church-goers of this community
as it is probable that the Rev.
Hodges referred to therein will
hold religious services here in the
future as did Rev. Benton in the
past:
Rev. Hodges who came here
from Oklahoma to preach a trial
sermon at the Congregational
church Sunday and also to see if
he would like this country, prov
ed himself by his excellent dis
courses, on Sunday, to be a man
of exceptional ability. He is a
fluent speaker and holds the at
tention of his hearers. If he
should accept the work here he
will also have the charges of Ket-
ner and Holbrook. 1t will be a
matter of congratulation to his
church if they secure the services
of Rev. Hodges.

CLOSING OF WELLS

Il notice in The Times that. owing to
the suspicious character Of the water,

use the water, yet i am interested In the
comfort and welfare OF our citizens, es-
pccially the women and children whose
circumstances are such that they can

thermometer is ranging around the 100
mark. causing more sickness and dis
tress than all the water in the District
Of Columbia. including the pure spring
water from the Potomac rievr. and sold
at high prices throughout the city.
Some years ago the well az Third
street and Indiana avenue was closed,
it being given as the reason that il
caused typhoid fever. that two children
living az POI ID street northwest died
from this disease. the suspicion being
that II was from the use Of the water
from this wei. But. after a protest by
myself and other citizens Of the neigh
hOrhood. IL was discovered that the chill
dren who died were mine who had
never used any of this water, and died
from diphtheria instead Of typhoid fever,
and the well was reOpened, and has
