The predicted cooler weather oc-
Cured this morning and was Il delight
full change. Ram is greatly needed rs
the most of the wells in the city have
gone dry and clsterns are empty. There
never was time when there was such
scarcity of water. The past two dry sea-
sons have taken about all the moisture
out of the ground, and it is fine illustra-
ton of the excellence of Blue Earth
county soil that it has produced such
large crops.

are favorable steps will be
taken to organize company. The
springs number ten, in a very small
space of ground, and the largest one
flows large stream. The force will be
tested, in order to see how high it will
carry itself if piped. DR.. kilyerington
says that he knows where there is plen-
ty of capital ready to take up the matter
as soon as a favorable report is received.
In that case large hotel Is likely to he
built and sanItarium started.
