A BIRTHDAY SURPRISE PARTY. A pleas
ant company of Rev. A. +. Luce's parish
toner's gave him surprise party last Satur-
dav in honor of his birthday, which this
wear fell on Sunday. The surprise was
genuine one, but it was sprung a little
earlier than had been anticipated. MISS
Lillian G. Spnney and Miss Alice Hussey,
who arranged for the affair, visited the
church at noon, decorated and arranged the
table in the church parlors, ana got every
thing in readiness for the evening. In the
afternoon Mr.. Luce happened to go down
to the church with visitor, and his part OF
the surprise came when he opened the door
and beheld the dainty table. Mr.. and Mrs.
Luce had accepted an invitation to tea at
Mr.. and Mrs. Lewis Auspland's and were
there when messenger arrived saying that
thew were wanted at the church. They ar
rived there at about the appointed hour and
had the second surprise when they beheld
about thirty of their friends drawn up
around the table, which fairly groaned with
al, kinds of good things. After the bountl-
I'm, and delicious supper Mr.. Luce was call
cd nm for a speech, and responded. saying
that their pastor knew more than they
thought he did. and confessing to the fact
that the surprise was bit premature, but
rona the less genuine; The surprise was
then on the hosts, so it was an all-around
surprise party. After Mr.. Luce's speech
he was presented with handsome triple
mirror as a birthday gift. soclabillty and
games followed, and the party had most
ENJOYABLE time until they dispersed, wish
ing their pastor many more pleasant ami
yersaries of his birth.

FLOWING WELLS.
Lyman County Is Becoming Noted for
Its Many Artesian Wells.

Lyman county, n of the new cOun-
ties in the Missouri river section Of
the state, rapidly is becoming noted
for the number and volume of the az
tesian wells which have been sunk
by homesteaders and ranchers in the
county.
Prior to the construction a couple
of years aSo of the ChamDerlain-Black
Hills line of the Chicago, Milwaukee
& st. Paul Railway company, which
passes entirely through Lyman coun-
ty from east to west, this county was
devoted chiefly to stock raising, and
it was a difficult matter to secure
water on the higher ground away
from the water courses.
The construction Of the railroad
caused the county to be filled by
homesteaders, and with the object of
solving the water problem, many OF
these have drilled artesian wells, Sc
curing good flows which give them
an ample supply Of water for domestic
and stock purposes and a surplus,
which flows to low places and has
formed a number of little lakes.
For great distances around these
artesian wells the ground has become
thoroughly saturated underneath as
well as on the surface, and little diff
ticulty is now experienced by home
%steaders and ranchers in the adjoin-
ing territory in striking water in Or
binary wells. Water has been struck
in these common wells at numberless
points where years ago water could
not be found after digging as much as
forty and fifty feet.
The ~artesian we'll drilling machine
of Ben Clark has just struck a flow of
fifty gallons per minute from a two
inch well or the homestead of Edward
Baccus, two miles east of the little
town of Mcclure, situated in the
northern part of the county. The
drillers struck the first flow 1t 1925
feet, but it was determined to go
deeper and ascertain if there was not
a stronger flow further down, and the
result is hat a miniature gusher was
struck. BY drilling the last forty-fiye
feet the flow of water increased about
600 per cent.
The artesian possibilities of Lyman
county are only beginning to be real
lied, with the result that during the
coming twelve months scores if not
hundreds of small wells will be
drilled in various parts of the county.

"soFT" DRINKS INTOXICATING.
Substitutes for Beer Barred From
South Dakota Prohibition Towns.

An important case was finished in
circuit court at Mitchell concerning
the sale of lagerine, freemo, malt
foam, etc, which are known as sub
stitutes for beer and are sold in
towns where prohibition prevails.
Since the early part of the summer,
when prohibition went into effect in
Mitchell, efforts have been made to
sell either one of these liquids under
the idea that they were immune from
contain enough percentage Of alcohol
to cause ~intoxication. Jacob Bujer
and several other dealers were ar
rested during corn palace week for
selling lagerine, malt foam and free
mo, and Buffers trial was completed
today, and the jury found him guilty
of selling matted and brewed liquors.
Two bottles each of these liquids
were sen to Prof. A. E. Koch, the
state chemist, some few weeks ago,
"Ih TX CoN tiSll luls. liz hlo
ing he gave his evidence on the wit
ness stand concerning the amount Of
alcohol in each beverage. He found
that freemO was a brewed malt and
contained sc of | per cent Of alcohol;
that malt foam was a brewed malt
liquor and contained .46 of 1 per e
of alcohol.
Prof. Koch gave it as his opinion
that malt foam OF lagerine was not
intoxicating, but believed that freemo
would have hat effect on an indi-
vidual. States Attorney Spangler en-
deavored to demonstrate to the jury
that the substitute would intoxicate,
but the court would not permit the
members to taste it. Attorney Pres
ton, for the defense, offered a motion
to the court that if the jury found
that these substitutes were not in
toXicating that it be instructed to
bring in a verdict of not guilty. Judge
Smith gave it as his opinion that the
legislature intended to take the ques-
ton Of what constitutes an illegal
liquor out of the hands of the jury.
He stated that he would instruct the
jury that if the liquids were found to
be brewed or matted they would come
within the prohibition statute. The
jury found that these liquids had been
brewed and matted land Wherefore
found the defendant guilty of selling
intoxicating liquors. without a license.

MUNICIPAL TELEPHONE.
Huron Taking Steps to Have the City
Own Its Local Telephone Exchange.

OWN It's Local exchange.
At a meeting of the Huron city
council a proposition was offered for
the construction of a telephone eX-
change in Huron. The proposition is
in compliance with the vote taken at
the election last April, when by a ma
jority Of 725 voters of the city de-
clared in favor of a municipal tele-
phone exchange system. Since that
time a number of gentlemen have
given much attention to the cOnsidera-
ton Of this question, the result being
the presentation Of an ordinance of
the city council for the granting of a
franchise to F. H. ent, G. F. koepp,
William Waibel, S. F. Malone, j.. H.
Human, ]. V. Campbell and c. e. Bry-
ant. These gentlemen are in favor of
the city owning its own telephone eX-
change, and in support of the propo-
mercial club was presented to the
council. The plan is for the grantees
under the franchise to organize a for
NAL corporation with a small capital
stock paid in, to construct a telephone
exchange mainly from funds secured
by issuing bonds of the said corpora
ton, to be taken mainly by our own
citizens in small amounts. The equity
and absolute control of the exchange
can then be readily purchased by the
city without the city issuing bonds.
Within a period of five years from the
date of the franchise the city has
the right to purchase, under certain
conditions, the entire plant.
