ARTESIAN WELL BRINGS I'M
PROVEMENT IN DRINKING
WATER.

Boykns. Va, Jan. 25.-Our popular
merchant and enterprising townsman,
Mr.. w. w. White. has had bored in
the yard of his attractive residence an
artesian we'll. 1t flows about ten gall
Ions a minute. The water seems to be
perfectly pure.
This is a new departure for this town,
the drinking water of which, until q
few years ago, had been obtained from
dug wells. In consequence the health
of the place was very poor. There was
then introduced the driven well, TO be,
however. not deeper than fifteen or
twenty feet. In so far as the inhabi-
tants adopted this last method, and it
prevails almost exclusively there was
very marked Improvement In the
health OF the citizens. 1t is now firm
ly believed that the flowing we'll will
show further Improvement in this re-
spect, as well as making possible
many of the advantages enjoyed by
those having city water.
Messrs. Richard T.. Ellis and son. j.
Gordon Ellis, of Branchvillc, Virginia,
are the gentlemen who did the work.

Irs GROWTH PHENOMENAL

Having reached another of its red-let-
pardoned for referring briefly this morn
ing to itself. A year ago yesterday the
G o b o was a twenty page newspaper
and its pages carried forty-seven and
one-half columns of advertising. Yes
terday the paper was twenty eight
page one-the largest printed in st. Paul
and. it carried eighty columns Of ad-
vertising. That this paper has been
growing steadily, even rapidly, since last
March has been pretty we'll known in
this community, but that It should plunge
ahead at the rate indicated by yester-
days business was scarcely expected by
those who are directing 1t.
It's business growth, in an advertising
sense, is. of course, due to it's increased
circulation. which has become larger
every day than it was the day before for
the past 10 days. The Increase Of the
G o b e S subscription list has been es-
peClally large IN the Fural QlStFlctS Oh
Minnesota and North Dakota, one agent
a few weeks ago having sent in forty
eight new names in a single day. With
the advertiser it is circulation which
counts-real paid circulation-and this
is Just what the G l o b e has, and not a
circulations made up one-half of sworn
statement and the remainder of bluff
and buster
The merchant who is interested in cir
culation has only to go among the news
dealers this morning and ask what pa
per the workingmen and the German
Americans bought on Sunday to find out
what he most wants to know.

CONE DAY"

Some day, some day. or you, or alone.
Must look upon the scenes we two have
known,
Must tread the self-same paths we two
have trOd,
And cry in vain to one who is with God
To lean down from the Silent Realms and
say,
II love YOU" in the old familiar way.
Some day-and each day, beauteous
though it be-
Brings closer that dread hour for you or
me.
Is yet secret foe who does us wrong.
Speeding us gaily, though he well doth
know
Of yonder pathway where but one may
go.
Oh. heart of mine, through all these per-
feet days,
Whether the white Decembers or green
There runs dark thought like a creeping
snake,
Or like black thread, which by some
mistake
Life has strung the pearls of happy
A thought which borders all my Joy with
tears.
Ay, one will go. To go is sweet, 1 wis
Yet God must needs invent some special
bliss
To make His Paradise seem very dear
To one who goes and leaves the other
here,
To sever souls so bound by love and time.
For any one but God, would be crime.
{
Yet Death will entertain his own / think.
To one who stays, life gives the gall to
drink.
To one who stays, or be it you or me,
There waits the Garden of Gethsemane
o dark, inevitable and awful day,
When one of us must go and one must
stay!

CAPT. CARRIERS CASE.

After months of silence and inaction,
and apparently only after public senti-
ment no longer admitted Of further 81
lence or inaction, the announcement is
now made semi-officially that the at
torney general will soon report on the
case of Capt Carter. Carter Is accused
of having stolen millions of dollars from
the United States. In all public discus
sion Of his case his guilt has been as
sumed, and the only question which re-
mains to be settled is assumed to he tbe
amount of the national funds which the
captain and his confedeEates got away
with.
Our dispatches today indicate that At
torney General Griggs has not entirely
lost sight of his case, but may reason
ably be expected to make a report there
on "soon." This somewhat vague assur-
ance is accompanied by the further state
ment that no one knows just when the
attorney general will make his report.
If this man had been a poor devil who
had run away with the moneys of the
general government to the extent of
few hundred or a few thousand dollars,
