Pleasing Entertainment.

The splendid audience which
greeted the reader, Charles Emer-
son Austin, at the opera house last
night regretted that their friends
were rot present to share their en-
joyment in the varied and fasclnat-
ing treat given by the reader.
Charles Emerson Austin is a
reader of rare attainment, and has a
versatility which make him equally
attractive, whether in portrayal OF
pathos recitive or humor.
His presentation of Longfellow S
beautiful story of domestic fidelity
and seltsacrifice, with its climax OF
renunciation, "Enoch Arden" was
above criticism. Mr.. Austin has q
finely trained voice wonderfully ad
apted in tlexibility, sympathetic
quality, and timbre, for the pro
trayal of emotional, dramatic anC
pathetic word pictures. In his pre-
sentation OF several sereo-comit
selections at the close OF the enter
tainment, he also gave evidence o
the humorous vein which gives var
iety to his talent. AS an impersona
tor, and mimic of the animal ant
bird voices, he is inimitable.
The musical features Of the FRO
gram-songs by Miss Elsie Cornwall
were delightful variarations Of tn
evening pleasure. The Lady ha

WHO IS THE MOST POPULAR GIRL
AT 1900 O'Clock Noon Sharp the
Last Vote Must be in and

Every branch and phase of busiss

This is truism and applies to every
thing-even to a con test carried on
by a newspaper.
The proprietors of this paper have
had occasion to realize the truth of
these things since starting our
"Most Popular Young Lady" con
test. To the average reader the
printed vote is grasped at glance
and it is natural for one not to con-
slider the amount of writing, book
keeping, typesetting and other Incl
dentel work necessary to present
the reports to our readers. We con-
fess when we started the contest,
April 81 last, we did not have much
of an idea of the time or work neces-
sary to bring it to successful close.
Never having gone through the mill
so to speak, we thought about two
mouths time would be plenty. AS q
matter Of fact we find that six
months time is none to soon in which
to give such contest proper publ
city. 1t was our intention to close
the contest July 4th, but in looking
around we find so much unfinished
that should be done we must have
another months time. One thing we
have been unable to secure and it is
something we must have is com

Artesian w oils.

The finding of the artesian flow at
the Wheeler ranch at White Clay
Butte has practically demonstrated
that the flow can be secured all over
the higher section of the western
part of the state. While the e!eva-
tion of this we'll is higher than at
the Mcclure we'll on antelope creek,
the flow was secured at less depth
showing that it rises to the west,
and the theory that the same level
must be reached west of here as at
this city to secure the flow will have
to be changed.
1t was only few years ago that
geologists showed by theory that it
was impossible to secure artesian
wells on the high country between
Miller and the Missouri river, and
yet the counties of Hyde Hughes and
Sully. which are in that section are
now thickly dotted over with wells.
The same theory has all along been
advanced in regard the country wtst
OF the river, but practical expert
ments show that the theory will not
hold good.
A good flow OF gas was secured in
the Wheeler we'll, with the flow OF
water, and that also indicates that
the gas supply can be secured by the
ranchers of the western part OF the
state, which cannot be done in the
eastern portion.
This will induce the sinking OF a
number of wells west of the river
within the next few years, and 90 a
long way toward permanency in the
settlement of our country.

Before Judge Garland in the fed
eral court Monday afternoon there
was another hearing on the petition
for the appointment of receiver
for the Dakota and Wyoming Rail
road company. The arguments
were short, and it took Judge Car
land a much shorter time to hand
down his opinion which was adverse
to the appointment Of receiver, as
he could not find that the Dakota
aud Wyoming road had any tangi-
BILE property for anyone to admins
ter.
c. W. Brown of Rapid City ap-
peared for the railroad company and
Chauncey L. Wood for the petition
ers. The case was started some
time ago when W. T. Coad appeared
before Judge Garland and asked for
and had t,mporary receiver ap-
pointed. Mr.. Coad was the presi-
dent of the Dakota and Wyoming
road, which practically has no ex-
istence today, it being succeeded by
the Missouri River and North
western. The road in question is a
short one running from Rapid City
to Mystic. The Coad road became
practically bankrupt and was
placed in the hands OF a receiver, j.
S. Gantz being appointed that po-
sition. The property of the read,
including the right of way was
eventually sold to satisfy debts OF
the company. It was purchased by
Chicago and Cleveland capitalists,
who renamed the road the Missouri
River and Northwestern, and they
at once proceeded tc build the line
between the two cities mentioned
The represen tatives OF the old
road. or what is known as the Coad
syndicate, are the ones who asked
recently for the appointment of a
receiver, claiming that there was
about three quarters of mile ol
right-of way of the cid Dakota and
Wyoming road that had never been
sold.
In the arguments before Judge
Garland Monday afternoon the at.
torneys for the Missouri River ant
Northwestern road contended anC
showed to the satisfaction of thu
court that the entire property o
the old road had been sold by th'
receiver, and consequently ther'

There is no failure save in giving

Romero Well to 90 Deeper.

G.. +. Smith. of Port Arthur. and
". p. Binyon, of Beaumont, who are
instrumental in drilling the we'll on
the Romero tract northeast of Rice
and west of the Welsh field, have de-
clded to continue to a depth Of 2O00
feet. The contract depth Of 1900 feet
was reached last week, bat the condi-
tons at that point were not sufficient
to Justify DEVELOPMENT. Much gas
was in evidence aud some OIL but the
belief has prevailed among oil opera
tors for some time that a better pay
ing stratum Of oil exists below the one
now being developed in the Welsh
field, and it is the intention of the
Texas gentlemen to ascertain the eX-
act conditions at that depth. Although
this is a wildcat proposition, those in
terested feel hopeful Of encOuntering a
