An account of the operations con-
nected with tho object of finding water
Ill the desert tracts of Southern Tunis
has been given by NJ. Ferdinand de
Lesseps ut meeting of the French
Geographical Society. Two years ago
he visited the region of the Tunisian
Shotrs, and while there he observed on
the banks of the Wady Malah lake in
which the levi OF water never sinks.
The water of this lake was excellent and
he inferred that the source of the supply
MAS a deep underlying store of water.
He therefore requisite the engineers to
make behring's or to sink a well at that
spot. Success rewarded the effort At
a depth of ninetv-one meters the sus-
pected sheet Of water was tapped. The
Hood rushed from the ground with such
velocity that it raised with it stones
weighing twelve Kilograms. and threw
them to great height into the air.
This we'll yields 5000 cubic meters of
water per minute.

DRY GoODS.
WOODWARD & LoTHRoP.
e" H0Iy 2rcen MnSliHs.

We make it rule never
to buy a line of goods and
make a price on the same
with the deliberate intention
of making a higher price a
day, week, or month later.
Yet we have done this very
thing. Our reasons are these:
Notwithstanding the overpro-
duction by nearly all the mills
now producing Shirtings and
Sheetings, a certain manu-
featuring company has pro-
duced an entirely new line Of
goods, comprising Muslins,
Shirtings, Skirtings, Ca m
brics, Percales, and Pillow
Case Muslins, and, in order
to introduce them, have taken
the extraordinary plan of
placing them before the re-
tail trade at less price than
the actual net cost Of manu-
facture $50 they say. At
any rate, the goods are of
such excellent quality and
value that we have obtained
control of them for this mar
ket, and invite our customers
to carefully inspect them for
the following reasons:
I. Fineness of material
and beauty Of manufacture,
thereby preventing cracking.
2. Entire freedom from
starch and dressing, insuring
ease in making and running
through the sewing machine.
3. Retain their whiteness
after the most thorough wear
and laundering.
a. Made offine, soft, firmly
twisted thread, guaranteeing
durability.

FRANK wARp,s HORSES.

lie Moves Them From Third Street In the
Bitter Cold to Satisfy tho Order Of the
Court.
Frank X. Ward is proving his willingness to
obey the order Of tho court to abandon his
property on Third street, which he built there
through hard work and many doprivations, by
putting his horses and men on the street yes.
tcrday in the biting cold before any place had
been secured to house them. lie went there
with small capital and few friends, aud moth
ing but an indomitable will crowned his
laburs with success. When Judge IIagner first
decided that the enterprise must so despite
the money involved Mr.. Ward began to Won
der what encouragement there was for busl.
ness in this city. lie had brought that
of the dairy into respeCt0bility, and found
all his improvements In wagons, cans, &c.
copied by his opponents In the trade, who,
while initiating his advances, worked their
best to secure his destruction. Knowing that
in other communities business was fostered
and encouraged, aud like ElverSon in Phila.
delphia, would not be destroyed for fancinil
or imaginary cause, be believed that tho
courts would still sustain him and carried his
case to the general term. When the case came
on for hearing he got another set back in find
ing that the Judge who held against him be-
low was to sit with others IN review, and TO be
successful he felt that he must convince the
remaining two, Of the justice Of his cause; In
final decree the decision went against him,
Being irrepresslblc, and while yielding obe
dicnce to tho court he determined not TO
sacrifice the valuable plant he had located.
lie purchased ground on d street, and thereon
erected Il handsome structure aud one. too,
which has enhanced tho value of the adjacent
property. II took time, Of course, TO get the
building complete and ready for occupancy,
but with all speed he could apply he could not
get II in readiness to vacate on Third street
soon enough to please those who have been
crowding him out of that neighborhood. SO
they went TO the court, and tried TO have him
punished for contempt in falling to obey
the order Of removal, when 1t was
known that he was v1cating ns rapidly
rs circumstances would permit. lie was or
derCd TO have his horses out yesterday, and to
show that he bowed to the law the animals
were taken from their warm stables and kent
some time in the severe cold weather, and
until he found shelter for them.
Mr. Ward has a host of friends In this city
and the prosecutions made upon him recently
In different ways has added TO the number,
as such q course of procedure by mans enc
mics generally does.

dence of this simple yet important

since its introduction by us, only a

cant fact that this remarkable in

for loading wheat in car load lots with
out being compelled to pay exorbitant
tribute to the elevator. We demand
the right of constructing grain houses
and elevators, regardless of size or
number at all regular stations. Ifany-
thing can excel in audacity, the as
sumption by railroad company of
the right to re sulate the number and
size of the elevators along its line, it
is the assumption that wheat once
shipped must pay freight to the end
of the line, regardless of the wish of
the shipper. Break up the transit
system; give us reasonable rates by
tle shortest routes to the market Of
our choice. What We want is freedom
not regulation. 1t may be right to
regulate the elevators, but unless the

and prevent railroad discrimination,
