ARTESIAN WELLS.
Brule County People Perforating the
Earth for Water.

Chamberlain, s. D., Oct. 10.--Next sea-
Son this tBrule) county will have from
four 10 eight irrigated farms; and Of
these, at least -four will be equal to the
famous Hunter farm, both in area irri,
gated and in the systematic In
which irrigation will be carried on. Dur
ing the past season Claus Arp, who has
hn eight inch artesian well on his land,
irrigated a portion Of his 500 acre farm,
with good success. Henry Willrodt has
an eight inch well and this season also
Irrigated a portion OF his farm, which
contains 4S0 acres. These and other eX-
per!ments have been so successful in
proving the great benefits of irrigation
that something of an irrigation fever
exists in his county, and several ar
teslan wells have been contracted for,
while the sinking Of a number of other
wells is being contemplated. Among the
prominent citizens of the county who
have decided TO sink artes!an wells are
ID. y. Kaufman. formerly of Sioux City,
who will sink a six inch well on his $40
here farm near town. John Houska will
sink -four inch well, which will be used
10 irrigate 800 acres Of land. l.. Fl. Will
rodt has decided to sink an eight inch
well, and will irrigate the greater por-
ton of his 1900 acre farm. W. O. Car
penter, a Chicago capitalist, who owns
in the neighborhood of 1900 acres OF
land neal the town of Pukwana, this
county, has already let the contract for
the sinking of an eight inch well, and
work upon IL will commence in a few
days. He proposes to do some scientific
irrigation next season. r. G.. Carroll,
y. w. Sanford and Peter Shrake own an
aggregate Of 500 acres Of land south OF
the city, and they are figuring on sink
ing a six inch well. The land adjoinS.
and being in one body can easily be ir-
rigated with the one well. Each VIII
bear his proportion of the cost OF sink
ing the well and putting in a first class

Some OF the Dad Breaks Of the Chicago
Associated Press.

Chicago, Oct. l1.-In an editorial un-
der the caption The Associated Press
Still at It," the Evening Press today
says: THE Associated Press again has
INDUCED in its deep seated, shameless
habit of taking news. Early this morn
ing it sent out the report that President
Cleveland was a~ssass.nated, n papers
receiving its service gave publicity to
the f~alsification. The Associated Press
was guilty Of the offense in order TO inn
press its patrons with the idea that ii Is
an enterpr,sing and aggressive concern.
Through the righteousness, or ignor-
ance. or perversity of It's employees. ii
startled the world by describing an al
legged slaughter Of white settlers at
Jackson's Hole. Through the glarlns
incompetency Of its correspondents, II
falsely reported the race between De-
fender and Valkyrie. and said the Eng
lish boat was victor when the contrary
was the fact. Now it comes with infor-
nation that the president of the United
States has been murdered.
THE Associated Press is as much an
offender as though it were a merchant
and lied about its wares. But What may
oe expected from a press agency that,
at the behest of interested parties, with
held the result of New York's vote in a
presidential election"

done, but II is stated on reliable author,
