They Are often Made of Logs Bound
with Rawhide.
The expedients to which the Cuban
patriots are driven to procure weapons
with which to carry on their warfare
against Spanish oppression show thehi
TO be a most ingenious people. Almost
everything has been pressed into ST.
vice which would suffice for a cannon.
Cannon in Cuba have been cast from
crude bronze; have been extemporlzcd
from captured sugar mill steam pipes,
and unite serviceable ones have even
been made from wooden logs, wouho
with strips of green rawhide.
There grows in the interior OF Cupa
peculiar tree, with winding grain.
The wood is remarkably tough, and TO
split it by ordinary means is almost an
impossibility. When wanted FOR aftli-
lery purposes the tree is felled; sec
tion some five feet in length and one
foot in diameter is selected, and cut;
the bark is removed, and all knots and
uneven places ON the surface dressed
down. The embryo cannon is then
placed on rude trusses and bore burn
ed in it with white hot crow bars or
round iron pipes from the sugar mills.
This burning out of the interior serves
TO still further tougher the wood. While
the bore is being burned green OK hides
are cut into long strips. When all is

WONDERFUL ARTESiAN WELLS.
Bru1e County, North Dakota, Stands
Unique in the World.

BruIe County, North Dakota, Stands
Unique in the World.
Brule County, South Dakota, is be-
coming one of the wonder regions of
the West because of the development
of a remarkable artesian well system
and the application of the power de-
rived from the unusual pressure and
regularity of flow of water from these
wells. The county contains two of the
greatest artesan wells in the world.

tesian well power on this continent.
city, for both public and private puu
poses, and more than half the power of
the we'll is running to waste because SO
far no use has been found for it.
In no other part of the West, or, it il;
said, in the world, has an artesian
well basin been found that furnishes
water of such uniform pressure and
great volume as in Brule County.
Wells have been sunk in every part of
the county, of depth averaging 1000
feet, which yield uniform flow of
water at the surface of about 1,00o
gallons a minute. An idea of the value
of this supply of water for irrigation
purposes is had from the fact thar 4
flow of 800 gallons of water a minute
will cover a full section of land, $50
acres, with one inch of water every
fifteen days. Each we'll, it has been
found, will force steady stream of
water through fifteen miles of irrigat-
ing bitches, the bitches being about the
size of a small creek. The water is
pure as spring water, and Of a lem
perature, varying between 20 and %
degrees.
The we'll at Chamberlain is the larg-
est in the county. 1t is 675 feet deep
and inches in diameter, and the flow
of water is 4,430 gallons minute at
pressure of 40 pounds to the square
inch, affording energy equal to 100
horse power constantly exerted. The
water spouts up from the mouth of the
we'll in solid eight-inch column to q
height Of 1921 feet above the opening.
Confined by nozzle "a inches in diam
eter the water shoots up in solid col
umn to a height of 1872 feet After
furnishing power for the electric light
plant the water runs away in a con-
siderable creek through the city, and
empties into the Missouri River. For
running the electric plant the water is

ton, rheumatism and female weakness,
and who has lately entirely recovered
thereform, was called upon few days
ago by Herald representative whose
attention had been called to her case.
In answer to an inquiry, Mrs. Peterson
said:
eyes, I was sufferer for many years
from nervous attacks, rheuamtism and
other complaints. We, my husband
and 1, expended large sum OF money
in visiting the celebrated doctors OF
Denver, Salt Lake City and San Fran
cisco, but my relief in all cases was
only temporary, and we had nearly
despaired Of my ever recovering my
health, when, one day friend advised
DR.. Williams Pink Pills, saying they
had known of a case very similar TO
mine. where wonderful cure had been
effected by their use.
"Acting upon this advice, as a last
remedy. my husband purchased box
of the Pink Pills more to please my
friend than any belief in the medicine.
However, before the box was half gone
l felt decided change for the better
and after using three boxes was en-.
tirely recovered, and felt as we'll and
strong as ever did.
CDR. Williams Pink Pills have GER
tainly been a wonderfully effective
remedy for me, and I have no hesl-
fancy in recommending them to any
one who was affected as / was"
DR.. Williams Pink Pills are not
looked upon as a patent medicine. but
rather as a prescription. An analysis
of their properties shows that they con-
tain, in condensed form, all the ele-
ments necessary to give new life and
richness to the blood and restore shat
tered nerves. They are an unfailing
specific for such diseases as locomotor
ataxia, partial paralysis, st. Vitus'
dance, sciatica, neuralgia, rheumatism,
nervous headache, the after effects of
la grippe, palpitation of the heart, pale
and sallow compilations, and the tired
feeling resulting from nervous pros
tration, all diseases resulting from
vitiated humors in the blood, such
as scrofula, chronic erysipelas, etc.
They are also specific for
troubles peculiar to females, such
as suppressions, Irregularities. and all
forms of weakness. They build up the
blood and restore the glow of health to
pale and sallow cheeks. They are for
sale by all druggists, or may be had by
mail from DR.. Williams Medicine
Company, Schenectady, N. Y, for 900.

Major Robbins, of the Second Indi'
ana State guards, aide on Gen. Nc
KEGS staff and president OF camp Gray,
has been for two years one OF the most
influential members of the Indiana
legislature and the author of the famous
Indiana Military Law of 1889. Major
Robbins was very sick man up to the
time of taking Paine's celery compound.
In proof of what that remarkable
remedy can do to make a sick person
strong and we'll, Major Robbins letter
from Indianapolis best tells it's own
straightforward story.
81 was troubled with torpid liver,
constipation and accompanying sallow
complexion. while my entire nervous
system was entirely deranged, and ]
was greatly reduced in flesh. While
in this condition I was taken down
with very severe attack OF the grip,
and was, for long time, confined to
the house and my bed.
81 resorted to various medicines and
tonics, and under their temporary in
fuence made several attempts to re-
sumo my business of travelling about in
the interests of A. Steffen, cigar manu-
facturer of this city; but relapse sue
ceeded relapse, and I not only was
obliged to abandon my business, but
growing gradually worse, became ap-
prehensive of the ultimate result.
cat this juncture, my mother-in-
law. who had used your remedy with
gratifying results, prevailed upon me
to commence taking Paine's celery
compound, and it gives me great pleas
ure to state that at once began to feel
its beneficial effects.

XXIith better understanding of the
w transient nature of the many phys
ical ills, which vanish before proper eff
forts-gentle efforts pleasant efforts
rightly directed. There is comfort in
the knowledge, that so many forms of
sickness are not due to any actual dis
ease, but simply to constipated condi-
ton of the system, which the pleasant
family laxative, Syrup of Figs. prompt
~ removes. That is why it is the only
remedy with millions of families, and is
everywhere esteemed so highly by all
who value good health. Its beneficial
effects are due to the fact, that it is the
one remedy which promotes internal
cleanliness without facilitating the
organs on which it acts. 1t is therefore
all important, in order to get it's bene-
fetal effects, to note when you pur-
chase, that you have the genuine arti-
Gle, which is manufactured by the Cali
fornia Fig Syrup Co. only and sold by
all reputable druggists.
If in the enjoyment of good health,
and the system is regular, laxatives or
other remedies are then not needed. If
afflicted with any actual disease, one
may be commended to the most skillful
physicians, but if in need of laxative,
one should have the best, and with the
well-informed everywhere, Syrup of
Figs stands highest and is most largely
