Underground Water Resources
of Mississippi.

A paper describing the under.
ground water resources OF Mis-
sissippi, by State Geologist "A. +.
Order and l.. G. johnson, has
lust been issued by the United
States Geological Survey as
Water Supply Paper Nc. l59.
The underground waters of Mis-
sissippi are derived from two
diverse sources. The salt water
encountered in some Of. the deep
er wells represents i'll all probab
ility ocean waters that have been
retained siucc the accumulation
OF the sedimentary rocks beneath
the sea, while tEs fresh waters i'll
all of the shallow wells and in a
large proportion of the deep wells
are derived from the rainfall. In
this paper. which may be obtain
ed on application to the Director
of the United States Geological
Survey, Nashington, u. o., arc
discussed the geologic and other
conditions that affect the occur
renee of underground water.
Each county is taken up sep
erately and there is given a short
account of the wells that have
been sunk and of the under
ground water conditions. The
paper includes also the principal
items of information regarding
most Of the deep wells in the
State, a discussion Of the san
itary aspects OF the wells, and
analyses of many of the we'll and
spring waters.

As a whole, Mr.. Bryan's Mad


ison Square Garden speech, in so
far as it dealt with the establish
ed creed OF Democracy, has met
with the approval of Democrats
all over the country. Some OF
the most prominent men 10 the
party, however, including Senator
Daley, Senator McLaurin, Rep
re%sentative JohnSharp Williams,
and Representative Livingston,
are not prepared to endorse the
personal views of the Nebraska
orator in favor of government
ownership and operation of rail-
roads. 1t should be clearly un
derstood that Mr., Bryan did not
put his views Oh this subject
forward as the doctrine of his
party, but merely as the express
sion of personal opinion that he
was Inclined to hold. He made
it clear that he was expressing
only his individual views, and
expressly said that he did not
know that a majority of his party
favored government ownership.
This was a recognition of the
fact that if government owner
ship ever becomes an issue to
which the Democratic party is
committed it must be made so by
a majority OF the party, speaking
through a national convention.
Unless, in the meantime, Mr..
Bryan shall be convinced that
government ownership would
put too much power in the hands
of the Federal government, it is
possible that he may endeavor to
have his party declare tor it in
the next nationals convention.
It he fails it will not be an issue
in the campaign, and whether
MI. Bryan or some other Dem
ocrat shall be the Presidential
candidate the campaign viii be
fought on the platform of the
party and not on the private
views of any individual. At any
rate, government ownership is
not III any way an issue IN the
present campaign and conser-
vative Democrats who do not
agree with Mr.. Bryan will not
be misled by the Republican con-
struction that the way to elimi-
nate this question from politics,
once for all is to vote the Repub
lican ticket this ial.l.-Wa ash

Just How 1t Happened.

The day of the man with the hoe
is now beginning to dawn in West
Texas. There was once a time
when things were made mighty
rocky for him when he sought a
dwelling place here. He was told
that nothing would grow in this
country and that if he stayed he
would starve. About one per cent
of him was unable to go farther
and was compelled to remain. The
seasons came and went. He plant
ed and reaped, but was told the
reaping was an accident, and would
never occur again. He planted
again; others of his following came
and bought large tracts of land and
divided it out among themselves
and formed communities, until now
the man who sought to drive him
away rejoices to see him come, for
the man with the hoe is making
him rich. Sterling News Record.

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness if caused by an inhamed Condi-
ton of the mucous lining of the Eustach-
ian Tube. When this tube is inflamed
you have a rumbling sound or imperfect
hearing, and when it is entirely closed,
Deafness is the result, and unless the
can be taken out and this
tube restored to its normal condition,
hearing will be destroyed forever; nine
cases out of ten are caused by Catarrh,
which is nothing but an infamed con
tition of the mucous surfaces.

many smiles he presented it, and
watched anxiously while Judge
Fuller appreciatively slipped it.

carry more liquor than any other man

the second session some Philadel-
phians got together and put up a job

that when one party had enough an
other should take hold. and thus keep
going until they had Smith down and
out. Well, they began with Smith
one evening, and after two relays had
succumbed their successors noted
with much satisfaction that Smith
was mixing his beverages-they
didn't know that was his custom, and
he fooled them all. The bout con-
tinued all night and all of the next
day. and when the second evening
came Smith was the only man able
to get away unaided.
