PIEIIKR , S. D. , Dec. 2G.-Spoelal.1-Thc (
report nf the mate engineer ot Irrigation ,
Hon. J. II. Iiuldwln ot St. Laurence , Is ono
for which tile legislature this winter should
make an appropriation for Its printing and
circulation. It Is full of Information as to
the artcslnn system of South Dakota , with
statement * of results ot Irrigation In differ-
out portions ot thu state , and practical sug
gestions an to the best manner to conduct
this work.
Comparatively few wells have been sunk
by the public In I.VJG on account ot Investors
being afraid of the bonds Issued for this
purpose , their tear being founded on tlio de
cision of the California supreme court on
the Wright low , which Is very similar to
the law of till ; ; state. Hut now that the
United States supreme court hat ; sustained
that law , the doubt will be removed , and
bonds for the purpose of sinking wells will
find a more ready market ,
lirnle county has taken the lead In the
way of sinking wells , more having been
sunk In that county than In any other in
the deep well section of the state. In that
county the county commissioners have Is
sued warrants for the purpose and collect
from the townships , and from the land dl-
icctly benefited for the purpose of payment
of the warrants. Up to the present that
county has ltueil $78,005.73 of such bonds.
ONK KKATUUK A FAILUHK.
Several counties have tried the experi
ment of purchasing well machinery and al
lowing parties who duslro to sink wells
the uxo of the machinery , and In all cases
the plan has proved a failure.
While public wells have hern delayed on
account of the failure of townehlps to float
bonds , private parties have been more active
in this line than. In past years , and a num
ber of wells have been sunk by private
capital.
A number of cares are cited where artesian
Irrigation has proved a complete success ,
and others where it has proved a falluio.
Jn the latter cases the failure has been
largely from Ignorance of the experimenter
In the right methods of applying the water ,
mid In tills line the- report Is quoted In full :
"The gieat fault with Dakota Irrlgatora
Is In using too much water. They go on
the plnn that If x llttlo water Is good more
is better , without realizing that every bit
of water In excess of what Is needed to
mature the crop is an Injury ami Icss-ons the
yield. Land should not bo soaked nor water
left on the land to exceed twenty hours
find water should not be allowed to stand
on the ground If wo wish to obtain1 the best
results , but should be spread evenly over
the ground. " The coat of an Irrigating
plant Is put at about $10 per acre on half
ecctlons
There are two classes of artesian wells
found In the state , ono the deep strong pres
sure wells and the other the shallow flowIng -
Ing wells. The deep wells ( ire found In all
counties of what IB known as the "artesian
banln of the James river valley , " and the
shallow wells from the south line of Ilcadlc
county , especially In the counties of Miner ,
Sanborn , Hutchlnson , Douglass and Yank-
ton. Hutchlnson county has about 400 of
three wells from GO to 300 feet deep ; Davl-
KOII has about 100 , which average C50 feet
In depth and flaw from 200 to .100 gallons per
minute , but there Is llttlo pressure from
these wells.
There are about 1,100 of both classes of
wells In this state , the strong pressure wells
being In the counties ot Headle , Splnk.
Drown , Fnulk , Hand , Hyde , Hughes , Je-
rauld , Hrule and ono well at Cheyenne agen
cy and ono nt Crow Creek which have been
sunk by the government.
INTI3IU3STING FKATURI3.
Special mention Is made of the wells In
Hughes county , the ono at the Locke hotel
In particular : "It Is a very fine well 1,200
feet deep , and was constructed two years
ago. The water has a very high tempera
ture 9fi degrees with a strong flow. Hut
the most remarkable thing about this well
Is the amount of gas It produces. At r
depth of 450 feet the drill went through a
hard strata of earth , and a small quantity
of gas was produced ; the flow was never
lost afterward , but constantly Increased as
the work progressed. Gas has flowed stead
ily over since , found at apparently the same
volume- . The gas has been utilized for heatIng -
Ing and lighting the hotel and the operation
of tlu > cook stoves ever since the well was
completed. U. II. Proudfoot , manager of
the hotel , estimates the gas as worth $1,500
per annum to the hotel for fuel and lights.
One peculiarity of the gas Is that It gives
no odor and Is perfectly clean , and gives a
much better light than the gas from 'the
city gas works. Gas Is also found nt tlu
well put down by the government at Chcy-
nno agency , but I do not know of any ar
rangements to utilize It. "
In regard to i > ewer from artesian wells ,
grlflt mills nro being one-rated by artesian
power at Newark , Marshall county ; Spring-
Hold , lion Honime county ; Mcllctte , Spin ) ,
county ; at Yunkton and the cities of Huron.
Aberdeen and liedfleld use the power for
their water systems. Turner & Son , who
operate the mill at Springfield , givea few
llgurcs ns to the cost of operating their mill
by artesian power : Their well , which cost
thorn $3.250 , has a pressure of eighty pounds
to the Inch and flows about 3.200 gallons per
minute. They use a slxtcon-lnch turbine
And their expense of keeping It In operation
Is about $25 per year. With this powi-r they
manufacture' from fifty to sixty barrels of
flour per day.
The durability of wells depends unou the
quality of the pipe used In their construc
tion. At Andover a well has been In opera
tion for fifteen years and Is yet In good
uhapc , whllo othws In which poor pipe was
used the piping has given otu In a few years ,
necessitating now piping at n heavy ex
pense.
COST OF TIIK WOHK.
The expense ot sinking wells has been
very much reduced by Improved methods of
construction the past lew years. The esti
mated cost of wells by present methods Is
imt nt : Two-Inch well not to exceed $1.CO
to $1.Y5 per toot ; four and ono-half-lncn
from $2.10 to $2.25 per foot ; nix-Inch not to
exceed $3 per foot.
U had been shown by chemical analysis
that there Is nothing contained In the water
which Is Injurious to plant growth. However -
over , It has been found that water from the
wells at Pierre , when applied to the soil
In the Immediate vicinity of the wells , de
stroys some kinds ot vegetation , but an
examination und analysis fchow that If the
name water Is applied to the uplands away
from the river , the result would bo the same
os that from water from other wells , tin-
fault being In the chemicals In the soil
near the wells , and not In the waler Itself.
For the best distribution of the water It
Is necessary to construct a reservoir for
the storage of the water as It flows from the
well. Hy this system from 10.000 to 12.000
gallons per minute can bo put upon the
l.ind , and two men can Irrigate ! from twelve
to fifteen acres per day.
In the construction of the reservoir It
should be built with the sides sloping In
ward , so the water will not wash It down ,
and thu embankment should be planted to
willows nnd grass to make It more Hub-
atantlal.
A large part of the rrfort U devoted to
. the several laws of the state bearing on the
sinking of wells and the use of water for
irrigating and ether domeitlc purposes.

Henry and Conrad Kppers , two of the pa
tients , from rabies. Dr. Lablndle of the In
stitute said that the deaths of the boys did
not prove that the Pasteur system was a
failure.
"We do not , " said he , "absolutely guarantee
antee- that our treatment will prevent hy
drophobia , any more than that vaccination
Is an unquestionable preventatlve against
smallpox. About one patient out of 200 we
have treated have died , while CO per cent of
those otherwise have died. We cannot tell
whether Innoculatlon has been effective
until fifteen dajs after the patient has been
treated. Kppers was bitten about the head
and neck , which were the worst parts of the
body to bo bitten. The boys were not
brought to the Institute until four days
after they had been bitten. Instead of being
sent hero Immediately. Had they come here
nt once , I believe their recovery would have
been assured. "

CHICAGO , Dec. 26. The roads riinnlng
out of Clilcngo were much disappointed thin
year over the amount of the holiday traffic.
It was Hniallcr thnu for several years past. '
anil the general opinion had been that It
would ho heavier than ever before. The
Canadian excursion business , over which
there lias been such a row and which usu
ally reaches Us climax at Christmas time ,
has panned out not over CO per cent of the
usual amount , and proves not to have been
worth all the. fighting and squabbling that
tlu > western roads have been dolnj , ' with the
fc'oo , the Canadian Pacific and the joint traf-
llc lines In order to secure what they con
sidered their portion of the business.
Railroad officials arc much worked up
over the effort that will apparently be made
at the next meeting of the Illinois legisla
ture to get the roads down to a maximum
of - cents per mile In this state. They have
been miking efforts to find who Is behind
the Idea , but have not been ublc to secure
the Information they desire. Some of the
loads declare that the central Idea comes
from the Hoard of Warehouse Commission
ers , but of this they admit they have no
direct or tangible proof.
It Is likely that a mooting of the trans
continental lines will be called for
an early date in this city. There are
several Irregularities In the matter of
through rates to the Vaclflc coast that are-
sadly In need of adjustment , and the com
mittee which put in two days last week
working on the question of circuitous routes
Is about ready to make Its report to the-
association The matter may bo settled with
out a meeting being called , but one or twu
of the roads arc loaded up with charges or
0110 tiort and another and they wish to fire
them off In good shape and It Is possible
that they will Insist upon a meeting being
held.

The mileage of new railroad track laid In
the United States during the year just
closing Is almost precisely the same as that
in lS9li. which corrected returns showed to
be 1.S03 mllcM. It Is possible that ft few
miles may bo added to the record of the past
year. Such figures show only main line
track laid and make no actual account of
the work of grading and bridge building for
the very considerable mileage which did
not reach the tracklaylng stage.
How the new mileage of 1S96 compares
with that of the previous yours of the
dccado may bo seen by the following llgurcs
compile * ! by the Railway Age : 18ST , 12,983 ;
1SS8 , 7llG ) ; ISM ) , 5.230 ; 1SUO , 5,070 ; 1891 , 4.2S1 ;
1892J.192 ; 1SU3. 2,635 ; 1SU4. 1.UI9 ; ISl'o ' , 1,803 ;
181)0. ) 1,801 ! miles.
For ten years the railway builder has
traveled a steadily descending road of ac
tivity , from 13,000 down to 1,800 miles. It
Is believed that the bottom has now been
reached and that the annual record of rail
way construction will uow begin to show an
upward tendency.
The construction work of last year was
well distributed over the country , thirty-
eight of the ferty-nlnc states and territories
having a share , although In nome states It
was excessively small. The largest mileage
was laid In California , LSO miles on eight
lines , followed by Louisiana with 1,11 miles
on live lines , Michigan with 110 miles on
eleven lines , Georgia , 97 miles on fourteen
lines , Pennsylvania , 90 miles on fifteen
lines , Florida , 79 miles on seven lines , and
&o down.
In eleven states and territories no track
was laid , these being : New Hampshire ,
Massachusetts , Rhode Island , Connecticut
Nebraska , South Dakota , Wyoming. Arizona ,
Nevada , Idaho and Now Mexico.
The great area of the south continues to
receive the benefit of a larger mileage of
new road than any other section , about G50
miles having been added In eleven of the
states commonly called southern. The cen
tral northern states , however , obtained an
addition of nearly -100 miles to their al
ready great mileage , and the southwustcrn
and I'aclllc coast country fared as well as
the history of railway Investments there
would eeein to warrant Just at present.
The railway mileage of the United States
Is now a little more than 1S2.SOO miles.

Stales circuit court torthy. This Is the last
of a scries of similar 'decrees ' which have
been made In suits In the mime parties and
for the same action , Im. . every district In
which the Insolvent .Atlantic & Pacific has
property. It Is ordered' that unless the sum
of $2.G82.S43.16 Is paid by the railroad to Its
debtors within thirty days the entire. prop
erty shall bo sold at auction at Gallup ,
Ilernallllo county , N. M.
The foreclosure proceedings were Insti
tuted by the United States Trust company
of Now York to recover the Interest on an
Issue of bonds. The bunds were In two sets ,
aggregating the sum of $1(5,000,000 ( with In
terest nt G per cent , payable annually. The
Issue was hrld In trust by the Mercantile
Trust company and was known as the mort
gage on the western division of the railroad.
A second Issue , with terms similar , was
taken by HIP Ilojton Safe Deposit hnd Trust
company. The suit came up In the United
States circuit court In 'this flty on October

report and , consequent thereupon , Judge
Ross has tiled the decree just mentioned.
The bonds , aggregating $12.000,000 , delivered
to the Iloston Safe Deposit and Trust com

to the first Issuo. It has been decided by
the court that after ( ho proceeds of the sale
have been received the complainants dis

I ) . R. McKlrath , a traveling man for the
L. G. Doup Mattrcsa company , The Murphy-
Wasey company and several other local firms ,
clmmlttod sulcldo at his residence. 1S12
Chicago street , last night , between the
hours of ( > and 7 o'clock. Ills death was dim
to n bullet from a 3S-callber revolver , the
wound being located a short dUtauco above
the right ear.
The circumstances mirroundlng the affair
are somewhat peculiar. Yesterday morning j
ho called at the factory of the Doup company i
I
pany , and , In n conversation with the man
ager , J. 11. Ditscol , appeared very depend
ent. He requested the loan of $30 , and ald
ho w Is lied to leave the city and his troubles
behind him. When questioned more closely
as to his reasons for nuch a muve , ho mild i
that his present Income from his employ- ! |
uu'iit and from the boarding house which he '
und his wife kept , had proved Inadequate , |
und he was forced to give up the struggle , i
Half the amount tequosted was given to him I
by his friend , and he left , saying that he I
would go to George II. lirower at South
Omaha and get the balance.
During the afternoon Mr. Drlscol and
Janica Tuggcrt met McKlrath near the cor
ner of Sixteenth and Dodge streetn. lie
seemed more dcnpondcnt than before , and
told them ihat ho had been unable to secure
the amount ho required from his South
Omaha friend. Ho then added that ho was
obliged to support a large family , constating
of his wife and son , a brother-in-law named
George Igoe. who has been out of work for
some time , and Mr. Igoe's mother. A handsome -
some overcoat , which his wife had given
her brother Christmas appeared to worry
him particularly , n.i he stated ho did not
consider himself In a position to make ra y
presents.
While talking In this strain ho suddenly
held out his hand to his friends and said :
"Well , old friends , good bye. " Ho then
turned on his heel and walked toward Doug
las street. The remark awakened the sus
picions of his friends that he Intended to
take some desperate course , and they fol
lowed him to the corner of Fourteenth and
Douglas streets , where , they succeeded In
overtaking him. An olllccr who stood near
by was requested to watch him while his
friends telephoned to an Intimate friend
who Is known to have exerted considerable
Influence over him. Whllo they were thus
conversing .McKlrath walked rapidly down
the street and disappeared. He had previ
ously stated , however , that he was going to
purchase a revolver with which to kill him
self , and did not wish to be followed.
Last evening about C o'clock ho returned
home , and going into the kitchen asked for
his wife. He was told that she was absent.
I'J ? then went to his room , situated In the
rear of the building on the third floor , and
this was the last seen of him alive. At S
o'clock Mrs. McHlrath sent her son Karl to
call his father , but the lad was unable to
get any response to repeated calls. At 10
o'clock Mr. llrewer called , and upon asking
to ace McKlrath was told he was In his
room. Getting no answer from several
knocks upon the door , Ilrcwcr burst It open
and discovered McEIratb dead upon the floor.
Ho had evidently sat upon the edge of the
bed , and upon the discharge of the weapon
had fallen face downward.
The deceased was 38 years of ago at tin-
time of his death and wag one of the most
popular men traveling out of this city. He
had resided In Omaha for eight years. He
leaves In addition to his own family a father ,
mother and sister , living at Macomb , III. ,
and a brother who resides in Texas. Mr.
McKlrath was a member of the A. O. U. W.
and the Modern Woodmen , who will take
charge of the funeral , which will occur Mon-
day. The remains will bo sent to Mac-
comb , III. , for Interment after an Inquest
has been held by Coroner Hurket.

A llttlo over one year ago the laboring
men of Omaha conceived the Idea of having
a place they could call "home. " where the
different labor organizations could meet ,
with lodge rooms , reading rooms , reception
rooms , etc. Out of this Idea grew the La
bor temple , which was opened to the public
January 1 , IS'JC. Helng the first Institution
of the kind established In the United States ,
It has received notice in all the labor papers ,
and has thus widely advertised Omaha.
During the last year the Labor temple
has been a great benefit to the largo number
of unemployed men In the ranks of labor. A
free labor bureau has been conducted by
Superintendent Scott , and has been the
means of assisting many worthy men In
their efforts to secure a chance to earn an
honest living.
The board of directors has arranged to
give an anniversary entertainment Wednes

In furthering It. , '
At 5 o'clock the body adjourned , after j i
nn Invitation had been extended by n local ; ,

pate in a banquet nt the Commercial Club j i |
rooms. At the conclusion of the banquet J
the men once more assembled at the I.abot I
temple , and the work of balloting for the i
ofllrers was In order. W. A. Watson was
elected as president , with C. 11. Isnrd as i
seototury and treasurer. In connection with '
!

Ono of the most Important features of the
new organization will bo the establishing of
schools of pathology at the headquarters
of tho. various districts In the state. The
local union has for snmo tlmo past conducted
a college of this description at the Labor
temple , which has been productive of ex
cellent results. Lectures on the pedal treat
ment of equities , with demonstrations by

reaches many thousands of dollars. The

thieves boarded an outgoing steamer and are
now on their way to Kurope or to ono of the <
