Opals in Wells.

There is something mysteriously fas-
chatting about the artesian we'll subject
into which almost every intelligent Flori-
dian delves. Almost everybody knows
that various kinds of fossils have been
brought out of the wells, but nobody
ever before heard of opals being one of
their products. Such, however, is the
fact. John Linn, the young gentleman
who went off to help Cuba, has two
small opals in his scientific collection
which came from the new Springfield
well just being completed by Mr.. Part
ridge. Mr. Partridge said yesterday
that he did not know whether they were
opals or not but that he did know John
Linn said they were. The opal is roth
ing more than volcanic glass, hence the
finding Of opals hundreds of feet below
the surface is not more startling than the
finding of sharks teeth, sea sand and sea

He was the owner Of the celebrated

ORDERED AN INQUEST.
Authorities at Sheboygan Greatly
Exercised Over Contagious
Disease Case.

Sheboygan, Wis, Oct. 12.-LSpecial.l
The death of Mrs. Fred Harmon on
Saturday afternoon is the cause of an ex-
tensive and complete investigation by the
authorities. A week ago today the 1O-year-
old daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Harmon
died of diphtheria of the most malignant
kind. The parents are Christian Sclen-
lists and as far as is known the child
did not receive the slightest bit of medl-
cal aid. The only treatment it got. was
that pecuiar to the Christian Science
belief. No precautions were taken to
prevent the spread of the disease; no no.
LITIGATION was sent the local board of
health-in fact every law of the state
relative to SUCH cases was violated. Their
2-year-old baby boy was sick also and
they became alarmed They sent for DR..
Block, the health officer. He immedi-
ately told them that there was no hope
for the child.
In the evening DR.. Block called again
and found the house filled with Christian
Scientists. The doctor Immediately
rushed for Chief of Police Sheck, in
tending to have all in the house arrested.
They had evidently OWNED his purpose,
for when he and the chief arrived, all
had gone except five women, and the
mother of the little children. For this
reason DR.. Block did not quarantine the
house as he first intended, but took what
precautions he could to dlSlnfect the
women. Among those in the house was
Mail Carrier Stein, who has been sus-
pended because he went about his du-
ties the next day, thus endangering the
public health. The baby boy died last
Tuesday morning. The fact that fifteen or
more people were in the house, and then
scattered about the city, spreading the
disease in all directions, created no end
Of CONSERVATION and Indignation.
On Saturday afternoon the mother of
the children died of diphtheria. She and
her children received no medical aid and
not one of the state laws in regard to
contagious diseases was complied with
Coroner Goodell and DR.. Block regard
the case as so fragrant that the former
official has ordered an inquest, and to-
day a jury visited Wildwood cemetery
and gazed upon the body of Mrs. Har-
mon through the glass doors of the re
ceiving vault, in order that they might
comply with the law, and at the same
time not be means of spreading the
disease.
If there is the slightest way in which
the law can be made to grasp the men
and women who are implicated in the
case, they will be brought to justice.

A QUESTION OF LEGALITY.
The incorporation of the Village of Par
deeviI1e in Controversy.

Portage, Wis, Oct. 14.-[Special- l.
The Pardeevi1le- Wyocena case regarding
the legality of the incorporation of the
village of Pardeeyille, was argued in the
Supreme court at Madison yesterday by
w. c. Williams of Milwaukee for the
village and w. S. Stroud of this city
for the town of Wyocena. A decision is
expected i'm about four weeks. Recent de-
cisions in the Supreme court render it
almost certain that the town Will be sue
cessful and the proceedings under which
the village claims to have separate le-
gal existence will be set aside.
County Clerk Pritchard has notified
the village authorities that he will fur
nish NO official ballots for the village, but
that all electors residing therein viii cast
their votes at the regular polling places
in the town Of Wyocena. Mr.. Pritchard
bases his action upon recent decisions by
the Supreme court in similar cases. Mr..
Pritchard has given an early notification
of his intention not to furnish separate
ballots, thus allowing the village ample
time for recourse to any legal proceed
ings that they may desire to institute.
There seems to be some question as to
the legality of the incorporation of the
villages of Rio and Poynette Is separate
municipalities, but ballots will be fur
nished as heretofore.

COLLEGE CONTESTS ENDED.
Lawrence Students VIII Not Have
Anything More to Do with
RipOn Men.

Appleton, Wis, Oct. 15.-lSpecial.]- l.
The announcement by President Plantz
of Lawrence university, that no further
football games between the Lawrence
and Ripon teams will be permitted I'M
til the Ripon authorities shall remove
from their team the players guilty of the
the game Of last Saturday, caused little
surprise here. 1t has long been known
that majority of the faculty and c
large element among the students have
long been in favor of disseminating en-
tirely all contests of any kind Whatso-
ever between RiDon and Lawrence, be-
cause of the persistently unfair tactics
of Ripon, the most recent and glaring
instances of which are the oratorlcal con-
test middle precipitated by Rlpon last
year and the slugging of Lawrence play
ers in last Saturdays football game,
when Dafter had his nose broken and his
thumb badly bitten. Jolliffe was COM
pletely disabled by kick, and every
member of the Lawrence team received
black eye or some other mark OF pain
full injury The prohibition Of further
games is not a faculty action, but per-
sonal on the part of President PlantZ.
It is cordially endorsed. however, by
nearly every student in the school, and is
regarded by many as = step which will
result in eventually breaking off all rela-
lions Of whatsoever kind between the
two schools President Plantz is under
between the schools by recent events
is such as to render it advisable that
intercollegiate contests of all kinds be
discontinued for a time at least. and
this view is very prevalent throughout
the city as we'll as in college circles.

DEER SLAUGHTER BEGINS.
Hunters FIocking to the Woods Because
of the Defunct Game Law.

Ashland, Wis. Oct. 15.-[Special.1-
The decision of the state Supreme court
declaring the state game law illegal has
also involved the deer hunting season.
Under the old law of '93, which it is
claimed is in force, now that the law
passed by the last Legislature is void,
the deer season is from October | to Oc
tober 80. instead of November l to No
vember 20. This has caused great COM
motion among deer hunters, who claim
that they have been deprived of half the
season. Over fifty hunters left town
this morning to begin the annual slaugh-
ter of deer and make up for lost time as
far as possible. The October season is
not generally considered as good as No
vember, when the first snow falls and the
fatalities are frequent. Over twenty
men were accidentally shot during the
deer season last year.
