WACO'S GEYSER WELLS.
Ono of tho Rival Companies Announces It's
Determination to Sink Well In the
Valley, Thus Mining the Pressure.
Special to the Gazette.

Special to the Gazette.
WACO, TEX, Oct. a1.-Waco has two
light company and the Bell water company
both well supplied with artesian
wells. Several months ago Tom Pad
gift sunk well on lower ground
than any of the others, and it was noticed
that when his well was flowing the
wells of the two companies, situated
on much higher ground, lost part
of their flow and pressure. 1t was
known only to few, and for the time be-
ing nothing was said of it. Mr. Padgitt
turning his well over to the Bell company.
The other company has recently discovered
this and now it is generally known.
Worse than this is the announcement by
by the Waco water and light company that
they intend TO sink three wells on a lower
level than any of the others. This, it is be-
lieved, will virtually shut of the pressure of
the wells upon the hills and force Waco
back to pumping stations to secure water
supply. If the wells are bored only on ele-
vations no harm will be done, but to
do that in the valley in which
this city is situated will be death blow to
natural pressure and an injury 10 the
city.
1t is q serious question and one that in
terests every citizen of Waco. II
the Waco water and light company are al
lowed to carry out their purposes, the dam
age to Waco will be considerable and how
to prevent it is now the problem.

WASHINGTON Oct 21.-There is continued
evidence that a satisfactory solution OF our
difficulties with Chilli will soon be
reached. Minister Egan scored strong
point against the junta by his discovery of
number of precedents in support of
his position which had been estab-
lished in years past by the Gillian
government In two of these cases
the attitude of Chilli as expressed through
her diplomatic representative was agrees
sively firm, not only in granting an asylum
to political offenders, but in securing for
them guarantees of safety. The state de-
partment officials decline, however, to make
public the cases in question.

A Hard Winfer.

A remarkable period of great storms
will occur during the first half of October
says Foster, the weather prophet. There
will be three storm waves during this
storm period which will cross the conti-
nent from west to east along the usual
storm center routes. The first of these
storm waves will be most severe in the
Mississippi valley and the last one on the
Atlantic coast. The first of these storm
waves will be due to leave the Pacific
coast about September 80, cross the
ocky-Aleghany valley from October to
3 and reach the Atlantic coast about the
4th.
Accompanying this storm wave may be
expected tornadoes, cloud bursts, hail and
severe gales, and within one or two days
following it killing frosts will visit most
localities north of latitude 36, with
strong probability of fsosts much further
south. Hurricanes will develop great
force on the north Atlantic at this time.
Foster adds: "These October storms will
Indicate what the coming winter will be.
expect very great storms from the first
OF October to the last of March, and IF
this pez'nd OF storms covering the first
half OF October proves to be of more than
usual force it will indicate that have not
miscalcuated the weather and we may
then confidently expect very cold, Sc
we're and stormy winter, setting in quite
early"

Mad Crush for Land,

CHANDLER, 0. T., Sept. 29.-The town
site was opened late yesterday by Governor
Steele. 1t WAS terrible scene, men and
women rushed like maniacs for town lots.
People on foot and horseback climbed
up the mountain like soldiers charging a
fortress.
Miss Daisy, a representative of the
Daily News, and newspaper woman of ex
ceptional ability, was killed in the charge.
Her horse took fright and she was thrown
to the ground, striking her head on a
rock. She was killed instantly. The
people rode over the poor woman's FORM
until jude Hilton and other friends
reached the scene and took charge of the
corpse. Others were killed and mangled.
AS there were three or four times as
many people as there were lots, the result
could easily be foretold. There are from
three to six claimants for great many of
the good lots. On every hand can be
heard curses and high worded discussions.
1t will take considerable time to adjust
these differences. An Indian killed
white man over quarrel in one of the
tents where liquor was sold. Other fights
have occurred.
