For ArtesIan Wells.

j. l.. Smith, of Hand Co., in
Dakota Farmer: The cost OF
boring artesian wells is so much
reduced that they're within reach
of every stockman and farmer in
the Dakotas. Men are boring
wells near this section of the
state and guaranteeing flow of
water. They bore and case them
for from $3.50 TO 5000. My idea
is this: If every township in the
counties OF South Dakota would
bond themselves to put Gown six
or eight wells, two or three inch
es is diameter and located so as
to accommodate, as nearly as
possible, every citizen in that
township, it would bring about
one of the greatest changes this
country has ever known. These
wells will cause running streams
or creeks through the country,
filing all the dry lake beds with
water and will keep them full.
The water from these lakes and
streams will seep into the ground
and make under currents, cans
ing a greater growth OF gross
and other vegetation. Theevap-
Grafton from those lakes and
streams would have a tendency
To cause more frequent rains.
After these lakes and streams are
full of water, it twould practically
do away with the freguard tax
we are now paying each year.
matter of prime impor-
tance is this: If we get this
water it will he an easier matter
TO raise trees. Each farmer could
set ont 15 or 20 acres OF trees
and make his taxes many times
lighter than what the water
would cost. / understand that |
for every five acres OF trees a man |
plants, he has forty acres exempt |
from taxation. hope the farm !
ars of Sonth Dakota will give
this subj It their earnest consid-
eration, as those flowing wells
mean more. rain, grass, grain,
trees and greater prosperity.

CAPITAL POSSIBILITIES.

The vote upon resubmitting
the Capital, i'll both houses,
amounting to 100 for, to 21
against, is very conclusive evi-
dence that a general sentiment
for resubnnssion existed in the
state. And since it is known
that resubmission is a fact, one
or two other things are becom-
ing apparent. This big vote,
we believe, did not mean Mitchell
against the world. In fact, it is
not unreasonable to think that
the matter of which town was,
and is now favored, becomes
rather of secondary considera~
ton. The uplifting property
values, improvements. and gen
eral prosperity of South Dakota
during the past two years have
put new life and ambition into
the people. They want railroads
and settlement. How TO obtain
these are paramount to all 9TH
ter questions.
At least one opportunity pre-
scnted itself in this Capital loca-
ton. Two great railway COM
panies appear to want this Cap
ital located on their lines. Why
not raise this question so as to
make a direct contest between
these two railways? 1t was
done..,
And now that it is an accom-
plished fact 60 out among the
people. and surprise yourself by
learning how little they really
care where the capital is located
if they can get railroads and help
to develop their stateM We be
lieve this feeling actually main

tains i'll every section OF this
great state except in the imme-
date vicinity of towns that had
or have a local interest in the
location.
Every city in eastern South
Dakota wants the country west
of them settled and developed
because it is an unwritten law of
commerce in this country that
trade comes from the locality
westward from any city. Hence
every town is interested in the
building of roads and develop
mert of that portion of the state
lying west of them. The central
portion of this state is eager I'd
push ahead, and cannot do 50
without railroads. In the west
or Black Hills section, the ore
dream of their lives has been AMI
is now railroad connections with
the rest OF the state.
So that from all sections arose
the cry to grasp the opportunity
for railroad building and devd-
opment.
This opportunity was made
the most of by legislators il
pitting Mitchell against Pierrt.
Which town will succeed?
That's "a hoss Of another cd
or. " It's up to the railroads 70
show which town shall have the
greatest facilities for the perma-
nent seat of government, and
incidentally, wont a capital |
campaign create enough life and |
interest to bring a lot of new |
people into the state? II

Estate LEGISLATURES +

A capital commission for a
permanent state building is now
a subject of legislative interest.
In this respect a commonwealth
may figure differently from the
Individual. 1t is wise for the
latter to engage in expansion
only when old debts are cleared
up, and his financial condition
warrants it. But in the case of
a town, city or state it is wise
and safe to call upon the future
to bear some of the burdens.
The first bill through the legis-
lature was Senate bill No. 2, pro-
Viding that Circuit court may be
held in other than county seat
towns, when the latter are not
located on a railroad.
A legislative idea is to erect a
capital building out of money
borrowed from the big school
fund. That wonld be practical,
and at the same time proftably
loan some of the money now "
ing idle and drawing no interest.
1t is also suggested to put in
mates of the state penitentiary
at work in the Sioux Falls quar-
les getting out stone.
The actual cash value OF prop
erty Tor assessment is being
talked at Pierre. The Constitu-
''oii says property shall be so
assessed, while the custom has
Deem about one-third to one-half
its real value. The state must

the bigger it grows the more it

under the present rules. If the
colleges insist upon continuing
the game the rules should be re-
constructed SO as to prevent the
present high death rate and

a bill locating the state fair at

DRIVEN MAD BY WHISTLE.
Young Italian Immigrant Hears

becomes Insane.

Driven mad by the shrek of locomo-

seen at close quarters, George Cusic, aged
II years, is at his parents home in South
Sharon, Pa, and DR.. Kennedy, who is
attending him, says that he will probably
be sent to an asylum.
The doctor reports the case as one
of the most peculiar that ever came I'M
der his observation. Cusic immigrated
to America from Italy short time ago.
The boys sister was to arrive one day
recently, and. as is the custom among
the foreigners, a large number OF rela-
tives congregated at the depot to await
the arrival of the train.
Standing on the platform when the
train from New York rounded the curve
was young Cusic. The engineer gave
several shrill blasts of the whistle and
young Cusic was scared out of his wits. !"
1t was the first time he had ever seen
anything like 1t and his reason left him
completely. He was unable to recognize
his sister when she got off the train, and
has since repeatedly refused to believe II
is she.

NEW SONG FROM PARIS.
Ditty which Created n Furor In the
French Capital IL Now Heard
In New York.

New York's latest popular melody
comes from Paris, and has been sung
in French and English In one or two
Of the theaters. II is called "viens,
Poupoule. yiens," which means
Come, Little Chickens, Come" and
the rest OF the words are just about
az sensible. But they made a Juror
In Paris, although il must have taken
a great deal Of suggestion and grim.
zee to have made them so highly ap.
preciated on the boulevards.
Like most Of the popular songs, the
iitty was imported by the proprietor
OF Fifth avenue restaurant. Other
directors Of the restaurant orchestra
import new music every year. Thus
these songs are heard in the res.
taurants before they reach the stages
of the theaters,
But this particular tune, though It
came here from France, is really a
German tune originally. As "komm
Narl'r'cAen. Komm." II waa POPULAR
in Germany for several years before
it reached Paris. Nobody there seems
to have cared whether or not the tune
came from the "enemy's country" And
in New York the tune is accounted
Partisan. and its German origin is un
known.

Exasperated at Laws Delay
Mob Hangs Murderer.

Hamilton, Mont, Oct. 17.-Seven'
ty-tive men, masked and armed,
stormed the jail last night, overpow.
cred the iailer and took out Walter
Johnson, convicted of the murder OF
a 6-year-old boy, and strung him up
to an electric light pole. Before
hanging johnson, the leader OF the
mob asked him II he had anything to
say, but he only pleaded for mercy.
Johnson's victim was Johnnie
Buck. The boy body was horribly
mutilated, and when Johnson was
arrested, he narrowly escaped lynch.
