Crazed by Reverses.

McHenry County News and Stockman:
There has been an epidemic OF insanity
in Ramsey county of late. A number of
the cases have assumed the form OF re-.
Egious mania. Whether the constant
use Of such names as Devils Lake, ~
Jerusalem" "Hell's Gate," ETC., have
anything to do with this particular form
OF dementia is not known. The last VIC
tim is n farmer by the name OF Nick SUIT
ter, who was adjudged insane and taken
to the asylum at jamestown this week.
His mental alteration is said to have
been brought about by successive crop
failures and consequent poverty. In
strange opposition to the cause Of his in
sanity he believes that he owns the
world, and in Pullman palace car
travels over his extensive domains. With
stick which he ratified between the bars
OF bis cell he sped teleeraphic messages
OF the greatest moment to the uttermost
parts of the earth, which he owned, and
around which he had fence. How ut
terly absurd aud yet what a pitiful ex-
ample Of the result OF what the unfortu.
ante farmers have undergone! But the
day OF their trials is over. and the dawn.
ing Of long day of prosperity is break
ing. when farmers may feel that they own
good share of the earth, and not be
crazy, either.

increase. Other causes may exist for the
decline in the volume Of water, such as q
subterranean outlet. 1t is we'll known
tradition that Stump lake, q body of
water about 6 miles southeast of Devils
Lake, was once the camping
ground of Indians, and it is believed
that large trunks Of trees that are found
embedded in the bottom of the lake have
been submerged by an importing Of water
from an opening OF subterraDean nature
that is connected with the main lake.
In his return from Devils Lake Mr..
Follett passed through the eastern part
of Foster county where there is an area
of level country, as at Tiffany, which is
very productive, and where water is to be
found at slight depth averaging, it is
said, in wells dug by farmers, at about Z
feet. The strata in which this water is
found consists Of fine sand, which gets
coarser as the depth increases. No deep
we'll has been dug IN this valley, for the
reason that it has not been necessary.
Mr.. Follett thinks that irrigation from
these wells could be obtained by eleva.
ting the water into tanks with horse
power.

Big Hail Stones.

Dickinson Press: The most destructive
hail storm within small radius is one
reported by Chas. E. Dobson at his sheep
ranch on the Cannon Ball on the 18th
instant. The storm came up in the after
noon sand was terrorizing for tie phe-
nominal chunks Of ice dropped from the
clouds, measuring fully nine inches in
circumference. When Mr.. Dobson went
out to view his focks, it was pltiful
sight that met his gaze. HIS herder,
Ernest Hartmann. was frightened
bruised and cut and the sheep were still
more sorrowfully afflicted. Forty head
we're killed outright and the numbers
wounded were not easily counted. If
they had not had the protection of a
light brush patch the result would have
been much more disastrous. At the
house, Mr.. Dobson says, the shingles
were split all to pieces and all the win
dows were broken out. A large camping
iron kettle which stood outside had its
bottom knocked ont by one of the hail
stones, which shows with what velocity
the ice fell.

From far Off Chill.

A letter dated at Iquique. Chill, South
America, June 5, written by Capt. Catfa-
rena to e. w. Camp. shows an extensive
journey in various countries Of both old
and new world before reaching it's desti-
nation. 1t was mis-sent to Africa, from
thence it went to Paris, London. New
York and finally arrived here July 25,
ten days after leaving London. The let
ter itself says that Capt. Caffarena has
been witness to some of tue
turbulent revolutionary scenes that have
been occurring in South America recent
ly, but he writes that most Of the trouble
is believed to be over, temporarily at
least. However, revolution is always
expected inSthat country, although like
earthquakes they have uncertain and un-
equal results. lquique is a seaport at
the edge of an utter desert between the
coast and the Andes, and is a station
where fertilizers of a phosphate character
are shipped to this country and to Europe
in great quantities. It will be remem-
bered that Capt. Coffarena left his farm
near Pingree in this county last year to
take up his old vocation as q seaman
again after eight or ten years life in the
interior of continent. He intended to
join bis son who is proprietor of circus
that visits seaport towns and is trans
ported by boat.
