Attorncy-General Monnett is still
pounding away at the Standard Oil
company, and has filed motion in the
supreme court asking that the order
appointing Allen t. Brinsmaid referee
in the suits instituted against the
Standard companies be rescinded and
the testimony be taken in open court.
The attorney-general seems to have be-
come impatient with the proceedings
of the hearing before the referee. He
probably sees his case is hopeless and
desires TO harrass the company as
much as possible. Monnett may posi-.
bly, think he has an excuse for his ac
lion, but he cannot possibly accomplish
anything that will benefit the people
and he should be called off.

WRESTLING WELLS.
Natural Harometcrs which EOreteII Storms
In Wisconsin.

Natural barometer " hich lCrete1t storms
IN Wisconsin.
\ freak of nature which IS attracting
considerable attention Is q series Of
blowing or "whistliug" wells located
III the northern part of the town Of Eu-
reka, IN Polk county, Wis. There are
six of these hysterical wells, ranging in
depth from 100 TO 100 feet. The one
owned By James Collin exhibits most
remarkable features. This well is 100
feet deep and was dug 10 years age.
The first 20 feet was hardpan and the
rest coarse gravel.
Before raiustorm the wind blows
out of this we'll with great force, max
ing a roaring sound that can be heard a
long distance. The wind Is so hot that
water placed on the cover of the well
Will boil. The wind blows out only be-
fore storm, and the severity and du-
ration Of the storm are always III exact
proportion to the force of this current
and its duration before the storm COM
mences. 1t is therefore an accurate and
trustworthy barometer, or vice versa,
with equal accuracy, but remains quiet
IN settled weather.
In winter a current of air is drawn
in before a change Of weather Just as
fOrcibly as 1t blows out III hot weather.
This current Will freeze the water 120
feet from the surface OF the earth as
quickly as it would at the surface, and,
though many attempts have been made
TO use n pump in the well, they have
all failed, and a number of pumps of
different makes have been destroyed by
the water freezing and bursting the
cylinders and pipes.
The other five wells, which resemble
this one i'll many respects, are all locat-
ed within the radius of about one mile
and vary i'll depth from $50 to 100 feet.
All sorts of theories have been adj
vanced concerning an underground pas
sage, but no outlet has ever been discov-
cred, and if there is one it must be a
great distance away III order TO fOreteu
the approach Of storms so long time
i'll advance. -Philadelphia Record.

The SchoOlyard.

To spend large sums of money on
architectural beauties and stone cary
ings of historic ornaments-which have
but little attraction for children-to
make q school building look like pal
ace and then to leave the schoolyard
looking like desert or the top of a BIZ
luminous lake, without single attrac-
tive flower or one bit of beauty, are in
constituencies which seem possible only
in the modern system of education.
Weather beaten houses in the country,
log cabins on the frontiers, railroad sta
tions in the Great American desert and
all over our country have their beauti-
full flower gardens, and it refreshes
ones soul to see them, but there is no
such source of refreshment, inspiration
and instruction where children are be-
ing educated in the essentials. Hen

he opened the front door with some
difficulty and softly toiled up the stairs,

caution.
Thank goodness she was asleepl
He dropped into chair, and, with
ont taking off his coat or hat, began to
remove his shoes. One he placed with
great care upon the floor, but, alas, as
he took off the other it slipped out of
his hand and fell with Il loud noise.

She looked at him and then at the
