IRRIGATION
WORK RUSHING
0itching On irrigation Project Being
Rushed Contractors Far Ahead
Of Work Promised

Contractors Delaney and
Penson are making great pro-
gress on their ditching on the
irrigation work at this place.
They have at work near the city
about forty teams with a crew
of men to correspond. The
weather has been very good and
they claim that if it holds out
for two weeks longer they will
be farther along with the work
than they promised to be by the
first of June. They will have in
all, about two-thirds of the
work promised by June, COM
pleted. Besides the crew work
ing near the city several parties
are working on the ditching
farther up the Muddy. Should
the good weather last for three
or four weeks more the large
bitches will be about completed.
There are seventy two miles OF
laterals and drain bitches which
will be done next summer. The
work has been rushed along so
fast that the engineers are kept
busy keeping surveyed ahead OF
the crews of men,
The large reservoir just south
Of the depot is about completed.
There has to be a lot of piling
put in before it can be COM
pleted and as soon as this is
done the reservoir will be COM
pleted all ready for the water.
All work on the Williston pro-
ject is going along very smooth
ly and by the middle of next
summer everything should be in
readiness for the water. The
heavy machinery for the power
house, now being constructed
about three miles up the Muddy,
will be installed this winter,
when it will be easier to handle
on sleds.

Hon. H. r. Turner, in speak
ing of the political situation
spoke at length on the situation
in regard to John Knaufexplain-
ing how he had been nominated
and that his nomination was
against the choice Of the North
ern Pacific railroad and its at
tornevs in this state. He also
spoke OF the numerous impor-
tant changes made by Governor
Sarles in regard to keeping tab
on the state expenses and the
thousands of dollars that these

marks pointed out thegreat ad-
vancement in this county during
the past few years.
Chairman G. B. Metzger in
closing the meeting, urged the
voters to be sure and turn out to
the polls and to vote for what
they believed to be right.
After the speech by Hon. H. R.
Turner the audience had the
pleasure Of listening to a solo

ing was a treat to all. He was
accompanied on the piano by
Mrs. Evans.
The court room presented a
very attractive appearance be-
ing decorated with bunting and
flags. The picture Of President
Roosevelt occupied a prominent
position at the front of the room.
The fine appearance of the court
room was due largely to the ef-
forts of Joseph w. Jackson who
attended to the decorating.
Before the Rally the Williston
band played several selections
in from of the hotel where the
speakers were stopping and then
led the way to the court house.
The orchestra played a number

The Republican Rally held in
this city Tuesday evening was
one of the best ever held in this
section of the state and the court
room was crowded, standing
room being at a premium. The
principal speakers of the evening
were Gen. E. A. Williams and
Hon H. r. Turner, they being
assisted by Atty Palmer, Hon.
Frank Chapman and 6. B.
Metzger, chairman OF the Re
publican County Central Com
mittee. The first speaker of the
evening was Attorney Palmer Of
this city. He has studied the
political situation of the state
carefully and gave some very in
teresting and important facts in
regard to the campaign.
The second speaker introduc-
ed was the Godfather of our
County," Gen. E. A. Williams and
as he arose to address the aud
fence he was met with rounds of
applause. The General is one of
the oldest settlers in the state
and was a representative in the
territorial days, thirty four
years ago. He gave an inter-
esting talk in regard to the con-
ditions at that time and men
toned that this county was
then a part of the county of Bull
falo, which covered the greater
part ofthe western half of the
state and reached almost to
Yankton, then the capital. This
county has since been divided in
to II counties in this state and
13 in South Dakota. The Cen
era1 stated that in this whole
territory thirty four years ago,
there were but 167 votes to send
him as representative and that
now there was population Of
nearly 100000. If this great
advancement has taken place in
the past "a years, says the Cen
eral, what will the next 81 years
show? He stated that this state
had been under Republican rule
ever since 1861, with the excep-
tion of two years in territorical
days and two under state
government, and asked if peo-

Head of Banking House Which Failed
Throws Himself Under Train.

London. Oct. 22.-P. Macfadyen, head of Mac
fadyen & Co.. bankers. whose suspension was
announced on Saturday, committed suicide with
in an hour after posting the notice Of the failure
on the door of the bank. by throwing himself
before train in a tunnel about half a mile
from his place of business.
Mr.. Macfadyen appears to have gone direct
from his bank to station of the City & South
London Railway, to have entered the tunnel
unobserved, and to have thrown himself in front
of an approaching train. The engineer reported
having run over an obstruction in the tunnel
and a search revealed mutilated body, which
to-day was identified as that of Mr.. Macfadyen
1t is rumored that the failure of P. Mac

the cotton market, but Mr.. Macfadyen was

THE LOSS OF THE VARIAGIN.
Stern of Steamer Blown Off by Mine Near
Vladivostok.

st Petersburg, Oct. 22.-Few details were re-
ceived here to-day of the blowing up of the
wooden coasting steamer Variagin. which struck
a floating mine and foundered with the loss of
TWO hundred lives, The vessel was bound from
Nladivostok for Rechitsa, at the head of Ussuri
Bay. about thirty miles from Vladivostok She
struck the mine when few miles from Rechitsa
at point less than two miles from the shore
The whole of the stern of the vessel was blown
OF. The spot where the Variagin struck the
mine was far inside the lines of the Russian
defences. and at least fifty miles from the near
est point where the japanese succeeded in scat
tering mines.
The name Of the Varagin cannot be found on
the shipping lists available in St Petersburg
and her ownership has not been established but
it is Conjecturcd that she was a small steamer
chartered by retired naval officer and in ac-
cordance with Russian custom, afterward re-
named. As cOasting steamer she would have
had few European passengers on board
More than half n dozen steamers already hava
been sunk from coming in contact with floating
mines in the waters encirclng Vladivostok The
loss of the Nariagin shows that the Russian an
