The worst thing about hell will prob
ably be It's political tinge-New York
Press. That's comforting! A good many

climate and the society.
Fridays New York Press said: "One
hundred hangers-on about the Bowery

overland into staid old Cooperstown
will be a novel one, to say the least.

A COLD WELL.
Between Great Bend and Kirkwood
| there is a we'll locally known as "the
well of frozen air." In digging the
well for water a strata of frozen clay
was encountered at a depth of 55 feet
| After passing through five feet of this,
| numerous cavities were encountered
| through which the cold air came in
/ gusts. The escape of the air from the
| we'll could be heard roaring for two
| hundred yards. The air which comes
from the subterranean depths is sc
| frigid that it is not possible for one
| to hold his hand over the opening for
| more than two minutes without having
| it frozen. A bucket of water set over
| the opening will freeze through within
few hours. The work on the we'll was
abandoned as soon as the cavities OF
frozen air were tapped.
