Flowing Wells.

There are a dozen or more splendid
flowing wells in Prairie du Chen.
Some of these wells are ten inches in
diameter and over 1000 feet in depth.
The water of the smaller wells is pure
and pleasant to drink and can be
used for culinary purposes. One or
two of the deep wells are impregnat-
ed with salt, iron and sulphur. and
are beneficial to persons suffering
from torpid liver or kidney trouble.
One well that began flowing over 20
years ago. furnishes the city with wa
ter for the Fire Hydrants, Drinking
Fountains, etc.
Horses. cattle and many people be,
come so fond of this deep flowing
well water that they will drink no

Singing Schools.

In earlier DAYS it used to be con-
sidered an essential part of person.
education to be able to read music and
sing by note. In later years. how
ever, too many singers have been cos
tent to depend upon an organ or piano
to lead them, and are mere imitators
without the power to interpret and
render music except as some player
gives it to them. AS a result vocal
music. especially chorus singing and
congregation singing in churches is
not so good as it was forty ears ago.
At least two neighborhoods near
Lancaster have determined to inn
prove in music aud are maintaining
fiourishing singing schools. The
two communities are the Hodges school
district and the Aupperle district,
both in south Lancaster. Most of the
young folks and many Of The older

As spring approaches the farmers
have more or less fencing to do. You
should see Marion Prideaux and pur-
chase one of the Kitselman's fencing
machines which he is agent for and
with which you can weave your own
fences that wind has no effect upon
and are durable as well as ornament
al and will turn all kinds of stock.
One of these machines is a good in
vestment for the farmer for it will
save him dollars. The Duplex ma
chine fills long felt want. and any
one purchasing one of these machines
will say the same. A good fence is
the essential part Of a good farm and
the Duplex will make it much cheaper
than any other machine before the
public.
We used to think that rails were best
| Before the kitselman fence nlI had a test.
But now we know without doubt
That the kitSelman fence is wonderfully
stout.
! The storm may rage. the wind may blow,
| But this Is a fact we ali well know.
/ No difference how hard 1t is pressed
| The Kitselman fence will stand the test.
