OFFIClAL.
FAMILY
Mayor johnson VIII Soon Designate
the Appointments for the Next
Two Years.

= ~ ! { 4 q
Monday evening at a meeting Of the
faithful the official family of Mayor
elect Johnson will be designated and
the names will be presented to The
council the following. evening.
There is some talk on the street to
the effect that at least one of the APP
poirtments will not be confirmed by
the council but this report is not gen
orally credited. Mayor elect johnson
has had some experience before IN
having the city council reject his aP-
pointments but he has invariably won
out by the usual method Of appointing
from month to month and thereby
wearing out the city dads.
s The candidates for the different city
Offices have been isifted down until now
there are in some cases but one candi-
date. For the office Of city attorney
there are still several candidates but
popular report now has it that w. G.
Resser will be the man.
But little gossip is heard concerning
the appointment of city engineer. 1T
is believed, however, that Sam Crabbe
will be reappointed. .
That there will be many changes in
the police department, there appears to
be but little doubt. Jn fact it is com
mon gossip that not more than three
s.of the present force will be retaine 1.
I They are Dahlgren, Mullen and posi-
Fbly Healey. 1t is, also possible that
Chief Of Police Grant may be offered
a beat. ss
There have been several names men
TONED in connection with the position
Of desk sergeant on the police force
and il is expected that L. Coleman
will be appointed
The appointment Of a deputy audi
tor has not vet been fully decided upon.
C. Lloyd Truss is said to have been
offered the position but is reported to
have declined and since several candi-
dates have appeared in the field. G.
sW Schrutf appears to be the favoritc
and il is expected that he win be ap-
pointed.

IN SESSION
They Want the Date of Meeting
Changed Schedule Of Assess
ments Arranged. /.

"A. harmonious meeting of the asses
,sors from the different townships and
villages in the county was held at the
courthouse this morning and matters
which have never before been. agreed
upon, such as the basis for assessment
Of automobiles. separators and engines,
were satisfactorily arranged, County
Auditor Lewis presided atssthe session.
1 It was recommended at the meeting
that the law providing for the assessors
TO meet on the second Saturday in
April Of each year be changed so that
the meetings shall be held on the first
Tuesday in April of each year. II
was argued that Saturday was an incon-
yeniert day for the assessors to come
ito Fargo and there were many argu-
nents in favor of Tuesday as a day Of
meeting.
The basis for the assessment of separ-
ators was fixed at from $50 to $50.
The basis for the assessment Of engines
was fixed at from $Ioo to 5000 and the
basis for the assessment of automobiles
costing under $1,000 was fixed at from
$Ioo to $3.50 The basis for all other
items was left the same as was finally
left BY the state board of equalization
last year.
The following assessors were pres

VIII Hang for Murder Of Father
Mother, Brother and Sister.

San Francisco. Adolph Weber must
hang for the murder OF his mother in
the spring of 1904. The supreme
court of the state has rendered de-
cislon sustaining the verdict and con-
flrming the judgment of the Placer
county superior court in Auburn,
which in January, 1905, found the
young man guilty and sentenced him
to pay the death penalty.
Weber killed his mother. father sis
ter and brother. He shot them at
night in their home at Auburn and
then set fire to the house to destroy
the evidence of his crime. At the
time he was just 20 years of age. His
motive seems to have been the an
initiation of the members Of his fam
fly that he might receive their estate
Subsequently he did receive the entire
estate, which was valued at about
$50, 900.

SENATE DECIDES

Vote Was Taken Which

Senators Fall In Line With Views OF
the House of Representatives and
the President and Threatened
Differences Are Now Settled.

Washington.-Th senate on Thurs
day took a position In accord with the
president and the house Of representa-
tives by declaring for n lock canal
across the Isthmus OF Panama. The re-
suit was reached after days discus
sion that was almost devoid Of inter
esting incident. There was only one
record vote and that was negative in
character, coming on motion to lay
on the table the lock type substitute
for the sea level bill. This motion
was made by Senator Kittredge and
was voted down--31 to 80.
The vote is generally accepted as
definitely settling the type of the
great waterway, and terminates what
Mt one time threatened to become a
sharp difference between the senate
on the one hand and the president and
the house on the other.

ply repetition Of that in other sec
tons. For wheat raising, corn and
other grains, no state in the Union
can surpass South Dakota. The case
of Mr.. Foth is only one of many in
the state.
The big crops and the great amount
OF new railway construction that Is
going on in the state are daily bring
ing in a throng of homeseekers. Most
OF these are pushing to the western
part of the state, as that is where the
railway construction is opening up an
entirely new country and where land
is the cheapest. But there are many
among the homeseekers who do not
care to open up new country, and
are satisfied to pay reasonable price
for land, the capacity of which has
been proved and which is nearer the
centers of population.
Three Fine Farming Counties.
The counties Of Beadle, Hyde and
Hand, in the central part of the state,
are attracting a large part of this
class of homeseekers. These coun-
ties are In the great artesian belt,
have plenty of land that has never
known the pillow, and contain a num-
Der of thriving communities. Take
the county of Beadle as an illustra-
ton. Its county seat, Huron, Is one
of the bright, hustling and pushing
communities of the state. 1t furnish
es a market not only for Its own coun-
ty, but for several others. Two rail-
ways enter it. SO that it is a large
receiving and shipping point. Its
streets are we'll kept and we'll lighted,
and it has good hotels. They are now
building a hotel there that will cost
100000 when completed.
The land in these counties can be
had at what seems rdiculously low
prices when one compares it's yield
with that of lands in Illinois, Iowa or
other Western states. They raised
thirty bushels of wheat to the acre in
Beadle county this year and eighty
bushels of oats, while the corn crop
promises to be something immense.
1t is fine dairying country, produces
a large number of hogs, and, like all
parts of South Dakota, 1t never has hog
cholera. What has been said of Bea-
die county also applies to Hyde and
Hand, except that they have no such
towns as Huron in point of size. Both
have number of good sized towns,
however, and if they are not as large
as Huron they are strictly up to date
and good business centers. 1t will on
ly be a matter of few years when
these counties will have all their
lands occupied and under cultivation.
1t is the man who gets them at the
present price that is going to make
the money, as they are certain to
treble and quadruple in the next few
years.-Herbert Vanderhoof in Min

NEW WELL A WoRLD-BEATER.
Second Artesian Basin Penetrated at
EauIkton at Depth of 1855 Feet

Second Artesian Basin Penetrated at
Faulkton at Depth of 1855 Feet.
The greatest gusher in the way of
an artesian we'll in this state, depth to
be considered, was struck at Faullkton
by Norbeck & Nicholson, who were
putting down we'll for the city. The
artesian basin was struck at a depth
of 1900 feet, but on account of the
high altitude at that place only a
small flow was secured. The we'll at
this depth was four and one-half
inches in diameter at the bottom. AS
the flow and force was not satisfactory,
a two-inch test drill was started down
from the bottom of the four-and-a half
inch hole.
At the depth of 1855 feet another
artesian was tapped that proved a
gusher. With only a two-inch hole at
the bottom, there is flowing $50 gal
Ions of water a minute, with a pres
sure estimated at 125 pounds. The
well drillers will now enlarge the small
hole to four inches, when the flow will
be increased accordingly. This makes
the fourth artesian we'll in Faulkton
