The flowing wells on the East side
are deeper, the deepest being 388 feet
and the shallowest 321 feet.
The city council, May, 1893, appro-
priated money for the sinking of four
wells on the West side to provide
water for neighborhoods whose ordi-
nary supply had been condemned by
the city health department as unhealth-
full. One was sunk under the high
bridge, 1S9 feet; one half mile above
the high bridge, ISL feet; one on State
street, 298 feet; one on Kentucky street,
2S5 feet; one on the lower levee be-
low Broadway bridge. 29S feet. The
deepest and shallowest well showed
difference in depth of nearly $50 feet.
The deepest well shown in the rec
ords at the city engineers Office is
that at Engine Co. No. 6, on Clinton
and Delos streets. The depth of the
we'll is 1867 feet, or 323 feet below
sea level. There are two wells at
Como park which keep up the level of
the lake and several wells at other
lakes linked in the city supply sys-
tenn, notably at Lake Vadnais and Cen
terville lake. Artesian wells have also
been drilled @at White Bear lake for
the purpose of replenishing the lake.
The flowing wells were nearly all
found in white sand under the lime
stone cap. The borings pass through
from sixty-eight to 1876 feet of blue
clay drift, from 100 to 233 feet of lime

The head Of the largest meat pack

years, prior to his death, never trav-

elusive attendance by the year and con-
sidered the large salary paid for such
service as a part of his business in

he was hypochondriac, in constant

or it may develop into Pneumonia,
Chronic Catarrh, or an irritating throat

should be fastened by some simple
antiseptic preparation like Stuart's
Catarrh Tablets, which are dissolved
in the mouth and thus reach and de-

a chance to propagate and thrive in

To burden the stomach With drugs

dangerous way to combat cold, be-
cause stimulants are always followed
by corresponding depression and where
there is any tendency to Pneumonia
increases the danger by increasing

Gov. John p. st. John of Kansas, the

here as youth, though much of the
time he was away from home studying
in Cincinnati. His mother is buried in
the old cemetery in the heart of the
town.
Oliver H. Gibson, the famous ad-

in Brookville, and so did Capt Hern-

the Amazon, and was a famous sea

A careful perusal OF these reports

than that Texas bids fair to enjoy

creased, and the fields give great
promise OF an abundant harvest.

to correspondents the one-crop idea
is fast becoming extinct, and this

THE following composition was
written by q member OF the ninth
grade rhetoric class of the Waxaf-
ACHE High School:I
There are a great many improve
ments that might be made around
our public school upon building and
grounds.
The fence has long since ceased to
be an object of beauty. Last sum
mer a slight wind left it on the
sidewalk, and to save a small ex-
pense, several unattractive sticks
were substituted for better material.
The walks on the campus are very
well kept. In rainy weather the
girls are confined to the walks, be-
cause a slight rain renders the rest
of the campus almost impassabIe1
More trees should be sput out, and
those already growing should re-
ceive better attention.
The building in which we spend
the greater part of each day is sadly
IN need of repair. If the roof above
some of the rooms, especially the
roof above the room the seventh
grade is now occupying, has not
been repaired lately / am afraid
the pupils and teacher experience
some inconvenience during rainy
weather.
The cement on the outside walls
has fallen of in number of places
New cement has always been put
back, but when this has been paint
ed very good taste has not always
been used in matching the red there
fore the walls exhibit a number Of
different shades Of red. The inside
walls are also cracking with age
Occasionally a large piece of cement
will fall, causing great deal of dis.
turbanCe.
The windows are also neglected
Perhaps pane of glass will be out

is put in. Sometimes a tow-sack Is
used TO keep the wind out. When
the wind is strong and the sack re-
fuses to fulfll its office, the girl.

The paint is wearing of rapidly, and

Not more than half Of the pupils
