Connecting With the Mississippi.
Spec,ai TO Times Republican.
Clinton, May 23.--If the passenger on
a Northwestern train is at all observing
a couple of miles east of this city, on
the other side of the Mississippi river,
he will notice peaceful little lake or
water about 1G0 yards in diameter. II
resembles in appearance an ordinary
pond full of SUI ace water, but the
farmers who live near the mysterious
Deep Hole, as it is called. assert it
is a regular devil hole" and has no
bottom, and Indications are that the
latter assertion is true The farmers
who live in the vicinity of the bottom
less lake assert that soundings have
been made with lines several hundred
feet in length, but no bottom has ever
been reached. 1t is thought the lake
connects with the Mississippi river by
a subteranean passage, and there are
good grounds for the assertion. The
water in the lake always rises and falls
with the rise and fall of the river
Then fish have been caught in the lake
such as are found in the Mississippi
There is no visible outlet or inlet to the
lake, yet in dry seasons 1t always re-
mains full of water. just the same as
when there has been lots of rain.
1t is said a number of years ago q
man attempted to swim across the lake
but was drowned. An effort was made
to recover the body. bat as the search
ers were unable to reach bottom with
long lines, the attempt was abandoned

A BREAD WAR ON.
Fort Dodge Consumers Getting Two
Loaves For S Cents.
gpecial n Times

Special to Times-Republican.
Fort Dodge, May 23.-Fort Dodge IS
having bread war which will vie in
fierceness with the sewing machine war
II present Indications are followed to
their logical conclusion. AS n result.
Fort Dodge people may expect to have
cheap bread for some little time to
come.
Hostilities have been pending for
some little time and have grown out
of the action of some of the bakers In
putting delivery wagons on the street
At that time, bread was selling for
five cents a loaf or six for quarter
Soon after that, some of the bakers
who were without wagons, lowered the
price of their bread to 10 cents for
three loaves, claiming that In this way
they were making no more money than
their brethren who had the expense OF
wagons to bear. and were charging b
cents loaf or six loaves for quar-
ter. This caused other price cutting
until finally a meeting was called on
Wednesday evening at which an effort
was made by the bakers who do not
deliver bread to have the delivery wa
CONS taken OFF, and sell the bread thru
grocery stores or from the bakeries, AZ
the straight price of five cents or SIX
loaves for quarter. Some OF the bak-
ers with wagons agreed to this, but
others refused, and the meeting broke
up, after a protracted session, without
accomplishing anything.
The first gun in the bread war was
fired yesterday morning when the Col
umbia restaurant began to sell at the
rate of two loaves for 5 cents, dropping
from three loaves for 10 cents, which
they had been previously charging.
CONFEDERATION on the part of the other
bakeries came and the situation will
probably become interesting within a
short time.
