600 acres of land in the government

the personal efforts of Thomas w

inton and Aurora county, funds neces'
sary to sink an artesian well on the
shore of Fish lake, a fine body Of wa.
ter some miles from here, have beer
raised by voluntary subscription
among the residents of the county. The
lake is we'll stocked with FISH. but the
dry season has caused the water to
lower to such an extent that IL some.
thing was not done the water would
freeze to the bottom Of the lake and
all the fish would be killed. 1t was
decided that an artesian well would
not only increase the supply OF water
but would keep the water In circula-
ton for a considerable distance from
the shore and thus prevent h lake
freezing solid and killing the fisn. II
Is proposed to sink a well four inches
in diameter. A well of this size vii

has been raised. The work Of drilling

POPPED THE QUESTION

Trip, s. D., Sept. 21.-A wedding OF
more than usual interest occurred here
In which the principals were Gottlieb
Klandt and Miss Ida Sieler, prominent
German-Americans, who were raised
from childhood in this vicinity. The

born in Trip, and has resided here
continuously since that time with the
exception OF a few months. He at
present Is assistant cashier OF the Trip
State bank. The bride came to Trip
In her infancy and has since resided
here. They were childhood s~weethearts
and their marriage was the culmina-
ton OF a courtship extending over a
period OF eight or 10 years. The mar
riage was one OF the great social events
Of Trip, and to accommodate all the
friends and relatives Of the contract
ing parties it was necessary to en-
gage the public school building, In
which to have the ceremony performed.
After the ceremony some OF the
groom's young men friends forcibly
kidnapped him and when he was re-
turned to the arms OF his bride he was
in a somewhat disfigured condition.

try could not succeed unless children
under sixteen years were permitted To
work ut night. The committee was able
to show that the glass industry has
steadily increased in states which for
