water to the surface, but from which a
steady stream could be pumped after 1t
had been drawn down to certain level.
They are called negative artesian
wells" and are very valuable II they can
be cheaply pumped. There are thou
sands of other places in cienegas, gravel
washes and other drainage lines from
large water sheds where enough water
can be had to feed large pump, but In
which it would not pay to put wind
mill, because Of it's deficient power.
1t must be RENE mbered that the nine
dollars an acre represent water lifted a
hundred feet. At one-half the lift the
cost would be reduced, nearly one-half.
and at twenty-five feet the cost would
be little above much of the cheapest
water We have south of Tehachapi. For
low lifts a centrifugal pump is much
more economical than piston pump. In
many places where the lift would be only
fifteen, or even ten, feet from flowing
stream or laguna upon good alfalfa land
water pumped in this way would be al
most as cheap as 1t could be delivered by
any ditch we'll enough made to keep
cheaply in order and guard the head
works against floods.
Almost every pumping device I have
ever seen is working against useless
amount of friction. The carelessness OF
hte owner Of the land should not be
charged up against pumping. Makers ol
machinery and those who set 1t up also
seem careless about this though 1t II
often difficult to convince the ordinary
man that windmill pump with a two
inch cylinder can lift the water much
more easily through a four-inch pips
than through one of two inches. H.
thinks it has to lift all the extra weight

LU1PY JAWED CATTLE,
The State Board of Health After a
Carload

Health Officer Hielscher received a
letter few days ago from the Sec
rotary of the state board of health in
forming him that it was thought that
a carload of cattle affected with lumpy
jaw had been shipped to Mankato
from the Twin City stock yards, and
asking him to make an investigation.
The car was thought to have
arrived on August oath. Dr..
Hielscher visited all of the
depots and learned that carload Of
cattle had arrived over the Omaha
road Aug. 23rd from the twin cities
and one Aug. oath consigned to Chas.
j. Macbeth. He also learned that
one car was unloaded and the stock
driven up Front street in the day
time, and the other car unloaded in
the night and the cattle driven up
the railroad track to the packing
house.
DR.. Hielscher pursued his investiga-
tiOns at the packing house, but could
find no heads or any trace of the
cattle.
Mr.. Macbeth denies that any
diseased cattle were received by him,
and says that what Strengthening he
had to do at that time was done by
day light.
The drove is believed to have num-
bered about twenty head, and what
became of it is a mystery that the
state board of health will probably
look into further.

Pursuit.

The Belgrade church was the scene
of much excitement on Sunday night
last on account of an elopement OF
two young people from the church
aforesaid.
Miss Eva Whitcomb, whose home is
in Hebron, NicOllet county, had formed
an acquaintance with young man
whose name is Morrow. They had
become enamored of each other some
time during the summer, and the
father Of the young lady had sought
to uuench the fame of love kindled SO
prematurely.
The young lady took umbrage at
this parental interference and re-
paired to the home of her brother-in-
law, VIM. Spears, with whom she re-
NAMED for some time.
On the aforesaid Sunday night she
made the request that she be per-
mitted to attend church, and Mr..
Spears kindly complying conveyed the
young lady, together with members
of his own family, to the church,
where they remained until the con-
gregation were dismissed, and then
the excitement began.
Mr.. Spears had been made the Gus
todian of Miss Whitcomb while she
remained in his domicile. Young
Morrow and Miss WhitcOmb had, by
some means best known to them
selves, consummated a plan by which
they would escape from the tolls of
parental interference, and while
Spears was getting his family ready
to return to his home Miss Whitcomb
and young Morrow escaped from the
custody of her brother-in-law and ran
down the street to a point where a
rig was in waiting to convey them be-
yond the reach Of opposition. Mr..
Spears entered upon vigorous chase,
but the fugitive came out ahead.
