 r. "The present epidemic of typhoid fe-
 yer in our city, supposedly caused by
 a pollution of our public water supply,
 emphatically emphasizes the great
 need of reliable and pure supply of 1 water for drinking purposes. t is ab-
 .solutely necessary to the health and
 comfort of the community. In no way can this be so well accomplished, it
 seems to me, as by the construction of
 artesian wells in different sections or
 the city. At a reasonable outlay such wells can be bored to a sufficient depth
 to insure purity and quantity, probably
 from one hundred to two hundred feet would be deep enough in most locali 1 ties. A small house or neat pavilion | could be built over each well to protect | 1t and also to hold the necessary equip ] ment of pump and power. In this way an unfaillng supply of free pure water for drinking purposes would at all
 times be accessible to our people, and then they would not be at the mercy of ignorant or malicious persons. who un- der present conditions are liable to en-

 sands of our people The present epi-
 demic should serve as a warning les son, and we should at once take steps
 to prevent a recurrence of such wide spread misery as we are now suffering under. The water of each well should be analysed by competent authority to see that no trace of pollution, past or present is in it. If desired to extend the benefits of these wells to a wider area in each section, it could readily be done by simple piping and faucet de vices. It seems to me that this subject of pure drinking water, so worthy and Important, should be taken into active consideration by this chamber a. an early date, and I, therefore, suggest that 1t be referred to our standing com- mittee on town and city improvement for investigation and recommendatipn. |
 Tn compliance with the foregoing ! suggestions by President Bradley the | chamber on the same evening adopted | the following resolution:
 Resolved, that that portion of the | presidents address which relates to the | sinking of artesian and other wells In | different parts of the city, in order to furnish pure drinking water to the peo- pie, be referred to the standing com mittee on town and city improvement, with direction to take such action by | application to the court of common council or otherwise, as will bring about the improvement referred to-"
 The standing committee on town and city improvement consists of the fol lowing gentlemen: Henry T. Blake, Eli Whitney, Henry r. English Liv- ingston w. Claaveland A. McMatthew- son. Joseph Parker and Albert B. Hill.
 We learn that a call for meeting of the committee to consider and act upon the subject above referred to by the president has already been issued.

A COMPL ICATEO LAW SUIT
W. $. Falls and s. D. Ray Contest
Over Possession of a North
Side Grocery Stock.

As the result of opposing claims w.
5. Falls has brought suit in district
court for possession of the grocery
stock known as the Lucky and to
have 5. ID. Ray barred. The contest
is complicated one and made n
merry time for those concerned Tues
day.
Falls is the Garnett and Humboldt
banker Some time ago Ray moved u
grocery stock to Garnett from Joplin,
Mo. There was heavy incumbrance
on it. Falls loaned enough money
to pay on the claim, Then man
named Sticer bought a dry goods
stock of man named Bodily in Gar
nett. Sticer also bought the Ray
stock, both purchases being made for
Falls. The combined stocks were
moved to lola and young man
named Halsey put in charge Ray com
ing along as a clerk. Falls had bills
OF sale for all the stocks, out there
was some kind OF an agreement that
when Fallis's claim was satisfied Ray
should have the remains. For some
reason Ray decided to take the whole
works and attached the stockTuesduy.
Falls replevined it, Ray sent con-
stable after Falls and while they were
busy entered and took possession.
Falls arranged his troubles with the
constable and retook possession of
the stock. Now he has sued to bar
Ray from Interference,
The reporter may have left out few
of the turns aud details, but the fore
going is brief synopsis of the deals.

Fred StONall DIVORCED.

Fred Stovall was Monday granted
divorce from Gertie Sanders) Sto-
vail, and was given the custody of
their younger girl, Mrs. Stovall keep
ing the older one. All the parties are
colored.
Stovall bears the reputation of be-
ing one of the best behavedsand most
industrious young colored men in
town. Trouble arose with his wife
some time ago, she picking quarrel
with his mother. At one time she had
him arrested for leaving her, but he
swore he was sending her money for
the children.
After the divorce quite "a crowd of
colored people gathered in front of
the court house and as the fearful
divorced wife started away with her
older daughter, the little girl ran
back and waved her hand to the baby
in her fathers arms. Good bye,
sister," Both the children are mulat-
toes and considered handsome. 1t
was rather pathetic little scene.

The Price of Brick Paving.

Fort Scott and Chanute are both
talking hopefully ofpaving their main
streets with vitriiod brick, and Cherry
vale already has several blocks of
line pavement. This is "a problem
lola Will have to solve some of these
days and so the following facts are
printed as told by the Fort Scott Tri-
bune.
Brick paving costs from $l00 to
Sl'oO per square yard. Property own
ers have TO pay for paving to the
middle of the street. So u 25.foot
business lot of paved out twenty feet
from the curb would cost S6l go, but
where an old macadam can be usedfor
a foundation one man estimates that
$50 to the lot would pay the bill. Fort
Scott's street commissioner estimated
the cost at $1,5O per front foot or
S37 so to the 25.foot lot.
The lola square would be the first
paving contract in lola and the city
would have to pay between the curb
line about the park and the street car
track or center of the street. Property
owners would pay for the space be.
tween their curb and the track or mid
die of the streets. And what a Joy it
would be if lola only had the paw
ing in!

TWO GLASS MEN IN TOWN
Ellwood, Indiana, Capitalists Here
Looking over lola and the Gas
Belt for Site.

There are two gentlemen named
Heller and Hoffman from Ellwood,
Indiana. They are strangers here
and not talking much about their bust
hess, but they sought out someone
who could show them about and hap
pened into the Gas Office. They were
directed to Mr.. A. i. Taylor. who
formerly lived in their neighborhood, q,
and so he took them in charge and in
company with Sam Brown, drove out
over the field and viewed the factories
now here. hey got Il pretty good
idea of the extent of the developed
local field and one of the Gas Com
pany's wells was opened to inform
them of the size and strength of the
wells found here.
In their conversation the fact was
dropped that they are glass men and
that if they can find a location in this
part of the country that suits them
they will seriously consider erecting a
plant here.
