City Well Caved In.

The new city well just completed by
Wilson s. Co., of Kansas City, caved
in at about o'clock yesterday after
noon undoing the work that it has
taken a large force of men many
months to accomplish. The large
pump was started Thursday night to
lower the water that they might place
the engine in the we'll. They had
pumped all night and yesterday fore
noon, and had lowered the water Il
feet. This large amount of water
having been taken out reduced the
pressure on the walls and allowed
them to crash in, taking trees, stumps
and everything within many feet with
them.
Fortunately, no one was hurt, al
though number of men were stand
ing near and if the accident had hap
pened only a few moments later it
would have caught several men in the
well, which would have meant certain
death for them. A platform had been
built and they were getting ready to
lower it when the we'll caved.
The city council had not accepted
the well yet as they informed Mr..
Wilson some time ago that they would
not accept it until the water was
pumped out that they might see how
it looked. This leaves the city practi-
cally without water and the council
is in a quandary what to do. Mr..
Wilson was telegraphed for and will
probably arrive today.
This is certainly a great disaster as
everyone had centered their hopes on
the new well as the solution of the
water problem in our city.

TadIock For Principal.

We iare informed by j. M. Hickey
that the school board has contracted
with J. NJ. TadIock as principal of our
schools the ensuing term. While this
may not suit everyone in town, we be-
lieve the majority of the patrons of
the district will be satisfied with the
selection. Mr.. Tadlock is number
one educator, and as he is home man
we are glad to note that he has been
employed. We always believe in en-
ploying home teachers when possible,
and Mr.. Tadlock can handle the school
as well as anyone who has yet been
employed as principal.
Of course this appointment is not
supposed to suit the postmaster of
this city, who always rears back upon
his heels and bucks when he can't
dictate who shall have this place or
that place, and in his sheet last week
he displays that portion Of his person
supposed to be covered with pants,
and does it in such manner that
even his friends fear he is becoming
OfCA ObAebAASO0 III oPpCA IL
is just barely possible that he will
bring his guns to bear upon the school
board in such a manner that they will
be scared out of making a contract
with Mr.. Tad1ock, but we trust they
will have the sufficient backbone to
stand up against the rack.
We do not think politics should en-
ter into the matter of employing
teachers. Every man has perfect
right to his views on politics and re-
ligion, and while Mr.. Tadlock is a
populist, outside of that he is one of
the incest gentlemen in Phillipsburg,
and as teacher has few equals in
northwest Kansas. The thing he
probably has the least idea of is to
turn our schools into a political train
ing school. jim Tadlock is nobody IS
fool.-Phillipsburg News.
