The Aberdeen News, republican, but
disgusted with the one state speculative
inquity of the democracy, finds ii i'm
possible to swallow Bill Springer entire.
lt says this:
That Mr. Springer has whims is known
to his friends and to his enemies alike
That some OF them are nonsensioal is
apparent. The News has no apology to
offer for either Mr.. Springer or some OF
his narrow ideas. neither does it care to
condescend to the plane oc-
cnpied by some Dakota
newspapers which taxa pleasure
by abusing the Illinois congressman
simply because there is difference of
opinion as TO what should be done for
Dakota. 1t is, however, strongly op-
posed to some OF his views and it be.
lleves that there is not what is termed q
zone state man" in Dakota who will en-.
dorse them.
Yet the committee sent by the Aber-
deem one state gathering endorses
Springer and all his acts which have
bearing upon Dakota affairs, The con.
vension at Aberdeen endorsed him and
his views with enthusiasm. The News,
If it stays with the one state movement, !,
will have to endorse him. The move
ment ia Bill Springer,s movement; in
stigated by him and carried out by his
servants.

A Crazy hams Erssk.

Norwich, Conn.,, Jan. 2e-D. P. Coon,
an old time wealthy merchans of this
city, recently became insane on account
of business troubles, and his eccentric
movements have to be watched. At Z
O'Clock on Sunday evening, when the
mercury was degrees below zero, Mr.,
Coon, in full street dress, went down
the we'll in his back yard. It ,s thirty.
FIVE feet deep, and there is five feet oil
water in it, lie was soon missed, and
the neighborhood was aronsed. People
searched the streets and the door yards,
and called his name loudly, Some men
~.nt 10 the we'll. leaned ovaF its curb
and shouted down the dark shaft, but no
reply and no sound was heard. Finally
Mrs. Coon, who had strange conviction
that her husband was in the we'll, went
to the curb and ASKED:
"Mr. Coon, are you down the wellf"
why. yes replied the merchant
eoolly IN o tone of mild surprise that
indicated his opinion that ii was the
most natural thing in the world that q
with the mercury below zero. Neighbors
reeied the bucket down to Mr.. Coon
who had been standing IN water that
reached to his shoIders for thirty min
utes and he caught hold OF it and was
drawn up. There was not scratch on
him, and it is mystery how he goi
down the we'll so expertly and safely
Later in the evening Mr.. Coon became
lucid. He explained that he didn't re-
ply to peighbors at the well Because
they were trying to catch him. HI
laughed heartily at his plight in ths
we'll and said to his attendant. !.
