It Was a Narrow Kscnpc.
Thomas Oeerwestcr , the one-armed second
hand dealer on Upper Hroiidway , Is very well
pleased to think ho Is still allvo. Ho i.s con
fident that ho came within an nco of waking
up dead yesterday .morning. One of the bul
lets from Sergeant Snfely's revolver , llrod
after a fleeing piIsoner , went through the
window of Peonvestcr's bedroom and lodged
In the head board of the bed about a foot
above the head of that individual. It shows
that the shooting was almost crlmimillv care
less , and It was only by the merest chance
that a tragedy was not the result.
Said a cltl/en last evening ;
" 1 don't know as U makes much difference
whether a man Is Idtuxl by a crook or an ofll-
cer. As far a.s I am concerned , It would bo
but little satisfaction to 1m killed just because
my executioner was a policeman. It seems tome
mo that It ought to reiiulro unite an olTenso
to bo committed before an officer is Justified
in shooting. In this case no convict would
hnvoeseiii > eil , and no great crime would have
been committed If that boy got away ; In fact ,
ho got away as It was , ami the lives of oltl-
jrcns were needlessly endangered. The notion
lulls for the severest criticism. "

The case against Attorney Shea for fast
driving and assaulting Officer Wagcck was
called before Judge McGco at 5 o'clock yes
terday afternoon. City Attorney Stewart
appeared for the nrosocutlon and Mr. Shea
was prepared to conduct his own ease. The
charge of fast driving was dismissed nnd at
Mr. Shea's request the other case was con
tinued nut it Friday afternoon at a o'clock.
The great interest felt In the case wns evi
denced by the largo number of spectators who
filled the court room at the appointed hour.
The generally expressed sentiment was ono
of sympathy for Mr. Shea and indignation
against the ofllclous policeman whoso rankness -
ness precipitated the assault. Mr. Shea has
a largo number of witnesses who were pres
ent during- the entire proceeding and there
will bo no lack of evidence introduced in the
caso.
There Is small probability , however , that
any cltl/.en will. hereafter bo molested by Mr.
Wagcck , as he has been unwillingly retired
into innocuous desuetude. Several complaints
were lodged with Mayor Macrae against him
and when the mayor understood the situation
ho promptly telephoned Chief Gary to imme
diately lay off the offending ollleer. There
was apparently no end to the complaints , but
the majority of them weiv with reference to
the ollicer's penchant for holding up
everybody wlio came In his way
after 0 or 10 o'clock at night.
Among those who were thus stopped were a
lady teacher in the public seliools of the city
accompanied by two brothers ; a member of a
leading law firm ; n lady stenographer who is
frequently employed in superior court , and
two ladies nearly seventy years of ago who
were crossing the street to their homo after
an early evening call.
So much indignation and dissatisfaction
was expressed by the residents of tlio Fourth
ward , where the incompetent officer was sta
tioned , that a petition for his removal was
drawn up and circulated by Fred L. Kimball -
ball , of the Kimball-Cliamp Investment com
pany. It was numerously signed , but there
was no necessity for it , however , as the mayor
ordered the ofllcial decapitation of the peeler
before the petition was presented.
Another patrolman who i.s determined on
making n record for himself is John McGill ,
who has Just moved to thp city from Boomer
township. As soon as lie arrived hero and
his family win comfortably .settled ho was
handed a club , star and dark clantcrn nnd in
structed to wage warfare against all the evil
doers who are prone to run at largo in a
prosperous city. Tuesday night ho con
cluded that it was time for him to corral a
suspicious character , and about 10 o'clock hemet
met Mr. Ellhii Meyers , imimiger'of the local
ofllco of the Western Union telegraph ofllco.
Ho promptly seized him and started for the
station. Meyers remonstrated and told who
ho was , but McGill was not satisfied and
would not release his prisoner until ho called
several parties out of the Ogden house to
Identify him , after which Meyers was
allowed to proceed. McGill is tlio officer
who failed to get into the good graces of the
vounger people in his part of the city by a
little piece of indiscretion shortly alter he
was appointed. Ho spied a young ladv and
her escort as they reached home , and Incon
siderately refused to turn his head while the
fond farewell was said. Instead of that ho
paced back and in front of the gate until the
enraged youth said a chilly goodnight and de
parted. The ofllcer evidently Intends to do
his work faithfully , but needs a little moro
thorough instructions us to the duties he Is
expected to perform.

Iliuulrcil DollarH Proba
bility of a Hixly of Underlying -
lying Water.
Piniinn , S. D. , April 20. [ Special to Tin :
Br.K. ] South Dakota's first artesian well
was completed In 1SS4 nt Audover , Day
county , twenty miles east of the James river.
Since that time over ono hundred artesian
wells have been sunk In the state , which are
scattered through some twenty counties.
They flow at the rate of from 11 to 4KK ( ) gal-
Ions per minute. That at Jamestown , N.
D. , supplies the city with w.iter , and the sup
ply continues as good as at the first. A few
have been sunk as far north as Devil's Lake ,
n the northern part of North Dakota. Atten
tion Is now directed to the question whether
these wells can bo multiplied sufficiently to
supply the needed moisture for the raising of
crops throughout this region of North and
South Dakota. The experience of Colorado
proves that a steady , though limited supply
of water from a stream , to bo had when It Is
required , Is Infinitely better than the most
ample supply from the clouds , coming irregu
larly and at inopportune times. Under the
system of artificial Irrigation in use In
the vicinity of Greeloy , two and even throe
excellent crops In u season are produced year
after vear with unfailing regularity , where
before only ono crop , and that sparco and un
certain , was raised. In the central Dakotas ,
with their superior soil adapted to the grow
ing of all kinds of crops of grasses , grains ,
vegetables and fruits the whole country
would become a garden , if only the supply of
water at precisely the needed times could bo
secured.
Tlio following counties In the southeastern
part of South Dakota are underlaid with
granite , Jasper , etc. , and It Is certain that ar
tesian wells cannot bo had within their bor
ders : Union , Clay , Lincoln , Alorna , Yank-
ton. Hutehinson , Housc.McCook , Allnnehaha ,
Moody and Lake ; and it is thought to be im
probable that Urookings , Hamlln. Deuel.
Coddington , Grant , Hobcrts and Marshall
counties can have artesian wells. These are
the counties which Ho along the eastern bor
der of Iho state. In other words , that por-
of South Dakota cast of the valley of the
James river must depend on natural condi
tions for its water. It is _ within the val
ley of the James river that the
wells above referral to have been
sunk , and they exist all the way
from Vermillion in the extreme southeast , to
Jamestown , North Dakota , midway between
Fargo and IJismarek on the Northern Pacific
railroad. There are in the valley of the James
river in South Dakota some twenty-five
counties which are supposed to bo underlaid
with a supply of water. A few wells have
been sunk towards the Missouri river ,
and from the general geological structure of
this region it Is theoretically supposed that
the basin extends to the Missouri river and
perhaps stretches beyond that stream.
Thus far the multiplication of wells in the
valley of the James has been attended with
no diminution of the flow of water. What
would bo the tilTect of sinking iv thousand or
fifteen hundred wells , however , is , therefore ,
a matter purely of conjecture. It all depends
on tho'thickness of the water-bearing strata ,
the character of the underlying beds , and the
location and extent of the collecting area. So
far as tlio surface is concerned , there is very
'
little of the James river area which could no't
bo readily reached by the flow of wells along
the valley. It is calculated thut of
wells flowing 100 barrels a ininuto
and furnishing r.-MKHKI , ( ) , ( barrels
of water a year , seven in each township
would provide an amount of water equal to
the present annual rainfall , and one-half Of
this amount would bo amply sufllcicnt for all
purposes of irrigation. Tlio cost of twenty-
t'oiir-inch wells ha.i been thus Tar from S7.V ) at
Vermillion , where the water is struck at a
depth of 750 feet , to $7,000 at Jamestown ,
where they penetrate to a depth of 1,57(5 ( feet
before reaching the water. It is thought that
the average cost of wells , taking the whole
country through , would not exceed $1,500.
Jamestown is 1I95 , ! feet above the sea and the
fall from there to Yorktown is less than ono
foot to the mile. From Bismarck eastward to
the Hod river vallev there is a gradual de
scent , and Devil's lake , 120 miles north , is 200
feet lower than is Bismarck. There is ,
therefore , nothing in the general conforma
tion of the country to prevent the water from
the , Missouri river being turned into the ter
ritory 150 miles east and southward along
each side of the James river valley.
It has been suggested that a
survey by the United States
topographers , would readily determine the
whole question. The two Dakotas have paid
into the national treasury some $ 'iOOoO,000 for
lands lying within their borders , and the people
ple of those states have invested twice as
much moro in improving nnd developing those
lands. It would seem that there could bo no
valid objection to the government taking hold
of this work and paying back a small portion
of that largo sum for the purpose of determin
ing the practicability of irrigation.
It has been suggested indeed it is supposed
posed- that there is a subterranean stream
flowing not only down the valley of the .lames
river , but along that line of the Missouri
river from the mountains in Montana. If
that ho so , the urea covered by its waters
must bo as great as is that of Lakes Superior ,
Huron and Allchigan combined. Tlio visitor
to the Great Falls of the Missouri river , 120
miles east of Helena , has his attention called
to n spring , the largest , most steady and
purest kilown in this country. It bursts
forth literally in a flood , eight
feet above the banks of the
river and adds its enormous volume
to the waters of that stream. Lewis and
Clark , in their famous expedition three-quar
ters of a century ago , visited this spring , and
were impressed with the magnitude and mag
nificence of Its volume. Scientific men who
have since visited it all agree that its source
i.s subterranean. The waters which flow
millions and millions of gallons every hour
into the Missouri river are of a pun * , brill
iant crystal and are wholly different from
those of the surface stream. From whence
do they comef Whither does tlio greater vol
ume far below the surface of which they
were a part flow * Tlio probability is that
they are from an underground stream which ,
tog-other with Urn Missouri above thorn ami
with the James four hundred miles further
c ist , are supplied from the Kooky mountain
s.iows.
The people of North and South Dakota are
united in wishing the general government to
aid them In Milking artesian wells nt points
along this supposed underground stream in
a manner to determine definitely and
conclublvely once for all the extent
and volume of its waters. It is
cortalnly of the first Importance to ascertain
what this subterranean current really
amounts to , and to what extent its resources
may bo drawn upon for the Improvement of
the now semi-arid lands of the western
Dakotas and .Montana. Whllo these states
are not in the arid bolt pvnpcr , they border
Uion | it and are affected by its conditions. The
chief dllllculty alike with all thcso states lies
less lu the want of precipitation of water
than In Its uncertainties ; it cannot bo de
pended on to como at the right time and In
adequate measure from the clouds. Farming
by Irrigation is the sclentitio way of cultiva
tion. It is the only sure means by which
agriculture can bo thoroughly and success-
f nUy carried on In the whole section extend
ing from the Missouri river in Dakota ,
through Montana , Idaho nnd eastern Wash
ington to the Caseado mountains. Largo portions
tions of those areas must bo irrigated to pro
duce crops. With irrigation the soil in all
thcso vast sections Is uncquuled , not merelv
for stock raising , but for the production of all
the crops of thu tcinj > enito zone , save com
alone. Its gently rolling expanse possesses u
capacity for production which seems incredi
ble to us on the fertile and well watered
plains of Nebraska. When it can bo said that
the two Dakotos , with less than ono-thir-
teenth of their surface under cultivation
7,000,000 of acres out of W.OOO.OOO-already ,
Without Irrigation produces 70,000,000 bushels
of wheat , S0,000ooo , bushels 9f oats , lO.OQO.OOO
bus'iels of barley nnd fiOiVOOo ) bushels of po
tatoes ( with South Dakota already producing
! IS,000,000 bushels of corn ) each year , it faint
idea may bo formed of the possibilities which
He wrapped up In the larger und at present
[ dry and unproductive portion of their terri
tory , not to spcnk i < r the great consequences
which will surely irffeml the advent of water
nnd the plow ' : In the far larger
regions that stretch awnv 1,000 tnilcn
to the west. TfT by tisfng the water
of the Hed Ktyw on the cast , of the
Missouri river on Jth'-west ' , mid these of the
proposed artesian well system moiltf the val
ley of the James/ such a command of the soil
could IMI acquired , iv would give It nt Just the
proper tlmo nil the moisture it needs , almost
another world's supplv of wheat nnd other
small grains , together with the root crops and
the fruits , could bo grown In North nun South
Dakota alone.
The Importance1 , 'therefore , of practically
testing the question of nn artesian supply is
all-eady Imperative ; It should lie done us soon
ns Is possible , unit with tlio utmost care nnd
thoroughness. 'IW legislature of South Da
kota has passed ( hreo bills one , In cnso n
government appropriation Is made , to create
nnd appoint nn engineer of irrigation ; an
other , granting to companies that own or
lease the land , power to sink wells and
to dispose of the surplus water , whluh
will bo taken advantage of this spring by
several comimnles that are already formed ;
and a third.'glvlng to counties the tight to
issue bonds for sliming artesian wells. Thu
last territorial legislature also authorized the
sinking of artesian wells upon the i > c.tltion of
n certain number of the residents of a town
ship. The senators and representatives from
North and South Dakota have made the sul -
Ject of irrigation In some sort a lobby during
the present session of congress , nnd , I under
stand , with such success as to secure n liberal
appropriation for this purpose. South Dakota
has secured the sen-ices of Prof. Bailey of
the school of mines at Kapld City to take
charge of the work on the part of the state.
With a proper outlay and enterprise , the
coming year ought to 'determine once for all
this question In its practical bearings.

not fail to bo'of interest. On his pus-
siiffo from England , and while about 2.
of south latitude nnd 2i ( = of west longi
tude , lie was called up by tlio captain
about 10tO : ; o'olock at night.
"When I reached the deck ono of Iho
most magnificent scenes imaginable pre
sented iUelf. All around the ship , to an
great a distance as the eye could reach ,
the swell , which was running pretty
high , was emitting from its surface at
short intervals long , broad sheets of
phosphorescent light , whieh continued
bright only a second or two and then
disappeared.
"The continued glare of thcso long
streams of light , their sudden appear-
unco and disappearance , as if detached
portions of sheet lightning , were Hash
ing from wave to wave , gave a wild and
terrific aspect tp the snrfaeo of the
ocean. * The reilc-otion from it was so
great that the sails of the ship were il
luminated by the glare.
"The ship's wuko for about fifty yards
was one continuous stream of pale yel
low light , upon .which , over and anon ,
were floating away and becoming extinct
curious masses of "it circular shape , vary
ing from half a , foot to two feet in
breadth , of a livid hue , similar to that
wliieli burning s\ilphiir emits. These
musses retained their livid , llamo-liko
appearance till they were about six or
eight yards from the ship , their beauti
ful color contrasting singularly with
the pulo yellow stream on whieh they
flouted.
'This curious state of the sea lasted
only about a quarter of an hour , after
which the -water assumed its usual as
pect , the foam at the ship's bow present
ing only the sjnirkling appearance whieh
it usually exhibits in thu'lropies.
"It is well known that the circular
masses of light whieh I have described
arc produced from aggregated masses of
very small marine animals , to which tbo
name of pyrosoma is given. J did not ,
however , capture any , as my lowing net
was at this time out Of order , but during
my voyage to Ceylon 1 was more fortunate
tunate/
"On November 2'i , in I0 ! or - > ° of
north Inttitude and 2:1 : = of west longi
tude , with cloudy weather and the ther
mometer "at 81 ° at noon , wo came
shortly after dark into a field of these
animals , and though the brilliancy of
the light was not so great as on the
former occasion , they were more numer
ous , for tlio ship Milled through them for
several hours.
"They were seen in broad shoals at
great but irregular distances from each
other. The towing net soon procured
mo a largo supply of the extraordinary
animals of whieh the shoals wore com
posed. Tlioy give out a bright , pale ,
yellowish-green light , whieh they re
tained for homo time after they were
brought on board.
"Kiich mass was shaped not unlike the
finger of a glove , being hollow and
closed ul ono end. They varied a little
in size , but were generally about four
inches in length. Tlio little animals of
which these masses are made up are
placed horizontally , and llo closely
packed over each other , their heads be
ing toward the outer snrfaeo. When
kept in u glass in salt water they soon
separated from each other , and being
very transparent , wore then scarcely to
bo distinguished from the water. They
taste exactly like fresh oysters.
Persons That Turn In Air.
Nearly two hundred people mysteriously
iously disappeared from the city of 1'hll-
udolphiu ( luring the year ending with
the opening of the present month , wiys
the St. Louis Republic. This is a re
markable exhibit and ono whieh reminds
Uie writer of an article which appeared
in n French sciontillc journal two or
three years ago , wherein the author ml-
vanees the idea that deatli is occasion
ally actual dissolution. It is a dis
ease , the writer referred to maintains ,
but one frmtr which there is
no sulToring ; > there is no illness
or warning of , " upprouching end ; the
patient suddenly erases to exist and as
suddenly fades from sight. Ho says ho
has actually wilauiss-ed this phenomenon ,
and that hevu .at ono time walking
with n friend wjio suddenly vanished ami
lias never rcappWred. With such con
clusive testimon hohns little doubt that
many persons searched for have actually
melted into thijf idr. llo further states
that at tlio moment his friend disap
peared , a strong sulphurous odor por-
vudcd the atmosphere.
The Czarjtj'Winter Palaoo.
The huge wlofqr palace at St. Peters
burg , with tlio exception of the Vatican
and Torsaillos , is the largest palace in
the world intended for a residence , and
though rococo , has u certain grandeur
from its immensity. Like all ttio Kus-
slan palaces , the winter palace is a mix
ture of splendor and shaliblness , luxury
and discomfort. In going over il visit
ors see everything gorgeously adapted
for state ceremonials , but wonder now
and whore the imperial family can live.

The Hnrdin County , Iowa , Myatery Will
Probably Bo Solved Today.
A GREAT SENSATION EXPECTED.
WarrnnlH Out fur I he ArrcHt of Prom
inent Cltl/.eiiH for Complicity In
tin ; Murder oC Henry
I'lvu Y nr A o.
KMIOIIA , In. , April 2.1. - [ Special to TNI :
Bui-Tho : ] old saying that "murder will
out" Is likely to prove true In the case of the
killing of Henry Johns In this county several
years ago , which has no long remained it
mystery. Tor two years .1. C. Burke , n de
tective , has l > ccii at work on the case nnd It
I.s said has secured a largo mass of evidence
which will implicate. In the crime a number
of men who are prominent hi the county , In
cluding bankers , real estate dealers and
other * . The trim facts will probably bo
brought out hi the preliminary examination
tomorrow of Marx and Hlco , who were ar
rested In California recently ny Burke as the
principals In the crime.
On April 10,1 & $ . " > , Henry Johns , n wealthy
farmer living ono and a half miles west of
Abbott , was shot from jimlmsh. Ho had
been nt Htdor.i on business nnd returned to
Abbott by train , arriving there about ! ) p. in.
The night was Intensely dark. Johns
was met at Abbott by his son
and liireu man with a carriage. The
three hud proceeded but half a mlle when
they were fired upon , killing ono horse nnd
wounding Johns In the left arm nnd tearing
the clothing from Ids chest. Ho fell from the
curriago and remained motionless , and heard
several voices which , according to his mile-
mortem statement , ho recognized. Ills death
occurred in two months from the effects of
the Injuries received. The grand Jury In
vestigated the case , but could not secure
evidence to Indict.
D'i'wo weeks after the death of Johns , Matieh
and Finn liainsbargcr were taken from the El
dorado Jail by a mob numbering ' , ' 00 men and
killed. An attack had been made upon two
doctors In the Uainsbarger country about
sundown on Juno -1 , Ifefjft , and the evidence
| > olnted so strongly to the Halns-
iwrgers that they were arrested
the following day , nnd that night
their eases were taken before a higher judge.
These events so intimidated the Uainsbarger-
Johns gang that they made little or no effort
to secure evidence against the murderers of
Johns and the regulators for some time.
For two years und a half this county has
enjoyed entire freedom from crime , and the
people had begun to congratulate themselves
that all trouble was over. But now fresh in
terest luis been added to the events of a few
years ago by the arrest in California of
Charles Marx and N. J. Kicc , former resi
dents of Abbott , on the" charge of murdering
Henry Johns. The preliminary examination
tomorrow promises to implicate u number of
men who now stand high in the county , and
make one of the greatest sensations of the
day. Warrants have not yet been served ,
but will soon be , for the arrest of AV. P.
Hiserodtof Kobertson , A. A. Noycs , Amos
Bannigan and others ut Steamboat Hock.
Hiscrodt i.s the reputed leader of the regu
lators , Noyes is an ex-banker nt Steamboat
Hock and Bannigan i.s an ex-member of the
Kainsbargergang , who left them to save
himself and testified against ttieni. Tlio state
will undertake to prove that Hice , Hiscrodt
and liannigtan did tlio shooting , while a
dozen others were present as accessories.
Hardin county fins been the theater of
crime for over thirty years. What is known
as the "big woods" north of Steamboat Kock ,
has furnished excellent protection to crimi
nals. The Kainsbargers , Johns , Coppers ,
Johnson ( who was murdered by the Kalns-
b.irgcrs in 1S84 for furnishing evidence to the
federal ofllcers against the members of the
gang for counterfeiting , for whoso murder
Frank and Nato Uainsbarger are now serving
lifo sentences ) , Bannigans , Graves , Jack
Held and others settled adjacent. For years
they were unmolested , the people whom they
had plundered not daring to prosecute for
fear of suffering in life and property. Two
or three times the federal ofticcrs got after
members of the gang , and it i.s said .secured a
lot of evidence whieh would have implicated ,
not only members of the gang in this and
other counties , but also some members of the
vigilance committee. It'has been suggested
that part of Steamboat Kock and the Hains-
bnrjjer neighborhood lying to the north of it
for live miles bo fenced off with a stone wall
and called the annex to the Iowa penitentiary.
Wor < lH Kitly Spoken ,
OMAHA , April iilt. To the Editor of Tin :
BII : : : In Tin : BII : : yesterday I see some
of our physicians again croaking about
Omaha's not having the age , the
reputation nor the hotel accommodations to
entertain the American medical association.
Let me ask which of these facilities or ad
vantages Newport , U. I. , offered to secure the
meeting for ISS'J. Or did Richmond , Va.
have bolter hotel facilities when it enter
tained the association in ISSH The same
question might be applied to Atlanta On. ,
which had the meeting in IS * ! ) . And yet all
these meetings were reported as successfull.
How about Na.shvlllo this year I Do they
mesln to say that Nashville offers better hotel
facilities thanOiiMhai
Shame on these men who have attained
wealth and reputation in Omaha , who owe
all they are and all they have to this city , and
yet are unwilling to use some of this wealth
lor the benefit of its Inhabitants ! They have
gone to other meetings , enjoyed the hospital
ity of other cities and when a chance i.s offer
ed to return this hospitality they stand back
and sav "Wo can't afford It. " Or are they
afraid that by attracting the attention of the
doctors throughout the United States to
Omaha they might get a few more competitors
ami thus have to give up some of their luer.i-
tivo practice.
Every member of the committee stands
ready to go down into his pocket for W > , ( > 0
or oven fTX ) ( ) ( ) If necessary In order that the
reputation of the medical profession of
Omaha and Its citl/ens for hospitality may
bo maintained. In fact the committee has
not worried Itself about the financial part of
the undertaking MJ far , being assured by
prominent citizens that if the meeting i.s enco
located hero our liberal spirited public will
not have to stand moro than its proportion of
the expense. C'IIAUI.C.S KO IWAI ; in. :
Catarrh
IS a blood disease. Until tno poison I.I
oxpulled from the system , there can
bo no euro for this loalhsoiro and
dangerous malady. Therefore , thu only
effective treatment is a thorough conrso
of Ayor's Sunmimrlllu the best of all
blood purillurs. The sooner you begin
the better ; delay Is daiigurous ,
"I was troubled with catanh for over
two years. I tiled vaiious remedies ,
und was treated by n number of phvsl-
rtaiiH , but received no benefit until I
began to take Ayer's Sarsap.irllla. A
few bottles of this medicine cured mo of
tills troublesome complaint and com-
iiletely restored my health. " Jesau fll.
lloggs , Hobnail's .Mills , N. O.
"Whnn Ayer's Sarmipnrllln was rec
ommended to mo for catarrli ! I was In
clined to doubt its ollicacy. Having
tried HO many remedies , with little ben
efit , I had no faith that anything would
euro me. I bccanio emaciated from loss
of uppetlto and Impaired digestion. I
Imd nearly lost the junso of Hindi , and
my systuin was badly dorangfd. I wan
about discouraged , when u fr nd urged
rno to try Ayer's Sarsnparllla , and 10-
fcrred me to persons whom It had cured
of catarrh. After taking half a dozen
bottles of this medicine , I am convinced
that thu only sure way of treating this
