The Fargo Insurance company has
adjusted and liquidated some $4,000 Of
losses during the year 1885. On it's hail
insurance business its adlusters in the
field made their returns from eighteen
to twenty-five bushels to the acre, sub
ject to the approval of the board of di-
rectors. AT their meeting the final ad
justment reduced the amount less than
twenty-five per cent, and the paid losses
average on the hail business about six
teen bushels of wheat to the acre. 1t
is said that the production of wheat on
the lveragein the territory was less
than fifteen bushels to the acre, and
this would look as though the Fargo
Insurance company had been exceeding
ly fair in its settlement with policy
holders. The officers have gone on in Il
quiet yet effective way, and have met
the disasters OF the seasons work as be-
fitting men who have gone into the
business with the determination to full
fiji their obligations. They have made
no special effort to attract attention,
and in Il quiet and business like manner
have met the demands of their patrons
without Il murmur. The company does
not pretend that it did not lose money
1 on the hail business during the year
1855, but having hquidated all ciainls
against it feels that in retiring from
| that branch of the insurance business
it has right to expect credit for meet
ing It's obligations honorably and fairly
and now the Fargo proposes to push IL
legitimate fire insurance, and asks of
4 the public Il far share OF patronage.
/ Fargo people should bear in mind that
this company has from twenty-five to
thirty people in its employ, the major
portion of whom have families, resi-
dents Of the city. who are consumers OF
what the business men have to sell
AS a home institution the Fargo In.
surance company should be encour.

The Randall Well.
CLAIMED TO BE THE GREATEST ARTEs-
IAN WELL YET DISCOVERED
IN DAKOTA.
Springfield Times.

Mr.. z. Richey, the contractor for bor-
ing an artesian well at Fort Randall,
arrived down from the Fort Sunday
afternoon, having concluded thr job
and struck, lis he claims, the greatest
flow Of water yet discovered in the state.
In answer to question Mr. Richey
said he would not except the great Aber
deen we'll wheI he says that the Ran
dali well is the greatest in the west.
Accurate measurement Of the volume
OF water has not yet been made, but a
careful estimate places the flow ut from
300 to 500 gallons per minute and the
pressure 200 pounds per square inch.
So great is the force that the tubing
which weighs several thousand pounds,
will have to be anchored down or it
will be blown out should an attempt
be made to put IL cap on the pipe and
contlne the water. The well is 6l0 feet
deep. the bottom being IN decomposed
or porous rock-called by well men
water-bearing rock. Mr.. Richey
would like to have gone through this
rock as Il matter Of inqnisitiveness. but
the force of the water coming up was
so great us TO overcome the weight
/ QSOO pounds) of the steel drill and rods
with which the well is bored, and conse-
| quently he could go no further. The
drill with which this well was bored
works on the same principle as pile
driver; the power used is simply toraise
! it, an | the drilling is done by its own
weight in the fail. 1t is fastened or
/ the end of an inch-and-;l-half rope, anC
! steam engine Is used to raise it. AS
. stated before this drill, rods, etc.
weighed 1900 pounds, and the force o1
the water can be imagined when i
overcame this great weight and stop
ped the drill from sinking further
The water is said to be of most excl
lent quantity. Mr.. Richey thinks tha
4 il he had gone about forty feet deepe
at Santee Agency than he did, TIL
same Vein of water would have beel
struck. We must have such IL well il

such places most suitable or convenient
for them, the board in their Judgment
will at the end of their term intlict the
prescribed and proper punishment. 1t
in any township the distance is too

sociations held in the villages, Parker.

Canton Advocate.

And still the end is not yet in the Tur-
ner county seat troubles. Last fall
there was a spirited contest between
Parker and Hurley, in which the form
er town came out victorious. Parker
people put up certified checks to the
amount of $4,000 as Il bonus, but pay
ment was refused on the same when
they were presented ut the banks by
the commissioners last week for col
lectior. This makes the contest more
complicated than ever, and it is yet I'M
decided whether suit will be brought
against the banks for the bonus or de-
clare the election void.

The Influence of Newspapers.
From the Boston journal.

c. S. Gross, of this city, a well-known
and highly successful advertising agent
in a forthcoming work of "Information
for Advertisers" referring to the cir
culatiOn OF newspapers, says:
"The number of copies a paper prints
although an important point, is not the
only one by which tojudge its WORTH as
an advertising medium. The character
influence, and standing of the paper in
community are all equally important
factors in determining it's value as Il
medium by which to communicate with
the people OF the section in which the
paper circulates. Experience teaches
that careful editorial guidance and sup
erlative care given to statements in the
news columns of a paper. as Il rule,
renders it's advertising columns much
more valuable than paper reckless in
its assertions, and lavish in its indorse
mcnts of anything and everything I'M
der the sun.
The "intluence" of newspaper, COM
mercially considered, Is as the influence
| of an individual. A man careless of
his statements is not considered good
authority or Il reliable source of infor-
nation; so a newspaper with its edito-
rial opinions at the beck and call of any
| one with bank account of sufficient
dimensions soon loses its weight with
readers who quickly discover It's unre-
| liability and are careless even of state
umns-the advertising is then, about
equally valuable as SO many hlnd-bills.
The same rule applies to papers de-
pending upon sales effected through
making Il speciality of low sensations:
such papers are bought to gratify Curl
osity, are culled for their particular at
traction. then thrown away. and Il re.
liable newspaper is consulted for the
news of the day, and the opinions OF
the latter are respected. This respect is
to IL certain extent extended to the ad
vertlsing columns, ard subtil but in
tluentiaJ Endorsement is by the journals
character given TO statements ever
though known to be paid for and il
the advertising department. For in
stance, a complimentary notice in ;
newspaper of known reliability ant
| careful Of its assertions. as ali adver
tisers well know, is worth more thar
| the filppant statements of one whos'
praise is unlimited and whose unquali
fed editorial Endorsement of anybody

One word from the columns of th
, former will weigh Il ton in thescales o
$ public Judgment, where asimiar state

Turner county is In trouble over the

seat there. The bonus offered by par

taken on new shape. Last fall Par
ker offered $4,000 for the location of
the county seat, and the money was de-
posted III two of her banks. When the
county commissioners called for the
money it wasn't there, and there will
be I'm attempt made to set aside the re-

are badly stirred up because of their in
ability to obtain the $4,000 bonus Of
feted by Parker as an inducement to

The citizens of Parker deposited Sl0,-
600 in the banks of Parker, to be given
as a bonus for the erection of county
buildings in Parker provided 1t should
become the county seat. The county
commissioners of Turner county have
made Il formal demand upon the banks
for the money. The banks claim that
the money has been withdrawn, and
it is probable that the matter will have
to be settled in the courts.
