HOURS In WELL
$. OAK. FARMER WALKED INFO IT
Used in u License Cam
pafgn.

Special to The Journal.
Madison, S. D., March 14-Casper Cas-
suit, a prominent farmer OF this country,
residing near Ramona, had an interesting
experience. He walked to Ramona from
his farm. which is but two miles away,
and from there took the train to Madi-
friends. He returned to Ramona on the
afternoon train. and renewed his ac-
Guaintance with friends at that point be-
fore starting for his home, which he did
at about II o'clock. From that moment
he disappeared completely.
Nearby towns were communicated with
the next day. and a party organized that
searched in vain for several hours. He
was finally found standing in four feet
of water ait the bottom of a twenty foot
we'll on the outskirts of Ramona. a we'll
which had long ia lien into disuse.
The man was almost gone with his
eighteen hours of exposure to the cold
water, and a physician worked over hin,
some time before he was fully restored:
The incident took place just in time TO
enter into the spring license campaign,
and advocates of license are pointing to
this horrible example of the distressing
effects of cold water on the human. sys-
tenn Prohibitionists say that if Cas-
per had not toyed o'erlong at the court OF
Bacchus he would never have tumbled
into the we'll, while the license men coun-
ter with the proposition that if Casper
had not been full of the. ardent ne never
could have stood the exposure. In the
meantime the issue is unsettled.

Building, Tas1ingtoss.
Washington March 14.-Representative
Hepburn of Iowa is opposed to the irri-
cation bill, and since he is a powerful
man on the floor, his opposition will count
for something. 1t is still supposed that
the speaker is also hostile. AT the same
time, however, the friends of the bill
think that if the house campaign is prop
erly conducted the bill can be got through.
Senator Proctor has given notice in the
senate that as soon as one Or two pend
ing bills, ship subsidy among them, are
out of the way, he will move to make
the oleo bill the senate's unfinished bust
ness. That will mean that the bill ought
to get through the senate and be ready
for the presidents signature not later
than the middle Of April. The friends of
the bill are very hopeful.
Alex Mckenzie, national committeeman
from North Dakota, will leave Washing
ton in q few days for. New York. He has
been here for more than q month.
When the river and harbor bill reaches
the senate, it is the purpose of Senator
to offer an amendment pro-
Vid1ng for survey in the interest of the
drainage of the Red River of the North,
to prevent spring. floods. This survey
is all that the friends of the drainage
proposition want at this time.
Major A. w. Edwards, editor of the
Fargo Forum, expects to be in Washing
ton for several weeks longer. His can
didacy for the post of first assistant post
master general seems to be catching on
nicely.

set, was asked to go on the conference. but
he declined, and instead nominated the COM

ference.
Representative Miner Of Wisconsin is no

!. CHARGE RIDICULOUS
German Ambassador Hardly Helped
Bryan Two Years Ago.

Bryan Two ears AGO.
Special to The Journal.
Chicago, March IA special from
Washington to the Record Herald this
morning says: The so-called charges
brought against Ambassador Won Hole
ben by a discharged employe of the Ger
man embassy are considered in official
circles too ridiculous to merit serious dis
cussion.
One of these charges is that in the
1900 campaign DR.. Won Holleben used his
influence to defeat Mckinley and secure
the election of Bryan, hoping that Ger
man interests would stand better chance
at the hands Of the man from Nebraska.
The absurdity of this is self-evident.
Every foreign nation looked with fear
and trembling upon the possibility that
Mr.. Bryan might become president. DR..
White, the discharged employe, who
trumps up these charges, is highly edu-
Gated, with an unfortunate7d disposition.
Since his discharge from the embassy he
has been crafty bitter against Dr. Won
Holleben. He paraded himself as the
Journalistic attache" of the embassy,
and for this reason was discharged.
