The ''deep welP' is down 24O TT. at
which point salt water was struck.
The crew laid off and are now waiting
further orders. There is some talk of
going below the salt veins, if this is
done it will require an additional APP
preparation. The question Will be
settled in Il few days. 1t is to be
hoped that they will go ahead, as the
reports relating to the lower regions
differ very much and this seems to fur
nish IL good opportunity to accumulate
reliable data.
LATER.-Ml. Archer, superinten-
dent Of bridges, has arrived and is
looking after the work on the deep
well. Work has been resumed and he
says hs intends to go down the 400 it.
that they started for, and the further
work will be determined by what they
find.

A proposition WAS recently made
that the voters of this city should, at
the spring election, elect mayor and
city council pledged in advance to
make 10 levy to collect money for
paying interest on the city bonds. The
absurdlty of this lies in the fact that
the city officers are required to take
the oath of Office and the pledge spok-
en- of would be in direct antagonism
to that oath. 1t is, without doubt,
true that the levy necessary to enable
the city to pay its interest is Oppres-
sive and is causing many owners of
property to refuse to pay their taxes,
and it is equally true that something
ought and will soon have to be done to
relieve us, at least in part, of this bur-
den, but we do not believe that the
suggestion made is the correct one.
We have interviewed qnite ID number
OF the leading Taxpayers of the city
Oh this subject, and the weight of
opinion seems to be to elect set of
conservative men who will endeavor
in a business-like way to secure some
concession from the bond-bolGers.
Fair play would seem to suggest that
we should at least lay the matter be-
fore the holders of our securities and
see if an equitable compromise can not
be effected before even talking repudia-
ton, and up to the present time this
has not been done.

There was an old fashioned German
wedding in the WindhOrst settlement
last Wednesday, when Samuel Cuen
and Amelia Gring were united in mar.
rIage at the residence of the bride
parents, Mr.. and Mrs. Karl Gring.
Quite Il number of our city people
went out and although same of them
were too late for the ceremony, they
were in time for dinner and did ample
justice to their regulations as good
table-men. A large company of the
friends of the contracting parties had
assembled and the nerrymaklng was
kept up all day and pretty much all
night. 1t is reported that some of the
