another Big Well at Chamberlain

The -four mill at Chamberlain has
stuck another big artesian we'll. Work
has been progressing on it for some
months and the third flow was struck
at a depth Of $50 feet on the 9Th. inst.
The new we'll is down something like
800 feet deeper than any of the pre-
vious wells put. down at the mill, of
which there has been four, we think.
AS fast as one we'll would give out or
fail to give sufficient power, the pro-
prietor would sink another-wells
being cheaper than coal. The city
tried to stop him through an injunc-
tion, on the ground that SO much
water running to waste into the
Missouri would effect the well owned
by the city on top the hill-but the
Injunction failed to stick.
The new we'll is said to be down 200
feet lower than the new city we'll
which IN itself was put down to a
greater depth than the old one, which
ceased to flow. There is a consider
able difference in the elevation of the
mill wells and the city we'll. The new
we'll at the mill has an estimated
pressure Of 40 pounds to the square
inch and is down to as low a level as
any well in the county. The question
naturally comes up: whether a strong
flowing well could be secured in this
part OF the county by going down
1900 or l4OO feet. Most OF the wells
south and east Of Kimball are down
about 900 or 1000 feet.
The water in both the Kimball
wells was struck at about 960 feet.
When the old well was put down it
gave a strong flow and about 40 pounds
pressure. The we'll gradually failed
and a second one was drilled about so
feet from it. Water was struck at al
most exactly the same depth and it
rose in the pipe to the same height-a
few feet below the surface. The town
is supplied by pumping witha gasoline
engine into a storage. tank.
There is a difference in elevation OF
425 feet between the Kimball wells
and those at the Chamberlain mill.
1t will thus be seen that il the same
strata Of water vas struck at Cham
berlain that supplies the Kimball well
the pressure at the latter place would
be enormous and yet the water not
rise to the surface in Kimball.
The gravity pressure OF a column Of
water is about one pound per square
inch for every % feet Of height. The
final flow in the new we'll at Chamber
lain was struck at $50 feet, the exact
ldepth at which water was struck in
both the Kimball wells. The differ
ence in elevation is 425 feet.
Divide 425 feet by d pounds and you
have ITO, the exact pressure Of the
new mill well.

D.. There's independence for you;
and we really wish some good brother
would point out why it isn'ta as consist
ent and proper for a newspaper to ex-
press its choice for the capital OF its
state as for a president Of the United

newspaperman should sit up nights
writing hot stuff for Mitchell or Pierre
on his own motion-and tear his
shirt-without money and without
price-butif a newspaperman can tell
us why it isn't as. consistent with
newspaper making to show the faith
that's in it on a state question with
the same enthusiasm it roots for q
man for the white house we'd like to

~PHkRAoH's CORN A FAKE.
,rop Proves TO Have Come From Seed

Crop Proves TO Have Come From Seed
a Boy Planted.
Stray Stories: Some time ago there was
a wonderful story in the European Jour-
nails about certain grains Of ancient Egyp-
tian corn which had been planted In Ger
man. and had come TO life.
The grains. they said, had been found in
an Egyptian sa%rcophagus and had been
planted by a Dresden florist. Some days
later the corn appeared above ground,
much to the surprise OF scientists, who did
not suppose that there was any life In
grains which were from 1900 to 5000 years
old. The corn, however, was certainly
growing, and even the most incredulous
among them soon became convinced that
grains have a lease CT life to which there
Is practically no limit.
Alas! A boy employed by the Dresden
florist has now confessed that he planted
some other grains IN the same place where
his master had planted the Egyptian ones
and only a few hours after the florist COM
pleted his work. This was sad news for
the scientists and for the numerous four
nalists who had written enthusiastically
about the miraculous qualities Of the an
cient grains.

Coilier's Weekly: President Roose-
Welt asked Joseph Folk TO conduct the
trials OF the United States postal
boodlers. Mr.. Folk declined, and he
was right; his own Doodle cases out
I'm Missouri are just as important ma

eminent. But IL is a pity this young
circuit attorney could not take this
chance to present on a more conspic-
uous stage his method of prosecuting
crimes against the state. Very simple,
very natural, ii is (perhaps th~erefore)
revolutionary. Circuit Attorney Folk
defends the state.
II is a well known principle of our
penal code that the purpose of punish
ment by the state Is not vengeance,
but the restraint of others from like
crimes. Few prosecutors al this
view. They attack" the defense, de

and there is where they weaken their
cases. For the defense also has the
personal appeal, and theirs is strong

Everybody knows the great value Of
this remedy in the household. but every.
body does not know that the limitations
OF it, which some se~cond-class druggists
~dis1onorahly palm off On their custom
ers. have little or no value. What should
be understood by the public is that it is
not a mere question of comparative value
between "Naseline" and the limitations.
but that the limitations DO not effect tho
wonderful healing results Of the world
renowned "Nascline," and that they are
not the same thing nor made in the same
way. Besides this, many of the imita-
tons are harmful, irritant and not safe
to use, while true Vaseline is perfectly
harmless.
Perfect safety therefore lies in buying
only original bottles and other packages
put up by the Chesebrough Manufacture
ing Co. Attention is called to their

OVER THE HILLS TO ENGLAND.

OVER THE HILLS TO ENGLAND.
The next morning 1 awoke lust at
daybreak and rolled out of the truss
Of hay In which, wrapped In a blanket,
l had slept like a king. At the furthest
end of the hayloft the master of Macn-
gwyn and his son snored peacefully.
The farmhouse consisted OF but one
apartment, and had been left to the
women folk. Faint streaks Of day
showed themselves through the crew
ices Of n shutter at my elbow. / flung
1t back and leaned out into the cool
morning air. What was my next move
to be? l drew in deep draughts OF the
cold, sweet breath of the mountain,
and set myself to beat out a safe
course for Enid.
Mistress Whitgift," thought I at
last, is the only sure harhor for her
at present"
Mrs. Whitgift was Ends ~godlnother.
She was no connection by blood, but
had been the bosom friend of Ends
mother. She belonged to an ancient
family Of Montgomery and had married
over the marches, her husband having
been Aubrey Whitgift, a gentleman of
Salop. Aubrey Whitgift was killed
fighting under the Earl of Derby at
Wiggan Lane, and his estates passed
to q relative who sided with the oppo-
site party, and his widow was reduced
to narrow circumstances. She now
lived in a small manor-house some
where between Ludlow and Cleobury
Mortimer; and when first l saw Enid
the latter was returning from q visit to
Mistress Whitgift.
But the thing craved wary handling.
To conduct Enid thither meant to
march to a spot within a score of miles
of my w countryside, where every
one knew me for a long stretch round.
| was just seeing my way through
tie matter when the doc OF the house
opened and a grey figure came out.
NO" a L from above; mo. Your
dark-red riding dress, IL you please"
I ride about a wild mountain"
said Enid looking up and meeting my
eyes with her sweet grave smile. otis
the only handsome dress 7 have. And
why not h~omespun?"
Very WELL" I replied, "homespun for
today IL you wish It. But the fitness of
things will demand other attire when
we get out of the hills, II you are to ride
Whitesock unnoticed."
/ ran down to her and we walked out
on the hillside. and / old her OF what
l had been thinking. Mistress Whit

Cuba and Roosevelt Win.

Golfers Weekly: 1.-THE president insists
congress shall give Cuba a measure of
reciprocity" say our washington corre-
%spondent. Congress will do as he says.
The situation exists merely because Mr..
Roosevelt is determined to carry out the
pledge given by Mr.. Mckinley.
Public interest has palled. The sem
ntors and representatives who led the in
surgent resistance with such uncompro-
missing vigor are tired and willing to let
bygones be bygones. Some of the men
from the northwest are disposed to keep
up the fight for the sugar beet, but they
hardly know why, and II Is not likely
they will do more than make a protest to
establish their regularity on the matter.
They will find when they come to con
gress that they will have little of the sup
port that enabled them to defeat Mr..
Roosevelt in 1902.
"Candidly. their position, like that Of
most of congress, either in the majority
or the minority, Is an unwillingness to do
anything to oppose the set wish If the
president. Men In the great legislative
branches of the government appreciate
more than anybody else just how power
full a president Is. He can do things. The
individuals In congress want things done.
Therefore, why fight longer on a harm
less proposition like reciprocity for Cuba?

Farmers Course in Live Stock Judoino,

January 4 to is, 1904. Offered by
animal ~husoandry department OF the
Iowa State college. In order to meet
The urgent demand for more thorough
knowledge regarding the most desirable
types M methods Of breeding and
feeding live stock the animal hus-
bandry department of the Iowa State
college offers a two weeks course In the
Judging, feeding, breeding and care and
management Of live stock for the bene-
fit OF all farmers or men interested in
the production of live stock. This
course is not intended for the young
man who has the time and opportunity
for taking n more thorough course such
as can be had in the regular courses Of
the state agricultural colleges. 1t Is
intended specially FOR that large mass
of men who, on account of business OPP
erations and other reasons, cannot
avail themselves of the opportunities
Of taking a full course In agriculture,
This Is the fourth year thai this
course has been offered by the Iowa
State college. 1t has met with such
popular favor in past years that an
other commodious stock Judging pa
vilion has been erected for the accom-
mediation Of those who attend so that
the college is now prepared to handle
1000 students.
In addition to the regular corps OF
instructors the services of some Of the
most prominent live stock experts on
the continent have been secured. Each
instructor will be a specialist In his
particular line, a man who knows hia
work thoroughly.
A slaughter test will I've included.
Animals representing each Of the vari-
Gus market classes of cattle will be
inspected on foot, then killed, cut up
and discussed in detail by John Cos
ling, Kansas City, Mo-, q man OF wide
experience and a master of his work.
A new and important feature OF this
years work will be an advanced course
for the benefit of those who have at
tended In previous years. This will in
clude q critical study of the charac-
teristics of the various breeds Of do
nestle animals, points to be observed
In the building up OF pure bred herds,
with lectures on the principles Of ami
NAL breeding, the feeding and care and
management of all classes OF animals.
Three days Zach will be devoted to
the study OF horses, cattle, sheep and
swine. In addition TO the large collec-
ton of animals owned by the college
which includes the international prize
winners, arrangements are being made
TO have a large amount Of high class
stock sent In from the best known
herds INT flockS in the west.
Applications should be forwarded at
once as the number admitted will of
necessity have to be limited. An en-
trance fee OF 50 will be charged TO COW
er the expenses OF securing outside lee
turers and specimens OF stock not
owned by the college.
A school in corn judging will be con-
Quoted at the same time by the agron-
omy department.
Arrangements have been made so
