Cassville

The newest thing in CassFile is the ar
tesian Wet it caught the disease from some
of the free silver orators and is a confirmed
spouter. When Christopher Columbus Gov.
Dewey aud Herman Grimm located Cass-
vile they placed it directly on top of the
purest vein of water in the world separated
only by eleven hundred feet of different
varieties Of mud sand gravel granite, st.
Peters potsdam and other dam sandstone.
The river was very low and the city faith
ers saw indications of another dry season.
so they hired Barney Oleson to bore a hole
through the aforesaid above mentioned
strata. There are some champion bores in
Cassvi1Ie but Barney beat the field. First
we expected to either strike China or
flow OF the mixture of rotten eggs. burnt
boot heels and decayed fish that artesian
wells usually produce but after keeping
cases on Barney couple OF weeks the board
thought that the water would taste pretty
strong of beer, and there was considerable
talk of starting a Kelley Institute. Barney
said nothing but punched away through 500
feet of sand. gravel, lime stone and red
paint when he reached water that tried to
get out over the top of the pipes About
that time he said he lost his drill. That was
a missprint; he knew exactly where it was
but ii took him several weeks to get his
hands on it, not that ii did any lodging or
counter marching but because it had it's
nose in the incest bit Of water on earth and
didn't want to leave. All things have an
end however and Barney got saving hold
on the end, of that drill and jerked il thence.
From that on, every day that the drill didn't
get stuck on that pure water the flow be-
came stronger until at 100 feet 8 inches the
council decided that as SO few people drink
water anyway, we had enough. jug full
of the water was sent to Madison for. analy
sis. II was pronounced very fine and as
pure as Royal Baking Powder" In 10000
parts there.is only one-third of one part of
chlorine and parties who have. not tasted
water for years have tried glass of 1t and
liveds Now we have about BOG, 900 gallons of
pure water and that is all; il runs cheer
fully down through a waste pipe into the
river. We are cool deliberate lot of peo-
ple we don't like to rush things. There is
no sense in putting in mains and using that
water; We can all drink beer and bacteria.
We have lots of wells teemng with the lat
ter and lots of places where the former is
on tap. OF course in case of fire il would be
very nice to have the water but who says
we have got to have fire. The town never
