A Splendid We'll.

Tho digging and blasting CT tho ciiy's
now well was finished few days since.
The well Is so feot in diameter and 25
feet deep. going down 70 a source Of per-
potual and most abundant supply. Tho
water is clear but with some mineral
properties. Il is though; that by blasting
through the las; layer Of rock softer
water has been obtained.
Tho water runs in number Of streams
as fast as two pumps Of 700 gallons per
minute can handle Il, and when not pump
cd out stands at depth Of 2 feet. The
amount is not only ample for tho present
needs Of the city but will furnish reliable
source Of supply for the increase Of seyor-
al years. The well will be covered with
shingle roof and connected directly with
tho pumping engines.
This in connection with the artesian
wells and the ditch rights give Rocky Ford
an abundant water supply. The new
well. even in its unfinished condition has
proved valuable asset Of the city during
artesian water for irrigation and the ditch
supply uncertain the water from the well
was depended on for all purposes and
there was always enough.
Il has been suggested that artosian
water be run in the pipes two days Of
each week. that housekeepers may have
for that length Of time the use OF the
softost and best Of water. When our cit
liens are disposed to complain at the use
Of hard" water. let them remember that
for few years they have had the best
water Of any town in the yalley-pure
artesiau except at times when ditch water
had to be run in. La Junta. for Instance.
has as the sole water supply a well very
similar to our new we'll. Our citizens
may be said TO have been spoiled by the
use Of the elegant artesian water.

grant that the full truth has been told

opinion. We have among US good busi-

tho belief that saloons are necessary to a

farm is thought by license advocates to
be good argument for the restoration Of
the saloon with its general Generalization

President Roosevelt has suggested the
need Of new financial legislation. The
Pueblo Chieftain has an article on the
subject. closing with the following correct
and comprehensive view Of the govern
ment's relation to the financial needs oi
the people: The general object Of the
government ought to be to promote the
welfare OF the people as whole rather
than to cater TO the interests Of any par
tieular class or clique. no matter how i'm
portant or essential that may be. and
congress should be extremely careful no,
to allow itself TO be influenced in any way
into giving up into private hands any OF
those functions Of government that have
been committed TO Il by the people. and
that the people expect to be carefully
preserved and discharged for the general
welfare.

DIR. Miles Nervine Did
Relieve and Cure.

"The doctor tried but couldn't relieve me-
is phrase commonly met with in the letters
we receive from grateful patients. The
reason is plain. The doctor tries to cure the
symptom and neglects the disease. In all
cases of chronic headache, nervousness,
weakness, general debility, dizzy spells, loss
of appetite inability to sleep, lack of energy,
loss of flesh, lack of interest, morbid tend
encies, hysteria, the disease is nervous dis.
order and some means must be taken to
strengthen and restore the nervous system.
DIR. Miles Restorative Nervine is performing
wonders every day and will cure you as it
has thousands of others. Read how quickly
it acted in the following case:
"A few years ago ! was greatly troubled
with nervousness and indigestion. While at
work dizzy spell would come over me and
would be forced to stop and rest / suffered
terribly from headaches and my nervousness
was so marked as to cause almost constant
twitching of the muscles. My doctor tried
but could not relieve me. l finally began
the use of DR.. Miles Restorative Nervine
and continued until have used four bottles,
although l have not had dizzy spell since
taking the first dose. l am very thankful for
what your medicine has done for me and
shall take pleasure in recommending it
whenever | can."-FRANK P. BENTLEY, Mid
