The malodorous Esterhazy had an
experience in London the other day
that must have affected even his cal.
leused feelings. He was walking along
the street between two friends when
he was recognized, A few people be-
gan TO groan at him, and, attracted
by the noise, crowd Instantly sur
rounded him and the groaning and
crowding grew to such threatening
proportions that Esterhazy made for
the nearest cab. Unable to force his
way through the crowd to the cab, he
turned along the pavement in the di-
rection OF Oxford circus, completely
surrounded by groaning crowd,
which only let him move forward very
slowly, At the circus the police gent
Iy, out firmly, "passed along" the
crowd into different directions. Ester
haEy was then able to jump into a cab
and drive rapidly off.

the announcement of work on the Bur-

go on to Sioux Falls, whence they will
bc distributed to their destinations.

Small Artcsian Wells a Success.


Kimball, S. d., Sept ga feature
OF the artesian well problem which un'
doubtedly will have a great influence
on the future prosperity of this coun'
try, and more particularly Brule coun'
ty, is the artesan wells OF small diam
eter which are being put down in this
county at the present time. Only with
in the past two weeks have two wells
been completed in the immediate Vi
cinity of Kimball, which are of con.
siderable note, and there are others IL
the county like them, with still Others
in process of construction.
One of the wells referred to has
diameter of two inches at the bottom
and three inches at the top, and is $50
feet deep. BY actual measurement il
flows seventy-tive gallons of water pei
minute and has good, strong pres
sure. While it was put down princi-
pally for a stock well, yet it furnishes
abundance of water for moderate irri-
cation. The total cost was only about
800 and the well more than doubles
the value of the farm on which it is
located.
AS before mentioned, there are sew
eral Of these small wells being made at
the present time i'm different parts of
the country, and no reason is apparent
why they should not be just as success
full as previous ones.
