A. Flowing Well. J.l;e associated j)ri-ss lispatciu-s say that the largest llowinr well in the world was struck yesterday on a farm two miles west of Huron. The How is through an ei.idit-inclf pipe, and is so strong that a solid column of water eiht inches in diameter shoots ten feet in the air and makes a tremendous noise. The well is93." feet deep but it will be put lower still if, possible. The flow is esti mated at 10,0fX) gallons per minute It flooded the ground so rapit'lj'- that great ditches were cut to carry it into the Missouri river. 3 4 111 11 12 li5 17 38 1: -0 L'4 4!) 00.3 M O.'i.l DC 0S..1 51 9!). 25 6S Jl, I 13 . 80 Ui 5 C9 94 5 li3 ti !I5 02 37 U7.3 CO 9G 5 31 95 -) 9!.5 01 RH.9 f!S 'JG.SS 50 97.17 "W !H.:57 i5 !n 4 Cl S7 5 40 01.1 An Interesting Report Of the city schools for the week ending- Apr. 21, 18'Jl: Kooni.

It will be several days before he can build any more fence. The M. I'. contractors are delayed again on account of failure to re ceive material which has just been shipped from Pittsburgh, Pa. The steel rails on hand are too light for the sharp curves at this end of the line and will be used in Sarpy coun ty where the line is coniparativel straight. It is fully expected that work will begin again Thursday, and nothing but bad weather will stop the contractors after that time until the line is completed. It is said the company desires to put in a new time card, to take effect June 1st, and that they expect to have trains running on the new line by that time. A woman in Missouri was a can didate for member of school board at the last election in a certain vil lage down there, and onl3r received three votes. Being anxious to know who voted for her she offered $a0 to the men who were her supporters.

It was during this service that lie composed the immortal song "Colum bia," which at once attracted ycueral at tention, itiid from the first became fa mous. It was composed without much thought, the times being fall of patriotic feelings, which inspired the poet, and he is said to have expected no more than passing fame for his production. It was caught up, however, by the patriots, and soon became known throughout the struggling colonies. After the war Dwight went back to the pursuits inter rupted 13" his entering the army, and eventually became president of Yale college, a position which he held until his death in 1817. The author of "Columbia" was a vol uminous writer, turning out many ex tended poems and books, hut all seem to have been forgotten but the great l3ric which he gave to his country dur ing the struggle for freedom. It wiil ever remain his monument. A SONG THAT TOLD. The words and music of "Hail Colum bia" were composed under the American flag. Its author, Joseph Ilopkinson, was a native of Philadelphia and the son of a signer of the Declaration of Independ ence. Like the composer of "Colum bia," he was the author of many other things in prose and verse, has come down to our day with auy fame but his national son"1. "Hail Columbia" was written in the summer of 1703, whcST we were having complications with France which threat ened to end in war. Ilopkinson had an actor friend named Fox, who was to have a benefit at a theater, and it was for him that the song was composed. The music winch accompanied the song, and to which it is sung toda3 was originally the "President's March," which was written ten years before, on the occasion of Washington's visit to New York, by a German orchestra lead er named lytes. "JJ.au Columbia sprang into sudden popularitj', and it is said to have averted the threatened war, as it incited national pride and roused the whole country. Joeph HopkhiKon lived until 18-12, fill ing various important ofnees and loved y all for the great song he had given to his nation.
