The election of Mr.. e. f. Harmston
to the position of Chief Engineer Of
the H. G. & B.-H. Ry. is fitting rec
ognition OF his worth. practically
a self made man. He is a fine mathe-
matician and receivedhis engineering
education in tie field. We are salts
fed that the company will get salts
factory maps and profiles of the line
from Huron to Chamberlain.
The True Republican says of the
II. c. & B.-H. Ry: Of course all hands
are ready to assist any genuine move
ment tending to induce railroads to
run through this county; but it looks
to many very much like boys play to
expend money for survey to berun by
amateur engineers.
''Come off, The chief is a man of
experience and ability, then besides
II. a. West, the Republicans candidate
for county surveyor last fall and the
man who bossed 60 the job. when he
was the writer's rodman on construction
work in Wisconsin, in 1887, will be in
the party. Amateurs, ha! ha! How
much money will they squander that
comes from the Republicans till?
A visit to the seminary on Monday,
showed everything progressing in
workman like manner and with mark
ed progress. The carpenters will have
the outside work done ere this week
closes. The Tightening lather, Chas.
Hall, has commenced driving nails,
ard the plasterers will begin work at
once. The brick work is completed to
the hight of the first story. The first
floor above the basement is to be the
chapel room; with two recitation
rooms of IL feet in width off the north
end. These are connected with the
chapel by folding doors so that in an
emergency the entire floor, 40x80 can
he made available for an audience.
This will make one of the largest audi
ence rooms anywhere in South Dakota
outside Of the large towns. The truss
partitions in the rooms above answers
a twofold purpose; that Of supporting
the floor over the chapel and giving
strength to the building. Mr.. Marie
nee tells us that during the windy
days of last week that there was
scarcely tremor to. be felt, even on
the roof o.: the building. There are
two of these truss partitions running
each way through the building. They
are built with rods and braces similar
in construction to one side of II truss
bridge. These trusses are Of great
value in resisting lateral pressure,
and will give the building q 1irmness
and stability that could be secured IN
no other way. The second floor will be
used for music room, library, and liv-
ing rooms. The third will be used
for sleeping rooms exclusively. There
seems 20 be not foot of wasted
space except on the third floor in the
angle of the Mansard roof. AT q srl-
fling expense this space conld be made
into closets for each sleeping room
and thus utilize all that is under ROOT.

the $4,000 and $4,000 public build

building will be filled with students
this year. Let every reader OF the

Artesian Wells.

The question of the deepest we'll in
America is not an easy one to answer.
The data in regard to this matter are, to
say the least, somewhat mixed. So
far as we know, the well bored by Mr..
George Westinghouse in the yard of his
Pittsburgh residence is the deepest one
which has been put down. At the time
of its abandonment it had reached a
depth of 1850 feet. These may not be
the exact figures, but are quite near.
1t was bored for the purpose of obtain
ing gas. IL was abandoned owing to
the fact that some of the tools became
fast at the bottom and could not be re-
moved.
The artesian well was named after q
province in France (Artois), where they
have been for long time in use. The
name is now often incorrectly applied
to any bored we'll 1t should, strictly
speaking, be used only of those wells
where the water is raised above the
ground, or above the local water-bear-
ing strata, by pressure obtained from a
distant elevated source. For example,
the famous we'll at Grenelle. near Paris,
flowed at the rate of $50 gallons of
water per minute, at height of 80
feet above the ground. It's temperature
is 80 deg. Fair. The well is l. 79S feet
deep.
A well at Pesth yields 175, 900 gal
Ions of water per day 1t is 3, 100 feet
deep. The water is hot, 16l deg. Fair.
1t rises 80 feet above the surface.
In Algeria artesian wells have proved
to be an immense blessing to the coun-
try. Their number must now be nearly
80. 1t is said that they yield 600, 600
gallons of water per hour. The first
one that was sunk flowed at the rate
of trife over 1000 gallons per min
ute. Temperature of the water, rs
deg. Fair.
Usually the multiplication of wells
in any one section decreases the press
ure and the height at which the water
is delivered Thus when the well at
Passy was finished the flow of water
from the Grenelle well, two miles dis
tant, was diminished from 135 TO 100
gallons per minute. The Passy well
for time reached 3, 800, 900 gallons per
day.
The deepest European well is in Ger
many, some twenty-five miles from
Berlin. 1t is 4,170 feet deep. The
Algerian wells are quite shallow, one
being but 300 feet deep.-MechanicaL

and by taking proper interest III the
general welfare.
In educating our children, in show
ing them the difference between good
and evil, in intoxicating true Christian
principles in their hearts, in teaching
them to "love God above all things
and our neighbors as ourselves" we
perform nothing more than our duty.
The love, honor, respect and submis-
sion shown by children to their parents
is exactly that which they are in duty
bound to do.
The soldier that becomes deliverer
of his country simply performs his
duty; had he neglected to do so he
would have sinned most grievously; in
deed, he might not be censured for it
by the world, but when the opportu-
nifty offered itself, had he not taken
advantage of it, he would have vio-
lated his trust and be morally guilty of
treason.
And so it is with everything else, in
religion, in business, in politics, in sci
ence, we require a principle. to work on,
for without it we are ship without q
rudder, an army without general, a
being without an aim.
The only one principle to guard and
guide us is to do our duty in all things,
and, having done so through life, we
may expect to hear at the end something
like well done, thou good and faithful
servant

The girl Ridgely thrilled wildly.
To whom could the wretch Aylmer
refer save Grace Dayton?

Aylmer's companion tapped the
hogshead as he spoke
I'll take it out and load basket
with part of it. The rest You send on
later, if safe"
Aylmer's companion left the apart
ment. The detective thrilled wildly
as Aylmer himself, taking up mallet,
began to knock off the hoops of the
hogshead.
The detective was In doubt as to how
to act. As the top boards were lifted
off, however, he sprang erect.
Leveling a revolver straight at the
head of the dumfounded smuggler,
he exclaimed, sharply:
"Percival Aylmerl you are my pris'
oner! A move, cry, an effort TO dis
obey me, or escape, and l will kill

that detectives were on his trail, tho
very day of Ridgely's appearance,
Aylmer had drugged and placed her in
the basket, to be thus secretly conveyed
to Villavosa and new captivity.
The gloom over n beloved parents

and devoted love gave TO Grace Day

"And Freedom shrieked when Kosci-

journeying toward his next commercial
goal.
mo wonder she shrieked," said a

A Pen Portrait OF Boulanger.

When / entered he was sitting at
long table covered with books and pa
pers, but he Immediately arose, came
forward with a pleasant "bon jour"
and hearty grasp of the hand, and
led me TO seat. 1t was the first time
L had seen him, and / observed with
some surprise that he was not in the
least like the published portraits that
are to be seen in every part of Paris
He has nothing of the dapper look of
the photographs and engravings. His
hair is not dark and nicely combed as
you see it in the pictures in little"
but il is iron gray, and it stands
cropped" and erect. His beard, too,
is tawny and slightly mixed with gray.
In physique he is of middle height,
well filled, and neither stout nor slen-
der He has stronger face and more
intellectual head than the popular por-
traits credit him withal, and the lines
in his face are distinctly marked
there is quite a deep line running
across his forehead His eyes are keen
and gray. His coat was semi military
in cut, but not in color. for like his
trousers, it was kind of yellowy
brown. Paris letter.

"Now, Arty, dear" said the Chicago
bride, "we will be just as economical
as we possibly can, won't we?"
"To be sure we will"
"And we'll be as coy as can be,
won't we? 2"
"Yes, indeed"
"And every week well put by dol
lar or so outside of our regular savings,
and not touch it under any circum-
stances"

within month one expert man-catcher
had disappeared, and one had been
found shot TO death on lonely bit of
seacoast near the city.
Ridgely looked over the papers close
ly. Here was statement that the
schooner Osprey would sail into the har-
Dor that evening with a cargo of bamboo
fancy wares, crockery, and tea from
China. In some deft way il was also
expected that certain large hogshead,
ostensibly containing lead-foil, but in
reality filled with opium, would be
landed SO as to evade Government in
spection. This package was to be
spotted, allowed to land, and in no
case to be seized until it had been
traced to the secret haunt where the
smugglers lived.
Il don't like it, murmured Ridgely.
"It's dangerous and unsatisfactory
kind of n case, and it takes my time
and thoughts from the Dayton affair.

With thrill and a start, the detect
i've projected the last words They
conveyed marveling token of excite
ment and hope.
For he had happened to read the
last memoranda in the papers given
him by the chief, and its last line was
a wonderful revelation to his excited
mind.
"These smugglers, the penciled sent
ence ran" are supposed to have haunt
down the coast. Lee Kirby and Will
lam Page, noted desperadoes, are act
i've members of the band. 1t is limited
that the moving spirit and moneyed
hacker is one Percival Aylmer."
"Aylmer" gasped the startled de-
tective All! if it is indeed he, it is a
clue at last. All the perils of earth
shall not prevent me reaching that
man, and through him the woman 1
love-stolen, bereaved Grace Dayton !"
