Frank Mckee and III. Z. Rogers sub
mitted report dealing with the condi.
ton of water furnished by the Water
Supply company. Their attack centers
on a we'll located near the woolen
mills. which they designate as No. l.
This we'll has heen abandoned for
years-formerly a valve in the pipe
cut off the fiow-about a year ago a
wooden plug was driven in the con-
Meeting pipe, insuring complete isola-
ton of this well. The committee re-
ported this well 25 feet deep. 1t is ex-
actly IS. BY careful observation 1t has
been found that water rises within 16
feet of surface. This well at its best

benefit to the water company can be

ton suggests that the company be re-
auired to take such steps as necessary

been taken, as over IS 900 was expend-
ed since January /, 1901, in driving
eight wells with an approximate depth
of 20 feet, insuring a plentiful supply

Books for Teachers and Pupils.

Topeka, Kan, March 1O-The read
ing circle board of the State Teach
ers' association, in session at Topeka,
made change in the method of Sc
lecting books for use in the teachers
and pupils libraries of the state.
Heretofore only a small list of books
has been recommended for the use of
teachers and pupils and if others
were wanted the librarians of the
school districts were compelled to
purchase and pay the retail price for
them. The board elected A. b. Row.
land. of Lawrence, manager of the
teachers and pupils reading circles
of the state. A list of 100 books for
the use of the teachers and pupils
was recommended and given to Mr..
Rowland. He will order the books for
the libraries as they order from him.
The books will cost the reading circle
less by ordering through a state
agent and this method gives the cir
cles a greater variety of books to
choose from.
