Life of Artesian Wells.

There has always been more or lesE
discussion as to the longevity of artes->
ian wells, some maintaining that they
would last forever with the flow undim-
inished even though other wells were
put down in the immediate vicinity.
Recently Prot ]. E. Todd, OF the state
University at Vermilian, issued bull
jetin on the water recources OF this state
and in course of his statement upoa thea
exhaustion OF the artesian basin Prof.
Todd has the following to say:
multiplicity of wells must tend to
exhaustion. If, however, the loss by
wells and leakage does not exceed the
annual supply which enters the forma-
tion in the west, an equilibrium may be
gained that will be as constant as in q
river and may be expected to have
similar fluctuations. At present the
pressure in the wells in the area dis
cussed is generally slightly declining.
There is no apprehension of early fall
ure."
Previously the geologists we're
against the proposition that the artes-
ian wells ever gave out or that their
force diminished by the proximity of
other wells, but later investigation
has brought to light the fact that the
present wells are susceptible to the
drains made upon their power by the
addition of other wells.

LoCoMoBlLE FOR MITCHELL
DR.. Bobb Has Invested in Horse
less Carriage and Will Use 1t
In His Practice.

When DR.. B. A. Bobb makes his
visits to his patients in the future it
will not be behind pair of horses but
in the new contrivance known as the
locomobila or steam carriage. The
Dr's. new carriage arrived Saturday
evening via the Omaha road and he was
busy setting it up Monday. There
were no directions with it and he with
an assistant had to use their own in
genuity to get it together.
The locomotion is produced by the
aid of steam which is made with gaso-
line fire. The carriage is set on bicycle
wheels and weighs about 600 pounds.
1t is very attractive looking piece of
machinery and will be quite an attrac
tion on the streets.
1t will be quite convenient in the
doctors practice and will enable him to
cover the ground quite fast, the rate
of it's highest speed being about 40
miles an hour.

GOOD WAO OF MONEY

Mitchell Has Its First HOrSeleSS

GOES TO REFORM SCHOOL.
Young Titze Gets Term in the
State Reformatory Out at
PlankintOn.

August Titze, who was arrested on
Wednesday of last week under charge
of having stolen 1919 from Joseph Wee
pie, was brought before Judge Abbey
Saturday afternoon and the facts in
the case were there aired. The father
had made application previously to have
the boy sent to the reform school, and
SO the charge OF stealing was not pressed
against him. Judge Abbey, how
ever, had the evidence on the case
laid before him by the witnesses who
had come up to give their testimony.
The facts have already been stated in
these columns that Titze was working
for Mr.. Weepie, whose house had been
burned but short time before, and the
money, which had been received for in
surance, had been put in q safe place
for keeping in another house which Mr..
Weepie had bought and was intending
to move over to his farm. The boy
was sent back to the house one day on
an errand and it is presumed took the
money at that time, as it was gone on
the return of the family. The money it
seems was left in bureau drawer and
the boy was going to move it with the
assistance OF Weepie's two boys. Titze
sent them away short distance on an
errand and one of the boys said he saw
Titze take something from the bureau
drawer and afterward saw him digging
in the garden, but said nothing about it
to his father.
A number of witnesses in Baker town
ship gave their testimony which was
in the main circumstantial, although i,
was stated by one OF the witnesses that
young Titze admitted to him that he
did take the money and afterwards de-
MED having said so. The evidence
was clearly against the boy and it was
decided by,the court to send him to the
reform school, as his age WOULD prevent
his confinement in the penitentiary
For boy only l6 years old he has
had more or less trouble in his neigh
borhood and it was only g year or two
ago that he was arrested as an accom-.
plice in killing horse for one of the
neighbors.
Mr.. Weepie feels pretty good over
the recovery of his money, it having
been found in the garden at spot
near whore one of the children saw
Titze digging one day after the rob
berry, the presumption being that he
was then hiding the money.

trains being run from Mason City, Iowa,
Wells, Minn., Bristol, Chamberlain,
Mitchell, Yankton and Sioux Falls.
The train from Chamberlain passed
through here at 7:l0. The six cars were
pretty we'll loaded, and even more cars
were picked up on the way south. An
other train was started from here
and went by the way of Canton and
picking up the Sioux Falls train, The
day was pleasant and cool, heavy rain
being encountered at several places
along the road. A little after noon
heavy thunder shower came up in
Sioux City which had the etfect of put
ting stop to the base bail game be,
tween the Sioux Falls team and the
Marquetts. of Chicago. Later in the
afternoon the Sioux City and Des-
Moines, Iowa, teams played a champ
ionship game of the western league.
The grounds were covered with an
inch or two of mud, and it was evident
that it would be erra'ic ball playing.
Il was ludicrous to see the attempts of
the players go for a ball on the dia-
mond, for about the time they would
attempt to catch it they would get
mixed up with the mud. The score
stood Il to 3 in favor of Sioux City, only
six innings being played, as the game
was Interrupted by rain, one inning be-
ing played as the drops came down
pretty heavy. The rain spoiled the
pleasures of tha day and the people
were ready to go home long before the
trains st@rt.d. The first train arrived
in Mitchell about o'clock and the Sec
ond one got in an hour later. The last
excursion the Milwaukee road will run
in this part of the state will be one to

WILL SLASH GRAIN RATES.
No Rates We're Agreed Upon by the
Western Railroads at the St.
Paul Conference.

Reference was made in these columns
few days ago concerning the meeting
of the western railroad officials at st.
Paul for the purpose of fixing the rates
on grain. The fact that the roads
we're unable to agree on rates makes it
possible that there will be rate war
between the competing roads for busi-
ness this fall. The Sioux City Journal
contains reference to the results of the
meeting in its Saturday issue and has.
the following to say:
The grain meeting OF the western traf-
&c officials at ST. Paul ended without
any understanding being reached other
than now in effect and rate war is to
be expected. The roads represented
we're the Omaha, Great Northern, MIN,
neapolis and ST. Louis, Burlington
Cedar Rapids ard Northern, North
western, Milwaukee and Illinois Cent
raj.
The lines running into Chicago
direct from the corn helt asked the
northern lines toincrease the rate on
grain. They made complaint that the
existing rates from the corn belt and
South Dakota to the twin cities and
Duluth was so low that practically all
grain was being diverted that way and
that Chicago lines were not getting
their share. The rates favor the north
ern lines by to cents.
The northern lines refused to increase
the rate. They held that the haul was
shorter and that the advantage was
honest. The protesting lines threat
ened to retaliate unless their demand
was granted. But this possibility had
no fears for the short carriers. The
latter held that they would adhere to
their deferential of from l to 3 cents,
and reduce. rates accordingly.
