Tor the purpose OF electlng a
board OF directors for the ensuing

the company, has been sending
out with the call for the meeting
q statement giving bret outline
of what has been done and what
the company expects TO do. he
statement has a log OF the we'll,
printed in colots, showing the
formations passed through. The
circular gives an intere sting his
tory OF the we'll up TO the present
date, and IS as follows;
II hand you herewith notice
OF our annual meeting for the
election of board OF trustees.
aud take this opportunity OF pre-
sen:ing you with a brief outline OF
what we have been dong and
what we hope to do. You will
hud on the margin OF this sheet
log OF our well showing the fcrma-
,ions passed through, the number
OF flows of water encountered, and
the depth, 1850 feet. reached up
TO this time. When this well was
"spudded in" August IS. 1909, it
was our belief that we would have
an oil we'll inside OF sixty days.
From all the information we had,
we were led to believe that after
the depth OF l, $50 feet was reach
ed, and water would be passed.
and that we would have dry and
firm hole from this point down.
The form matioa down TO the second
Dakota sand was well known, as
most OF the artesian wells OF this
valley are down to this sand. Our
first order for well casing was for
ago feet of IoA inch casing to
shut out the FIRST Dakota water.
This water sand was struck at 40
feet, and passed through at 5o4
feet with II-inch hole; as our
casing had not arrived when this
depth was reached, the 10 inch
tools were put on and the drilling
continued until the second Da
kota sand was reached and passed
through. This flow OF water
flowed out at the top Of the we'll,
and the two waters were shut out
with 7Io feet OF So Inch casing;
the S.inch tools were now put on
and drilling resumed. When
depth of about $40 feet had been
reached, another flow OF water
was encountered, raising about
700 feet in the well; this was IN
the variegated green and red
marls, a very treacherous forma-
tibn on account OF its caving.
"Drilling was continued, how
ever. until depth Of I.23o feet
was reached, and three more flows
OF water encountered, these waters
standing within 100 feet Of the
top OF the well. 1t was now de-
cided to case this off, and 1,73o
feet Of 6H Inch casing was used
for this purpose; the 6-inch tools
were now put on and drilling re-
sumed. We thought that all water
had been passed, but in less than
100 feet two more flows we're en-
countered, which stood within $50
feet OF the top of the we'll. With
400 feet Of water and s inch
string Of tools drilling was very
slow. II was finally decided to
raise this casing few feet and

MICHIGAN SUED FOR ss,ooo,ooo.
Michigan Central Demands It For De-
privation of Special Charter.

Detroit, Mich, Dee. 29.-In the Gy-
ing hour OF the year 1902 the Michigan
Central steps forward with a suit
against the state of Michigan for So
100000
Suit for the amount was started on
Saturday in the Wayne circuit court.
This is the outcome of years OF pu-
litical quarreling and of many fight
in the legislature. Early in the '90s
the legislature passed bill providing
that roads with a certain amount or
earnings must reduce their passenger
rates to 2 or 21a cents, the going rate
before that time having been ) cents
a mile. The amendment to the law
made the Grand Trunk reduce its rate,
but the Michigan Central and Lake
Shore took refuge under their special
charters, which permitted them to
charge 8 cents mile.
1t was not until the special session
of the legislature, beginning at the end
Of 1899 and running into the first OF
1900. that the bill repeating the special
charters was passed, and there was, in
the measure, clause permitting the
railroads to sue the state, providing
that the suits were begun before the
end of 1902. The Michigan Central
has just covered it's distance, with the
lake Shore still to hear from.

State Teachers association convened
in Masonic temple Monday afternoon
with about 500 members present. AT

were held.
The address Of Hon. Delos Fab, su

the feature of the afternoon. He said
the Michigan school system was good
enough as far as it went, but it did
not so far enough. He spoke emphat

clared that four years OF high schooi
education in the state high schools is
sufficient TO give every graduate free

affairs, the state university would en-.
roll 5000 pupils from this state alone

Wreck, Says Jury.
INEXPERIENCED OPERATORS

at Junction Did Not Recognize HIs
Call.

Wyoming, Ont, Dec. 31.-The, cor.
oner's jury which has been invesLl
eating the wreck at Wanstead last Fri
day night, in which twenty-eight lives
were lost, brought in verdict shortly
before midnight last night. The yer.
dict is as follows:
1--WE find that Arthur w. Ricketts,
was killed in the collision at Wanstead
on the evening of Friday, Dec. &c,
1902 That said collision was caused
by wrong orders being given No. 5 at
Watford. Responsibility for the is
suance of wrong orders we are not
agreed upon as between Operator Car
son and Dispatcher Kerr. That after
No. 5 had left Watford by the issuance
of wrong orders, we consider that the
accident could have been averted by
the operator at Wyoming or Kings
Court Junction had the railway com
pany had more experienced operators
at those points Zone being a boy OF
16), at each OF which places the dis
patcher, having had ample time to do
it, and endeavored to get the opposing
trains stopped"
The principal Of the testimony yes
terday was the evidence of James
Troyer, the night operator at Kings
Court Junction, where Dispatcher
Kerr endeavored to stop the express
train. Troyer, who is boy OF 16, has
stated that he was on duty for the first
time on the night of the accident and
that his total previous experience as
an operator was for two nights at
Strathroy, where he received only a
total Of four messages. He save as a
reason for not hearing Dispatcher
Kerr calling him for seven or eight
minutes that he was studying the
time table and did not recognize the
Office call, which he had heard only
once before. Troyer's extreme youth
and apparent incompetence made a
deep impression upon the jury.

AS a rule men do not faint. Starting
with that proposition it suggests at once
that the frequency of fainting among

Lansing, Mich, Dec. 31.--The tenth
annual meeting of the State Associa-
tion of Judges commenced in the SUI
preme courtroom Tuesday afternoon
with Judge Clement Smith of Hastings
in the chair. AS preliminary to the
regular program, Judge West Of Lam
sing spoke briefly of the necessity for
a proper place for the confinement OF
youthful criminals. He also spoke of
the necessity OF prison for women.
Taking up the subject of marriage
and divorce, Judge Mayne suggested
that the marriage laws be amended
as follows: The license shall be taken
out three weeks prior to the marriage,
and two publications of such license
be made in an official paper; increase
the age limit OF females to IS and
males to 20, and permit marriages be-
low those ages only when permitted
by probate judges for cause; repeal
ing the present probate marriage law,
requiring on the part Of the male
showing of moral character and abil
ity to support a family; prohibit mar
riage where indiscretion or family his
tory would tend to the development OF
criminals, paupers, feeble-minded, con.

The following amendments to the
divorce laws were suggested: Provid-
ing that one year shall lapse after
actual separation of the parents before
bill for divorce can be filed; six
months must elapse after bill is filed
before decree is granted; prohibit the
marriage of either party for SIX
months after granting Of decree in all
cases, excepting where decree is grant
ed for incompatibility of temper, and
of offending party for two years after
granting Of decree, with longer period
in extreme cases; where service is OBJ

called as witnesses to the character
and good faith of the applicant; in no
case should decree be granted where
the applicant has been guilty of viola.
ton Of the marriage obligations no bill
to be filed until the party has been
resident Of the county for one year.
Judge Mayne also favored the pro-
posed indeterminate sentence law and
advocated an amendment to the con.
stitution so as to increase the salaries
of circuit judges and other made.
quately compensated officials. Circuit
judges should be entitled to their ex.
penses when away from home on Off

Judge Newman Of Grand Rapids
advocated an amendment to the di.
vorce law, which would require the

PRINTING PLANT BURNED.
Adventists Suffer Another Big Fire at
Battle Creek,

Battle Creek, Mich, Dec. 31.-The
largest printing plant in the state OF
Michigan Is now but heap of ashes
and ruins. Last evening the Review
and Herald establishment, owned by
the Adventists and located here,
burned to the ground.
The origin of the fire Is unknown.
The blaze was discovered about 1880
by the night Waterman. Some twenty
five workmen were in the building, and
in their efforts to escape many had
thrilling experiences. 1t is rumored
that one life is lost, but the statement
cannot be verified until the ruins will
permit Of investigation.
The loss will aggregate nearly $400,-
600, with about S150,000 insurance.
This is the second great fire the AG
ventists have sustained within the
year-their sanitarium building hav
ing burned in February.
