NOT AN ARREST.

Was Good Natured.

Probably never n.the history OF washing
ton has election night passed SO quietly
Noise there was and plenty OF 1t, but IT was
harmless, light hearted noise at which none
could take offense. People pushed ana
hauled and trod on each others toes and
begged each others pardon and smiled
and went their way
The police had nothing to do and were
proud ur 1T. Slight infra ctions of the
rules were good naturedly overlooked, ana
cautionary word or gesture OF an officer
was sufficient 10 quell any incipient dis
turhance.
Admirable arrangements for the care
of the Immense crowds which thronS"d
the Avenue had been planned before haid
by Major Moore and bis assistants. From
each of the niue precincts in the Guy
sergeant and seven patrolmen had been
detailed. These men Were placed under
the command OF Lieut.. AmisS OF the Flrst
precinct, with orders TO distribute the'h
along the Avenue To the best possible ad-
vantage in caring for the crowd and keeping
clear passage for the street cars.
BY O'Clock the reserve drawn from
| the other precincts had reported AT the
Twelfth street station ready for duty
Il large majority of the men had bceh on
duty during the entire afternoon, but all

Every now and then, III moments OF al
most absolute silence, the echoes reached
The Times shoutcrs from inc overflow
meetings which were being held between
Eleventh and Fourteenth on the Avenue.
1t WAS the intuitive sense OF the people
AT large that led them To the corner OF
Tenth street and Pennsylvania avenue.
The machinery worked well, the repro
duCed type and manuscript came out
boldly and was read easily 10y the crowds
up Tenth street and down the Avenue
nearly as far as Ninth street.
At about O'Clock, when the dispatches
began to indicate sweeps for Mckinley in
Kentucky, Tennessee, West Virginia, IL
linois, and even old Virginia herself, the
crowd went fairly crazy. The big Nc
Kiney gains in New York, Ma ssachuset,s,
Vermont, and the New England states Were
things that had been anticipated, but when
the elements of doubt We're being removed
from the Southern States the enthusiasm
was simply indescribable.
The Bryan people Were not in evidence,
and il was only occasionally after
O'Clock that even a faint cheer came ir1m
them when n favorable free silver return
was displayed.
on the utuCr hand, the people, who had
come in for the landslide, hUrrahed them
selves huarSe and kept the crowd besides
in an excellent humor. 1t was, indeed, a
very SGOH-iLallEtu crown. II was III dH

it was generous toits friends, the enemy, in
which respect ii taught great moral and

it cheered. the mixed features We're very
much as they have been at elections of

A remarkable flow of water from artes-
an wells is had in the neighborhood OF
Chamberlain, S. D., where very recently
large number of wells have been sunk.
The water is used for supplying electric
light and power and for irrigation. One
well at Chamberlain sends up 4, 500 gal
Ions minute, and there are twenty four
wells in Burle county sending up an
average of 1000 gallons minute each,
Other wells in the immediate neighbor-
hood bring the total flow of water up to
some. 20, 900, 900 gallons every i, twenty

guilt of Christian blood which is now

himself as the candidate of no party. He

THE GREATER NEW SWEDEN.

Twenty lots of land have recently been
bought by Swedes in the Plantation of
'Westmanland' adjoining New Sweden
in Aroostook county. These lots con-
tain about 100 acres each and are covered
with a virgin forest. Here the Swedes
will fell the trees, clear the land, build
dwelling houses, and make farms and
homes. The Plantation Of Westmanland,
lies next west of New Sweden, has been
settled by the overflow of immigrants
from that town, and is named from one
OF the provinces of the old country. 1t
was legally organized into a plantation
on June L 1892, and last Ju ne, at the
time of the quarter-centennial celebration
of New Sweden. Westmanland alone
numbered 100 inhabitants, all Swedes.
The Swedes who have now taken up the
20 new lots, are immigrants who arrived
a number of years ago at New Sweden,
but finding that the State of Maine had
no more settling lands, they went out
to work in the manufacturing towns of
New England, principally in Massachu-
sets, until now they have earned suff1-
Gent money to purchase lots of the pro-
prietors OF the township. Other Swedes
have done the same in the past, and
many more will do so in the future. OF
course the fact that individual proprie-
tors and not the State, own the land in
the vicinity of New Sweden, greatly re-
tards the settlement Of that region. but
settled it surely will be and by most
desirable class of immigrants The
township to the north of New Sweden is
also being settled by Swedes. and last
year numbered 1877 inhabitants, and was
legally organized and named 'sStook-
holIn." Our entire Swedish settlement
in Aroostook county numbers today more
than 1900 souls while in the whole State
of Maine there are over 5000 Swedes added
to our population by the Swedish immi-
grafton enterprise. New Sweden has
passed the critical years of it's infancy
and "The Greater New Sweden" will
soon be stalwart fact in the Pine Tree
State.
