Work VIII be Resumed Tonight.
At l. O'Clock yesterday Contractor
Austin sent for City Engineer Jackson
to come as soon as possible TO the pros
pect well.
Pale and trembling the city engineer
started TO the well to ascertain the tTou-
BILE, and on his arrived found that the
water had not only risen upwards OF
400 feet in the tubing, but that the I'M
cased portion of the well had began
caving and was filling the bottom OF
the well
1t was hoped that the great cavern
would be able 10 carry off the surplus
salt brine, but the volume of liquid
proved too great for even Kelley's CHM
ney, and when the water came in con-
tact with the sratas of keel the same be-
gan to cave and work could not be pros
ecuted further.
A consultation was held. II was GER
tain that the distance of 40 feet would
have to be cased. Subeteranean river
No. 5 was struck at depth of l ,005 fest.
If they reduced the diameter of the we'll
as they had heretofore, il would only
rate they were liable to run out of a
hole before they had gone the distance
desired.
1t was decided that the 120 feet I'M
cased must be trimmed out and let the
casing be forced down TO a distance Of
five feet below subteranean river No. 5.
A telegram was Immediately sent for
120 feet Of casing the same size as that
in the well, and an answer received at
O'Clock that the casing would be shipp-
ed so as to arrive at o'clock this even
ing.
1t was impossible to continue the
work until the arrival Of the casing and
the city engineer shut down all work
until after the arrival of the casing this
afternoon when work will be resumed.
The experiment was tried of trimming
out the hole and forcing the casing
down, and it was found to work all
right but the work could only be kept
up for a few feet without having casing
on hand TO attach TO the top before the
big lake was reached.
This is 253 mishaps that has befa1len
the operations at this mysterious hole
in the ground, and when they found
they would be compelled to shut down
again, they became sick when the rim
ming plan was suggested and tried.
Every time the drill was raised yester
day morning new developments Were
brought to hight and the interest in the
output was intense. They have fig
ured out what caused the steam to- rise
from the decomposition at the bottom
Of the cavern. 1t was found TO be of a
lime substance and was probably a SOL
id cake of lime before the air was adj
ministered, and then began Stacking
process the same as witnessed with a
cake of lime placed in the air.

MORRILL, WORRIED TO DEATH
People Write to Kim on the Prohibition
Middle.

Topeka, Kan, Feb. Ex-Governor
Morrill, is in daily receipt of letters from
prominent prohibItionists over the state
in relation to the vexed question of en-
forcing the liquor law in cities of the
first class. Many of these letters are de-
voted to urging the governor TO stand
firm by the police commission law.
The writers Of others scoId him for not
enforcing the law. Some talk vainly Of
what they would do if they were in the
governors place. One or two have
urged him TO call out the militia, if nee
essary, and close the joints by force, ap-
parentiy unconscious of the fact that
the governor has no power to call OUT
the militia unless solicited by the sheriff
Still others write reasonable lettsrs,
containing moderate and practical adj
vie as to the best. course TO be pursued,
while many urge him TO abolish the pO-
lice commissions in all of the cities and
have done with the embarra ssment and
annoyance which makes the place Of
chief executive almost intolerable.
Among the letters is a letter from Col
oneI Allen Buckner, the well known pro
hibitionfst, late superintendent of the
blind asylum, who writes from his home
at Baldwin City as follows:
nave just read Win PROFOUND m
terest the better of DR.. Dougherty Of
Kansas City. Kan, in which he urges
the propriety of abolishing the metro
politan police commissions in our larger
cities. L am in hearty sympathy with
his position. and, if l were governor,
and had the power under the law,
would abolish every commission at once
That would put the whole question,
where 1t belongs and relieve the COVER
nor of responsibility which belongs to
the Temperance people of these cities.
am well convinced that there must be
powerful local sentiment in order to en-
force prohibition, and If the whole re-
sponsfbility was thrown upon the people
themselves. the process of education
would be more rapid. and Il would be

Baptist Mission Band.

The mission band Of the Baptist church
had their annual meeting and mite box
opening last Saturday in their church ves-
try. The report given both as to members
and to funds raised was very creditable.
The former was 46, and the latter S4S.
About the middle of last November the
president Of the band, Mrs. w. o. Kemp,
gave 16 of the children five cents each to
invest, promising reward to the one who
would succeed in returning the largest
amount.
Much interest was awakened and the
ways devised for adding to the funds, quite
various. The result was that Master Fred
Winnewisser came out ahead with $3.50,
his sister Rena following with S4.36. The
total amount raised through this five cent
plan was about S25.
The officers elected for the coming year
were as follows President, Mrs. w. O.
Kemp; vice president, Mrs. G.. R. B.
Dodge secretary, Bertha Bacon; treas
urer, Mildred Young.

:" Sowing the Wind"

Speaking Of this company which appears
at the opera house here next Tuesday the
St. Adams Messenger of last Monday
says;
''Those who saw Sowing the Wind at
Vaugh's opera house Saturday night wit
messed one of the strongest plays ever pre-
scented in this town, and saw one of the
finest companies of actors that ever trod
the boards here,
1t is. true no one in the cast stood out
eminently as star or gave evidence OF
phenomenal histrionic ability. That does
not always insure good show. The merit
of this company was that every actor
looked and acted intelligently, had polish
and finish that could only come from expe-
rience and true artistic sense, and the com
pany as a whole was so evenly balanced
that the play moved along with the ease
and charm Of a metropolitan production.
The costumes were all handsome and
historically accurate. The business Of the
piece and all the features that 90 to make
up dramatic success were far superior to
the work too often inflicted upon the the
ater-goers of this town."

Union Meeting.

A union meeting of the young peoples
societies Of the Baptist, Methodist and
Congregational churches was held Sunday
evening in the Congregational church to
commemorate Endeavor day, it being the
10th anniversary Of the founding Of the
Christian Endeavor society. The meeting
was presided over Jointly by E. G. Fair
bank and George E. Welch, chairmen re-
spectively of the prayer meeting committees
Of the Baptist and Congregational Chris
tan Endeavor societies. A printed exer-
else, Thy Kingdom Come" was used,
consisting Of music, responsive readings,
partly in verse, bringing out the work OF
the different committees Of the society.
The general trend Of the exercise was in
the line of missions. A short address was
made by c. w. Osgood who spoke of the
wonderful growth of the Christian Endeav-
or movement from one small society of a
few members to an immense army Of over
43, 900 societies at the present time with
over two and one-half millions of members.
Mr.. Osgood also gave some interesting de-
tails of his recent visit to DR.. Conwell's
church in Philadelphia and to the Italian
Mission in New York.
The church was we'll filed and it proved
very enjoyable service. Whenever these
union meetings of the young people are held
they are found to be SO enjoyable that it is
to be regretted the effort is not made
oftener, and it is hoped that not SO long a
time will again elapse before other such
meetings are held.

More Liquor Troubles.

Yesterday in Judge Holmes office in
Keene few more liquor cases were heard
Druggist II. O. Webster Of Alstead
The court found him not guilty of keeping
Intoxicating wine for sale, but fined him
$50 and costs for selling spirituous liquor,
on the ground that he had U. s. license.
A complaint for selling beer was dismissed
TOR lack Of evidence.
Forrest Lowell of Gilsum was fined $40
and costs.
John Cookery of Chesterfield Factory
was fined $40 and costs, aggregating
1928. 80, and $50 and costs for selling spir-
ituous liquors.
a.. T. Cobb of Chesterfield was fined
SO and costs for selling beer, and was
convicted OF selling spirituous liquors !;
the first was paid and an appeal taken
from the latter.
William S. Cook of Westmoreland was
fined $40 and $50 and costs in each case
but the entry was made that sentence was
suspended and the cases not to be brought
forward, except on motion OF the solicitor,
on payment Of the costs. This action was
taken for the reason that the man had no
money with which to pay fines, and that if
confined his family would have to be sup
ported at public expense, coupled with the
fact that he expects to leave the locality
where he now resides.

ST. Charles Young People.

The young people of St. Charles church
gave supper and entertainment at Union
hall last night which was an unqualified
success both socially and financially. Eight
large tables were spread, each presided
over by four accommodating young ladies',
and suppers were served from until $50
o'clock. Over COO must have sat down at
the tables, for the young people Melted
about $500. The supper was first class,
and John Savage and John Coughlin as
head walters and their corps of assistants
saw that everybody was made to feel at
home and the wants of the inner man sup
piled. Misses Minnie Mead and Martha
Bustead attended the ice cream counter.
The literary exercises did not begin
until towards 9 o'clock. The first number
was chorus given by seven boys and
seven girls. Lizzie Pierce gave recita-
ton that pleased everybody, and a piano
and vocal solo were given by j. f. O'Brien
and Margaret Savage respectively. Both
were warmly applauded. John Hughes
gave recitation in manner that would do
credit to an elocutionist of twice his wears.
Misses Emily Gosselin and Annie Nc
Auliff gave piano duet, and Miss Katie
Connors of Brattleboro vocal solo. Miss
Connors has well trained but not strono
voice. The vocal duet by the two young
sons of J.F. Roache was one of the hits
of the evening. \ violin trio by John
Howard, Willie Keefe, and Tommie Dono-
van, and vocal trio by Margaret Savage,
Margaret Hughes, and Katie Tulley were
next on the program. The vocal solo in
French given by Miss Emily Gosselin wa.
really fine number, and much enioyed
though little understood. The male quar-
tet composed of n. ID. Clarke, F. V
Thompson, George Hackett and Clarenc,
Beckwith was warmly applauded and re
sponded to two encores. A vocal solo b,
f. V. Thompson completed the program
of the evening.
The young people of st. Charles are I,
be congratulated on the character an,
outcome of their entertainment. 1t wa
one of the best given this winter.
