YANkT0N WATER WORKS.

Superintendent Campbel's Arrange.
ments for Utilizing Ii Artesian
Well Flow Nearly Completed-A
Practical Plan Followed out,
The Press and Dakotaian, itself in
error. gave to the public yesterday a
wrong impression relative to the plan
adopted by Superintendent Campbsll
and the water works committee for d.
verting a portion of the artesian well
supply to public uses. 1t stated that
the plan was to rsduc g
the flow from the well to conform
to the demands of u The
arrangement, instead, il to divide the
flow, turning into the reservoirs as much
as is needed and permitting the BALANCE
to run off into the Rhine. This was
accomplished to-day and the divided
waters are pursuing their separate
courses.
Superintendent Campbell provided
himself with a set of water gate valves
three IN number, each OF which is at
tached to q six inch arm of pipe con-
nected with the main pipe from the we'll.
This gives three outlets from the well.
Two branches from the parent stem are
carried to the tops of the two reservoirs.
Through each of these branches water
can be turned into the reservoirs by
opening the gate valves. A third pipe
is extended horizontally from the we'll
pipe a distance of about ten feet. This
is the waste pipe. The gate valve in the
latter pipe regulates the supply to be
carried into the reservoirs through the
branch pipes. By partially closing this
gate, water is lifted into theI reservoirs in
the quantity needed, while the surplus
flows off through the waste pipe, By
this arrangement the reservoir supply is
regulated to a nicely, while the flow from
the we'll remains unimpeded.
The intention is to use only the branch
supply pipe running into the south
reservoir, there being q connecting pipe
between the two reservoirs. The addi-
tional pipe carried to the top of the
north reservoir is designed for use only
in case the south tank is rendered
useless by some accident. All
the elbows and valves are now in place
and the well is forcing its volume
through the separate Of outlet
provided by the skill of the super
intendent. His accomplishment proves
the wisdom of his plan and the well flow
is now under perfect control without
any impediment to its flow.
In testing the new attachments it is
found that the we'll flow will fill three
six inch discharge pipes with solid
streams of water and will lift two Of
them forty feet (and probably muct
higher above the surface, while the
third discharges a few feet above tho
surface. The new water works are now
In operation and SUI can use al.

A AD-spicable Transaction.

Last evening about 5 o'clock, as E. H. Dunbar, the senior publisher of the News was entering business house on Rail- road avenue circulating yesterdays issue of the News, J. c. Albright, the editor of the Democrat, stepped up behind him and struck him heavy blow on the head with stout cane. The blow completely stunned Dunbar, who turned and at tempted to close with his cowardly as- sailant, but being rendered giddy with the blow he had received his foot slipped and he fell to the ground completely helpless. Even on the ground he could not escape his merciless pursuer, who with the most vindictive spite continued to rain blows on his prostrate body until the bystanders interferred and took him off. Upon being helped to his feet Dun bar was taken to Dr. Wroth's office, where it was found that he had received five terrible cuts on the head, one of which was at least two inches long and bleeding profusely. His friends took him home in hack, where it is feared he will be confined for some time.- Albuquerque Journal.

IA Good SuOke.o

Where the cigars came from is un- known. They were dark in hue and of vast proportions-at least one inch in diameter. Five of these the mysterious passenger on New York ferry boat had firmly lashed together with bit of tape so as to cause convergence of the lighted ends and a correspond ing divergence of the ignited portions. All these were alight, and by dint of that muscular effort known to vocal ists as the ore rotundo, the performer was enabled to achieve the hitherto un- classified feat of smoking all five of the cigars at one and the same time. Pos- sessing himself on deck chair which had been precipitately vacated by 8 cigarette smoker on his approach. he seated himself near the quarter rail and soon became the center of an ave- stricken circle of observers. He treat ed with silent contempt the inquiries of the scientifically curious and the chaff of the irreverent, and all the while cloud of smoke arose from his lips as from smoldering volcano, and drifted down to leeward, mingling with similar clouds discharged from the smokestacks of incoming steamers. The captain of the boat came aft and stood at the edge of the hurricane deck, and looked on with manifest apprehen- sion. The deck hands stood uneasily around in safe corners, and furtively provided themselves with such loose spars as they could lay hold of. The itinerant band of musicians, which travel back and forth on the boat, strove bravely to go through their us- ual programme, but their playing was fitful and spiritless. And still the big man smoked on. All hands breathed easier when the boat backed into her berth at Tompkinsville, and the big man arose to go ashore. When the gang-plank was thrown ashore he cast the combined ends of his cigars into the sea, which sizzled and sent up a small whiff of steam as they struck it's sur- face. Turning to the expectant crowd, he remarked: "Gentleman, that was a very good smoke" Then he went ashore and disappeared, walking a trifle unsteadily no doubt from the ef- feet of the nicotine, but still maintain ing the dignifed and decorous bearing that had marked his conduct during the

General Crook Tn his last annual report says: Agent Willcox, who represented the Interior department, told me in the fall of 1882, that he knew nothing about Indians, had no confidence in the Apaches, and asked me to take charge of them and manage them in my own way, xxx and that he would not re- main as agent unless l remained in com mand, etc." This is but another evil dence of the danger of placing untried men at San Carlos and this danger con stitutes an important reason why the people are now petitioning President Cleveland to return ex-Agent Cum to the management of Apache Indians.
