During the afternoon Saylor had
made all preparations for his Eastern

THE POPULAR VOTE.

There is some speculation concern
ing .he probable total popular vote
that will be cast in the coming pres.
idential election, and the estimates
are made, ranging from 1i.500.O00 to
100000. Some calculators insist
tina. the increase of the vote over that
of 1900 should be at least 200. OO0.
while others. taking conditions into
consideration. say that in view Of the
noteworthy lack Of popular political
enthusiasm this year, We need not be
surprised il the total vote should fall
below that of 1900. despite the natural
increase of the number of men OF vot-
ing age within the last four years.
II is to be noted in this connection
hat the popular vote Of 1900 showei
very slight increase over that Of
1896. The total vote in 1896 was 1s.-
s2S.37s. and that Of 1900 was 1851
56G; an increase of only 3s.1Ss votes
in the Union. The canvass of 1896
was the more exciting and the people
generally were more thoroughly arous-
eu man IN lyUp. ana there was more
douh- concerning the election result
in the former year than the latter.
This may largely account for the
small increase in the vote. n the pop
nlsr interest and enthusiasm be TAX
en- as a guide in estimating the prob
able vote IN a presidential election.
i would seem a rational assumption

WELL Is FAILING
PERSONS WHO VISIT FoUN.
TAIN ON TENTH STREET ARE
SURPRISED AND DIsAPPoINT.
ED TO FIND NO WATER.

Many people residing in the vicini.
ty of Tenth and Walnut streets have
been disappointed the past few days
when they went to get water from
| the artesian well ON the south Size of
Tenth street between Walnut and
Cedar streets. The water was not
| flowing
Several years ago Major +. w.
Halliday had an artesian well driv-
en- on his property which extends
through the entire lot between Ninth
and Tenth streets. He used the
water in his residence and had a
concrete fountain built on Ninth
street to supply the public with wa
ter. Since the erection of the foun-
tain II has been visited daily by q
| large number OF people with vessels
in which they carried the water TO
their homes. Tin cups were also
kept at the fountain by Major Halli-
day and on summer evenings hun
1reds Of people quenched their thirst
at the "artesian well on Tenth
street"
The well sunk by Major Halliday
has flowed increasingly and with no
sign of diminishing since the time II
was driven until few days ago when
il was observed that the stream OF
water was not flowing as strongly as
usual From rising several inches

gradually diminished until now Y
scarcely reaches the surface and the
force is not sufficient to supply the
fountain. hence the lack of water
which has proven such boon to
residents of that portion of the city
The only explanation of this grad
ual diminishing of the stream is that
the great amount of water used at
the Ninth street power house, which
Is pumped from an artesian well
comes from the same underground
stream that supplies the well at
Major Halliday's place. II Is impos-
4ble TO tell whether or not the flow

creased or decreased recently as an
air pressure is used In forcing It from
the well.
The theory has been advanced that
the low condition Of the river had
something to do with the decreasing
flow.
II is understood that Major HALL
