cause her husband would not comb
| his whiskers may have had strong
! ground for her suit, but the woman

the drilling of the artesian well has
been signed, sealed and delivered.
| The location of the well is at the inter-
section of Dewey street and Denniston
avenue, north side These streets are
eighty feet wide, and at the point
named the well need not interfere with
street traffic in the least. The proper
thing to do to-day is to drop all differ
ences of opinion regarding the location
of the well, and manfully help the
council in its honest endeavor to do
the greatest good to the greatest num-
| Der of citizens. Let us cultivate de-
sire to assist rather than find fault.
and thus preserve mutual esteem and
good will so necessary to success.
