the surface OF the ground. but In order
to recover it the entire casing now In
the we'll must be raised by clamping the
rope each time it is raised one joint
and section unscrewed. The task is
made all the more strenuous by the
fact that the cable must be kept taunt
to the bottom and at the same time all
the cable above ground must be draw n
through every section of the casing to
release the latter. The deep we'll al
ready has very good flow Of water,
but 1t is expected much stronger flow
will be struck when the we'll is drilled
about one hundred feet deeper.

W. N. Barrett, President Adams Express
Company Makes Statement.
Because Of many inquiries from en-
ployes and others, 1t is deemed proper
to state the attitude and policy of The

sponse to widespread and persistsnt
demand, and anticipates 1t has come to
stay. The Company's policy will be to
devote Its energies to rendering q SER
vice even more efficient and sstisfac.
tory than in the past, and all officers
and employees are directed to exert
every effort to that end. The Company
does not wish any of its employees to
adopt policy Of faultanding toward
the Parcel Post, but expects them by
their efficiency to demonstrate to its
patrons the necessity for the Express
Company's distinctive service.

A Short Recipe for the Care of Husbands
After Selection.
Be careful of your selection; do not
choose too young, and take only such
varieties as have been raised In q good
moral atmosphere. When once decided
upon and selected, let that part re-
main forever settled, and give your en-.
tire time and thought to preparation
for domestic use. Some insist in keep
ing in pickle while some are constantly
keeping them in hot water. But even
poor varieties may be sweet, tender and
good by garnishing with patience, we'll
seasoned with smiles and favored with
kisses and taste. Wrap them In q
mantle of charity. keep warm with Q
steady flow of domestic devotion, and
serve we'll with peaches and cream.
When thus prepared will keep for

M. E. LADIES AID BACK OF THE
MOVEMENT.
fine TALENT IS SECURED
FIVE DAYS PROGRAM WILL Be GIVEN
EITHER DURING THE MONTH OF
JULY OR AUGUST.

Hot SprinRs had one of the best
Chautauqua Assemblies { h at ever
gathered in the west way back In the
eighties, the last one being held In
about 1893. 1t was great drawing card
for Hot Springs during the summer
season, people coming here from not
only ell over the Black Hills but from
more remote places, taking advantage
of the assembly being here and at the
same time enjoying an outing at the
Springs. There we're tents all about
the town, besides the hotels being we'll
filled. But the thing was too expensive
for place 80 small as Hot Springs-
the program for each season running
far into the thousands of dollars, so
that it lacked some each season of pay
ing its way.
Now these Ohsutauquas are different
ly conducted, talent being obtained in
the same manner as the zoe m
bureaus supply different towns. This
Chautauqus talent is sent from one
place to another, SO that the expense is
kept at q minimum. For instance
talent will be supplied at an Assembly
at Sheridan, Wyoming. on the west,
and possibly Grand Island. or some
eastern point, so that they can take in
Hot Springs between those places.
In this Chautauqus, which has been
engaged by the Methodist Ladies' Aid
Society, at Q large cash guarantee
there will be fifteen different and dis
tinct classes of entertainment-leo-
lures, concerts, readings, the dramatic
rendition of"Ben Hur," specially at
tractive features for the children-by
come Of the ablest talent In the United
states-the whole covering q period Of
five days, making three different enter
tainments each day, morning, afternoon
and night. This will be held here
either the latter part of July or fore
part of August. and will be in large
tent, capable Of seating more than q
thousand people. Il Is proposed to
have location very close to the busi-
ness part of the city, 90 that 1t will be
easily accessible at any time one de-
sires to attend. People who come from
outside the oity and do not desire to
stop at hotels, but prefer to camp out,
can find excellent camping places and
special attention will be given in as.
sisting such to locate camping places.
The reviving Of the Hot Springs
Ohautauqua will certainly be appreciat-
cd by all who enjoy high class enter
tsinmeat Of great variety, for the cost,
per season ticket will be exceedingly
small. 1t is also going to be q splendid
thing for the young people. 1t is sure
to attract many people from the farm.
Ing and ranch country all about here,
as we'll as many people from distance,
who will select that particular time for

Twas the womanl Yet we hear it
in these modern days of ours,
AS the false bewhisked sinners des-

All the blame upon the shoulders of

So twill be till time has ended, till
the sun is stripped of light.
And the earth is in the blackness of
the never ending night.
Till the sounding of the trumpet calls
the dead from earthly sleep
And the heavenly inspectors separate
the Goats and Sheep.

The extenuating features of our sin

There may be full many towards

And attribute their transgressing 70
