il (Which was at one time under contem'
plation) the result might be even more
disastrous than one might be able TO i'm
agine for it is hardly probable that thin
covering of earth could long stand over
such an immence cavity.
The great problem now TO be solved is
how to control this immense flow OF
water. Throwing in sand bags and rock
has proved unsuccessful, the same being
thrown out by the force of the water. An
effort was made by means of large cone
40 inches in diameter at the top and Is
inches at the bottom and forty feet long.
This immense tube was filed with stone
and cement and with heavy pile driven
down into the opening rs one would drive
a cork into the mouth of a jug. 1t went
down by slow work to a depth OF GO feet
and checked the flow for 4 little while, but
instantly while the heavy trip hammer
was working faithfully, it fell down
through 10 the bottom of the well, where
it still lies, and perhaps never can bcraised.
All that has been gained by this expert
mcnt is the knowledge that there is an
immense hol: there, not easily plugged up.
The original projectors of this enterprise
consisted in company OF citizens residing
in the immediate vicinity OF the well, and
for whose special benefit it was sunk, and
This too without the concurrence OF the
council. But after it became unmana9e-
bic, the council took the case in hand, and
IS now receiving proposals from parties
willing TO undertake the task Of controlling
the flow. Further Developments may
soon be expected.
The expense Of this strange affair would
most likely attach to the original parties
sinking the well, but the opinion seems
10 prevail that the city ought to share in
the same. The world widI fame, as well
as the possible mechanical benefit thereby
secured to the city, would suggest the pro-
priety at least, if not duty to bear also the
greater part o. expense. The expense of
bringing this immense water power under
control will cost thousands of dollars, and
should the flow even be materially dimin-
ed by closing up the mouth Of the well,
unless the whole cavity be closed, there is
danger Of a new outbreak anywhere in the
vicinity oil this place. 1t might break into
some neighboring well, and thus cause
another outburst, or it might raise the
cutire crust OF earth sufficient to form
crcvises through which the pcnt up forces
might escape, after which a collapse and
subnerging OF the whole covering of the
immense basin beneath would follow. a
pondcrous argument for the probability Of
such result is the immense deposit Of
sand and the mighty forces which upheav.

the medicinal qualities of the water are
not yet fully established. Yet many of
the inhabitants claim to have derived
much benefit by its use. 1t is cool, clear
and has pleasant, though mineral taste.

OUR neighbor, the AaO0cafe,
didn't like the appearance of Senator
Knights severe reprimand of the
administration as published last
week, and hastens to inquire what
we think of the Senator's action in
taking the $2I6 recess pay. 1t is a
very clumsy evasion Of the subject.
When the salary subject was current
The REPUBLICAN said that 1t was
a matter that every senator should
settle with his own conscience. We
have not usurped the Judicial power
to charge guilt or innocence. Our
neighbor is very ready to accept
Keatley's explanation that during
vacation he was preparing for the
trial, and the same charity should
have taught him that the SEN
ator's statement was equally
worthy of a hearing. Mr.. Young
over his signature said that he was
engaged in studying up former trials
and preparing himself for the duties
his position in the case involved; and
further that the management OF his
newspaper Office was such that he
could not alter it for the short interim,
between the adjournment Of the leg
islature and the converting of the
court of impeachment. One expla-
nation is as lucid and candid as the
other, and the latter is far more ap,
preciable to the mind of one acquaint
ed with newspaper management
1t would serve well our purpose al
this time to denounce Mr.. Keatly a:
a salary grabber, but this we have
not done. 1t has been admitted BY
all that tile salary was allowed by
the law, and if the senators anc
managers were losers by necesitatet
neglect of private bushes during the
vacation, it was their privilege tc
accept the per diem. An endeayo'
TO censure either party more thar
another is without justification in
fact. Col. Keatly was absent moro
days than any other manager during
the trial, but drew pay for the entire
session as well as vacation. The
Colonel's conduct IN the case take,
credulity as much as any one.

The Cass County Fair.

a complimentary number of Au.
dubon people attended the Cass
County fair at Atlantic last Thursday
and Friday, and they were we'll re.
paid tor their trouble and expense.
Every department was well filled
and this was especially true in stock
There were fine herds of cattle, the
best and largest being the short horn
herd of &. 5. Barclay, of West Lib
erty. \ pair of ycarllng heifers
from this herd commanded univcr-
sal admiration, and the proprietor
has refused a cool $1,000 for them.
They also had on exhibition three
year old CruiksIlanb bull that fell
but twenty pounds short of Il ton in
weight, and was of most handsome
build. Julian Phelps herd of POlled
Angus cattle, were equally
prominent though this stock has yet
to overcome a prejudice before COM
ing into popular favor. Bulen &
Hoplcy, Of Lewis, made the largest
exhibit Of horses, though there were
many other lots on the ground.
Swine was we'll represented by
many fine specimens. The many
fine carriages from the factory Of .
II. Needles were sufficient evidence
that it is not necessary to go east for
substantial and well finished work.
The Baker harbcd wire company
bad on the ground a barking ma.
chine which was run by steam.
The entire work was done by :he
machine, and the gentleman in
charge seemed more ornamental
than useful. Floral Hall was repletc
with fruit exhibits, fancy work, art,
etc, all lastly arranged, and attcsted
the advancement to wi ich our neigh
bors OF Cass have arrived. Hiram
Mendenhall entertained large gather
ings exhibiting the merits of his feed
trough, and all who became ac-
Quainted with its workings, spoke
decisively in its praise. The trotting
races of Friday were conducted
without the customary jOckcying
which is so disgusting to those who
wish to see the best horse win.
The $40 race was won by an At
lautic horse in three straight heats.
The third heat was intensely excit-
ing, and was only won by neck.
Black Rambler took second money
in the running races on Wednesday
and Friday. There were great
many confidence games and games
of chance to gam the hard earned
dollars. The wheel of fortune had
the largest patronage and earned for
its proprietGrS an amount that would
be good annual salary for the
average man. We think we saw
some of the Audubon boys bucI,ing
the wheel, with the luck common to
all. We have no hesitercy in say
ing that the Cass county fair has
not been eXcelled by any county in
the state, outside of those containing
the four or five largest cities in the
great commonwealth.

While Geo. Gray was heating a

The splendid condition of Mr.. Gray's
lungs was attested by the vigorous
manner in which he yelled "firer

IT Is a notable fact that through
out the state the nominations for
District Judges have been from the
ranks of young men. In very
sensible article upon this subject the
Carroll Herald has the following
to say in their favor:
A young man who knows the
law makes better Judge than an
old man equally qualified; besides
he has the advantage of growing,
widening and developing under ju-
dicious and judicial influences. Iowa
is right in selecting the young men
for the judicial ermine.
