A Vigorous Spouter.

Another subterranean water mons ter
has been loosened from his confinement
under the James River valley. A special
from Woonsocket, Sanborn county says
that Saturday last, the@rtesiap well at
that place, burst forth in six-inch
column of sand and water The work
men abandoned their tools to escape and
the engine is half-buried. Hundreds of
sight-seers thronged the place despite
tie storm Of snow and wind. The lower
parts Of the town are flooded and hun
dreds of tons of sand fill all the fow places.
There was force of men all day keeping
the sand from the tower. Five hundred
dollars worth of unfinished water mans
are full. and the freeze will burst them
The roaring sand is heard blocks away,
and the force is increasing every hour.
AT 5 p. m. there was column twenty
feet high. Over seven thousand gallons
of water are flowing every minute, and
there is a pressure Of three hundred
pounds to the inch. No power can con-
troll the well at present. More water
comes from it than runs in the Jim
river.

It vii! be remembered that at the be.
ginning of the session the democratic
members OF the lower house held a
kindergarten caucus and played that
they were electlng a speaker Of that body,
too. They decided to run w. H. Muir
ply of Cavalier county, and voted for
hlm in open session, just like he was
sure enough candidate for that position.
Well, of course, that gentleman never got
in sight of the chair away up on the
speakers rostrum, but when he starts for
anything that really is in sight; for some
object the attainment of which is a posi-
billty, but few of the members can come
nearer reaching the goal of their desires.
And his actions on the floor have led to
to the observation that it is passing
strange how some such good men occa-
sionally stray into thu democratic fold.
He is u conscientious, hard working legis-
latOr, who commands the respect and
admiration of all his co-laborers in the
vineyard of sta,ecraft. Mr.. Murphy
formerly lived in Fargo. where he was
connected with Dunn's Mercantile
agency and travelled over the track with
the heetest entries in that swift circuit.
Every body was glad that 'Murph old
boy" had come into possession of a good
thing and sorry that he had to leave the
town when he was appointed custom
collector upon the Canadian line, shortly
after President Cleveland's election. He
remained in this position until few
months since, when he was gently but
firmly removed to make way for some
good republican. He now claims tnat
he is a reformed politician; metamor-
phosed into an honest farmer. But the
chances are. that unless Cavalier county
is made missionary field for the promul-
cation of sound political doctrine; is
''saved as a brand from the burning"
democratic fires, he will fall from grace
and again enter upon his downward
conrse as man, and upward course as a
pOlltician

Board Of Agriculture. \

The first yearly meeting OF the state
agricultural board is required to be held
today and several members of the board
are in the city for that purpose. The
board consists of nine members. besides
treasurer and secretary. The treasurer
is E. Y. Searles of Hillsboro, the secre-
tary, Gerald Pierce, Bismarck. The
members are I. c. Wade president; J. 4.
Power, vice PRESIDENT: and Joseph
Toombs, Grafton; J. B. Eallandingham.
Valley City; r. D. Glasgow, Casselton:
Clarence Price, Bismarck; H. L. Norton,

Messrs. Toombs, Wade and Board
were present today, and expected to get
a quorum by the arrival tonight of MI.
Norton. who Is member of the legisla-
ture, and of Mr.. Price OF Bismarck.
The election OF officers will take place
at tins meeting. The selection OF the
next place for holding the fair will be
considered, but no action taken, in all
likelihood, until the Legislature adionrns.
That body may transact some business

The majority o. the members, it is SAID,
do not favor holding the fair at Grand
Forks again, for the present. Fargo
seems to be preferred and then that
jamestown should have her turn. The
permanent location of the fair by the
legislature Is not regarded as possibility.

A DAKOTA ROMANCE.

\ Fargo Gentleman who Disregard
ed Certain Social COnventionalities
but Got there just the Same.
In the early history of Fargo, just
before the now famous rapid rise in real
estate values began, there appeared on
the scene two gentlemen from 4exas,
who opened the Cass County bank under
the firm name of Clapp & McCraw. They
were evidently men of large means. and
were also possessed of excellent business
judgment. For they speculated in city
property and farm lands to a''stand still"
limit, and almost invariably realized
large profits on their investments. Mr..
Clapp Lad his family with him and they
stepped into a prominent social position
without delay. Mr.. McCraw also had a
lady with him on whose Tiffany -engrav-
ed visiting cards was his name with the
conventional Mrs. prefxed. 1t soon
leaked out that there was something
unsanctioned by the cruel laws of Gus
tom in their relations. 1t seems as If
such delicate affairs can never be shield
ed from the curious gaze of the vulgar
public. The lady-and the word is used
advisedly-didn't remain in the north
west a great while. What became of
her is not known. McCraw. however,
was slayer and became one of the most
popular and highly respected citizens of
the place, Notwithstanding one or two

appeared to take no especial pains to
conc al. He had the instincts OF a gen
tleman, was highly educated, genial
whole-souled thoroughbred, and every
body liked him. He died few weeks |
since in Texas. and now the papers OF |
the northwest are publishing for the
first time, some facts connected with his !
former life This is the substance Of the |
story:
"McCraw of the late land firm of Clapp |
and McCraw of Fargo, has recently died |
in Texas, for which state he some months |
ago left Fargo, as an invalid. Since his
death it transpires that twelve years ago
he deserted his wife under peculiar cir
cumstances. a party OF ladies and gen
tlemen weht from Bryan, Texas, to Gal
weston on pleasure trip. In the party
were McCraw and his wife and B.H.D Davis
and wife. The party went bathing in the
surf at Galveston one evening, and Mrs.
Dayis di, appeared. She was supposed
to have been drowned in the Gulf, was
mourned as dead and solemn funeral
were held at Bryan, in which
McCraw was one OF the chief sympathlz-
ers with the bereaved husband. A few
days after the funeral McCraw left for
New York on urgent business. A short
time after his arrival in New York, mu-
tual family friends discovered that Mr.
McCraw and Mrs. Davis were living to-
gether. Naturally two divorces resulted.
Last June, through the efforts of Miss
McCraw, her father and mother were
again brought together in Dakota after
twelve years OF separation, during which
time McCraw had amassed a large for
tune by dealing IN Dakota wheat. and
the divorced couple wereremarried."
Let him who is perfect cast the first
stone Mr.. NcCraw was all right com
paratlvely speaking.

The condition of the woman up at the
infirmary had not changed, and nothing
further had transpired.
twas a dead level of monotony-wait-
ing. waiting-and May Fieldings spirits
fell accordingly.
The weather, too, had changed TO dull
drizzling rain. wearisome and depress-
ing, and though, as May Fielding sat in
her own room on this eighth night after
the outrage. the downpour had ceased
there was pitch blackneSs without, and
the wind howled tiiSmally among the
dripping boughs and over the sodden
lawns.
A fitting accompaniment she thought
to her own weariness and sorrow
There seemed nothing to look forward
TO but the cold routine of public trial,
which, if Clare's words were true. could
have but one ending-the conviction OF
Guy L'Estrange and a long, terrible
term OF imprisonment.
Only one thing in all was sure-hel
certain, answering love for Guy.
She was seated at the fire, which. in
spite of the time of year, she had had
lit. for she was chilled and pulseless,
when slight noise at the window at.
tracted her attention.
With a nervous, startled feeling at her
heart she turned her head and waited.
Again the sound came-tap, tap. tap.

day, Mr.. Armstrong, and she quat'eo
the room.
As she did so the lawyer plucked up
courage.
"Mrs. RAYMOND" he said, "your
daughters manner puzzles rae. Do you
think she knows anything, and is keep
ing it back from feelings OF deiicScy OF
--or-otherwise:
The last word was stammered out in
stead Of the conaemnatory expression
which rose to his lips
Mrs. Raymond looked simply aston
islled.
Really, Ifr. Armstrong" she said,
s.vo,1 must be dreaming. Clare Is very
much upset, of course, at the turn events
have taken, but she knows nothing more
than shs has heard from you. She has
had no opportunity
':.Ah." said the lawyer. 'I thought
she might. But you see we men of the
law catch at a straw in a case Cd TINS
kind / don't quite see m. way clear
vet, of course: but it must come right In
the end Tell Miss May that"
He shook bands with Mrs. Raymond
and LEFT her with his usual placid smile,
and with more than his accustomed
gayety of manner.
He had studied the tortuous lines OF
= human character all his life, and he felt
sure that Clare Raymond held some Sc
cref.
If she was working. or was about to
work, against Guy L'Estrange, what was
her motive for such action:
That was the question which Mr.. Arm
strong pat to hirfseif, and there could bc
but one answer.
.Jealousyi
He determined, at any rate, to sound
Guy On the subject.
Guy was taking the whole matter very
well, considering all things.
But he could not help being alive to
the fact that his was position of great
danger.
The evidence at present was dead
against him in every way.
The very fact of the marks upon his
arm, having been spoken of by the
woman without her having had chance
Of seeing them, was strong proof of the
truth of her story-prcof which he
seenaed unable to get over, even In his
own mind.
OF course the whole affair was a
puzzle.
At least, it was thus he spoke and ar
gued with has lawyer; and though Paul
Armstrong, listening and looking into
the open, honest face, could not avoid
believing him innocent, still he was
compelled to acknowledge that part Of
the whole position.
On leaving Raymond Lodge he pro-
ceeded at once TO the prison. where he
found Guy. pale and distressed, but out
wardiy calm.
We'll. how are they all?' he asked.
Pretty much as might be expected,
said Mr. Armstrong. ''Of course, Miss
Fielding feels you position acuteiy;
bat it is Clare Raymond whom l can
not understand. Her manner is SO
strange; she seems "a be keeping some
thin back. Have you-excuoe my ask
ing the question-have you ever given
her reason tc suppose that-er-that she
might have occupied the position now
held by Miss Fieldiag?"
Guy glanced up at him in great sur
prise.
For a moment tie question seemed to
be utterly absurd.

But in moment there flashed across
his mind a hundred things which at

manner is very strange and suggestive
OF some hidden secret. Let MS hope it is
all my fancy. And now to business
".
The message of Guy to May restored
time to have quite recovered her strength.
AT the usual time for retiring she was
chatting gayly 10 Clare. who had been
strangely reserved and silent.
At length she interrupted her.
