EIGHT FOOT SALT VEIN
We'll BOrar Strikes Paying Vein at
AIiRersEiIIe. Hams

Concordia, Kan, Feb. Alt has long
been known that the ground in the region
q few miles north of COncordia IS strongly
impregnated with salt. Salt springs,
streams, lakes and marshes, covering a
territory ter or fifteen miles wide and
extending thirty or forty miles from the
southwest to the northeast is included in
this salire strip. People living in this
locality long since learned that no fresh
water was to be found at any consider
able depth and so until quite recently
they have been content without going
very deep into the earth. But of late
a great many wells nave failed and peo-
pie in some instances have tried 10 find
a lower fresh water level. It was while
boring such a well near AIinersville last
week that Frank Kellogg, the well torer
of this city struck an eight-foct eein Of
solid rock salt at a depth of 1e4 feet. It
is his opinion that it is of the best quail
ity, and the fact that no rock was en-
countered in boring. makes it easy to get
at Who knows but Concor6ia may have
a salt works yet?
The claim of other cough medicines TO
be as good as Chamberlain's are effectuaI-
y set at rest in the following testimonial
Of Mr.. c. D. Glass, an employee of Bartlett
& Dennis Co. Gardiner, Ne. He says:
i had kept adding to a cold and cough
in the winter of 1897. trying every cough
medicine 1 heard of without permanent
help. until one day I was in the drug store
of Mr.. Houlehan and he advised me to
try Chamberlsin's Cough Remedy and
offered to pay back my money if I was
not cured. Ny lungs and bronchial tubes
were very sore at this time. but I was
completely cured by this remedy and have
since always turned 10 it when I got
cold, and soon find relief I also recon-
mend it 10 my friends and am glad to say
it is the best of an cough medicines" For

A HEAVY LOSS.
Fire Department Had Hard Battle
Sunday.

The fire department had hard bat
tie with a fire shortly before noon
Sunday, when it was called to GA
West Fourth street. Fire had bro
ken out in the house occupied by
Frank Williams at that number and
owned by Ira Phillips. When the de-
partment reached the scene the flames
were beyond control, and the house
was entirely consumed, together with
greater portion of its contents. The
loss to the building is about $1,000, on
which there was $500 insurance. The
loss to the contents was about $3.50,
there being that amount of insurance
on the household goods.
The department did excellent work
in keeping the flames from a house
next to the one which burned. This
was but two feet away from the Will
| liams home, and it was on fire several
times. In every instance, however,
| the flames were eXtinguished before
they did much damage and the loss
to this house will be less than S25.
Mayor Picker was at the fire sta
ton when the alarm was turned in
and accompanied the department to
the scene where he did excellent ser
vice in assisting the firemen fight the
flames. Several minutes were lost by
the department in starting for the fire
on account of the indefinite location
of the flames given by the central of
flee. 1t was necessary to wait nearly
five minutes before it was located.

Miss Eva Shaw to Represent Iowa
children's Home Society Here.


children's Home Society Here.
Rev. J. E. Van Wrinkle, who for the
past two years and half has been the
efficient district superintendent of the
Iowa Children's Home society, has re-
signed his position to engage in other
work. He will be succeeded by Miss
Eva Shaw, who for nine years has
been employed in the central Office at
Des Moines. Miss Shaw is already
well known to many of the loyal mem
bers and supporters ofthe society and
thoroughly familiar with the child saw
ing work. Her headquarters will be
in the Leighton building with Work &
Work and her residence 200 North
Wapello street of this city. She is
ready to look after all cases of depend
ent children and other interests of the
work in this part of the state and will
give all matters prompt attention. This
Christian charity was organized thir-
teen years ago, and is unsectarian, and
interdenominational and is purely hui
manitarian and philanthropic. The
rescue of the dependent children is
one of the most important and blessed
of the activities of Christianity. 1t
has received into it's guardianship and
cared for over 1920 children. These
are the neglected, homeless and desti-
tute ones of the state who without this
aid would have died of want, grown
up as street waits OF spent the years
of childhood in the poor house. They
are placed in carefully investigated
and well recommended family homes
with the least possible delay. The So
ciety is increasingly careful every
year in regard to the quality of homes
accepted for its wards. The homes
must be of a good, social, intellectual
and religious character. A clear,
clean recommendation of each applicant
by reliable parties is secured before
the home is officially approved for the
placement of a child. They are plac-
ed on ninety days trial. During this
period the society tries the home and
the home tries the child. II the place
ment is not "fit" in the Judgment of
