gress. Notwithstanding this forcible
argument, the amendment was reject
ted and the original motion prevailed;
and the chair thereupon appointed a
committee with d. ID. Bryant, of Dane,
as chairman. In this arbitrary and
high handed proceeding not only did
the humble spirit of Green county
suffer fresh humiliation. but the
wholesome spirit, which underlies all
representative government was totally
disregarded. As there seems to be no
necessity for carrying the power of the
machine TO such an extreme in this
campaign, it must be that the Madi-
son ring have a conspiracy on foot for
1888. If there was the least spirit of
manly independence left in the party
such unseemly bossing would cause a
revolt.

ouR ARTEsIAN WELL.
Prosecution orthis Work for the Public
Benefit.


On the county hospital block, rises the
lofty derrick, marking the spot on which
is being sunk the county a~rtesian we'll.
Messrs. Swan Bros, of Hiawatha,
Kan. well known a~rtesian well contract
ors, have charge Of the work, and are
doing all that an int, lligent experience
can dictate in the prosecution of the en-
terpaise.
This well was first seriously thought OF
by the county authorities in December,
1884, and in March, 1895, the initial
business steps were taken. In April,
1885, the work was begun, and was Wig
orouslv prosecuted until June of the same
year. Owing to the peculiar formation
of the soil to be pierced, the labor was
arduous and tedious, and in June, there
fore. a cessation was ordered.
The peculiarly difficult and stubborn
character Of the soil formation has been
explained by Prof. Hayden and other
geological experts, to be due to the fact
that the ground Cheyenne stands on is
the filling, by a CONFUSION of nature, of a
wide and deep canyon. This filling is
largely composed of rock, and lts estima-
led depth is from l,200 to l,50o feet
Hence that distance has to be pierced
before the bed reck can be reached, and
under that bed rock lies the living waters
sought.
In March, 1886, the board decided to
renew the work, with a larger pipe. A
ten inch pipe had been the maximum size
heretofore used, and it was agreed to in
crease the inch capacity to twelve Ac
cordlngly loo feet of twelve inch pipe
were ordered from Pennsylvania works.
The labor strikes, however. interviewed,
and for several months the order remained
untitled.
Finally the commissioners were notified
that the pipes would be delivered in Chey-
enne about the first of this month. and
preliminary preparations were made for
the renewal of the work. The present
contractors took hold of the enterprise,
and the work Of extracting the old pipes
was begun. These pipes range from four
to ten inches and have been sunk to a
depth of 800 feet They will probably
be out of the way by the time the other
and larger replacing pipe arrives.
These old pipes are in first class condi-
ton, and will be used as a continuation
of the twelve inch pipes. 1t is the inten-
ton Of the commissioners to sink the
twelve inch pipes to the full depth already
reached, and then use the smaller pipe,
ranging from ten to four inches to go
deeper A foar inch pipe is the mini
nun size which can be utilized in work
of this character.
Up to the temporary abandonment of
the work in June, 1855, the total expen
diture amounted to about 50, 900. OF this
over $4,000 was for iron pipings alone.
Great hopes are entertained of final
success, the larger size of the first pipes
being a heavy factor in the increased
promise of the future.
