About The saIi Well.

We received a letter this week
from John H. Gates, of Andale, Ks.
enclosing a dollar for subscription
to THE News. Mr.. Gates also re-
quests us to send him the issue con-
tanning the account of the sinking of
the salt well. AS this paper was not
in existence at the time the well
caved in, we republish an article
from the Pearlette Call, a paper
published in this county at thattime.
The following is from that paper of
date of May IS, 1879:
considerable excitement has been
created in this section of late over
the discovery of salt well, about
II miles southwest of Pearlette.
Since the 3rd of March a piece of
ground some IT'S feet in diameter
has sunk, and the hole is now filled
with salt water to point IA feet be-
low the surface. Soundings have
shown the water to be from 40 to IS
feet in depth. On the 3rd of March
a wagon pacsed over the spot where
the well now is, and the ground
which is high, was then hard and
firm. The track made by the wagon
at that time is plainly visible on
each side of the well. On the a6th
of March it was found in its present
shape. The water is very salt-in
fact gallon boiled down produced
two quarts of salt"

EDUCATIONAL.

On the goth of this month our
Normal begins. l do hope every
teacher is making preparations and
will be ready to start on first day.
A letter from Prof. Baugher states
that he is now at Garden City con-
Quoting Institute with an enrolment
of 6s. We cannot expect such an
enrolment in Meade County, but
let US have all we can. have talk
ed with nearly all our teachers and
everyone expects to be here, also a
number of advanced students. Re-
member only those attending Insti-
tute every day can carry grades.
The course of study can be procured
any time.
Ethel Black, Ruth Bennett, Nell
lie Sourbeer, and Maude Bayless
returned from Nickerson College
last Saturday. Ethel has been in
school one year and the other three
girls, ten weeks. All seemed we'll
pleased with their work and say
Nickerson college is all right. One
of the girls says she is going to write
a "Smith's Grammar" and will have
it ready for use IN Normal.
The N. N. c. grants two scholar
ships this year, This aids us in
sending them two more students
this fall. Am glad TO know they
are going to take advantage of this
opportunity and may they continue
the work and realize what an advan-
tage an education is before it is too
late.

1t is said that the friends of ex.
Congressman Botkin have decided
to press his claims for the nomina-
ton for congressman-at-large on the
fusion ticket. Every day the op-
position to a union of forces be-
tween the two parties is becoming
less. Many of those who were most
bitterly opposed to such a plan a
few weeks ago are now among its
warmest supporters. They are be-
ginning to realize that good fusion
ticket backed by a compact and
harmonious party is reasonably GER
tain to wrest control of the state
from the Republicans this fall

Owing to high water last Sunday
Joe Saunders could not ford the
Beaver with his rig, so he started to
walk across the railroad bridge, car
rying the mail sacks. A train ap-
preached him while on the bridge
and he dropped the sacks and ran,
getting to the end of the bridge and
escaping by the skin of his teeth.
Two of his children were with him
and they likewise had a narrow
escape, One of the mail sacks was
cut in two by the train and the con.

LOW ART" AND CLUBS
ATTACKED BY BR0UGHT0N

In a characteristic sermon, DR.. Len @.
Broughton Sunday night formally declared
war on pictures of doubtful character in
saloons and attacked clubs. The pictur-
esaue discussion had been announced by
DR.. Broughton, but the club features Of
his sermon came without previous no
tice.
DR.. Broughton preached another Of the
series of sermons he has been giving for
some time now on various modes Of going
to the devil. He discussed the husband
last night and pointed out the many
routes open to him. AS to art and the cru
SADIE which is ON against pictures in bars,
DIR. Broughton said he wanted 1t under
stood he was after low art The pa
pers, he said, came out with big headlines
about a war on high art. Low art Is the
objective point of the attack, according to
the doctor.
You might as we'll talk about high art
in hell as high art in a grog shop. he
declared. But thank God we of Atlanta
have at last declared to the world that we
will have no more of such art. The war
is on, and let no man cry Persecution
They are. put on notice now that all such
pictures must go. We have secured the
conviction Of one man, am glad to say,
and another will be convicted If the pic
lures don't 60"
DR.. Broughton called on the women OF
Atlanta to join the crusade against So
called art. He says he knows what art is.
he has seen the best in the best galleries
of Europe, he says. Fine art is a great
thing may do great good, according to
the doctor, but there is no connection be-
tween the fine, chaste paintings of true
nigh art and the vile picturesSthat are
seen in saloons.

Smith has a public office TO surrender in
preparation. for the scramble before the
June primary. They are not able TO pour
back in the Jug" as General Toombs
would say, if he was here. And perhaps
they will be that much better off, because
1t is a question whether partizanship or
favorftism does not hinder more than il
helps a candidate. A shrewd politician
once said in my hearing: 'T can manage
my enemies If somebody will harmonize
my friends"
1t takes precious little to make some
people turn against a candidate, If the
s'some people" conclude that their heads
have been passed over to pick out ia
vorite especially IL the "some people"
have spent their money and halloed them
selves hoarse for him IN previous cam
paigns. very strong candidate may be
able to hold off the gang until his pet is
pushed into the vacated place, but II will
resolve itself into pure strength before
the campaign is over. because he will new
er get through explaining and will be ham
dicapped by his favoritism from start to
finish. I would not resign If held good
paying Office from the state. One can af-
ford to risk being invited to occupy
higher seat, but it will become rather en-
barrassing to find ones self like puss in

EATING IN HAVANA.
Yankees Club Together.

In Havana IL is the custom to serve only
bread and coffee for breakfast. A little
colony of Americans that felt they could
not do their work until moon on this kind
of diet dubbed together and began i'm
porting Grape-Nuts Breakfast Food.
One of them writing about the matter.
says: THE modern cooking range had
never been known in Cuba until the
American occupation, and even now they
are scarce, so that ready cooked food
like Grape-Nuts recommends itself TO
start with: then the Yankees were accus-
toned to the food and felt they could
hardly get along without it, They began
buying in five-case lots and one by one
the larger grocery stores began keeping
Grape-Nuts in stock, so the business
spread until now great quantities of
Grape-Nuts are used in Cuba, and 1t is not
only used by the Americans, but the other
inhabitants as WELL
This is an illustration of the way the
famous food has pushed itself into all
speaking people go they demand Grape
Nuts. They can be found in South Africa.
Egypt. India, China, japan, Australia
and South America.
Many Americans speak of the home
like feeling it gives them to see the
numberless buses I'm the streets of Lon
don decorated with great blue signs with
the word "Grape-Nuts.' done in yellow
letters. and all over England the great
purveying shops distribute Grape-Nuts.
English roast beef has largely given
way TO American roast beef and the old
fashioned English breakfast of bacon and
potatoes is now supplemented with Grape
Nuts and cream. The change was made
for a reason. 1t has been discovered that
almost magical power rests within the
little granules. and this power is set free
in the body that makes use Of the famous
food.

JIMMY MICHAEL OUTS
RACE TIRED OUT

Jimmy Michaers career asa bicycle
rider on American tracks came to an END
very suddenly at Philadelphia last Sun
day, when he withdrew from his race
against Archie McEachern in rather I'M
dignifed manner. Michael foresaw defeat
by his own admission and he thought
caution the better part of valor. Perhaps
the old saw came to his mind: HE who
fights and runs away may live to. fight
another day" But Michael may never
fight again on the cycle track. for his
race of the previous Saturday evening hve
miles against Jean Gougoltz was too much
for him. He finished a slow ride all out
and when Archie McEachern did his five
against Freeman in 1853. rs on the twelve
lap track Michael said that his finish had
come. No amount of persuasion would
induce him to change his mind.
During a career of ten years which fin
ished so suddenly and unexpectedly Mi
chael has won $500 600, quite nest egg,
and the amount he has at the most but
a very little. During five years in Amer
ica of which he rode a wheel but four
years. he has won over 100000. Through
out his entire career Michael has been
in almost steady training with the excep-
ton of one season when he followed the
horses. The steady wear and tear upon
his system has been great. yet he has
grown but little older in appearance. His
age is twenty EIGHT years. His life upon
the track has been of about the average
number of years and he might have gone
on for double the time with average care
of himself Again and again Michael has
been considered down and out, but good
handlers have been able to get races out
of him as did Tom Eek this last fall, when
Michael won twenty-five of twenty-three
races. tying the record of Johnnie Nelson
by taking down seventeen victories In
succession. During this career Michael

UP to his full height he threw a note OF
triumph into his voice as he shouted:

This shaft went straight home to

seat and a moment later left the
chamber, conquered in debate for the
first time in years.
