LECTURER IS
NOT A BARON

According to our exchanges, "Baron
Maulaussene" who lectured in some of
the towns of the state some time ago
for the benefit of the Red Cross, mis-
represented himself and that he was
baron at ALL, the following letter was
received by parties at Langdon being
self-explanatory:
San Francisco, Aug. Is, 1917.
"When the so-called baron was at
San Francisco in 1916, l became u.s.
picious of him and sent to France for
information regarding him. Accord
ing to the answer received, the Baron
de Malaussene is not a Baron at all.
His real name is Henri Simon, born
in Aiken Province, France. He en-
listed in the French Foreign Legion at
Paris at the beginning Of the war un-
der the name of Henri Simon, was sent
to the hospital Of Gumper' brittany
on February 5th, 1915, for g%astrologio,
and later to the military hospital at
Lyons, where he was discharged on
Sept. 25th, 1915. He has never been
an adjutant, that is, a non-commis-
stoned officer. You. may conclue from
this that the barron de Malaussene or
more exactly, Mr.. H. Simon, is not
the hero that he pretends to be and
that his stories from the front come
from his own imagination. He never
sent any money to France for the Red
Cross.
Yours truly,
J. Neither,
Consul General of France.

GERMAN WAR
PLANS TOLD
! DEWEY--1908
CAPT. Won G.)ETZ HAD WARNED
HERO OF MANILA BAY OF
STEPS.

Washington, Sept. 24.-Prediction
that Germany would wage a war for
world conquest in about Is years was
made to the late Admiral Dewey at
Manila in 1898 by Capt. Won Goetz
Of the German imperial navy, Senator
Lewis today told the senate.
Quoting a report form Admiral
Dewey to the navy department the Ill
inois senator said that vonGoetz told
the American II; val officer that Ger
many would capture Paris as the first
step to subjugating England. The tax
ing of New York and Washington was
to follow in order that Germany might
secure an enormous cash indemnity.
The wiping out tf the Monroe doctrine
and the control of South America by
Germany also were predicted by the
German officer, declared Senator Lew
is, who was discussing peace negotia-
tions.
For some reason the government
had not given the report wide circu-
lation, Senator J evils continued, but in
the face of it rev "any senator who
speaks here or elsewhere against any
measure of his country lends himself
to the enemy"
Characterizing the German reply to
Pope Benedict's peace not as "Pruss-
ian peace hypocracy" and as an af-
front both to the pope and President
Wilson. Senator Lewis scored what
he termed "laggards in patriotism
and those who argue against the war.

Protection of Wells.

The necessity of protecting wells
absolutely against any chance of polu-
ton from surface drainage or inflter-
alton of water just below the surface
of the ground is a we'll known princi-
pie of sanitary science. However, the
hazy ideas that are prevalent as to the
ways and means of effecting this pro-
lection have led the writer to make
the following notes on construction of
wells:
The curb of the we'll should be ~ to
ID inches above the surface of the
ground. At the surface of the ground
there should be a platform of concrete
or stone, sloping away from the walls
of the well. The edge of this plat
form should be at least four feet from
the walls. The walls themselves
should be so constructed that no wa
ter can pass thru them without ha~-
ing percolated thru at least eight to
twelve feet of soil, depending on the
character of the SOIL. The top of the
well should be covered with a water
tight cover of wood, concrete or stone.
II wood is used, nothing should be
considered but shiplap or tounge-and-
groove lumber.
Bored, drilled or driven wells u.s.
ually have a shallow pit to protect the
pumping apparatus from frost. These
should be constructed and protected
with as much care as the dug well.
Drainage entering this pit, either by
the direct route of flowing thru the
cover of percorlating thru a few in
ches of soil, is cumulative and will
follow the path of least resistance
down the casing and in time grossly
pollute the water below.
Old wells can be remodeled by rails
ing the curb and digging out the dirt
on the outside Of the wells, and then
plastering the walls with cement plas-
ter-two parts sand and one part OF
cement. The we'll should then be en-
cased with clay puddle or concrete.
The final step would be a platform on
the surface Of the ground slopine
away from the well.
BY carefully following these direc-
tions and locating the we'll at least 1O(
feet from the privy or ~cesspool, there
need be little danger of having a con
tnninated well unless the ground wa.
ter itself is polluted by larger sources
than privy or cesspool. Or, again the
-privy or cesspool may be in the same
water level that furnishes the well
with water. In this case the well
should be abandoned at once.

Charles D. Gibbs, one of the few re-
naming typical Indian scouts of the
early days, died in his old shack in
Williston last week. The Indian scout
at one time refused $500 for taking a
party of government agents from Fl.
Buford to Fl. Benton. He was the
confdant of hundreds of Indian chiefs.
Relatives had often asked him to come
and live with them but he preferred
the old shack that reminded him of the
old hunting days.

UNION JACK BECOMES
 PROPERTY OF STATE.
Is First British Flag to Fly from State
 Capitol.

The first and only British flag to fly from the state capitol has become the property of the state. It was used when the Canadian Hishlapders, the famous Black Watch, visited Hartford on Oct. 8 to aid recruiting for the British and Canadian forces. The Union Jack was the property of the Scottish Union & National Insurance company and was loaned to Acting Mayor Walter s. Schultz. The flag has now been presented to the state by James H. Brewster, manager of the Scottish Union. In his acknowledg mei1t of the gift, Governor TfoIcomb says he expects to see the flag fly from the statehOuSe, side by side with the Stars and Stripes, to signalize the vic tory of the allies
 The letter of Mr. Brewster to the governor is here givena'
 Honorable Marcus H. Ho1cosnb, Gov
 ernor of the State of Connecticut,
 Hartford, Conn:
 My Dear Governor: The first and cnly British flag to wave on the cap ito1 building of the state of Connecti- cut is the one I loaned Acting Mayor Schutz for that purpose yesterday.
 At some future date this flag may possess historical interest, and it gives me plea sure to ask you to ac- a souvenir of an occasion that per H;itted the armed forces of the United Kingdom of Great Britain to enter and capture the city of Hartford.
 Respectfully yours
 J. H. BREWSTER, Manager.
 The governors reply to Mir. Brew sler's letter was as follows:
 October 10, 1917. Dear Sir: I am pleased to receive the British flag which flew from our capitol building last Monday, the 9th inst, when the Black Watch from Canada visited us for the purpose of recruiting British subjects to fight in the great war in which the United States, Great Britain. France, Italy, and other allied nations are partners in the struggle to defea tautocracy and to establish universal individual liberty for the peoples of the earth
 This being the first British flag to float from our capital will possess a historic value which will increase with the passing years. I expect ito see it float gain from our capitol building, side by side with the Stars and Stripes and the flags of our allies, at the con cius1on of this war. when autocracy shall have been obIiterated and a per rnanent peace shall have been estab- Eshed.
 Sincerely yours.
