George w. Cassidy ON h stump.
Ward Reflex Of October eth Hon.
George w. Cassidy, Democratic candidate
for Congress, addressed the people Of Ward
Friday evening last, at q meeting held at
the City Hall. The meeting was called to
order by Robert Briggs. The President,
In Q few felicitous remarks, introduced the
speaker, who at once proceeded to business
ss one who had been there before. To re-
produce any Of Mr.. Cassidy's address is
out Of the question, our publication day
being too near at hand. Suffice it to say,
that his position was invulnerable. He re-
viewed all the live issues in q way that
there was no comeback" and had Mr..
Daggett been here to defend himself he
would have been 80 thoroughly ''stumped"
that he could have had but little to say in
reply. The speech, Of over two hours
duration, was we'll received, and calculated
/ to command the respectful attention OF
his bearers, which it did. Mr.. Cassidy
left this morning for Osceola, and, we are
heartily pleased to say, has left favorable
impressions and many well-wishers for his
success.

Night
OF all balls and parties given on Ruby
Hill, none are more popular or more gen.
orally attended than those given by the
Miners Union. The organization have a
fine hall there, for meeting purposes and
in building the same they had an eye to
the welfare and comfort of Ruby Killers
in general. 1t is so arranged that q variety
troupe can pick the banjo, rattle the bones
and dance a jig, before or behind the
scenes, on a good stage the glee clubs can
sing to an audience as large as any hall in
Eastern Nevada can accommodate or a
hard-shell Baptist can shout to his hearts
content, and the hall will echo back his
nasal twang in tones that would bring
tears TO the eyes OF a finty-hearted sinner.
Indeed, the Miners Union have nothing
by halves in all their dealings with the
corporations or people Of Eureka District
and town they have acted in unison and
uniformity. In the construction Of their
hall on Ruby Hill they had an eye to put
ting in one Of the best floors for dancing in
the State, and II was done. Many have
remarked the same to us, and those who
attend tonight will bear put the assertion.
Tonight occurs the Sixth Annual Ball
of this organization, and the SENTINEL
feels 40 h~esitancy in guaranteeing all who
attend q pleasant time. A bright moon
will guide the Eurekans on the way, and
the management, from the hat and closk-
rooms up TO the head, will be such as TO
add to the pleasure and enjoyment Of all.
Dick James is down as Floor Director, and
he knows how to run that part Of the bust
ness. Thirty or forty OF Eureka's best
citizens are upon the Invitation Commit
tee, and most Of them will be in attend
ance.
Mikel Bros stages will run all night, so
that parties can go and come at will, and
there will probably be several Of the livery
stable carriages On the road. Frank Reigel-
huth's band, on this OCCASION, is an espe-
cially good and strong me-.
Let the dance &c on the night is sure
to be q lovely one, and every camp in the
vicinity should have representatives there.

between the granite below and the
limestone above.
Tap this rock and you have an arte-
sian well. Were it not for friction the
water at the well would rise to a level
with the head of supply in the center
Of the state, which is from 800 to 400
feet above Lake Michigan.
If the drill be put down to the Pots
dam sandstone at any point in the
southeastern part of the state, an
abundant flow of water is absolutely
certain; although the quantity and
quality are both variable, according as
the sand rock is more or less compact,
and the influx from seams, assures and
thin layers of sandstone above is more
or less lmpregnated with mineral sub
stances.

THE GIANT WE'LL.

BY test with steam gauge, under
the immediate supervision of r. B.
Whitaker, the pressure in the mains of
the artesian well, when all valves and
hydrants are closed, is found to be fully
eighty pounds to the square inch. This
indicates head Of $50 feet, and, if
wholly unobstructed, an actual flow of
81 gallons per second, or 10000 bar
rels per day. The theoretical capacity
Of the well 10 double this amount. The
working pressure in the mains is so
regulated as to be kept steadily at 30
lbs. The we'll will supply $4,000 bar
rels daily under this pressure - an
amount ample for all household and
sewerage purposes for a city of $4,000
inhabitants.
KenOsha has the Boss well of
America, and has right to be proud.

WHAT WE WANT.

What we most need in Kenosha just
now is the organization of a company
of first class cross-eyed men-men
who are capable of looking at their
neighbors' interest with one eye while
they keep the other steadily fixed upon
their own.
The city debt has been bad enough,
the Lord knows, but it has not been the
greatest curse with which Kenosha
has been afflicted during the last fiji
teen years. The great trouble with us
has been that supreme selfshness has
had worse than "third term grip
upon us. 1t has wei nigh strangled
us. Every man for himself and no
man for the good of the community
has been the rule to which there have
been very few notable exceptions.
Where are the public-spirited citizens
who are constantly on the lookout for
the opportunity Of making some per-
sonal sacrifice for the good Of the city =?
Please call off their names. A one
armed man can easily count them on
his fingers.
We have some public-spirited a00me1a,
to be sure, whose efforts to improve
the City Park are Indicative of better
times coming.
Some one suggests the Artesian Well
Company. 1t IS pretty early in the
day to speak positively upon this point,
but we must admit the omens are
good. We trust the men who compose
this company are beginning to look
crooked" and that All unusually large
and clean leaf is about to be turned
over.
Now we want to see the "Citizens'
Gas Light and Coke Co." evolve some
thing substantial from it's inner con-
seriousness.
We long to witness the street COM
missioner hurrying about as if there
were work to do; and when, in his
unwonted activity he steps through a
hole in the sidewalk OF stumbles over
cleat nailed across the ends of ha II
dozen rainbowed planks, we want
him to do something else than swear
about it.
We want merchants to offer induce
ments to Kenosha County farmers to
trade in Kenosha.
We want substantial encouragement
for new manufacturing enterprises.
We want less narrowness and selfish
ness.
We want cross-eyed men.

THE OUTLOOK.

Just before going to press, we re-
ceive news from Springfield, to the
effect that Illinois will certainly be
represented in the National Conven-
ton by forty-two Grant delegates The
two factions from Chicago agreed to
abide by the decision of the State
Convention, which then decided
against the Farwell Hall delegates.
This would seem to insure the NOM
nation of Us. Grant.
The Kenosha telegraph. [volume] (Kenosha, Wis.) 1860-1888, 1880-05-21
THE THEORY.

Suppose you place pipe twenty
feet in length in an inclined position
so that one end shall be a few feet
higher than the other. Place some
partial obstruction in the outlet, so
that water poured into the upper end
will pass through the pipe slowly. At
any point between the ends drill q
small hole and insert an upright tube.
The water will rise in this tube to a
level with the upper end of the pipe,
if the pipe be kept full.
This illustrates the principle Of ar
tesian wells. Now suppose, instead of
the pipe, two broad sheets of iron are
placed in a similar inclined position,
one above the other, and between these
sheets is layer of sand an inch or so
in thickness. If water be continuously
poured into the upper end or edge, the
sand will soon become saturated. If
hole be drilled in the upper sheet
and tube inserted, the water will rise
as before. This is a better illustration
in fact, is the exact counterpart of
all artesian wells.
Underlying the whole state Of Wis
cOnsin is bed rock of granite OF
Syenite. This bed rock comes to the
surface in the northern part of the
state, but is inclined downward to the
south and east. At Kenosha it is
buried to depth of probably about
1000 feet. Upon this is deposit OF
sand, hardened by pressure and chemi.
cal action into a rock known as Pots.
dam sandstone. This rock is at the
surface in the central part of the state
and is the cause of the sandy soil OF
Juneau, Adams, Marquette and other
central counties. Proceeding south
ward we soon find cap of limestone
known as the Lower Magnetism. This
also slopes downward toward the south
and east, parallel to the bed rock, and
separated from it by the Potsdam sand
stone, which has thickness of 500 tt
1000 feet.
Upon the Magnetism Limestone is
another thin stratum of sandstone
known as st. Peters. Above this, al
we continue south, are other layers Of
limestone, the most Important of which
is the Niagara, which may be seen al
the surface just north and west oil
Racine.
The rainfall over many thousands Of
square miles in the central portion Of
the state is upon the exposed edge, 81
to speak, of the Potsdam sandstone
This porous rock becomes thoroughly
saturated with the water, which it fill
tiers in its passage to the southeas

Many of our school houses do not
contain blackboards enough. The day
has gone by when board two feet by
five will answer for blackboard.
Map drawing is fixed fact in many of
our schools, and plenty of room is nee
essary for this exercise. Primary pu-
pills can learn more from blackboards
and slate than from books. In some
school houses blackboards cannot very
well be put on the walls, owing to the
kind OF plaster F.; but good canvass can
be bought, which will answer every
purpose.

We want cross-eyed men.

We call upon Republicans to make
up their minds to stand by the action
of the forthcoming National Conven-
ton at Chicago, and do it with will.
Without exception, every prominent
candidate for the nomination is worthy
of hearty support, and the election of
the nominee will be the success of the
party. Any professed Republican who
by cries of Imperialism" Fraud, .
Machine" &C., gives aid and comfort
to the Democratic rank and file is
worse than an open enemy. He ought
to clasp hands with his Democratic
friends at once and publicly proclaim
himself his ally.

There is an advertisement in our col
umns to which we take much pleasure
in referring our readers, because we
believe in it and can conscientiously
and heartily recommend it. We refer
to Halls Hair Remover. We remem-
Der many cases in our midst of old and
middle aged people who formerly wore
grey hair, or whose locks were thin
and faded, but who now have present
able head pieces, and with no little
pride announce to their friends that
they haven't grey hair in their heads.
It is pardonable pride, and the world
would be better off If there was more
of it, for when the aged make them
selves attractive to others they are
more certain to win and retain the es-
TEEN and respect to which a burthen
of we'll spent years entities them. Try
Halls Hair Remover if age or disease
has thinned or Whitened your locks
and you will thank us for our advice.

A Majority of the Citizens Ticket
Doubtless Elected.

{ SAN FRANCISCO, VIA CHICAGO,
March Blowing tosome mismanage-
ment on the part Of some election
officials the count is not yet complete,
but the majority Of the citizens ticket
will not vary much from 69OO. 1t is
not decided yet whether the working
men will contest the election on ac.
count of the differences Of the ballot
paper, though the report is that they
will. The facts of tho case regarding
the paper have, been ascertained to be
that the workingmen procured their
paper from the secretary state, while
the citizens union obtained their
paper from a dealer in the CITY, There
is no evidence that variation in the
color was the result of the intention
as to the change of the surveillance of
the voters rendered possible by the
difference In the color of the ballots,
but most charitable hypothesis that
was merely done to keep the run of
the voting with a view of anticipating
the result in general way. Whether
or not any contest is made, the general
impression seems to be that nothing
will come of it, as mere formality
will not be allowed to reverse a clearly
manifested will of the people.

JOHN SHERMAN, the secretary of
the treasury, has opened his own cam
paign formally, though he has been
working up his boom through agents
and secretly for several months. Last
night he delivered an artful, malig-
sant speech at Mansfield, Ohio. He
admitted that he was not looking
after his fences this time, but in the
field as q presidential candidate. He
alluded, doubtless, to Grant in saying
that he announced himself without
waiting until certain of success. Much
Of the speech was based upon war
issues and appealed directly to the
sectional prejudices of his hearers.
He dug up the bones of great battle
fields, where he never ventured dur
ing the war, and said that if the dem
ocrats carry the elections this year it
will be the success of the rebellion of
1861, and intimated that the dominant
classes in the south do not submit to
the equal rights Of all classes, and are
opposed to the power of the national
government. With such stale and
utterly false ISLANDERS he regaled his
audience.
