Engineer William Miller Dismisscd-The
Unfortunate Mans Hard Luck.
William Miller, engineer of the second
section OF Santa Fe freight train No. 800,
which collided with the rear end of the
first section of the train in the west end
of the Holiday yards last week, has been
discharged from the service of the COM
pany, as it was held that the collision
was due to negligence on his part in fol-
lowing too closely on the first section of
the train. In the collision fireman and
two brakemen were slightly injured
Engineer Miller was released about
one year ago for running through sta
ton on the Southern Kansas division and
colliding with the rear end of another
train. A binding snow storm was rag
ing at the time, which was responsible
for the accident, and after a sixty days
lay off Miller was reinstated.

WICHITA'S HIGH HOPES.
Believes That Divorce of the Frisco
From the Santa Fe

Personals and miscellaneous Items.
A division freight Office has been es
tablished at Wichita Tor the St. Louis 6
San Francisco railway, and C. r
Gray, who was formerly stationed al
that point before the consolidation
of the Frisco with the Santa Fe
has been appointed division freight
agent. A travelling auditor in the per.
son of ]. ]. Frank has been appointed
and will also make his headquarters il
Wichita. These appointments take effe C.

The establishment of the division
freight Office at Wichita is considered as
a reliable Indication that the Frisco is &c
be divorced and operated separately from
the Santa Fe. In this event Wichita will
be the headquarters of the entire western
business
Santa Fee Attorney W. Littlefield of this
is quoted in the Wichita Eaglein regard
to the matter as follows:
"The appointment of Mr.. Gray means
that the Frisco will be operated as an
independent road. It is in the hands OF
a receiver and the Ssnta Fe is not, and
for that reason it will be operated as a
separate property. 1t is my opinion
that the order will hold good until the
road has been sold under tho mortgage
foreclosure and it is my private opinion
that it will be an independent road after

ARTESIAN WELLS.

Conceive OF u mill pond lmbeded
in the earth, shut in for the most part
above and below and almost on all
sides, by rock or kind of clay
through which water will not penetrate
and you have fair idea Of most of
the sources of water supply for arte
sian wells. Such an under ground
lake or pond is, of course higher than
the level at which water spouts out.
From such reservoirs the water is
drawn or carried away by water
carrying beds underground, some.
what like mill pond is drained by
the millrace. Sometimes these rese-
voirs arc open lakes on the tops of
mountains, such as the famous Salt
Lick pond on mountain i'll south
west Virginia.
These reservoirs, or basins as they
arc called, are supposed to have
been formed during what is
known as the secondary and tertiary
geological period, and their boundary
or rim caused by the unheaval Of
subjaccnt strata. The ground above
them frequently is composed of a
porous stratum such us sand, sand
stone, chalk, or other chalky sub
stance, through which the rain filters
down to the underground pool.
Artesian wells is the name given
to small holes bored into the ground
to the water. carrying beds. This
kind of well boaring was first tried
in French province called Artois.
and this gives the name to them
Artesian. IN that province is we'll
from which continuous stream of
water has been flowing for more than
Il century, reaching height of II
feet above the ground.
Some OF the larger Artesian wells
in this country are two at Chicago,
one 100 feet and the other 900 feet
with diameter Of inches, which
supply the city with 100000 gal
Ions of water day: one at Louisville
Ky, with Z inch bore and debth
of 2,OS6 feet, supplying about 5000
600 gallons daily. There is one at
Charleston, 5. g.. or was before the
