Ihe Electric Light Company's Artesian well.
The above cut was engraved from q photograph taken q few
hours after the well was completed. It conveys a good idea of tbs
and also of the other great we'll which supplies Yankn
with an abundance of the best water for all purposes.
I'll is believed that in these wells, which can be easily secured N
comparatively light cost, Yankton has a resource that will build up
here q great Manufacturing centre. Already are there Indications
growth in her Manufacturing interests, and the signs are propitioul
for the future.
1t is further believed that the location Of Yankton in the midst
ct the most fertile and most healthful section of the great Northwesi
must build up here some of the leading Educational Institutions Of
the country. Already a grand start has been made in this direction
and Yankton College is rapidly going to the front. Our public schools
among the very best and are attracting wide spread interest. In
the growth OF Manufacturing and increase Of educational institutions
Yankton is bound to make a prosperous and healthful growth.

An Extraordinary Suicide.

The suicide in the Rue la Guerre
bears the marks of a genius. In u
room whose windows were all closed,
a headless body was found upon rude
guillotine. A note held in one hand OF
the dead man said it was useless to at
tempt to discover his identity, for he lad
made arrangements which would pre-
vent the head from ever being found.
Sure enough the body lay headless in
a closed room and the head could no.
where be found The man was buried
as one unknown and the case babe fair
to grow dusty in the pigeon-holes Of
the curator of mysteries. A few days
after this event peasant in depart
ment distant some two hundred miles
away was attracted by a peculiar
object in the branches of a tree. I'M
PEELED by curiosity he examined more
closely. and found q human head at
tached by a cord to a small silken
balloon. He reported the affair to the
nearest sergeant Of gendarmerie. and
mystery No. was given due promin-
ence. By combination of the two
mysteries it became clear how the
suicide disposed Of the head, which,
being restored. served to identify him.
But how the balloon, with the head at.
tached. escaped from a closed room

THE CAUSE OF IT.

Tie Origin Of the Trouble on the MAXWELL
Land (rant-An Original Claim Of $4,000
Acres Expanded to I, so. 900 Ae res-ToO
Much Elasticity to suit the settlers.
DENVER, Col, Aug. 27-The trouble at
the Maxwell land grant has been brewing
ever since the Supreme Court OF tho
United States confirmed the title to the
grant. The grant was originally made by
the Mexican Government to beauoian
and Miranda, two Mexicans, who were
given two square leagues or $1,000 acres
of land, providing that they would culti-
vate the same. The boundaries OF the
grant now contain 1,7jO.0OO acres. The
manner in which the grant grew to its
present proportions is one OF the
causes Of the trouble. The set.
tiers living within the boundaries OF
the grant charged that the original
property was enlarged by fraudulent
means. The highest tribunal in the
Land Department has held, however,
that there was no fraud, and refused to
set aside the patent granted by Congress.
Hundreds of settlers have improved
homes and lived there SO many years that
they considered themselves rightfully IN
possession. and look upon the threatened
eiectment as an Outi age. Soon after the
decision Of the court, the grant people
proposed to purchase the settlers i'm :
provements and stock ut the
market price. after which they
were to vacate or they would sell
them the land at reasonable figures.
Many settlers accepted the proposition,
and sold out or purchased land at a price
from 81 so to $40 an acre. The grant CONF
pany claim to treat the settlers Justly,
but charges have been made that in many
instances settlers have been asked to pay
exorbitant prices for premises upon
which they have been living for many
years. The settlers are now up IN arms,
being led to it by the incendiary talk OF
evil.disposed persons. They ars under
the impression that they are fighting for
| their homes and families.

Startling Growth OF the Deadly Habit
Among American Women.

Startling Growth OF the Deadly Habit
1 Among American Women.
Every now and then occurs a death
that shocks the gay world and in its
revelations astounds the sober one. It
may be that OF the rich married belle
gone over to sip the sweets of a Lon
don season. Her wit and her beauty
dazzle the diners at great house and
they sit at the table until late. The
next morning the spirituelle American
is found dead in her easy chair. She
is still in dinner dress, and one little
white hand grasps a vial that has held
''cnly a harmless sleeping potion"
1t is not long since one Of the bright
est and most daring spirits in the re-
volving circle at the capita; put her
self into an everlasting sleep. She
had danced every figure Of a long CO
tillon, and came home covered with as
many decorations as foreign Gen.
eral. With unconscious sarcasm she
gave orders not to be disturbed until
che rang her bell.
The bell was never rung, and the
morning sun shOne in upon the face OF
q dead girl whose fingers had not re-
Taxed their hold on the insidiOus
choral bottle.
The average woman no longer con-
sents to endure suffering. From the
twinge of toothache to the worst OF
agonies her cry is: "Give me some
thing to ease my pain" Doctors
know, and recognize with alarm, that
to preach patience, endurance and
courage is in vain. He who is most
liberal in the dispensation of soothing
draughts and sleeping pOtions is on
the shortest road to popularity. AS
to the women who become their own
dispensers, they are playing with life
and death. Those who escape the lat
ter succeed, as a rule, in making the
former hideous to their friends and
destructive to their own bodies, braini
and beauty.-N. Y. Press.
