WATER
A Fine Supply of Excellent Soft
Water Obtained at the
City Well

During the week MIR. Bradley, who
has charge of the work of boring the
city we'll, commenced to pump to test
the supply of water, and the indica-
tions for the first few days were not
encouraging, as it appeared that about
25 or 80 gallons a minute was the ca
pacity of the well-at the latter rate
the pump exhausting the supply in
short time. After day of pumping,
however, the supply began to increase
and 80, 40, 60 and IS gallons minute
were pumped without seeming in any
manner to affect the flow, and yester-
day the pump was set for 100 gallons
a minute and kept going all the day
and no diminition of the flow could be
discerned. The engineers estimate of
the supply necessary for a place the
size of Milbank was 100, 900 gallons a
day Or allowing for a large growth of
! the city 200, 900, so that the supply
seems to be already attained, but it is
probable that this flow can be largely
increased, and limited only by the ca
pacity to pump.
The water is nice and soft and is
undoubtedly of the same vein as that
of the deep we'll on the Bouck farm
just south of town, from which sup
plies of soft water have been secured
for the city in drouth periods. The
water is muddy from the blue clay
through which it comes, but it is be-
lieved that this will gradually disap-
pear, and the water become clear af-
ter some time pumping; we understand
the pump will be kept at work for
a period with this end in view.
1t is believed that the city has made
a valuable find in the water vein it
has struck.

With the adoption of the pri-
mary system of nominating coun-
ty officers, which was settled by
the county central CON mittee last
Saturday. it is needless to say
the ERALD-ADvANCE is highly
pleased and regards it's advocacy
of the system as being endorsed,
but to no person is credit more
honestly or properly due than to
Mr.. G. S. Amsden, who made
the original suggestion for the
adoption of the system this fall,
and who has persistently fol-
lowed up the matter until he
brought it to successful issue.
With the bitter factional fight
and strong opposition exhibited
on the part of some, Mr.. Ans
den has carried the proposition
through TO success, and is en-
titled to the congratulations of
his friends and the advocates
of the primary system for the
splendid manner in which he
made it win.

WARNINGS:
A CRATER Takes. in People who
suppose They are Giving To
II Worthy Cause

Last Thursday there arrived in
town a smooth-faced, well-built man,
clothed in black, with somewhat
clerical appearance, and who claimed
to be representing charity institu-
tiOn in Sioux City, which provided
home for young women who had
fallen from the path of virtue, but
were willing to renounce a vicious
life. He gave the name of j. H.
Gilbert and claimed to be the hus-
band of the matron of the House of
Rescue, No. 434S Lincoln Ave-, Sioux
City. He had secured the names of
the pastors of the Methodist and Con-
greg ational churches on his paper
with don alton of a dollar, and this
was followed up by contributions
from a number of other citizens until
the man had secured quite little
sum. He was still making his rounds
when the editor of the HERALD-AD
VANCE, who had been one of his
dupes, learned that he had been seen
in an intoxicated condition the night
before, and, starting an investig alton,
soon discovered it to be a fact, and
also that the fellow was making the
round of the bar about every half
hour. We secured an interview with
the solicitor, who acknowledged that
he INDUCED in whiskey drinking, but
claimed that he had always used
whiskey, that the water had disagreed
with him and he was really taking it
| as medicine. He asserted that the
institution for which he was collecting
received every dollar which he col
lected, and was worthy institution.
However, we have since learned from
other and what we believe to be re-
liable sources, that the institution
| itself is fraud. and it is hardly to
be believed that a worthy institution
could be managed properly and have
such character in connection with
it as this man Gilbert proved himself
to be in convers alton with one of our
merchants, to say nothing of his
drinking habits.
| We advised him to discontinue his
work here, which he did, and left for
the west on the afternoon train. 1t is
| suggested that should the fellow make
| his appearance in other towns, he be
stopped in his work, as he is un-
| doubtedly a CRATER of the meanest
kind

A Sisseton man by the name
of L. F. Hanson, who recently
fell heir to an estate of $4,000
went out and celebrated the
event and in returning home, he
got into the wrong house and
the wrong bed, and a couple of
fellows dragged him out and
beat him so that he died in forty
eight hours. William Fitzpatrick
is consequently being held oD
charge of murder and Arthur
Jourdain as an accomplie. Mr..
Hanson S legacy proved his death
warrant.
