NATURAL Gas REFLECTIONS.
Fancy, Facts and Figures About the Ash

ton Discovery.
AsHroN, Feb. 2S.ISpeeial The dis
covery Of natural gas at Ashton is attract
ing great attention throughout central
Dakota. Its significance is generally
recognized, but in some quarters doubts
are entertained as to the genuineness and
permanent value of the find. A visit to
Ashton Is the best means Of settling the
question. A man who can sit a whole
day beside the pleasant natural gas fire at
the Bowman House, see, the gas turned
off and on at pleasure, 60 to the pipe at
the well and see the flames mount up
when the pipe is detached and a match
applied, and then question the import
ance Of a discovery Of which the small
half clogged pipe gives but a bare sug
gestion is a born pessimist. He should
be condemned to live all his life In a
land where fire building and ash dump
ing would burden his latest days.
If two or three monographs could
have been employed to catch the opin-
ions and comments of the citizens Of
Ashton. their wives, the farmers and
their wives, who saw for the first time
natural gas burning in an ordinary stove,
the reproduction of opinions and conn
ments would make a volume 6f-rare in
terest and humor. The veins expressed
vary in many points, but coincide in this
that the discovery marks an era in the
history Of central Dakota.
The News was in great demand here
today. Its enterprise In publishing a full
account Of yesterdays practical test was
fully appreciated, and the papers disap-
peared rapidly under the frequent calls
for "a copy. of the NEWS" The evening
mail will carry many scores of the papers
to all parts Of the country.
The flow today was constant and even.
At times the Office of the Bowman House
was really TO warm for comfort though
no bricks or other devices were used to
ahold'' and radiate the heat. The full
power of the well would have heated the
stove red hot, or, perhaps, to the melting
point. Pipes are being laid TO the Ack-
ley House, and several merchants talk of
putting in gas. III the weather is favora-
bic tomorrow the well will be cleaned,
and perhaps sunk several feet deeper.
The people of Ashton propose to know
how much coal essence there Is In their
subterranean bins.
The following extract from the log Of a
we'll known artesian contractor gives the
approximate number of feet of each
strata found in drilling the wells at Aber-
deem, Ashton, Ipswich, Groton, and An
dover and furnish much ground for spec
ulation:

A farmers complacent smile is respon
sibIe for these deep seated gastronomic
lines:
Anything like an accurate estimate Of
the fuel and light capacity Of the Ashton
we'll is asyet impossible, but this Is about
the way citizens, given 70 lingering
make IL: The great well at Findlay,
Ohio, with 4 force Of $50 pounds to tie
Square inch, discharges 100000 cubic
feet Of gas every t~wenty-four hours. The
Ashton well with its pressure Of twenty
pounds would discharge during the same
period 1900 feet An ordinary gas Jet is
said to consume six feet of gas per hour.
A this rafn4tha we'll should now sunnly
Ats gnr annMhnar- on 495 for q
hours. Allowing six jets TO each store,
the present gas product Is thought sufti-
eient to run so stores continuously. Deep
er boring will doubtless produce figures
even more warm and comfortable.
Al large man sat In an easy chair,
While Youth paint his careW0rn bairi
The keen Winds whistled loud abont
But no heed gave he to their angry rcnt.
BY Ashton fair upon the Jgmas-
Like London burgheT by the Thames,
On 5at this sturdy man content,
The fire you see cost not a cent.

ANrAGoNlzINa rARMERs.

The Herald. DissSRiRasor of Sunday had
a poetIcal eifnsion on the ta,iif, Ia which
there Is faint plea for the farmer and his
interests This pretence of the Herald
that It stands for the farmers interests Is
daily becoming exploded. The farmers
are opening their eyes to the fact that the
man or newspaper that reslsts every effort
TO remove taxation from their shoulders Is
not,nor In the nature of things can be,thelr
friend. The Herald resists all attempts to
reduce taxation, except internal revenue,
and attempts TO make men believe that to
make them prosperous and happy they
must be taxed heavily That paper,in con-
sequence otits political afiiliation with the
Chicago platform can no more claim to
promote the interests of farmers and agri-
culturists than the wolf in the fable protect
ing the lamb,eating and devouring Il. The
DEMocRAT can see no reason why the
farmers should rot receive the same con-
sideration in the legislation OF the country
that other classes receive. Asan example:
The DEMOCRAT heartily endorses the pro-
vision in the Mills bill putting jute and jute
sacks on the free list. Why Because
jute is not raised in this country, ard very
nearly al the sacks used by our farmers
are manufactured Ia Calcutta. So that the
heavy duty of 40 per cent ad valorem, (that
is to say $40 on every $Ioo worth import
ed) Is a direct tax upon the farmer without
any excuse whatever. The tax Is not
needed by the government and there is
little or no labor TO protect. This tax viii
amount to between $2sooo and $4,000 on
the farmers of Linn county alone this year.
The DEMOCRAT would remove this tax and
retain the tax on whisky. The Herald in
obedience 10 It's platform says before II
would give up any part of this protection
on sacks,it would repeal the entire internal
revenue tax--that Is the tax on tobacco
whisky and oleomargarine. Which Is tho
friend of the farmer Let the farmer think
and answer. The DEMOCRAT would reduce
the duty on the twinc which farmers use
so extensively Ia harvesting from IS 10 =:
per cent, while the Herald says "no,beforc
we would consent to give up any part o
the protection on twine We would take the
tax from whisky, tobacco and oleoinarga
rae" The DEMocRAr would remove tn,
duty from salt, lumber, timber, hewed ol
sawed, stages of wood, pickets and Palings
laths, shingles, clapboards and dozens o
other articles which are essential TO tbs
farmer and upon which there Is no neces
sity of duty either for protection or rev
enue. The Herald would do none Of these
things so unmistakably in the interest o
the farmer, hut would give them free whis
ky, tobacco and bogus butter. Could there
be any doubt as to which is the friend o
the farmer None whatever. The Dem
OcRAT makes ne Pretense of being the spe
cial organ of the farmer or any other Slas
of people, but would promote the interest
of the great masses-the greatest good 4
the greatest number being IFS motto, but ]
would do better part for farmers than t'
give them free whisky and highly taxe'
necescaries of life.

man says, in relation to Mr.. T. o. Norton's
statement that he was present when Harri-
son was initiated into the Know Nothing
lodge, that Mr.. Morton does not speak the
truth; that Harrison never was a member
of that society. The writer says the denial
is not made on Mr.. Harrison's statement
but on the word of others, Of course inter
ested. Mr.. Norton reiterates his statement
that Harrison was a member Of the Know
Nothings, and they both belonged to the
same Vidette.

A remarkabIe illustration Of the trar

A remarkable illustration of the transfor-
nation of parties which is now in progress
has just been furnished in Illinois. In wei
coming a delegation of visitors from that
State last week, Gen. Harrison said 81
recall that ii was on the soil OF Illinois that
Loyejoy died "A martyrto free speech"
This week nephew of the Lovejoy to
whom Gen. Harrison referred, son OF
another Lovejoy who was an equally earn
est abolitionist, who has been nominated for
Congress by the Democrats of his district.
The free-whisky policy has driven him
from the party to which his father belong
ed when i stood for free speech.
