Trouble i'm the Soldiers Home at Yount.
WILLIE, CAL, Over Pension Money.
SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 1S.-The old sol-
diefs at Yountville Veterans Home are
In a state of mutiny. Two of them have
been discharged from the home for dis
orderly conduct. Commandant Dimfel
has been arrested for assaulting a vet
eran. The officers Of the institution
carry r~evolvers to protect themselves
and the civil authorities have been called
IN. The trouble is all about an order
requiring the old soldiers to turn over
their pension money to the commandment
for safe keeping. This rule was made
to keep the veterans from squande ring
their money in saloons. The saloon
keepers who reap q rich harvest from
the soldiers every month are backing
the mutineers in their fight and 1853 Of
the inmates of the home declared they
will not obey the pension rule. The
board of directors Of the home have in
dorsed Commandant Dimfel's course in
discharging two malcontents and have
adopted resolutions declaring the PEN
sion rule must be obeyed.

the one considered nullifed by the Geary

have been based upon differences drawn
from the Chinese ENJOYS talk. His

it was supposed this trouble

State Engineer of Irrigation Fassett
has made his annual report to Gov.
Sheldon and it is not devoid OF consid-
cradle interest TO South Dakotans.
Twenty-one artesian wells have been
completed in the state during the past
year, the number now under contract is
nine, and the wells now contemplated
and upon which work will begin within
ninety days number ten. The progress
OF we'll construction the past year, de-
spite the financial. stringency, is satisfac-
tory and shows that the people are in
terested in the utilization OF the artesian
we'll supply.
The engineer reviews the conditions
under which artesian boring has been
conducted the past season, the wet
months OF spring being a retarding in
f~iuence, but the drouth OF June anC
the summer months revived the inter
est. The improvement in construction
OF recently bored wells, as a result o
better knowledge of the strata, is ad
ding greatly to their efficiency, and Of
this part Of the subject the enginee
throws come light that will explain tn
shortcomings OF many wells. He says:
ssThere are two principal water beal
