Last week the Journal made due men tion of the new well and of the fact that our citizens were fully confident that it would prove satisfactory. Such is the case. Last Saturday about 4 o'clock in the afternoon the work of placing the steam pump in the well was completed. This pump raises about 45 to 50 barrels of water an hour. It ran until about 10 o'clock that evening with only one short stop and there was no appar ent lowering of the water in the well. The flow is demonstrated to be practi cally inexhaustible. There is no quest ion about there being an abundant quan tity of water of excellent quality. Plenty of water lias here-to-fore been Harrison's most pressing need. The large deep well at the corner of Main and Second Streets was not a success for some unexplained reason. The fact tliat there are a number of good wells on the divide near to town always gave assur ance that we ought to be able to have a good well here. The new well was drill ed more as an experiment tlian anything else in hopes that by putting down a well in a new place a vein of water might be tapped that would afford an abundant flow. These hopes are more than realized. Not a vein merely, but a great stream seemingly lias been tapped, and the steady jKwerf ul strokes of the large steam pump working for hours fail to perceptibly lower the water. That there is gratification and rejoic ing over the result no one can doubt. The water works question is very mud simplified now that it is proven tliat there is an abundance of excellent water to be had for the pumping of it. The fact will be promotive of settlement and establishment of business enterprises at Harrison. There are a number of plans being put forward now for convenient system of water works. Doubtless some one of them will soon be adopted and will ev entually crystalize into an accomplished fact. In the meantime the Journal wishes the world to know that everybody can get a drink of excellent water in Harri son at all times and that there is enough for man and beast. How to Beat the Twine Trust. L. W. Gilchrist, writing in the Ne braska Farmer, says: "Beat the trust by not using any twine. Farmers ask how they can use a twine binder with out using twine. I will explain how Take your bmder and build a little out rigged platform below the binding appa ratus and along side of the frame, of pine and not more than 1 j inches square and the frame should be covered with pine siding. The contrivnace should be in the shape of a little cart open at the rear end and so arranged that it can be dumped by the driver by an arrangement of a pulley and cord. By dispensing with the twine you can commence cut ting oats at least a week earlier, and in wheat can commence at least five days sooner. In both of these cases the value of the straw is greatly enhanced for feeding by reason of being cut when green. Then let the grain remain in bunches as they fall from the machine until two-thirds dry, and then stack loose. When you bind with twine the bundles have to be shocked up. This la bor, added to the labor of stacking will more than take the same grain from the field, thrown in bunches, and put in good shape into a stack or a rick. The money you pay for twine will gather the grain in the bunches as they were dropped by the machine and put the same in a good safe stack. Top the stack with a layer of hay and you will have grain in better shape than you can have by binding with twine. In using twine to bind if you happen to com mence a day or two too soon your bun dles will mould in the center. Adoptf this method and you can take off yoifr I uiuuer aiutcnuiein. i our macmne runs one horse lighter. Your grain will be saved in just as good condition. The straw will be worth fifty per cent more. The cost of stacking will be less than to shock and stack in the bundles. Just leave the twine off your grain one year, and I am satisfied that the twine com bine will suffer a certain collapse." Big iDdiM. The party of 80 Indians who are to compose Buffalo Bill's Wild West show this season, came down from the Agency Monday and left Rutthville at five o'clock in the evening by special train over the F. E. it M. V. railroad. They were in charge of Major Burk, Broncho Bill and John Nelson, all financially interested in the Wild West show. They go direct to New York, and from there they will sail for Europe, where they will spend the coming summer. The parting of In dian friends at the depot was a scene that might affect the most stony heart, which goes to show that the American Indians are not a heartless people, for all the butchery that they have com mitted upon "the whites" in the past.- nuaavuie Btamlard, A Ijoud l)K.lntuict, ti. . lilies of (lie bauk examiners to art under the new Isiukiug ratfl by the Ut session o tlie legislature have VeeB announced attd are s ioiio.

The second is 4 man who has long been identified with the banking business and is well tilted for the posi tion. The third is well known to the people of this city and county, For about fifteen years T. E. Sanders has been in the kinking business and it us safe to say tliat there is no detail con nected with the business with which he is not familiar. This fact taken togeth er with liis pleasing address will make him one of the most efficient and popu lar examiners tliat could have been se lected. Mr. Sanders is thoroughly hon est and during his long residence in Sew ard county he lias made hosts of friends to whom the appo'Btment i highly satis factory. The Reporter believes the new law to be a good one and so long as su h selections are made to look after the hanks it will prove of immense ben efit to the people and save heavy losses to those who place their money in the banks for safe keeping, Seward Reporter, False Imports, The Rushville Standard is justly indig nant over the fact that a certain rea dent of that county wrote Governor Thayer to the effect that innocent and peaceful settlers were oeing terrorized by a band of lawless men under the self-assumed name of vigilantes. Tlie Omalia Bee reporter enlarged the already moun tainous mole hill in a half column arti cle and the Governor wrote a letter to the Sheriff of Sheridan county admon ishing him to use every effort in his power to properly enforce the law and bring the guilty parties to justice, if such a state of affairs really existed. An examination revealed the fact tliat the letter was written by a person, or bis next friend, who had such a taking way about him that nothing loose in the neighborhood was safe, and the indig nant citizens had been goaded by repeat ed losses to send him an anonymous communication, stating the time at which he was to consider himself at lib erty to leave the country. For God, and Home, and Satire Land. Contributions by the Woman's Chris tian Temperance Union. While looking up some fresh facts for our W. C. T. U. column, our hearts have been stirred within us while reading such items as these: "More than 30,000 chil dren of school age in the city of Chicago are said to be addicted to the use of strong drink." "What shall the harvest be?" "A woman from Bridgeport, Ct aged forty-five, leading a ten year old daughter by the hand,fell drunk in New York yesterday. She was jailed, and the child committed to the care of tlie Children's Society." Upon what does the success of the liq uor traffic consist? Upon debased man hood, degraded womanhood, defrauded childhood. Shall mothers hear this and be silent? Shall fathers know this and remain silent? In view of such facts as these is there no force of appeal to manly hearts in these few lines from a mother's touching cry; O man! O brothers! with votes to cast, Ye are come to the kingdom for such an hour; The hour has struck, and we stand at last Where God has granted to you the power.
