERN WONDER.
The BcIie.PIain Well Is still Gushing
Away aud Cannot be stopped.


BELLE PLAIN, Iowa, September 5.
The great we'll still flows. For short
time last evening it was partially shut
of. The great cone having been en-
larged to thirty-six inches was lowered
full of sand. 1t went easily for sixty
feet when it became necessary to drive
it and the l,600-pound hammer was ap-
piled to the five-inch pipe connected
with the cone. This pipe stood thirty
feet above the surface. After few
strokes had been given the flow Of
water was so much diminished that the
people began to shake hands and many
bags Of sand were thrown in to give
more weight to the cone to fill up the
aperture. The big hammer was again
applied, and after q few strokes the
pipe shot down into the vortex like a
rocket does upward. A swift gush of
water, gurgle, and the hopes Of all
we're buried out Of sight with the cone
and its connecting pipe. The sixteen
inch pipe heretofore mentioned is at the
bottom, and the belief is the cone has
gone down until it struck this. That
would leave it 100 feet from the bottom
and the upper end forty feet from the
surface. Excursion trains are to be run
here.
Speaking Of this remarkable geyser
the Providence Journal says: 1.-The
sudden flow from that Artesian we'll at
Belle Plain Of stream of water re-
naikable alike for its force aud sbund-
ance Is receiving variety Of curious
explanations that 1t would seem little
elementary knowledge of the geological
structure of the locality might correct.
The attempt to identify its cause with
the cause or causes OF the Charleston
earthquake is probably futile. OF
course, knowing as little as we do of
the interior of the earth at any great
depth, such explanation may possibly
be correct. Bot there is more obvious
and natural cause close at hand. Tbs
stratum Of rock which underliss the
Lake Superior region, Indiana, Iowa,
and illinois is known to contain q
layer Of sandstone which is completely
saturated with water. Owing to the
surface conformation, this layer 10 the
lake region is about 1900 feet above
tho sea level, but in the vicinity Of
Belle Plain 1t is not more than 900 feet
above that level. At whatever point
this vein Of water DO pierced, 1t Of
course bursts forth to . height deter.
mined by its own level ss found near
Lake Superior. A very simple expla-
ton Of the present phenomena is, there
fore. that this Artssian we'll has psns-
trated that immense bed Of saturated
sandstone. Such hypothesis accounts
for I'll the manifestations that tbs reports
describe. And in science, - indeed in
ALMOST everything, the simpler and more
obvious cause Is to DO preferred to the |
remote and fanciful.

The Washington Post of yesterday
has the following:
"Nill the earthquake affect the pre-
valent tendency towards higher and
higher buildings? In Charleston there
were few buildings above three stories
high, but in cities more northern
structures are rising TO tremendous
attitudes. The elevator has made tall
buildings not only possible and practi-
cable, but agreeable and popular, and
in New 1ork city there are now more
than fifty buildings Of ten stories. On
Seyenty.third street and Madison ave.
nue. are piles Of fats Of twelve stories
high, and at the head of Sixth avenue
on Fifty. ninth street is an enormous
block Of sristocratic tenements no less
than fourteen full stories in height on
the street. As tho seaboard cities are
now proved to lie 10 the earthquake
belt will il DO necessary to limit the
height Of buildings by law"
In these days of street railways there
is no excuse for numbering the ground
with tall buildings. New York may be
excused, seeing that she really has not
much land TO build upon; but no city
with lands stretching in every direction,
should invite disease to take up its per.
manen. residence therein. Indeed, not
only is there no necessity for eight and
tsr-story houses, but mono for small
lots and crowded tensments. In the
ideal city Of the future, every dwelling.

DURHAM, N. c., September Ga
most remarkable accident occurred in
Mangum Township, twelve miles north
of Durham, on Saturday night last
about 10 o'clock. Maynard Mangum,
hearing some dogs fighting, fred pistol
at random in the darkness. He missed
the dogs, but the ball entered the heart
of Lee Roberts (colored), fifty.two yards
distant, killing him instantly. This
fact was shown at the coroner's inquest
to be entirely accidental, as he did not
know the negro was near.
Much dissatisfaction has been ex-
pressed at the nominees of the County
Convention held here last Saturday,
and it is rumored that an anti-Prohibi-
ton Democratic Convention will be
called at an early day.

FRANCIS H. EWERs.

Francis H Ewers, son of James g. and
a. H. Ewers, was born in Washington Co..
o., May II, 1861, and died at Vicksburg, Miss,
Sept. 16, 1886. When death invades the
family circle and take away one in the prime
of life, the loss seems greater and the trial
harder to bear. When conscious that a loved
one is nearing the portals of the tomb, it is at
least some satisfaction, some consolation to
be able to minister to the last wishes, the
wants of the dying. But when the summons
comes to one away from home, and among
strangers, the sad news comes like thunder
bolt to the aching hearts under the parent
roof. Our dear young friend was stricken
with typhoid fever, while at Vicksburg, and
quickly fell a victim to that fatal malady.
He had been at Vicksburg for nearly two
years, working at his trade as a carpenter.
He made friends wherever he went, and these,
gathering when they heard of the death of
their companion, gave him Christian burial
No poor words of mine could so eloquently
portray the power of our blessed faith to
comfort and sustain, as the pathetic language
of the bereaved mother, and which / quote
from her letter to me. She says, "Our
Heavenly Father has good people everywhere,
and he knows just where and when they are
needed. And our first and last Great Friend
is everywhere present and able to take care
of his own, and he can find his own and take
them from among the hindrances that retard
his wishes. We have bemoaned the him
ORANGES that surrounded our son. We have
felt an outreaching desire for him in his SEEM
ing isolation, for he dearly loved home and
its duties, ever ready to assist in time of need,
always ready to take the part of the weak,
and extremely generous and kind to the aged
and infrm. Then tell me has not the
Author and Finisher of all his good works
anticipated us in our wishes? And as we
were wont to extend our outstretched arms
to shield him from contact with evil and
grossness in this life, lest it mar and weigh
too heavily upon the beauty, the fneness of
( his nature that we loved so much 10 him, the
good Father has only taken him from all Thu

JESUS REAPPEARs.

In Marks Gospel xvi. 9-the paragraph
authenticity, not being found in the Oldest
manuscripts) it is declared that JESUS, when
he was risen, appeared first to Mary Magda-
lene, for whom he cast out seven demons"
She had at some time in his ministry, of
which we have no account, been healed by
JESUS of some distressing malady, thought to
have been caused by demons (evil spirits,
probably the souls of dead persons). She
was one of certain women who had been
healed of infrmities, and who journeyed with
him, and ministered unto him, contributing
of their means to his support (Luke viii. z }.
Salome, the mother of John, was also of
that number. She was of the Galilean vii
lage Magdala, aud therefore called the Mag
dalene. These women came with JESUS from
Galilee to attend the Passover. They were
present at the crucifxion, witnessed the plac-
ing of his body in Joseph's tomb, and re-
turned after the Sabbath to find it empty of
its sacred trust" They were the last at the
cross and first at the tomb. To them JESUS
first appeared:
There is no warrant whatever for identi-
flying Mary Magdalene with the woman "who
was a sinner" Luke vii. 80, or that the NAL
ady of which she was cured by JESUS was the
result of her sin, or, indeed, that she ever was
great sinner. Her associations in the gos-
pei records are against such theory of her
character.
There is no foundation whatever for the
tradition that Mary the Magdalene had been
woman of unchaste life, restored TO purity
by the Saviour. The use of the word Mag
dalen in modern language is continued
libel upon the woman who was frat at the
sepulchre. rs. S. Helper, Dec, 1875.
Never, perhaps, has Pigment so utterly
baseless obtained so wide an acceptance az
that which we connect with the name of the
penitent Magdalene. -CyelopedtG, McClia-
took aud Strong.
When Mary had informed Peter and John
that the tomb was open and the body OF
JESUS had been taken away, she returned and
stood weeping at the door of the tomb
STOPPING down and looking through her tears
into the darkness of the tomb, she is report
ed to have seen ''two angels in white, sitting
one at the head and one at the feet, where
the body of JESUS had lain" At the same
time she heard voice which she understood
to be the voice of the angels, saying, "Wo
man, why weepest thou?" She answered, BE
cause they have taken away my Master anC
know not where they have laid him." Hay
ing said this she suddenly turned back, par
