ARTISAN WELL
 AT POPLAR BLUFF.


 Machinery is on the ground, says the Poplar Bluff Citizen Democrat, to begin the boring of an artesian we'll by the Iron Mountain railroad, near it's shops. A diamond drill and the neces- sary apparatus to work it will be put up within few days and the boring will begin. Accord ing to plans it is expected to go down into the ground 5000 feet, when a supply of water would be reached sufficient to run the whole city.
 It is stated on good authority that qualative analysis of Black river water has shown chemicals destructive to boilers and causing them to rust rapidly, and it is for the purpose of obviating that that the we'll is dug.

A change in the manner of paying the employees of the Rock Island will be made this month. Heretofore it has been the cus- tom of this road to mail checks from the general office to the To- cal cashier and thus to the men, but this month a pay car will ar rive on the 16th from which all employees will receive their June checks. This is four days earlier than the usual pay Gay on the Rock Island and will suit the em- ployes a great deal better.

DROVE WHILE DRUNK
 INTO WHITE RIVER.
Nj. N. Maylue Drowned Satur- day Evening at River Ferry
 Below Batesville.

Last Saturday evening, be- tween ' and 8 o'clock, M. M. Mayhue was drowned in White river at the Allen ferry below town, says the Batesville Bee.
 He had spent the day in town and when he left he was under the influence of liquor. Some apprehension was felt for his safety and Sheriff Morgan hired a party to take him home. But after leaving town they met Ed Stewart, a brother-in-law of Mayhue, who agreed to accom- pany him. Before reaching the ferry Mayhue concluded to come back totown and they separated. He again changed his mind and took the road home, passing MT. Stewart and Will Sellers at the gate. He drove rapidly and it is supposed that when. he reached the river he drove into it. Parties on the other side heard him and the horses strug- gling but could not see them. When Stewart and Sellers came up and found the boat was on the other side it was realized what had happened. The body was found about ? o'clock Sun day morning.
