Unable to Control the Well.

Efforts looking toward the control of the
mammoth Chamberlain artesian well have
been abandoned, and this well, cOaquerer
in the long struggle for its subsection, will
hereafter he permitted to flow without
mOlestatiOa or interruption. This we'll,
(which has attracted the attention Of peo-
pie living in all portions OF the United
States by reason Of its enormous flow Of
4,762 gallons minute, has been an ele-
phant on the hands of its owner from the
first. While constructing a tunnel from
the we'll to the Missouri River to carry
away the surplus water the tunnel cavesl
in, killing one man, and another escaped
only by miracle. From the beginnin"
water has escaped from the outside OF H.
eight-inch pipe and at one time threat
ened to inguh the roller mill, which
stands near by. Efforts have been made
at various times to stop the leaks on the
outside of the pipe but without success.
While attempting to clear the pipe Of
rocks and other distractions not long ago
the discovery was made that the pipe had
parted. 1t is distance of fifty feet from
the surface of the ground down to the
chalk rock, and this rock is 100 feet in
thickness. Immediately under the chalk
rock is where the pipe parted, leaving a
gap of about forty feet between the upper
and lower sections of the dist ointed casing.
The lower section Of the pipe is standing
in an upright position. The well is
certainly in bad condition, although no
immediate danger or damage to surround
ing prODerty is anticipated.

An Aberdeen Curiosity.

C. r. Hay of Aberdeen is the owner of
most interesting curiosity, section of fir
tree in which is interl0cked and partially
covered by growth the head and horns Of a
Rocky Mountain ram. Below the horns
the tree trunk shows diameter of two
feet or more, while above it is gnarlcd
and knotted with several lateral growths
To all appearances the ram had lodged in
the fir when the tree was small, and the
rigid horns had strangled its growth
above and greatly distorted it. Mr.. Hay
found it while the tree still stood in a
gulch near Butte City, Mont, several
years ago. The horns were about twelve
feet from the grouud, as the tree stood, and
the most plausible theory as to how they
came there is that the gulch had partially
filled with snow and the ram became en-
tangled in its projecting top while brows-
ing or rubbing Its horns.

fail to fulfill the requirements young
man from Charles Mix County will prob

ANOTHER BEHRING SEA BELL
Parliament Will Amend Erregulari-
ties to Please Canada.

WASHINGTON, June II, 1Se5-The bill
which passed the British Parliament last
year to carry into effect the Paris Award
has never been wholly satisfactory to
the Dominion of Canada. There has
been considerable correspondence be-
tween the Ottawa Government and the
London Foreign Office regarding the
measure The Canadians contended that
it was loosely drawn, and that it ought
~ ~ oNrrecte@ in ? number of minor
particulars. The British Government
lie, .loe deny one allegation, but the
excuse given is that It was hastily
rushed through Parliament N order that
no delay might ensue in putting the
regulations into effect.
The statement made by Sir. Edward
Gray in Parliament yesterday that he
would introduce bill on the 10th instant
having reference to the sealing in Beh-
ring Sea is the outgrowth of this cores
pondence and it means simply that the
proposed bill will amend certain parts of
the original bill but without changing the
spirit of that act. In other words, the
regulations now in force cannot be
changed except with the consent of both
countries. but the British Parliament
may make their own act somewhat more
symmetrical by amending certain of the
articles and this will be done in the
measure which Sir Edward Gray will
bring forward on Monday week.
