WILL TAKE CITY WATER.
The Great Northern Will Abandon
Thier So 900 Well.

Supt. Tyler, of the Great Northern
was in town Thursday night confer
ring with the council 10 regard to the
city furnishing water tor the company
at this point. Considerable discussion
was had and the conference broke up
with proposition from the council to
furnish the water for $40 per month.
This figure was agreeable to Mr.,
Tyler and it is probable thata con-
tract on these terms will be signed in
the near future.
The efforts of the railroad to get a
water supply of their own by digging
a we'll has cost them about $1,000,
with no results.
At $40 per month, the council es-
innate gain of about 800 per cent
over cost of gasoline and oil.

DonnellY BOOmlet.

The outlook at present is that
Donnelly bids fair to become good
business center. F. j. Mclaughlin
has sold his residence to a. NJ Rem
chin, of Steele county, who is having
it remodelled into store building.
Here be will put in a stock of general
merchandise and expects to do good
business. Mr.. Mclaughlin has al
most completed a new residence.
T. J. Moore is putting up good
two story building to accommodate
the machinery business is establish
ing there. He will have the building
ready for occupancy in about week.
There is no reason why Donnelly
should not be good business center.
and the business men there seem to
be uniting to make it one.

Harvest At Hand.

As a general rule, crops are IN good
condition throughout the county,
Some cutting has already been done,
and by Monday the harvest will be
in full blast, Considerable barley
has already been cut. 1t presents a
good appearance and gives promise
of good yield.
Oats have done we'll except in occa-
sional small patches. The harvest
ing of oats began on Tuesday in some
fields and has been vigorously pushed
since.
Wheat was cut on the river bottom
on Wednesday, but in other fields is
yet quite green. The yield of wheat
will be good, for the heads are long,
but it is probable that the yield was
appreciably lessened by the hot days
of the first part of the week
Corn is doing we'll and is already
tassling out.

Ha. DR.. Peters Found ophirs

DIR. Carl Peters IN a letter dated Umtali,
October 10, announces that during the
rainy season. when practically no pros
pecting work was possible, he intended
to come to England. He adds: II expect
to arrive about the middle OF December.

Of this statement, Reuters Agency Is In

Iished IN Amsterdam in 1705. with French
text. the author Of which is unknown. In
this atlas it was stated that near this
place (south of the Zambesi and near the
River Manzoro. now Mazoe) is the great
mountain of Fura, rich in gold, which
some people regard as corruption OF the
word Ophir" This view was also held by
the Portuguese writer Couto, who was
quoted by Theodore Bent In his Ruined
Cities of Newfoundland" With regard to
Fura, Couto said: 1.-THE richest mines OF
all are those Of Massapa. from which the
queen of Sheba took the greater part OF
the gold which she sent to offer to the
temple of Solomon, and 1t is Ophir, for the
Kaffirs call it Fur and the Mons Afur."
Dr. Peters states that no traveller has WIS.,
tied this region within the last 200 years.
He has now rediscovered ancient ruins Of
Semitic origin, including fortifications and
what he regarded as temple or store
house. The whole region is practically
un,nhabited. He also claims to have found
distinct traces of ancient gold working
there.-London Times.

Farmer Armour's Corner ON Acorns

Farmer Arm0ur's Corner ON Acorns.
p. D. Armour, late in life, has returned
TO his first love and Is now living on a
farm near Oconomowoc. He IL by no
means a mere ornamental farmer, either.
Any day he can be seen directing the work
of the "hired hands" experimenting the
building of corn cribs and barns and gem
orally showing the influence of his early
training The people of the neighborhood
say he trades horses with a shrewdness
that would make David Harum envious.
and he IL feeding the latest hogs that have
been seen in that section for twenty years.
Long ago, before Mr.. Armour embarked on
his career as a fnancier. he entertained
the theory that the best feed for pigs is
acorns Accordingly, as soon as he took up
farming again he sent out word that ne
would pay % cents bushel for acorns de-
iiyered in the farm yard. He got enough in
o week to feed all the pigs around Ocono-
mowoc. but he also got note from the
district school teacher, which read as fol-
lows:
s.Dear Sir-When you offered to pay rs
cents bushel for acorns there were sixty
scholars in my school. Now the regular
attendance Is about ten. In the interest OF
education I wish you would suspend your
operations for a more favorable season."
Farmer Armour saw the point and the
school is again full Of children poorer but
wiser for the suspension OF the offer.
The good man, however. expects thu holi-
day season will give him corner on
acorns.-Chicago Journal

and search was made for them. No trace
of them could be found. and the police
were notified. Footprints OF the two men
in the snow were followed to the extreme
end of the promenade toward the whirl-
pool.
Farther along the bank there were
signs OF body having fallen in the snow,
and the footprints Of only one man could
be discerned. Owing to the darkness the
search had to be discontinued. but men
are stationed along the river on the
watch for the appearance of either OF the
men. The police are inclined to look on
