One of the Eost valuable wells OF its
kind in South Dakota is an artesian
we'll which was recently drilled on the
ranch of Ed Sutton in the northwest
ern portion OF Sully county. The great
value of the we'll is due TO the fact
that the water is heavily impregnated
with gas. In addition to furnishing
an abundance of water for domestic
and stock purposes the gas from the
we'll also has been turned to domestic
uses and now burns in three heating
stoves and range in his home, and
besides furnishes seven fine lights for
the house.

Uncle Sans 81 bill, priced in the
west for its scarcity, has no charm for
Game Warden James Halliday of Elk
Point Its existance has just cost him
$215. Halliday not long ago informed
friends that he always gave every 81
bill that came into his possession to
county seat to draw his salary, the
treasurer was ready for him. He paid
him 21J greenbackS of that denOmina-
ton, and then was cruel enough to call
up Mrs. Halliday over the telephone
and tell her what he had done. If
one woman's active support, and the
solid backing of all her friends will
avail, Treasurer Weber never will
want for reelection in Union county.
But for premOnition of John
Brown, an engineer on the Milwaukee
road running between Chamberlain
and Murdo on the Black Hills division,
his passenger train would have been
precipitated in the Missouri river
While coming from the west. Engi-
neer Brown went out on the bridge
and stopped his train and waited until
the draw part had been put in place,
it having been opened to let the ice
thru. When the draw was closed and
made fast, or was supposed to be, he
received the signal to go ahead, and
started slowly and with care. With
,ne escaping steam from the engine
the view of the bridge was shut Off
Brown had presentment that some
thing was wrong, and leaned out as
far as possible from the cab window
to look under the steam to see if the
bridge was all right. TO his conster-
nation he saw that the bridge had been
moved from it's moorings. When with
in only few feet of the end Of the
track he managed to stop his engine
by the application of the emergency
brakes.

forts be made to have a sidewalk INSTALL

The Game Of Hearts

MIR. Henry J. Hanson Of this city and
Miss Tracy Beulah Likes of Sun City
Will be united in marriage at the home Of
the brides parents at 9 o'clock a. m. to-
day. January 5th, 1908. Rev. Frank
c. Ward. pastor Of the Baptist church Of
this city, will oGciate.
Mr.. Hanson is assistant cashier Of the
Citizens State Bank. He went into the
bank about eight years ago and by IN
dustry and close application to business
advanced to his present position. During
his banking experience he has been
working in different cities among the string
Of banks owned or controlled by C. 0.
Chandler, having at times had complete
charge Of some some of them, and at all
times has demonstrated a reliability and
business qualifications that constitute an
asset beyond monetary calculation. So
cially, as in a business sense, he is one Of
the city's best-the same courteous, cor
dial, pleasant friend today, tomorrow
and forever.
he bnde IS one OF the county ablest
school teachers and a most admirable
lady. While her home is at Sun City,
she is as well and as favorably known in
this city and the immediate vicinity as at
her own home. She is endowed most
happily in disposition and possesses those
traits that at once endear her to her as
sociates.
Mr.. and Mrs. Hanson will be at home
to their friends in the beautiful cottage
just completed by the groom, on Kansa:
Avenue West, next Monday.
Few couples enter on Lfe's journey
under so favorable and promising circum-
stances as do Mr.. and Mrs. Hanson and
fewer so richly deserve the smiles Of for
tune. Their personal merit has well earn
ed all that the future has in store for them
and it is our hope that no ray Of adver-
sity may ever darken the skies above
them.

Called Out the Minister

Elder Lee H. Barnum of the Christian
church received a hurry up call from
Mingona last Friday evening to hitch up
and drive out as fast as horse flesh could
take him. MIR. Barnum was somewha,
perplexed. He didn't know what was
whether it was a marriage cere-
mony or whether mob Of irate people
were ready to administer a physical re-
buke on account Of something that might
have been said in the pulpit, but he was
prepared for the worst and lost no time
in making the appointment When he
arrived at the school house he met a
large delegation of citizens who loaded
his buggy to its utmost capacity and the
minister was no longer in fear. The do
nations included provisions Of numerous
descriptions and liberal amount Of cash
Elder Barnum expressed his appreciation
to the assembled friends and an hour ol
pleasure was spent. DR.. VanDewalker
preached a splendid sermon following
the reception.
Elder Bamum has regular appoint
ments at Mineona and his labors are
very highly appreciated by the people Of
that community.

Extra Session to Convene Tomorrow

Gov. Hoch issued call for an extra
ordinary session Of the legislature last
Wednesday. The mill is to start grind
ing at 4 p. m. tomorrow, Jan. 10th.
The Governor had been working on it
more than a month before he issued the
call and he claims to have assurances
from majority Of the members that they
will do the things for which they are be-
ing called together.
The emergencies, according to the
governor, are primary election law. a
guaranty bank deposit law and a law
regulating the tax levy, in the nature of
an amendment to the new tax law.
Representative Gesner Of this county
and Senator Noftzger of this district can
be depended upon to oppose the whole
batch unless they can be so framed that
they are Ineffective. In the last legisla-
ture they favored an anh-pass law that
did not prohibit passes,reduction Of freight
and passenger rates that did not reduce
rates,and direct primary law that was
not primary law. On the roll call on
the genuine bills they invariably voted
nay.

President w. Y. & G. r. r. Co

This letter was turned over to the
Commercial Club at its meeting last week
and the Secretary was instructed to cor
respond with President Miller, encour-
aging the project but making no promis-
es until more information could be re-
ceived.
1t might as well be stated at the out
set, however, that it would be difficult
matter to vote bonds just now. Bar
Der county was liberal in this respect two
years ago and got new road but so far
no respectable service has been secured.
Assuming that the Winnipeg, Yank-
ton & Gulf" road is to become reality
but the service installed no better than
what we now have. no present citizen ol
Barber county would live to ride over il
to either Winnipeg or the Gulf. Badly
as we want new railroads, we would like
to have some assurance that live train:
will be operated over them after they
are built.
But it is not our purpose to knock
on the project and we hope somethius
will come Of it.

H. A. Bailey Appointed Assessor

H. A. Bailey of kiowa was appoint
ed county assessor by the county commis-
sioners at nearly noon last Wednesday.
There were thirty-seven ballots before a
choice was made. AS stated last week,
each commissioner distinct had a candi-
date and for most Of the time each COM
missioner voted for the candidate from
his own district. Finally when it appear
ed that neither Of the other two would
yield. Chairman Lake cast his vote for
MI. Bailey which settled the matter,
Commissioner Flanagan having voted ev-
cry time for his neighbor and friend.
Commissioner Wadsworth voted blank
once. but in every other instance voted
for G. A. Bucklin of this city and district.
AS a majority Of the board are demo-
Gratis, Mr.. Bucklin did not expect very
strongly to get the appointment.
Chairman Lake was inclined to
compromise on the selection Of r. L.
Groendycke Of Nippawalla but was not
sure that he would accept and was not
able to reach him by phone. He cast
several votes for him anyway but neither
Of the others was in frame Of mind to
quit his man. Mr.. Lake, by the way,
passed his complimentaries around in a
very liberal manner and many new names
were sprung. Even one of the Index
force was thus honored and it occurred
to us that it would have been a happy
way of breaking the deadlock but like
the other dark horses, it was all over
with us after the one ballot.
AS stated last week, each of the three
candidates was well qualified for the
place and no matter how settled the coun-
ty was certain Of an excellent assessor.
MIR. Bailey has lived in Barber county
since its early settlement. He is a man
Of extraordinary judgment, and has rep
utation for fairness that has never been
brought into question. Under the pro-
visions Of the new tax law he must ap-
point deputy in every township. We
hope that he and his subordinates may
meet with few difficulties.
MIR. Gordon was the only one of the
three to file written application. 1t was
to the point and in some respects unique,
and is herewith reproduced:
Lake City, Kans., Jan. 6, 1908.
Tothe Honorable Board of County Com
missioners of Barber County, Kansas.
GENTLEMEN:
1 hereby make formal application for
the appointment of County Assessor of

divided sttention if favored with the ap-
pointment.

A Case Of Smallpox
Very respectfully
F. L. GORDON.

A little Sur was created on Saturday
morning by the discovery Of a smallpox
patient. Joseph Kuder came in from
somewhere in Oklahoma last Thursday
and Friday was taken sick. On Saturday
he went to DR.. Coleman for examination
and the Doctor pronounced it smallpox
at first glance and told him to place him
self in charge Of the county health officer.
He went to Dr.. Donovan who also said
it was smallpox. DR.. Donovan and
County Attorney Cloud began at once
to work on the matter. 1t was not pos
sible to find suitable place within the
city limits to keep the patient and as a
last resort tent was put up on Elm
Creek bottom in A. D. Shaw's pasture
where kuder is now being kept.
AS soon as it was learned that the man
was afflicted. Dr.. Donovan, County At
torney Cloud and Mayor Field began an
investigation and located all the place.
he had slept since coming to town and
thoroughly fumigated and disinfected all
Of them and it is almost certain that the
disease will not spread.
The attack is in a mild form, the
patient is able to care for himself and the
smallpox afflicdon is really the least Of hi.
troubles.
While Mr.. Kuder claims this as hi
home, he IS really rover. is less at home
here than elsewhere. His coming here
IN his present condition without advisins
any person. has created public mdisina.
6on and through It he ha. forfeited al
sympathy that otherwise might have gone
to him. Plainly speaking. Joseph is al.
most m the undesirable citzen'' class.
