Water SuDnIy Unfit for Use.

Prof. Floyd Davis. the expert employed
to test the Oshkosh city water, declares
the samples obtained from the Sixth ward
school to be unfit for use, especially for
children, whose systems are more prone to
infection than those of adults. The pro-
fessor found chlorine in the water, and de-
clared that it also contained sewage. The
city will use these discoveries to compel
the company to provide a better water
supply, under penalty of .forfeiting its

Frozen In the Ice.

The body Of an unknown man was pull
ed out of Rock river, where the railway
crosses the stream a mile east of Edger-
ton. The body was found lodged against
one of the abutments Of the bridge, par
TALLY frozen in the Ice. Death must have

from the advanced stage of decomposition.
Apparently he was man of stocky build,
about 35 years of age. He was dressed in
army shoes and had on vest with United
States army buttons. The pockets of the
coat were filed with stones, indicating
either suicide or foul play. He was identi-
fed as Gustave WaIlin of Beloit.

The fall season has been an un-
usually long and open one this
year in this section, giving the
mines ample time to prepare for
the snowy season, and now no mat
ter how deep the snow comes the
mines are in shape TO maintain
their usual output without hinder
ence or serious inconvience, and
more properties will maintain a
production throughout the winter
season this winter than ever be-
fore. Water for milling purposes
is about the only question with
which they have to grapple, and
this only in portions of the county.
The discovery that cyanide of
potash is a solvent of gold made it
possible to work at a profit thou
sands of low grade gold mines that
were worthless before that discov-
cry was made. 1t also made ii
profitable to work over the many
old dumps and the waste from
stamp mills. In this way it has
contributed wonderfully toincrease
the annual gold product of the
world. The increase in money
supply because of the increased
product has already arrested the
fall in the worlds price level, and
prices now have an upward tend

A Boulder Mine.

In the Denver News this morning ap-
pears a story of Boulder mine that is
calculated to excite interest were it not
for the fact that the mine does not ap-
pear in any authentic list of Boulder
properties that ever produced unything
like the sum named. The story tells
how one F. w. Halves of Boston pur
chased stock in the Legal Tender com
pany, but not hearing anything of it he
came out to investigate. According tc
the story he found that the mine, which
was situated at Ward, had been worked
out, although it had produced two Oh
three hundred thousand dollars. Mr.
Hawes then reopened the mlne ane
reported strike of great magnitude anc
presented specimens in support of hi!
claims. The News states that ii read!

Washington, Feb. Io-The Supporters
of the army reorganization bill are very
reticent. A number of the house and

Senator Hawiey declared he had moth

Alger's manifesto protesting against
the passage OF the Cockrell substitute
has not helped the administrators
cause. The minority is inclined to re.
sent his unwarranted interference. 1t is
probable that Senator Cockrell in open
session will take occasion to administer
a reprimand to the over Jealous secre
tary.
1t is more than ever apparent that the
Republicans must compromise or call
an extra session. The Democrats de-
clare that the Cockrell bill is their ulti.
