South Dakota Artesian Wells.

A. G. Miller, who Was for many years
and until recently deputy county trea-
surer of Des Moines, and Is we'll known
through Iowa as an excellent marks
man, is in the city. He is on his way
home from three weeks trip through
out South Dakota, where he was in the
interest of the Des Moines Loan and
Trust company, investigating the ar
tesian wells and irrigation. He has
made careful examination n OF the ar
teslan we'll district from Yankton to
Aberdeen and from Madison to High.
more. He expresses himself as highly
elated with the artesian wells OF the
new state and believes that they con-
stitute q great source OF wealth for the
country.
In reference to irrigation he con-
ciudes that by this means the state
can main an agricultural supremacy.
Wherever irrigation has been tried it is
q great success. He had samples of
wheat taken from two parts Of one
farm in SPHINX county. One hall OF the
farm which was sown with wheat was
irrigated and the other was not. On
the irrigated portion twenty eight
bushels ofwheaU per acre was raised,
grading No. 1 hard, and on the portion
left without water there was but three
bushels per acre, and it was graded
rejected.

south Dakota Raw Maerial.

The Watertown Public Opinion gets
down to solid business when it says
that "South Dakota can never reach
the height of her prosperity until she
commences to utilize her raw material.
Nearly everything she now produces
is shipped to other states to be
brought back in manufactured goods.
Flax seed is carried to eastern mills
and linseed oil returned. Flax straw
Is left on the ground to rot and high
prices paid for binding twine. Wheat
and oat straw is burned in the stack
and building and wrapping paper
shipped in. Raw hides are sent out
and finished leather returned. Wool
gathers into eastern looms and re.
turns in yarn aud cloth. All her
starch is supplied from other states
and of times potatoes GO a-begging.
Thus, in manifold ways, is the wealth
of this land being turned into foreign
channels. Ii the state would be pros
porous and commercially strong the
wealth that nature deposited here
should be utilized at home. We must
work up our raw material"

Prosperity on Every Hand.

AS an evidence that the farmers
hereabouts are in a prosperous con-
ditIon we give one circumstance which
occurred q short time since. Last
spring farmer came to Brookings
and told q banker, who held mort
gage on everything the farmer pos.
sessed, that there was no use trying
to pay the debt and that the banker
had better take the property. The
banker finally pursuaded the farmer
to try one more crop. This tall the
farmer will be able 20 paw every debt
he owes and have enough to tide him
over until he gets another crop.
The above is but one occurrence
among hundreds OF others, we might
mention where farmers, who have
been discouraged during the past three
or four years, are now able to say
they are free from debt and will enter
the coming year with renewed energy.

A False Statement.

1t has been intimated that the grain
market OF this city does not pay as
high prices as those in surrounding
towns. Farmers who market their
grain here state that they always find
a steady market at Brookings when
the price is up in the forenoon they
know with safety that 1T will be the
same in the afternoon and that they
can trust such a market rather than
those which "bull' the market in the
morning and then drop off when the
grain commences to come in during
the afternoon. Strong competition
aIwas caused steady and stiff price
in any commodity, and this is true in
our grain market. Don't be led estray
by any falss rumors, but try the
Brookings market and see for your
selves that what We say is q fair state
ment of the facts OF the case.

Republican Rally at Estelline.

Saturday evening a grand republl-
can rally was held at Estelline. The
Brookings band, bearing the Huron
for Capital" banner and playing sweet
strains of music, marched from the
depot to the hotel. They were follow
ed by q large number OF citizens of
Castlewood, Watertown, Bruce and
Brookings. Alter supper the band
gave brief street concert. A good
sized torchlight procession was formed,
and headed by the Brookings band,
marched to the Shoenfelt residence
and escorted Governor Mellette and
Hon. John r. Gamble to the hall,
which was crowded with ladies and
gentlemen. Hon. j. P. Ceehver, OF
Castlewood, was chosen chairman of
the meeting, and in few pleasing re-
marks introduced Gov. Mellette, who
delivered very pleasing address. His
words were plain, logical, and the en-
thusiastic applauses which interrupted
his speech showed that his address
was we'll received. Hon. John r. Gam.
BILE followed with a speech which must
have set some of the independents
present to thinking, and no doubt
made many votes for the republican
party. The meeting closed with a
piece of music from the band, and the
visitors, speakers and band returned
to Watertown and Brookipgs by spe-
cial train.

Dollars and Dollars.

People living in Brookings and who
have not been about this county to
any extent would be surprised to see
the amount OF grain there is in stacks.
There Is, we are sorry to note, many
fields of fine looking wheat which still
remains in the shock. Machines be-
ing scarce, this grain must remain IN
the fie J an indefinite length of time,
which will greatly damage it and
much of it will be shelled out. Should
rain set in half the yield will be de-
stroyed.

RUN TO COVER.

Morris, the Confidence Man, Finally
Comes to Grief.
W. G. Morris, the fellow who cut such a
wide swath here couple Of weeks ago on
the strength of having received an alleged
contract from the Government to close the
Payne levee break, and who disappeared
as soon as the RECORD UNION exposed
him, has turned up again.
Day before yesterday he called upon
several business men in Roseville and, it is
said, tried to pass check for considerable
sum of money, but without success. He
did, however, bargain for lot of goods at
one place, promising to call for them later.
He took one silk handkerchief from the
lot, and this he tied about his neck and
wore in true cowboy style.
Then he hired horse at stable to come
to Sacramento, but Constable Lamphrey
telegraphed to Chief of Police Lee to arrest
him for horse stealing Officer Rider went
out yesterday and found the gentleman at
Schaden's grocery store, where he had
bought bill of goods. saying that he had
100 head of horses across the river and a
number of men gathering them. On the
strength of this statement he managed to
get drink from Schaden, to whom he had
bargained to sell carriage horse.
The officer found that the horse Morris
hired at Roseville had been returned from
here by another party, but instead of being
taken to its owner was left with other par
ties.
Morris seems to be simply plain, every
day sort of dead-beat. His plan is to tell
big stories of his operations, order bills of
goods, and get a small portion of the stuff
into his possession. He will do the same
even to get meal or a drink of whisky.
Constable Lamphrey came to the city
last evening and escorted the gentleman to
Roseville. where it will be seen if the law
can get grip on so smooth a creature.

put in an appearance yesterday morning it
was still dark, and one of them ran against
the monster, which repealed the insult by
swapping at the mans leg, taking piece
of his trousers. 1t was driven by the men
back into the slough, where all day long it
remained, and where it will probably stay
until recaptured, although there is posi-
bility that it may find its way to the river
some night.
Long rows of Cinnamon lined the bank
of the slough yesterday, gazing sorrow
fully upon the scene. The monster was
sporting about in the water and chewing
up the carp and catfish with neatness and
dispatch. This means the destruction of
one of the chief sources Of revenue and
provender to Chinatown, and the fish
peddlers are in dlsmay, for if the sea lion
stays there for a few weeks he will leave
very poor fishing for the other fellows. The
prospect is, also, that families who have
been in the habit of purchasing their
brain-food from Chinese peddlers will ex-
perience fish famine for while.
After midnight last night the lion could
be heard believing loudly, and the noise
seemed to indicate that it had left the
slough and was Waiting up and down ]
street.

The promenade concert and ball given al

and the affair passed off delightfully."-.
While not q dress affair, the ladies' cos

been looked for on an occasion of that
kind, and many of the gentlemen were in
evening dress.

grammes contained fourteen numbers. The
committees having charge of The ball and
the arrangements therefor were:
