MAS0UERADES AS BOY.
Peterson, la. Miss Runs Away From
Home and Hires Out as
Farm Hand.

Cherokee, Ia, May 2S.--Laura Klass
= girl of IA, daughter of George Klass
of Peterson, Ia, was found in the city

gave up that project and helped her
mother around the house until Tuesday
morning, when she went to school. Be
fore starting she put on suit of her
brothers clothes, under her dress,
wrapping the coat in macintosh.
She remained at school only short
time when she asked to be excused,
stating she did not feel well and wanted
to go home She then went into the
hall of the school house and completed
her male toilet, leaving her dress and
macintosh behind. She also left q
note stating they would find her body
4 IN the Little Sioux river.
s Her father, ignoring the submarine
u theory, found her trail and followed her
! to Cherokee, where she arrived this
morning. When first seen here she was
looking for a job on farm. When she
discovered that her father was after

around town. The father finally caught
her and induced her to return home
with him.

THEY DISCUSS REUNION
Great Question of Uniting the Regular
and Cumberland Presbyterian
Churches Is Up,

Buffalo, May 26.-The great question
overshadowing in Importance all 9TH
ers, the proposed reunion of the Presby-
terrain Church of the United States and
the Cumberland Presbyterian church,
which organized as a separate body in
1910, was the first order of business in
the general assembly of the Presbyte-
rian church today. The discussion
promises to be renewal of the old
struggle between the liberal and con-
sentative elements of the church, led
by President Francis T.. Patton, against
reunion and President James D. Moffat
for reunion. The basis for reunion re-
ported by the committee, which must be
approved by both assemblies, follows:
THE union shall be effected on the
doctrinal basis of the confession OF
faith Of the Presbyterian Church in the
United States, Us revised in 1903 and Of
its other doctriral and ecclesiastical
standards; and the scriptures OF the
Old and New Testaments shall be ac-
l5nowledged as the inspired word of
God and the only infallible rule of faith
and practice"
DR. Patton ana his supporters contend
that the confession OF faith as to the
Calvinistic doctrines is the same as
when the Cumberland church went out
In other words, the revision of three
years ago did not revise in the sense
of changing anything. He will endea-
yor to show that the confessions of the
two bodies differ materially. and that
doctrinally the two churches are so far
apart that it will be dangerous to at
tempt to unite at this time.
DR.. Moffat and his colleagues will
argue that the revision did revise, in
| that misunderstanding were removed.
he-ambiguity of the old confession has
| been taken away and the language of
| the present creed is such that it is
understood by members Of :he Cumber-
land church that they accept it as it is
and are ready to unite on the basis of
the revised confession.
| Other considerations will be urged by
| those favoring the union.

REMARKABLE WELL.
New One at Chamberlain Flows 8,49i
Gallons a Minute.

Chamberlain, S. D., May 23.-The new
artesian well just completed for the
Chamberlain Electric Light company
by Norbeck & Nicholson Of Redheld,
stands at the head of all the artesan
wells ever put down in the artesian
basin Of South Dakota. The well is
an S-inch bore, $50 feet deep, and flows
S.497 gallons of water per minute. With
the pipe wide open it throws u solid
column of water twenty-five feet in the
air from the top OF the pipe. Reduced
to six inches column OF water is
thrown up 60 feet, and reduced to three
inches q stream was today thrown
straight into the air 1853 feet When
closed the we'll has a pressure of more
than 100 pounds to the square inch. The
temperature Of the water is about 80
degrees.
Norbeck & Nicholson have twenty
three well outfits constantly at work in
South Dakota, and they have put down
a total of 1900 wells, but the new well
in this city is the king of them all, nor
is there record of anything even APP
preaching it.
Norbeck & Nicholson put down the
Mcclure well in Stanley county, the
first we'll attempted west Of the Mis-
souri, river, and they announce that
they have in view the drilling Of a
number of wells in the range country,
where until the drilling Of the Mcclure
well 1t was presumed artesian wells
could not be secured. The Mcclure
well has from the first been throwing
up considerable gas, and this has just
been harnessed and the ranch buildings
are being heated lighted and the cook
stoves supplied with the article. Wells
in that section are about 1900 feet in
depth, but new machinery and appli-
ances In drilling originated by Norbeck
& Nicholson have greatly modified the
cost, and 1t is expected that the reduc-
ton in cost will result in the imme-
date sinking of many wells in the
range country
