WATER SUPPLIES FROM WELLS

Large Majority Of Cities and Town
Secure IL from tha4 Source,
A recent Investigation by tho Uni
ted States geological survey showed
that forty-ninc out of ffty-four cities
and towns in northern Indiana oh
tanned their water supplies in whole
or in part from underground sources
Forty-two of these have water of tho
best potable quality. A paper Civ
ing the results is. published in the
current number of Municipal Engl.
neering Magazine. which states thai
the ground waters of the state are
derived from glacial drift which un-
derlies It in depths varying from Il
few feet to several hundred feet ir
the northern counties, from the al
luvial sands and gravels Of the river
bottoms, or from the sandstones
llmestones and shales of the various
geologic formation beneath the drift.
The waters from all these water car.
rying beds contains mineral matters

acter of the constituents depending
upon the formation from which the
water is derived and upon the depth
of the we'll The analyses may be
summarized by stating that practi-
cally all limestone waters and water,
from gravel wells over 500 feet deep
are TO be preferred for domestic pur.
poses to water from gravel wells lesi
than 500 feet deep, For manufactur-
ing or boiler purposes, surface waters
are superior, but of the ground wa
ters, those from wells in gravel and
between so and 100 feet deep average
better than others. in that they show
the lowest maximum, lowest mini
mum, and lowest average amounts Of
scale producing minerals,
For the last few years the ground
wster level beneath large areas has
been falling, having lost fifteen to
twenty-five feet in the last twenty
five years. For this reason many
people in the country districts who

How Titles are Obtained.

Although it costs money to be
made peer, no sum can actually
buy a British title, as may be done
in some European countries. Honors
of this description are in the giving
of the King-or, rather, His Majesty
bestoys them on persons at the
recommendation of the Prime Minis
ter, who really has the final say in
the matter. Titles are conferred eth
er directly or indirectly. Directly
when no third person recommends a
candidate for royal recognition, and
indirectly when third person
brings a candidates name forward
he having good and valid grounds for
doing so. The former method, how
ever, is the one which is usually
adopted. 1t is the duty of the Prime
Minister TO distinguish a name cele-
brated in politics, science, art or lit
erature and to decide whether the
merits OF any given prominent person
deserve recognition at the hands of
the King.
If, in the opinion of the Prime
Minister, such given person de-
serves elevation to titled rank, be-
fore the Minister takes any steps in
the matter, the favored individual is
apprised of the Prime Minister'S in
tention by personal letter, in which
Is conveyed the degree or title it is
proposed to confer upon him, subject
to his approval. In four out of five
cases the approval is given. The
fifth person, who may have been of
fered a knighthood-or, perchance a
aronetcy-refuses, because his re-
fusal may increase chances of OBJ
tanning at later day a higher title
still-a peerage. Armed with the
persons approval, the Prime Minis
ter now takes the next step-that is,
obtaining His Maiesty's sanction,
which is rarely refused
1t is seldom that plain Mr." bios
SONS straightforward into Lord"
unless the circumstances are very
unusual, such as the reason why a
peerage was conferred on Mr.. Nor
ley recently. or honors conferred on
successful generals in the field, as in
the case of Wolseley, Roberts and
Kitchener. AS general rule plain
"Mr." is transformed into sir
that is, knight or baronet-and one
who is already a "Sir" and has done
some signal recognition finds his re-
ward in his ultimate service to the
state emitting him to royal elevation
to the peerage. Chicago News.

Such a decline is not peculiar &c
Indiana. II was observed in the ar
tesian we'll districts in Florida. where
the head in certain sections along
the east coast and St. Johns river
has declined notably. It has alsc
been recorded as a result of investi-
cations by the United States geo.rgi-
cal survey in the great plains, In
southern Michigan, and in southern
California, where the artesian ba.
sins have decreased in area, the
ground water level has declined and
the yield of flowing wells has dimin.
ished.
AT Chicago the first flowing arte-
sian well was drilled in 1864 and the
water rose 80 feet above the surface
or III above Lake Michigan. The

drilled is so great and the drafts up
on the water bearing strata so heavy
that now a flow can rarely be OBJ
tanned.
Many of the flowing wells areas in
Indiana have been personally visited
by survey investigators, and the
most conspicuous fact noticeable
everywhere was the recklessness with
which the best ground waters are
wasted. Hundreds of wells of pure
water from the Niagara limestones
are flowing to waste on the surface

THE MAN or FALLEN FORTUNES
His Opinion Of His Fellow Man as
Deduced From Hard Experience.

His Opinion Of His Fellow Man as
oedueed From Hard Experience.
Losing ones money" said the
man OF fallen fortunes, lis not with
out its compensating comforts; for
instance, In the discovery of ones
real friends.
when | was rich | never knew for
sure whether a man. being rich, was
drawn to me because l was rich also
or whether, being poor, he was drawn
to me because he thought could
help him; but it was easy to tell af-
ter | had lost my money.
THE proudest qualification that |
got then / found in the loyalty of my
family. One and all they stood by
me with a gentle sympathy and un-
faltering devotion that has continued
to the present moment and that |
Know will never fail-my strongest
and most encouraging support.
And then | began to make discov-
cries about my friends, to discover
which were fair weather friends,
which were friends only when / could
help them and which were friends
through thick and thin; and I found
friendlincss to exist as bedrock en-
during quality in .ich and poor alike.
There is this to be said about the
rich man and his money. When a
man has made money he hates to
give 1t up. But l have known rich
men who proved themselves stalwart
staying friends indeed; who gave
though the chances of the money
ever coming back to them-if they
thought of that at all-must have
seemed very slim; men who gave
with a prompt readiness that took
all the sting out of the necessity of
asking with a willingness that was
of itself most helpful and cheering.
And then while | have had men
drum me for small debts which | was
able to pay off only very slowly |
have had men to whom l owed big
ger debts say to me-and this out OF
sheer kindliness and friendliness "a
me-to take away from me a burden:
Forget 1t, old man; don't worry
yourself over that. Well just sim
| ply cross that off the books and call
1t square And-and this is not the
least of the things that have solaced
me-there are men. rich men and
men not rich, with whom my rela-
tions in another day were friendly
who have treated me always ever
since personally just the same, with
absolutely unbroken kindness and
! consideration.
so my misfortune has revealed tc
me friends whose real friendliness
might otherwise not have known and
the world seems kinder to me than
1t did before. We must all look out
for ourselves; self-preservation Is
the first law of nature, but still tine
fact remains that the run of men ore
a pretty good lot, ready to help 9th.

Making US Look Small.

Ed Hertweck, OF Fresno, CAL,
one of the Courier's good friends,
and we'll known here, writes US the
following:
al have noticed several times in
your paper that you are advocating
hitching-racks for your city. II
seems that no one cares to subscribe
anything towards upbuilding your
city. and / will start the move with
a small donation Of $500. which
may assist in getting place for the
good farmers of that neighborhood
to hitch their stock. When you are
ready for the money drop me a card
and l will send you check. Yours
truly,-Ed Hertweck.
This letter ought to make US fell
lows, who live here and do business
here, blush with shame. We are
certainly short horses when it comes
to certain public enterprises.
Hickman needs a hundred men

Do the People Rule?

In an address before the Bankers
Convention at Denver, Woodrow
Wilson, president OF Princeton, used
this expression
"The most striking fact about the
actual organization of modern So
ciety is that the most conspicuous,
the most readily welded, and the
most formidable power is not the
power Of government, but the power
of capital. Men of our day in Eng
land and America have almost for
gotten what il is to fear government,
but have found out what it is to fear
the power of capital, to watch it with
Jealousy and suspicion, and trace it
to the source of every open or hid
den wrong"
The reason capital is "more for
midable power than government" is
because capital organized into trusts
controls Congress through Cannon
in tn. House and through Aldrich in
the Senate by reason Of their big
contributions to the Republican cam
paign fund and control OF that party.
With Bryan in the White House,
capital will have every protection
but then President Wilson will not
be forced to say that capital is a
more formidable power than
government.
The trusts must abdicste.
