WHAT'S UNDER Usq

Every once in while some one bobs
up with the suggestion that we bore a
hole into the far depths Of the ground
in order to ascertain what sort Of a
formation is under us. The Rock
Island tried the experiment at Smith
Centre, and the following from the
Journal shows the result:
The Rock Island well drilling appa-
ratus which has been operated here
since early in August, was ordered out
last Tuesday, for shipment to Topeka.
During the past two months the ma
chlnery has been operated day and
night. Two weeks ago at depth I'M
known, but supposed to be about 800
feet, a strong flow Of salt water vas
struck. The iron casing was pulled
up and the hole enlarged so the salt
water could be shut out. Drilling was
then resumed until the unexpected
order of Tuesday morning WAS recelv.
ed The iron tubing has now all been
removed, and the hole will have to be
cleaned out before work can be COM
menced on it again. One thing sure,
we now know that under the several
hundred feet Of shaie underlying this
whole country is salt water, but fur.
Their than that any man outside Of the
drilling crew has no idea. Our re-.
porter asked one of the operators if
the hole would not cave in and spoil
when the casing WAS removed, and
was informed that it was thoroughly
sailed and could not spoil. With the
amount Of money already invested Ill
the well, the company certainly haa
no intention Of stopping theirlnvestl-
cations. 1t hascost the company
no less than So per foot so far, and
they can hardly afford to let go now
We have no idea that a million dol
lars would be any indncement to Be-
care a reply from one of the bosses,
that would afford reason for a guess
as to whether the 9-inch hole is down
500 or 1000 feet, or proposition of
that kind would have been submitted.

HE COMMITTED SUICIDE!
The Cause and Its Lesson

Why did he commit suicide2 Oh for
the same reason that thousands of others are
on the verge of the same sin, or in imme-
date danger of insanity, paralysis, idiocy,
or some other equally unfortunate result of
any nervous affection. He knew he was
afflicted with nervous disorder but was
careless, apparently Indifferent to the out
come; or he may have lessened his chances
for recovery by treating with physicians
who had little or no knowledge Of such af-
fections, or by deluging himself with worth
less so-called remedies. His case was sad
one, but no worse than that of any other
nervous sufferer, who has nervous or sick
headache, biliousness, dizziness, irritability,
melancholy, failing memory, hot flashes,
fainting, sleeplessnesS, nervous dyspepsia,
sexual debility, epilepsy, etc. The same or
similar consequences are likely to result to
any one who has any Of these advance
symptoms Of an awful end, Do not hesitate
in getting rid Of them by intelligent treat1
ment. DR.. Franklin Miles, the celebrated
specialist, has studied nervous diseases over
20 years, and has discovered the only re-
liable remedy for them. Thousands of vol
untary testimonials prove the virtues Of Dr..
Miles Restorative Nervine.
Alonzo Barker, Of Clinton, N. Y, writes: "T

Twas on the verge Of insanity. My hands trem.

ATTEMPTED BURGLARY.

Last Wednesday morning between
the hours of one and two o'clock, some
one bored hole through DR., Wallace's
cellar door, and unfastening the lock
opened the door, making noise enough
to awaken the doctor who supposing
his horses were kicking, opened the
back door, soaring the thief away. The
attempted burglary was not discovered
until the next morning. Now comes a
tale of one of those strange mysterious
happenings that some people claim can
occur while the great majority Of man
kind scott and jeer at them. Mr.. Chan
Fleming whose word is as good as that
of any living man, and who swears
that his tale is absolutely true, tells
the following: On Wednesday night
he went to bed at the usual hour but
for some reason was unable TO yet 10
sleep until after twelve o'clock, and
when he did, had dream, in which he
saw two youths come into town from
the southeast, and coming up to the
Bissell House, they turned south and
proceeded to DIR. Wallace's residence,
AHd after looking the ground over, they
went to the eellut doQr, and one Of them
taking bit from his pocket, to which
was attched a short piece of iron, bored
hole through the cellar door, and
opening the door went int the cellar
The noise awoke the doctor who get
ting ont OF bed and coming to the door,
scared the thief and his companion
away. The boys, for such Mr., Flem-
ing describes them, left the house went
r,4h in front of the school house till
thew reached a hou.-e in the north part
Of town, JisaRpo9ring from Mr.. Elem
ings view. Mr., Elemiug awakened,
told his wife Of his dream, and she al,
vised him to so to sleep, which he did,
and had the same dream again. In the
morning he told DR.. Wallace of his
visions, and was surprised to find his
dream true. Nj. Fleming gives his
word of honor that he knew nothing OF
the burglary until after the dream as
told above. He can give the names OF
the thieves, and tells of other strange
things connected with the affair. Truly
this story is queer one, but it Is I'M;
doubtedly true

The commissioners have reduced
the assessment Of our county bal.. KS
to twenty-five per cent. of their CAPT
tai and surplus, thus putting these
institutions upon about the same
basis as is other property. There is
no reason why man with $1,000 in
bank should psy any greater rate
OF taxes than does the man with ST.
900 in land; equal rights to all. The
whole plan of taxation IS wrong, and
III the trustees when they meet will
agree to assess all property at its
true cash value, as contemplated by
law, every man will be compelled to
bear his just share of public burdens.
