Pierre, S. D.. April 3.-After twenty

chases made by spectators in close
touch with the Milwaukee railroad com,

that 100 miles of railroad will BE- laid

doubtful if the North Western road will
allow the Milwaukee to invade this rich
territory alone. For years it has been
claimed by North W estern officials that
whenever the Milwaukee started, the

Manchester Establishes Delivery
System Inside and Outside
.. @ City Limits.
BY w. W. sIermane.

Washington, April 4.-The city of
Manchester, England, is about to adopt
a system of parcel-carrying on it's cleo
trio. street railways. The committee
having the matter in charge has
adopted a scale of prices for this par
.cel-delivery, Of from 4 to II cents in
side the city, according to the weight
Of the parcels, and to 16 cents outside
the city, the weight ranging from four
teen to liz pounds. Manchester has a
population Of about 100000 and is sur
rounded by prosperous suburban towns
and villages.
This parcel-carrying scheme has al
ready been adopted, in modified form,
by trolley lines out Of Indianapolis
Detroit, Cincinnati and St. Louis, but
it is believed here that it will sooner
or later be- adopted by many cities. No
American city, however, has the parcel
delivery inside the city limits.
In. Manchester this city delivery will
take place at intervals of fifteen min
utes, during the hours when stores are
open and people are down town 70,

relieve the big stores of much of theil
work of delivering goods, for the troll

their value to such an extent that in due

In the western part of Hughes and

in abundance along with the artesian
water from the same well. The gas

There must, of course, be limit to

The people of the United States do
not fully understand the extent, charac-
ter and value of the artesian wells from
the Jim river valley to the Missouri
and especially including the counties of
Beadle, Sanborn, Sphinx and Brown and
the eastern portion of Miner, Kings
bury, Clark and Day counties and the
country west to the Missouri river.
The eastern line or limit to the ar
tesian basin in the state commencse a
few miles below Yankton, runs north
west to mile or two west Of Scotland,
north to a mile or two west Of Mitch
ell. then runs northeast to near Canova
and little west Of De Smet, practically
to the northern line Of the state. The
largest number Of wells are in Beadle,
Sphinx, Brown, Edmunds, Faux and
Hand counties. There are some places
in this basin and little outside of it
