Mandan and Bismarck were visited
Sunday afternoon by a violent wind
storm which lasted for three hours and
did considerable lniscel llaneous damage.
In Mandan, the worst damage was done
to George Peoples building tnel tiilsroof
being blown off and furniture, walls. car
pets etc, being soaked with water;$ the
total amounting to about 81 500. The
Northern Pacific bank building, the new
court. house and many others buildings
we're damaged. Probably the whole will
amount to; $1,000 in Mandan: In Bis
marck, the loss is estimated at less than
$4,000. The Tribune's signal service re-
port states that the wind blew forty
eight miles an hour. July 10, 1883, it
blew ffty-six miles an hour as it did
also on April % Of the same year. On
April 18, 1876, was the hardest storm
Bismarck has probably ever experienced,
the rate at that time being seVenty-four
miles an hour. The storm Of Sunday ex-
tended far into Minnesota and altogeth-
eli did about $25, 900 worth Of damage.

Artesian Wells in Dakota,

In the construction of artesian wells
the experience Of the pioneers is Of val
ue to those who have yet to solve the
problem. The true artesian. vein is
white sand rock, which lies, at Yanktoh
600 feet below the surface. Northward
from this point the depth Of this rock
increases, and the in Alexandria neigh
borhood it probably lies not less than
100 down. To reach the artesian basin
it is necessary to pass the drill through
chalk, shale, stiff clay, iron pyritcs,
quicksand and various conglomerates,
most of the formations being difficulty
to overcome and requiring patience,
skill and experience on the part of the
we'll maker. Every foot of the distance
between the surface and the water-bear=
ing rock should be tightly cased and it
will be found that heavy salt water cas-.
ing is the most economical in the end,
though it is more expensive than the
lighter grades. Perfect casing is the
most important part Of the work. If a
portion Of the bore is neglected the arte-
sian water when reached sends a consid=
cradle portion Of its volume off through
the loose everything formations and the
defect is created which constantly in
creases in magnitude: In searching for
the true artesian vein Numerous minor
veins are generally encountered which:
produce. flowing sWells. The discharge
from these veins Is much less than from
the lower veins, and an inferior quality
Of water is given forth. So it is best to
resist the temptation tostop when toiefs
able flow is encountered ant. 60 down to-
the artesian sand fSeks, which has never
yet failed to give a spouting well. In
the city Of Yankton and in its suburbs
there are now telyew flowing wells.
These vary in depth from $50 to 600 feet.
In only the deepest Of these wus the
white sand rock vein reached, and that
one is yielding water Of the best quality
at the rate of 1900 gallons per minute.
the others have a flow of from 80 to 100
gallons per minute. Most Of the smaller
wells were made for private use and an:
sWer the purpose for which they were
constructed. But for public uses the
deepest: is the only one Of the dozen
which gives a satisfactory flow. .S. 5,.$
There is reason to believe that almost
every Dakota village, city and farm can
enjoy the luxury Of a spouting well.--[

The United States is placed in rather
embarrassing position in its present
difficulty with Mexico, To begin with,
the man Cutting, whose arrest las caus-
ed the difficulty, is such a notorious
fraud that the trouble has many Of the
elements Of farce. In the second place,
q war between the United States and
Mexico. would be such an exaggerated
case Of "big dog cat little dog" that tile
Government will probably decline to be-
gin war from very shame. The honor
of the nation is at stake, however, and it
compels her to demand satisfaction from
Mexico for an outrage on even such a
citizen as Cutting. Altogether, the af-
fair is so perplexing that it has caused
Secretary Bayard to fall into a state Of
chronic evaporation.

Two Wonderful Horses.

The wonderful two-year-old fremont
has had a remarkable career. He has
started twelve times, and has never been
forced to anything like an exertion by
the best horses that have been pitted
against him. He has won lis owners in
stakes and purses this year something
over $4,000, and will duplicate that
amount before the end Of the season.
He cost 81, 500 asa yearling. This splen-
did colt is jet black, and the only mark
on him IS q little white star in tile fore
head, about as big as a silver half dol
lar. The -youngster Seemed to be proud
of the attention shown him. and moved
about the stall, occasionally coming up
to take q nip at his masters coat sleeve; B

A Little Calculation.

TIE editor Of the Milling World has
made a computation that bushel OF
corn, which costs originally thirty cents
and is converted into seventeen quarts
Of Intoxicating drink, is ultimately so
manipulated by the admixture OF water
and more harmful substances by whole
salcrs and retailers as to represent about
eight and half gallons of ''liquid fire. "
He says, allowing sixty drinks to the
gallon, the official bar average, the bushel
of corn will furnish 27O drinks, which, at
an average of fifteen cents to the drink,
will take $40. so from the pockets of the
consumers. He adds: "Subtract the
th 'rty cents which the farmer received
for the corn, and the balance. 5000,
will show the amazing profits made by
those who do not till the soil to grow the
corn, but who multiply indefinitely by
scientific means the mi<ch.evous powers
of the grain, and who from this hurtful
multiplication reap easy, large, and rella-
BILE profits. The original price of the
bushcl of corn is contained 155 times in
the Ultimate receipts from it. :" This COM
putation gives some conception of the
great alcoholic drink-wastc. The con-
sumers pay h avy tribute indeed to the
whisky manipulators.

For number of years past there has
been steady flow of 10000 to $4,000
Scand.navians into this country. The
great bulk Of them settle in the North
western States. Minnesota, especially,
swarms with Norsemen. The census of
1880 shows that there were then 1S1, 729
Norwegians, 1914, 337 Swedes, and Ga, 1O6
Danes in the United States-a total of
44O.1Ts. Since then-six years ago
fully quarter of a million has been
added to these figures by emigration,
and Dakota has attracted not far from
1000 of them. In few years Dakota
will be as full of scandinavians as Min
nesota, if the present rush continues.
They are also beginning to flow into
Montana and Idaha, Oregon and Wash
inoton.
