Bryan Got His Answer.

A good story IS going round
among the travelling men out west,
says the Nebraska State Journal.
While recently on trip alone the
B. & NJ. line in Nebraska Mr..
Bryan was DESTROYS of making a
speech at certain city at which
the train made the usual stop of a
few minutes. According to the
story Mr.. Bryan telegraphed to
the officials asking if the train
could not be held at the station in
question for IS minutes. 1t an.
pears that there several extra
freights on the same division at
the time, and to delay the passen.
ger would have necessitated de.
lay of the freights. Al all events
Mr.. Bryan was not particularly
elated with the answer, as was
evidenced by the absence of both
the historic smile and its historic
onward march. The officials had
wired: 1.-The B. & NJ. is not il,
politics; too busy hauling 81
wheat.

Trouble in the Camp.

Everything is not running as
smoothly in the fusion camp as
ambitious party leaders have
hoped. The murmur Of discon-
tent that has from time to time
broken out in the ranks is not
always silenced by some happy
compromise. The populists who
helped the democrats to win are
not quite sure that they get fair
share of the "fat takes of Office
holding. Every new appointment
is the source of new conflict that
endangers party harmony and
which may cause rupture Of the
tie that binds the popocratic union.
The latest apple of discord is the
appointment of land selector and

The following notice clipped
from the Morning Democrat Of
Albuquerque, New Mexico, will
be Of interest to many friends who

the other and were pronounced

grace. After receiving the con
CALCULATIONS and hearty well-wishes
of all present the company returned

an excellent supper prepared by
Mrs. West tor the occasion.

CHAPTER II.

Wei. well, the world must turn upon its
axis,
And live and die, make love and pay our
taxes.
And as the veering wind shifts, shift our
sails.
The scene changes. Come dear
reader, to another lovely spot and
listen TO the story-of another spring
and hear a bit OF pleasant history.
Seventy years ago the site of the
present city Of Lancaster was the
same beautiful region of hill and dale
that it is today. But instead OF bear
ing the activity and hustle Of modern
civilization its gentle slopes were Gov
cred with low brush, matted grass,
tangled vines and groves of majestic
forest trees. Here the prairie chicken
nested undisturbed, the gray squirrel
chartered in glee from the security Of
his well-stored tx me. and the red
deer quenched her thirst from the
pure waters OF crystal spring at the
foot OF a beautifully rounded knoll
while her prettily spotted fawa slept
contentedly in the copse near by.
The purity and copious flow Of .his
spring. before unknown to man ex-
cept to the dusky Indian whose
swarthy face had been many times re-
tiected in its sparkling depths. were
the cause Of change in the history
Of itself and surroundings and Of the
beginning Of new era.
Good water is prime necessity for
all classes and conditions of men and
it was without doubt this bountiful
spring that led Nahem Dudley. Tom
Segar and Ben Stout in 1928 to erect

burden his soul and repose close by
the heart of Nature.
Who can write the history of such a
spring! Life is so short and the
earth is so old, The writer first saw
the spring in the winter of 1861. 1t
was then boiling up in the center Of a
milldam and was taken account of by
the little company of gentlemen skat-
ers only as good place to keep out
Of; for, although the ice was three
feet thick in other places. the warm
water from the spring kept open a
large hole that was dangerous to
those who moved about it. The gem
tlemen who were there that day, and
most of them on skates. were Nelson
Dewey, j. Allen Barber. j. c.. Cover,
n. c. Goldsmith, Eugene and Jehiel
Hyde and few others. Every one Of
the skaters, excepting Mr. Jehiel
Hyde and the little boy in dresses
who sat and watched them, have gone
to their long rest after living lives Of
usefulness. The milldam with its
large body Of water is also long since
gone-but the spring flows on and
on. Who can write its history

SPRING
Photo By Watton

OF the committee were Il. Meyer, Jr. +,
c. H. Baxter. Ed. Pollock and Judge
Clementson
This committee made considerable
investigation and reported to a largely
attended citizens meeting held Sept.
3, 1894. They reported that the 'big
spring" at the factory had flow of
about one hundred gallons per minute
enough for the city's present needs
and that a complete system that
would furnish fire protection and wa
ter to nineteen twentieths Of Lancas-
ter could be put in for $4,000.
The meeting seemed enthusiastic
for waterworks and the committee was
retained to make further investiga-
ton into plans and specifications used
by other cities.
They continued their Investigations
chiefly through the chairman, Col.
Clark, and in March were ready to
report again. Accordingly meeting
for that purpose was called to assem-
bic Immediately at the close Of a city
caucus ia the city hall in the evening
of March Is, 1895. Col Clark read
an exhaustive report giving plans and
specifications aud estimating that a
plant complete with four miles Of
mains and the big spring at the fac
tory for supply would cost about
$4,000 But he also reported that
an analysis of the water Of this spring
made by Professor Daniels, of the
state university, showed that it con
tanned chlorine, ammonia, and nj
trates largely in excess Of what
should be found and that it is not fit
for domestic use. Analysis by the
same chemist, OF water from several
wells, including the one al the depot.
showed them all TO be contaminated
and not satisfactory as a municipal
supply.
Mr. ClarI's report suggested that a
deep well reaching into the lower
sand stone which he thought would
be found about 200 to $50 feet below
the surface. would yield pure water
and would be d satisfactory supply.
Mr.. d. Schreiner moved that the
report be referred to the incoming
council. ". ~ Stone urged that it
was unwise to refer the report to the
council and incur additional expense
unless the people were il favor Of
waterworks and lii order 10 bring
the matter to a vote moved that the
report be indefinitely postponed.
Mr. Stones motion, alter some dis
cussion, was lost and Mr.. Schrcners
prevailed, after Icing amended 50 as
to authorize tho council to make
further investigation looking to a
pure water supply
This meeting gave the first decided
evidence Of antipathy TO wa'erworks
and may be considered as marking

in strong alum water to make the m
pucker well. Then there is no trou-
ble." From that time on ''puckered'
cisterns became numerous.
About 1855 or lo56 j. G. Clark and
man who had been in his employ as
surveyor. Fred s. Goodrich, proposed
bringing the water from the big
spring" into the court yard square by
means of q hydralic ram but for lack
Of financial encouragement the scheme
was dropped About the same time
or a little earlier there was talk Of
piping TO town tn water from large
spring on the eastern edge of what is
now Delos Adams farm north of the
city, but nothing ever came of the
talk. The spring has long since been
dry
There was more or less talk OF wa
terworks after that from year to year
but it was not until after the big fire
of 1887 that the people Of the city
really awoke to the necessity of fire
protection and the desirability Of a
good water supply for all purposes.
Several schemes were proposed,
meetings held and committees APP
pointed. The main thought for a
time was fire protection and consider
able effort was expended in strength
ening the fire department and build
ing cisterns for use in case of fire.
Jos. Nathan, Sr, and j. b. Calls were
active in the waterworks agitation.
In the fall of 1894 thirteen families
in the south part Of the city formed a
company and put in a private system
Of waterworks. They sank a wen and
by means Of windmill pumped water
into a high tank from which it was
piped to the various residences. The
members OF this company were VIM.

The plan was a success and ten Of the
parties are still using the water II
this plant.
IN the early part Of 1891 Col J. 6.
CLARK and others began to agitate
waterworks and Mr. Clark had volum-
inous correspondence on the subject.
Finally on Monday evening. Aug. 6,
'9i. the city fire department voted to
call meeting Of the citizens Of the
city to consider the ACCESSIBILITY Of put
ting in system Of waterworks The
meeting was called and held on the
9Th. Mayor Decker was made chair
nan Of the meeting and G. L. Harper.
secretary Judge Clementson, Col.
Clark, JOS. Nathan, Phin Walker and
Others favored the project. Clark
was made chairman Of a committee
to investigate plans and probable cost
