cation proved that they had reopened
the old artesian well drilled by the city
away back in 1887. Just at this time
the we'll may prove OF value to the city.
In 1887. when the late o. B. Barrows
was chairman OF the water works COM
mittee Of the city council. the gas fever
was raging and many towns OF the
country were boring for gas. That WAS
before the water question became dig
f1cult problem, but foreseeing the future
trouble in this regard, the council de-
termined to bore for what they could
find. II they struck gas. they would be
happy, and IL they found good supply
OF water nothing would be lost. The
contract was let to drill well and the
work was started on the city property
Just north and west Of the pumping
station.
that 1t had troubles Of It's own before it
gave up this well. First the contractor
went broke and left town. Then the
council concluded to continue the work,
and the late John Black, who had come
here with the contractor. was put in
charge OF the work. Water was struck
at about 1000 feet. II was of excellen,
quality except thatit was strongly min
eral. Before the drilling was completed
in the hope OF securing alarger flow the
we'll caved In or became stopped In
some manner. and the project was
abandoned.
The presence of this hole in the
ground had been forgotten by many,
and superintendent Mack and his
workmen We're much surprised this
Afternoon when strong flow Of water
dubbed up when shovel full OF clay
was removed from one side of the pit.
This large pump pit has been sunk to a
depth OF fourteen feet, and it was at
this distance that the old artesian we'll
was uncovered. 1t has not been decided
exactly what to do with the flow Of wa
ter. but 1t Will probably be pipad and
preserved either as an addition to the
water supply or for the benefit ct those
who desire mineral water.

Business Man.
Sterling Silver and Sterling Methods
Have In Two Years Brought
Succesa

There Is one man in Marshalltown TO
whom September It'll Is an annive1 gary
OF dear remembrance. It was jus. two
years ago on TINS day that he opened a
store IN Marshalltown, and 1t was just
two years ago, go he now considers that
he made the lucky stroke Of his life.
When Vim. Hellbers opened his jew
Selry store to the public some one said
that he wac fakir who would do" the
people for week or two and leave In q
night. He replied by saying nothing and
selling goods On the day Of his opening
a continuous throng of people filed in
and out Of his store, and thruoul the
two years OF his business here that
3throng has continued, with scarcely an
intermission. To his critics he.
replied by selling goods, and he made it
q point in his busness that the goods
sold should tell his story. They did.
When Hellberg sold an article he gained
q customer for life. When committees
of lodges and societies called on him for
"a gift purchase he appreciated their.
purpose and entered into the split Of
charity by giving them every advan-
tage possible. He made friends by 1t
and built up trade az cold and ever
lasting as the granite substructure Of
the county court house. In the two years
he has done businesv in Marshal,towns
Hellberg has made himself the reliable
sjeweler Of the city. Parties seeking

This year Mr.. Hellberg feels that the

carried the largest stock In the city. He
will go east in a few days and when he

jeweler. He will then ask every man.

abusiness, but he wants all to see what

= warninx q Hunters.

"A mistaken idea seems to prevail
among some OF the sportsmen OF the
community regarding the open law on

the law is understood trouble is likely to
be in store for more than one hunter
For some reason or other. probably thru
Ecarelesemess publication has been made
( in some newspapers to the effect that
the law on chickens and quail expired
on Sept. 1, and that It is now lawful to
shoot quail az we'll as chickens. Such is
not the case, however, and quail are
still protected. and will be until Nov. !,
when the open season begins. lasting
until Jan. 1. Chickens are little earlier
In their breeding, and by Sept the
young chickens are large enough for the
frying pan. Quail, however are not,
and are hardly two-thirds grown, con-
sequently the game warden is instruct
ed to watch over the broods for two
months after the chickens are pro-.
nounced unprotected. One violation in
thiscity became known yesterday .when
a quail supper war served at one of the
restaurants OF the city for some ladies.
They were the gift OF a sportsman
friend, who unwittirgly shot the game.
The penalty Is very heavy in Instances
OF this kind, and not only s the sports
man liable to fine, but also those who
eat them and thoee who serve them at
a table.

To Dispose of Garbage.

\ pamphlet which deserves the at
tention of persons interested in the ju-
dicious and economical disposal of gar
bage and refuse is the Prospectus OF
the Thackeray Incinerating Company"
which comes from the Hawaiian Ca
zette print. This company claims to
make the only incinerator in use in
the United States which consumes gar
bage and refuse completely, leaving
only a clean ash and a metallic clink-
er. without the aid of fuel. The objec-
ton to other garbage incinerators has
been the great expense OF the fuel they
demanded; but in this case neither
coal, wood, nor even gas is used, the
garbage itself forming the fuel. It is
claimed that there are neither noxious
doors in the neighborhood OF the
works nor harmful qualities in the res
iduum, which can be used for filling
purposes, and the company refers to
san Francisco for confirmation OF its
assertions.

Feyers are less prevalent in the city
than they were a few weeks ago. The
cleansing of the city. the recent rains,
and the persistent enforcement OF sani-
