f. Y. Hofer. one Of the oldest
and most prosperous farmers of
Dickey county, and who owns a
large tract of valuable property near
Guelph, was pleasant caller at this
office, Tuesday. Frank at one time
shot type in IL stick and did other
newspaper work at McGregor, Iowa,
and likes to stroll around to see the
boys once in awhile.
The wrestling match that was to
come off at LaMoure tomorrow be-
tween Hull and Nichols is declared
off, as Mr.. Nichols has Il very bad
hand and cannot possibly enter the
contest. Though Nichols will be
compelled to forfeit about $50 in
money, yet it will be utterly impossi.
Die for him to wrestl., but Nichols is
ready to meet Hull at amy time his
condition will permit.
At the last meeting of the City
Council the question Of sinking al
artesian well came up. The special
committee to whom was referred the
work Of gathering information, etc,
reported favorably and upon Alder
man Boardman's suggestion a mass
meeting of citizens was called to
meet Tuesday evening next at Cor
der's Opera House to learn the views
and temper Of the people on the
question. We trust there will be
full attendance Of all citizens, and
especially tax payers, present to len'
their advice and opinions on this
point. Not only does an artesian wei
supply us with the finest fire pro.
lection, but affords the most com
plete system Of water works ant
The REPUBLICAN believes that an
artesian well III this city will pay al
interest on money expended, by the
sale Of water for hotels, manufacture
ing, private residences and bushes:
houses. The magnificent we'll at Ell
| lendale pays even more than interes
on bonds issued, and it is simply uset
for hotels and residences. Our city
has grown largely of late, we have ;
population now Of not less than 70(
people, large and expensive block:
built Of wood, and residences built o1
the same material are at the mere,
Of every spark or accident, Will
with such fire protection as an arte
sian we'll we would be absomtel
safe from that channel, reducin;
our insurance and aleviating til
strain OH our minds as we retire eac
night. Let US have an artesian vel
and at once.
