The new artesian wei put down to

city. furnishes an interesting study for
those who are interested in matters re-

derlies great portion of the North

tune OF the city Of Chamberlain to fur
nish the two greatest gushers in the
world in the wells put down to furnish
the motive power for the city Touring
mills and the city electric lighting
plant. The new WELL however. IL in no

great impetus to the recently-reviyed

Republican Ticket Wins by Good
Majority.

Majority.
Portland. Me-, Sept. 12.-The Repub-
licans elected their state ticket yes-
terday by plurality over the Demo-
cratic candidates OF over $4,000. The
vote was almost as large as four years
ago and the returns so far as received,
compared with 1896, show Republican
losses OF about 10 per cent, or Demo-
cratic gain of about 10 per cent. The
result must be in a great measure
gratifying to both parties. To the Re-
publlicans. because they polled almost
as lalrge a vote as in 1896, and to the
Democrats because of the heavy
gains over that year. While thousands
of voters who. in 1896. deserted the
Democratic ranks. returned to the
fold yesterday. yet the Republicans
were able to make good most Of the
loss.
The entire Republican ticket. headed
by John p. Hill Of Augusta for gov
ernor. was elected, as were all four OF
