The Southern Pacific expects In a
short time 70 begin drilling a large and
deep well at Shakespeare. after long
pumping on the Huling well they have
become satisfied regarding It's capacity
and also are satisfied that its capacity
Is limited by its size. It is thought
that a larger bore will give a larger
reservoir and a larger water supply.
In case the new well is successful the
company will again furnish the town
with water. At the Huiing we'll the
pump is run at the rate OF 1900 gallons
an hour and can be run right along. If
II is IA up to 1900 gallons an hour it
will after a while pump the water
down to the level Of the pump and the
well will not supply enough water for
the pump. II the pump is stopped for
two minutes the well will III up again,
showing that the water supply is
strong but the reservoir in the we'll is
limited. One peculiar thing about
this well is that it will furnish more
water at night than in the daytime,
although II has not been watched long
enough to tell what effect the full
moon has on the water supply. In the
old well it is a peculiar fact that when
1t was furnishing about eight thousand
gallons a day at the new Of the moon
il would furnish about nine Thousand
gallons a day at the full moon. Why
this should be so, and why the moon
should be able to have any effect on
the waters under the earth, are ques-
lions that have not been solved In this
section. They are facts, however,
and were noticed monthly for several
years by Peter JOchem, the pumpeI
who had charge of the well.

THINGS DRAMATIC.

Bunco, the word applied to all the diff ferent forms of swindling indulged in by class of people who exist on the credll- lous, forms the main motive for the fun which sparkles and scintillates, through profusion of songs, dances pretty wo- men, handsome costumes and the ever changing brightness and color incident to these ingredients in farce comedy or comedy opera, i'll which class "A Green Goods Man. which appears at the opera house tonight, belongs. "A Green Goods Man" is farce, pure and simple, and makes no pretentions to possess any lit- erary ability, but as fun maker and the certainty of furnishing an evenings enjoyment it has no equal The plot, what there is of 1t, deals with the ad- ventures of the yankee farmer, who is lured by the seductive wording of the green goods circular, which he receives at his home in JayVille, N. Y., to make d visit to the metropolis in search of a for tune which he expects to receive in coun- terfeit money for his savings of years. His adventures in the hands of these SharperS and the clever methods by which these different forms of swindling are done form series of laugha ble in- cidents. Then. as time hangs heavily on his hands, his search for amusement in a big city brings him in contact with all classes of people, seen only in large cities and on the Bowery, street that is famous and without seeing which a visit to the city would not be complete. His experiences are aptly summed up in his reply to his friends on his return to Jayville. when an answer to question, if he was acquainted in New York and if he had enjoyed himself he made this remark: Well, l don't know whether l am acquainted or not. I was buncoed twice and arrested once. so I suppose I must have had a good time." The lead ing character of the down east yankee will be portrayed by MT. John T.
