The artesian we'll firm of A.
Moresi's Sons of Jeanerette, who
for the past few days have been
boring a test well for Krause &
Managan on their farm three miles
northwest of West Lake, struck a
splendid flow Of water 1t a depth
of 1856. From indications :. Mr.
Moresi, who has charge of the
work, thinks the vain of water
bearing sand is from 30 to 10
feet thick. When the water was
first struck is flowed about three
feet above the surface of the
ground, which Mr.. Moresi thinks
the eight inch well when compile.
ted will do, though of that he is
not certain. At any rate there is
worlds of water" and when push
ed by the large air compressor
purchased by Messrs Krause &
Managan will be easily accessible.
Mr.. Moresi will at once begin
sinking the s inch we'll and will
go with it to q depth of 400 feet,
30 as to allow about 25 or 30 feet
of brass screen at the bottom.
This practical solves the ques.
tion of we'll irrigation for western
Calcasieu prsiries, and is certainly
good news.-Westlake Herald.

sdition to the available resources OF
trade and Industry was this deposit Of
public funds In the national banks. This
was not q new device. but an enlarge
ment OF well-estabHshed practice.
Deposits We're granted to every bank
applying with proper security while the,
surplus permitted. and about $50, 900, 900
was kept in the treasury. The moneys
SO placed were at their maximum on
Feb. TO-, 1900, at $l09, 094,S7s. including the
credit of disbursing officers, and were.
reduced to $685. l0.49s by Sept. is. The
repositories number 440, and they are
found in every state except Mississippi
and Nevada, and every territory except
Arizona and the Indian Territory. The
banks holding $4,000 or less are 40;
from $4,000 TO 100000, ninety-three;
from 100000 to 100000. eighty
from 100000 to 100000. siNty-one; from
Is5oo,ooO to .$l,O00,OOo, nineteen; over ST..
100000. ten.
On May %, to prepare for the pay
iment of old twos, a: call was made on
these repositories prs rata, and in June
ia second and third call followed, to
the aggregate of s14s53,7oo. No single
institution, no one city could have paid
that money more promptly and with
less friction than did these i4O banks all
ever the country. This is the plain
story of the putting out of s17s,oooooo
from the treasury, above current ex-
penditures.
A severe contraction would have fol-
lowed government operations running
loose without such care and vigilance.
The funds We've left to fructifS in the
lmarts Of trade. Largely available for
any emergency. the business of the
country had the benefit of them: The
full force of the national wealth was
turned upon all the enginery Of indus
FRY, of commerce and of finance.

! IOWA PRESS coanENr.

According to the Independence Bulle-
tin Journal, In 1894 Mr.. Boies filled
King opera house to standing room.
That year the democrats were beaten In
Buchanan county nearly 500. Last week
the candidate for congress against Hen
derson had less than sixty people. This
indicates that the republican ma jority
will not be less than 1000 this year.
In noticing that the newspapers of
that part of the state continue to warn
their rural patrons against the steel
range peddlers, the Clarksvile Star
says: That skin game has been 80 thor
oughly exposed in the past couple of
Years that anybody soft enough to go

When j ohm P. Irish lived in Iowa
says the Burlington Hawkeye he was
a power in the democratic party of this
state. For several years he has been a
resident of California. He is, and all
ways was. a sound money democrat and
four years ago opposed Bryan. He is
still opposed to him. On Tuesday he ad-
dressed a large gathering of honest mon
ley democrats at lSokomo, Ind, under
the auspices Of the local sound money
club. Mr.. Irish's speech was an arr
raignment of the fallacies of Bryan and

The BIG WATERLOO RALLY.

The great republican rally at Water
) loo on Friday in honor of Governor
Theodore Roosevelt, of New York,
was the biggest political event thus
far in the campaign in this STATE. An
old time Marshall republican says he
has seen many immense political
rallies, but this surpassed anything in
his experience. The preceding esti-
mates of attendance We're exceeded,
Waterloo was overwhelmed. and Iowa
was present.in mighty force and ems
thusiasm. lit Was at once tribute to
the able, active and earnest governor
OF New York and a forceful expression,
OF the determination of the republicans
OF Iowa to make this meeting an indi-
cation of their purpose to show that
Iowa leads in party spirit. All this is
significant because there is no excite
mentsil Iowa political circles Ii is 5ac-
cepted as a foregone conclusion that
the state will roll up a big republican
majority and hence there is no stimu-
lus to rouse a spirit Of contest.
That Governor Roosevelt was a
drawing card is freely admitted. He
has been doing very active and effect
i've campaigning in the states west of
us and there was great desire to
greet him and to hear him discuss the
issues. That he has great adtnira-
tion for Iowa republicaaisn, is -aown

One in a hundred heard the speech, but

of a letter received at Ackley sometime
ago:

brought out this reply, and 1t not only

Again can triumph of the prohibi-

visit to Fonda the writer saw strong
evidences that the town was wet
one. In fact, it can be assumed that a
large majority Of the citizens OF Fonda
believe that the open saloon, paying a
large share of the tax money, is prefer
able to the bootlegger only paying a
government license. But these feelings
were not recognized when some active
workers got after the saloon crowd and
closed every saloon in town. This Is
mentioned here so that Candidate
Woolley can truthfully announce to the
world that the prohibition law Is Still
