In COOLIDGE there is an ARTISAN well
which flows at the rate of two barrels
per minute which is calculated to be
sufficient water to supply city of TO-
600 inhabitants. When Prof. Hammond
has found the four foot vein of coal he
is after out north of Great Bend we
will have him locate us some ARTISAN
wells. He claims we have abundance
of artisan water under this city.

WE NOTICED one republican leader,
a regular fire eater and bloody shirt
singer, trying to entice a wavering
brother away from the union labor
speaking in the court yard Saturday
afternoon. This instance is comment
ed upon simply to show that the one
idead fellows are afraid for the men in
their party who are honest enough to
want to hear all sides of the question
to listen even to a hungry, lazy and
lousy fellow like Hon. Moses Hull.
Great indeed is the republican party!
But thank the Lord it does not own the
earth-and is rapidly loosing it's title to
Kansas.

Mr. Merritts troubles nre primarily attrib-

boycotted by the Central Labor Union. This
put back his building operations nearly year.
and prevented him from completing all his

FRUIT ALONG THE HUDSON
Not Half n Crop OF Berries and Peaches,

but - Largo Yield or Grapes aud Apples.
KINGsON n. Y. June 16.-Many glowing
and exaggerated reports have recently been
published relative to tho fruit crop along the
Hudson. In reply to communications sent to
leading fruit growers by THE Suns corre-
spondent upward OF fifty points In tho fruit
growing districts have been heard from. These
show that the strawberry crop. OF which the
first shipments have Just been made will not
be up to tho average In point Of yield. The
berries are ripening slowly. The fruit, how
ever. is large and juicy There will not be
over one-third Of crop Of raspberries,
many Of the vines having been killed by
the severe weather during the winter. Ono Of
the Oldest fruit growers along the river writes
that, in his opinion. the raspberry yield in the
Hudson River districts will never be as large as
In past years. Peaches will be scarce. Some Of
the growers think that. Notwithstanding the

they are sold ut from two to three cents a
