strong well. The first How , or the one
inppo.d by tlio old well WIIH reached
Hovoral dayH ago but did not provo
in ho of much value 'is a power pro
ducer and tlio drilling was continued
for 120 foot farther and the present
sushor was struck.
A test of tlio well IIIIH doinoiiHtratod
tliu fart that. It will furnish a pros-
MIIC equal to l < > horse power and In
t'onnoftlon with the old well will give
the milling company ahoiil riO-horno
power to UNO whloh will inoro than
tic siifllclonl to liandlo the

tapping of the lower voln of water
lias had the effect of strengthening
the old well also.
ThlH well , wo hollovo IH the largest
and strongest In t'io Htuto of No-
ImiHUn and will moan a great deal
to the town of Lynch IIH the now

niul limn the members of the milling
company uro mon who will not ho
MittHllcd to lot any of tlio power of

some tuuiuiH of using It for manufac
turing purposes.
The mill hoyH are fooling good

niul hard to Bottle the question of
cheap power and lsiv : ptilil dearly
for their oxporloneo hut the pros
pects now are that they will begin to

It Is the Intention to at once put

supply the town with light and will
also ll.x up the mill and prepare to
push business with more vigor and
will not ho dependent upon the Hfo
of a dam across the Pouca which
has proven a very uncertain power
in the past.
Since the ahovo was written the
well has been busy throwing out sand
and stone and has doubled In ItH vol

sand and atone and will perhaps for
a few days yet and as long as It does
It will gain In powor. Tlio pressure

CHICAGO'S ' FIRST RAIL SHIPMENTS
Consignments 01' Grain and Live
Stock Hauled In by the "Pioneer"
Fifty-Five Years Ago.
[ Proin Wi'dnemlny'H Dully.1
"As a live Htock market , Chicago
stands second to nouo , " said a well
known dealer yesterday. "Tho llguros
for 11102 show receipts at Chicago
that toll volumns If you Htop to con
sider their full Import. Almost eight
million head of sheep , over four mil
lion hogs , a hundred thousand horses ,
a quarter million calves and three
million cattle wore brought to the
Chicago market last year by the big
railroads that reach out , like the
Chicago & Northwestern , Into the
cattle ranges and feeding grounds
all over the west. The reports show
278,100 carloads of live stock re
ceived hero in 1902 qulto a growth
for the 55 years since the Ilrst ship
ment. "
The stockman ruminated a mo
ment. "That ilrst shipment was
ipieer , now , wasn't it ? " ho continued.
"Did you see that llttlo acccount of
It lu the papers the other day ?
Young Mllllcan Hunt , now over 80
years old , had started across the
prairies to market with a sled load
of hogs and when he got across the
Dos Piainos river ho found there was
no snow on which to draw his pigs
the rest of the Journey.
"That was hi 'IS , the year the Ga
lena road , now the Chicago & North
western , built Its ilrst ten miles ;
and young Hunt made a dicker with
tlio crew of a construction train ,
loaded ifls porkers on the train , and
rode into Chicago triumphant , behind -
hind the llttlo old 'Pioneer. '
"Was you over out to the Field
Columbian Museum' ? " ho continued.
"Well you should go out there some
day and see that old locomotive. She
stands for a good deal from Chica
go's point of view brought In the
Ilrst load of live stock , and the day
the road was opened and the mayor
and the big men of the town were
trying tlio novelty of a rldo on the
Ilrst regular train , she pulled the
ilrst rail shipment of grain into town.
Farmer out on the pralrlo hailed the
Junketers and loaded his wheat on ,
a good deal like Hunt had the hogs
carried in.
"They tell me , now , " ho wont on ,
slowly shifting his position , "that
last year that load of hogs had grown
to over 05,000 carloads of live stock
brought Into Chicago over the North
western line , and Instead of ono wagon
gen load of wheat the Northwestern
brought over 110,000,000 bushels of
grain to the city. The 'Pioneer * was
surely well named , young man , ac
cording to my view of things. "
She Made a Good Sale.

Balkan Situation.

I alien , says the Sofia correspondent of
the Times , Is waiting the presentation
! of , the Austro-HiiBslan reform program
j and some hope Is entertained here
I that it will be such as to provide real
j amelioration In Macedonia , otherwise
j war in the spring is regarded as In-
I evltable. The latest news from the
I frontier Indicates that Bulgaria Is
i continually strengthening her strate
gic positions. Troops have been bll-
letted In every village In the frontier
region. Owing to the rapid advance
of winter the condition of the refugees

Stockman Sleeping in Caboose
That Was Smashed.
CAME OUT THE ROOF SOME WAY.
A Mad Steer Which Had Been Thrown
out In the Same Manner , Lit Be-
"Tide the Man and Took a Turn at
His Helpless Frame ,
[ Fioni Wciliinmlny'n Dully. 1
The recent railroad wreck at Val
entino , In which ono caboose WIIH ut
terly demolished , concerned several
Norfolk people very materially and
a number of them today are glad they
are alive.
Allen Kuhn , who wan In the midst
of the wreck , describes ttio accident
In a graphic way. The caboose Which
was attached to the train that ho was
running with , was smashed to kind
ling wood and there was hardly that
loft when they came to take an In
voice.
Miraculous Escape of Stockman.
Ono of the most miraculous' es
capes from death that has boon re
corded , wan that of a stockman who
WIIH Hleeplng along the leather seat
of the caboose when It was Htruck.
The marvellous got-away almost
equals the notorious ecsapo which
William JonnlngH made a few years
ago down In Kaunas. The stockman ,
a well known and well-to-do , as well ,
ranchman from western Nebraska ,
heard nothing of the collision. Tlio
Ilrst thing ho know after the car In
which ho slept had boon battered to
shavings , was that ho had landed on
the right-of-way , several yards from
the track. Ho didn't know , and does
not know yet , just how It happened
that ho lit there , or how ho happened
to got out of the car. Ho does know
that ho went through the roof In some
wlinnn and 1m thinks ho oiinht tn bo
thankful for that.
Steer In Same Boat.
There was a steer in the same boat ,
so to speak. Two cars wore demol
ished and the animals , like so many
brutes In a circus nienagorio that has
gene wrong , wore turned loose. Ono
mighty monster , a burly beast , was
tossed , like so much sail , out of his
palace car upon the right-of-way. As
luck would have It , ho lit alongside of
the stockman who owned the whole
tralnload of animals.
Chance to Play Even.
The big bit of hoof saw a chance
to play oven with this helpless human
frame for shipping him him and his
brothers to market for slaughter.
' ( 'You would have mo butchered , "
suggested the Hory-oyed feeder of the
plains , In language that no gentleman
would use. "You would have mo
packed , old chap , but hesitate mo
lord. "
All the while the ranchman was
trying his level best to crawl away
from the liatoful horns , but the steer
roared and snorted and started for
the fray. Ho ground his pointed
tusks Into the gravel , licked his chops
with a tongue which will sooner or
later bo packed Into a box and sold
In Chicago for Sunday night lunch.
"I will string you upon my ivory
points , " continued the stcor.
There was a sudden whirling In
the atmosphere , a bawling out , as It
were , and the llguro of the man drop-
pen on the ether side of the barbed
wire fence.

Fremont Tribune : The fact that
an addition Is being made to the
roundhouse at Missouri Valley coupled
! with the erection of a new building
at Norfolk , leads some Fremont rail
road men to think that this place will
