WELLS ARE
GIVEN INSPECTION
BY Mr.. HAHN. SUPT. OF WATER
WORKS AT MADISON.
Here On Request of Board of Wa
ter COmmisSiOners-Find Fourth
Street Well Airbound-Offers
Remedy to Correct Evil-Old
Well Discharges Normal Supply.

Mr.. John B. Hahn, superintendent,
of the waterworks at Madison, Wis.,,
was in the city Monday at the request
of the Board Of Water Commissioners.
to examine into the water supply OF
our artesian wells.
He found that the new we'll on
Fourth street was aiybound, this fact
greatly retarding the flow of water
from that we'll recommended that this
drawback BIZ removed and that by
correcting this obstacle the normal
flow would probably return in short
time, if not, then to connect the we'll
directly with one of the pumps at the
pump house and pump the water direct
from the we'll.
If the we'll should prove not to fur
nish enough water for direct pumping
then 1t would be necessary TO drill
tn. we'll deeper down to trap rock,
this then no doubt would double the
supply.
The old we'll at the reservoir as far
as can be seen discharges the normal
supply of water as it did when first
drilled twelve years ago.
AS to the water which is now run
ming to waste at the old we'll and
when comes frun the outside of the
casing of the we'll, he recommended
that small cistern be built at the
we'll for the purpose OF combining this
overflow water and then connecting
this clstern with the reservoir by a
six-inch iron pipe thus allowing this
water which now flows to waste to
BIZ used.
This overflow waste water has been
analysed by the state chemist at Mad
ison last week and found to be prac-
tically of the same purity as that
which now flows from the wells into
the reservoir.

COLUMBUS PEOPLE
LOYAL TO HOSPITAL
GOOD EXAMPLE FOR WATER
TOWN TO FOLLOW,
Institution There Started BY DR..
BelldCk. Formerly of This City
Local Pride Should Extend the
Same Encouragement to St,
Mdry'S.

The newly completed DR.. Bellack' S
hospital, which, by the way, ID 3
model in every sense of the word in
all it's appointments. we take pride
in sharing the honors with Columbus,
for Dr. Bellack was born and reared
in this city. where he still has host
Of friends.
But the subject, which is about to
be spoken of and which prompted
this article, is the public spirit and
truly charitable inte est manifested
by the people of Columbus and which
is so conspicuously evident everywhere
toward the hospital that makes one
not only stand up and take notice,
but fills one with admiration
The people are actually flocking
and are more than encouraging to
make that institution a success. The
proper spirit is always present and
they join hands for this worthy cause
for their home town.
IL has been noticed particularly,
that each room i'll that hospital was
provided for by charitably disposed
Individual citizens of Columbus and
vicinity from furniture to rugs. linens
ETC., as indicated on the doors by
neatly engraved tablets with the
names OF the donors and it is under
stood that sumo ladies are still ON
the waiting list to do their turn OF
the good WORK as soon as more rooms
are completed and as occasion may
require.
The building and equipplng uf
hospital in city of the size of Wa
tertown is fraught with great difficult
ties and financial disadvantages,
though it is absolutely indispensable,
not only in emergency cases, but 1t
has proven a most valuable necessity
10 time of sickness and distress to a
great many and of greater blessing
to the whole community
We may venture to say, that but
few of our people of means know and
are aware of the fact that our Wa
tertown hospital is still in need of
many things and that there Is much
room for good work here, although
fully equipped and furnished.
In one regard the people at large
Look at hospital of the kind as an
altar or shrine at which men and
women of all creeds may uffer their
dew Jtion and if So minded, draw near
each other in the proper spiri: of
benevolence for the tGround is
Holy to one and all.
Charity is ever thought to be about
the highest and deepest motive of
life, sanctuary of all creeds, reared
by all mankind and rejected by none,
it often whispers words of love unto
lonely souls, it is the uoblest aud
highest charm that ever graced the
earth
We have in our midst in Water
town just as many unselfish, noble
hearted men and women who will. if
aware of the needs IF our hospital,
not only emulate the good Samaritan
deeds of our neighbors in Columbus,
but will let the proverbial Watertown
Charitable Spirit assert itself and
prove that it never was dead letter.
Who will start the ball rolling?
