Wells.

10 TIE EDITOR OF
Dear Sir:-I am much pleased to note
that not only the farmers but the news
papers are taking an interest in the sub
ject of irrigation by artesian wells. If
the farmers and newspaper men join
hands OF this subject the wells will come
and we will have the best agricultural
country on earth. l made experiments
last season on my farm with waste water
from the artesian wells at this place
which were highly satisfactory and |
continue the same on a larger scale this
year as much for the purpose OF practic-
ally demonstrating to the public what
can be done in this way and what results
can be obtained as for private gain.
Such experiments need no argument, they
speak for themselves. The college boys
at Redfield have taken the matter up and
will try experiments there. Why can
not the city council and mayor at such
cities as Woonsocket, Miller and Kimball
do something toward %irrigating a few
acres? lie may be outside their duties or
jurisdiction but no sensible taxpayer
would complain of a small outlay in such
a great enterprise. The request should
be made by petition of the taxpayer.
Or if this could not be accomplished
could not the business men form a club
and contribute? Nothing succeeds like
success" and Nothing speaks palmer
or louder than facts" There are plenty
OF wells in South Dakota to try the exper-
iments necessary this season and "Now
is the accepted time"
Yours very truly.
JIG. RYAN.

Parker Press: Two weeks ago Editor
Hackett and some Of the county commits
sioners had a wal of words, in which one
of the commissioners told him to keep
his name out Of the paper, as he would
bear no more of the innuendocs and in
situations, but gave him to understand
if he had any charges to take them to the
proper officers, and cease his abuse, or he
would lick him. Hackett responded in
ldst weeks paper with a long TRADE of
abuse, and closed his article by inviting
them to come around in daylight-one
at a time" and Monday, as Ha ckett was
coming out of the p~ostofice. one of them
came around and hit him a couple of
times. knocking him against the glass
window, cutting his face and backing
his eye, for which he got the mar arrest
ed and fined 425 and costs.

Good Advice.

Plankinton Herald: 1t doesn't pay to
be a policy man, especially in a small
town. where you meet your neighbor face
to face a dozen times a day, and come in
contact with him in your daily business
transactions. In large places it is differ
ent to a degree. But in a small berg likr
this it would be better for the man who
has anything to say of his neighbor, to
say it to his face for he hears it in any
way in a short time, and if you talk to a
maj face to face, it gives him an oppor-
tunity to defend himself, and if these
stories carried by some n else, they
usually grow as they travel.

All manner OF theories are produced
to account for the depression Of the agri-

.sThe Heir.v

Despite the efforts OF a certain few to
kill it at the start and Notwithstanding
the sinister Indifference OF others who
hoped it would fail-and from home
kinder things were expected and deserved
the above drama was brought to a sue
cessful presentation at the opera-house
Monday evening. The audience was one
of the largest and most critical that eyer
assembled in the opera-house and it was
a generous III indeed. All the little
fine points with which the play abounds
were quickly seen and warmly applauded.
On all sides are heard nothing but words
Of praise and it seems to be the general
opinion that nj finer entertainment was
ever given in the opera-house. The diff
Guilty of gathering twenty-five people and
blending the whole into a presentation
of that character which contains eight
strong characters a only be appreciated
by those who have had experience in
amateur theatricals. To particularize
the acting Of each one would be in bad
taste on our part. 1t ii enough to say
that while the writer has twice cast it in
a city of ten times the size of Kimball
and taken part in it at other times he
never saw it played by amateurs as we'll
as was done Monday night. 1t was re-
markable how we'll all the minor parts
were filled. We think those who took
part in it are entitled to all the praise
the performance received, and from none
came more fattering enconiums than
from the commercial travellers and other
strangers who were present.
The presentation revealed one thing
clearly: that almost any town contains
plenty Of hidden dramatic talent which
only a little effort will develope. Tho
only trouble Of itia. there is no money in
il, very little fun and lotsof hard work.
But as long,as no shows visit US some
thing has to be done to keep things NOV
ing. And then il is better to keep The

a strong amateur company that exists on
the American stage to-day, We always
said 30 and we think others will now
concur largely in that opinion Wethink
all who took part in it have done them
selves proud, and, as editor of this paper
and manager of the company, we wish to
take this opportunity to not only extend
our congratulations to every one who
assisted in the work but to express our
sincere thanks as well. In some respects
we regard it as a personal favor and will
remember it accordingly.

above figures were taken, adds: "As a
result of an increase Of farms and farm
products 80 o%utstripping the increase in
population, the only staples the growing
OF which is fairly renumeratiye are pork
and cotton. This is accounted for by
our monopoly Of the worlds supply of
cotton, and by the fact that the number
OF swine has not kept pace with the in
crease in population" Now If the world
OF improvement had stood still and ship
ments were largely made by wagon and
canal. as they were thirty-nine years ago,
the above deductions might possibly hold
good. America for its grain and farm
products now has the markets of Europe
at its door. for the farmer of to-day can
reach the docks of Liverpool much
quicker and cheaper than the farmer of
that distant period could reach the docks
of New York. All things considered
farm products have not increased beyond
the ratio Of population, but have not held
their own.
The real fact Of the situation is that
thirty-nine years ago the wealth of the
nation consisted OF its agricultural in
terests. Then there were not half a
dozen millionaires in the United States.
Few men were wretchedly poor. and a
still smaller number excessively rich.
Since then legislation has been so tenn
pered as to turn all the streams of wealth
into the Golfers of the few and reduced
the many to a woeful state of poverty,
and tbs farmer has been caught and
broken between the wheels of the ma
cllinery run in the interest OF rival polit-
zeal parties and has himself labored and
sweated at the crank to keep the wheels
which have ground him down in
motion.
In telling the Senate on Monday why
$s0,oOo.0oo Of the greenback redemption
reserve now held in the treasury ought to
be put into circulation, Mr.. Plumb, of
Kansas, used the following remarkable,
because truthful language:
The business of the country is languish-
ing. New enterprises are withheld. Old
enterprises are struggling to keep on
their feet. And there is dread and terror
and apprehension where there Oughtto be
hopefullness and enterprise.
The Cleveland Leader in commenting
on this passage, calls it "a gross and in
excusible statement of the case" and adds
"if it were true the notion that the put
ting of more money into circulation
would cure it all would be absurb."
Those who are acquainted with the real
condition OF the country know that every
word uttered by the Kansas senator is
gospel truth. Labor is PROSTATE because
money has been centralized and a few
control its output. The release of the
$75,000,0O0 would be a blessing at this
particular time, but the Leader opposes
it for the same reason it does a service
pension-because it would cheaper
money, make it possible for the debtor to
discharge a portion of his debts, and
strike a blow at trusts and mon0polies
Of which it is the special friend and
champion. There is no danger now of
the country ever having too much money
in circulation, and there never will be.

1.-THE Lost Heir" at Chamberlain.
The Kimball dramatic company pre-
sented this drama at Chamberlain We'd
desday night to a packed house. Every
seat on the first floor was sold before the
doors were opened and standing room
only was the order of things at the rise
Of the curtain. The company labored
under the disadvantage of a strange
stage-which always bothers amateurs
but so far as outward appearances showed
everything worked smoothly. The i'm
mems audience was enthusiastic from
the first rise of the curtain to the close,
and every good point was roundly ap-
plauded. No warmer welcome could
have been given a. home company than
that which they gave the Kimhall people.
The beauty of the drama itself and the
excellence Of its presentation seemed to
be more warmly praised in Chamberlain
than in Kimbali-if that were possible
and the expressions were frequent that
it was the best amateur rendition ev +
witnessed.
