When Mr.. W B. Freeman, of
the United States Geological
Survey, was in the city recently,
The Grit Advocate made mquir-
les regarding the underground
waters OF this region. Mr.. Free
man had at hand no data, his
branch Of this service being in
surface waters, but he kindly
submitted thequestions to Wash
ingtOn and received the following
reply from Prof. w. c. Mendcn-
hail, Geologist, Washington, dat
ed May IS:
81 beg to inform you that the region
in the vicinity OF ,julesburg. Colorado,
has been treated from the point Of view
OF occurrence of ground waters in Pro
fcssional Paper No. % by Mr.. Darton
on the underground waters of the Cen
tral Great Plains. Thi, paper, as you
know Is out of stock. and can only be
obtained now by purchase. the price
being $50. Furthermore, Juesburg
and western Nebraska and northeast
ern Colorado generally lie within the
area in which Mr.. Darton found it not
possible to predict definitely the occur
renee OF ground waters because Of the
great depth there of the Dakota sand
stone, the principal water bearing beds
under the Central Great Plains. 1t
seems possible that this water bearing
bed lies three thousand feet or more
beio" the surface at Julesburg. al
though, IL stated above. it is not pos
sIblc to predict with any certainty"

School began Sunday evening at
the NJ E. church with appropri-
ate exercises and timely ser
mon by Rev. G. G.. Giler suita-
BILE not only to the young people
bnt to the elders as well. Prof.
&. V. Parker looked with salts
faction upon the finishing work
Of the three young ladies' whom
he had prepared for the great
event of graduation Misses Ju-
liza Frederick, Bess Law and Ad-
die McNeW W-and though the
weather was against it, the
church was filed with patrons
of the school. Rev. John NJ
Kinds, the new pastor Of the
congregational church, offered
a most fervant prayer. Courte
sy to the chOirS of both of the
leading denominations was also
recognized, and the music was
good.
Tuesday evening the M. f..
church was profusely decorated
in the class cOlOrS of red and
black, with potted and cut flow
ers of the lighter hues. A string
of red bells with electric light
Jets inserted gave the rOStrum a
striking appearance. At the eX-
act moment Miss LeOnhardt rem
dered a classical piano selection,
after which the graduates took
their places upon the rOstrum,
each holding great bouquet of
red carnations. Rev. Giller Of.
fered Il fervent Invocation, follow
ed by Miss Frederick with the
Well-SpOken Class Ode. Misses
McNeW and Law rendered the
"Valse Ventienne" duet on the
piano veay gracefully and were
encored. The vocal duet Lead
Me, o Lord,' was most delight
fully rendered. State Superin-
tendent Katherine Craig, in a
twenty minute address most Ell
oquently touched upon the high
er civilization growing out of edu-
cation, and in neat cOngratula-
tory word to each graduate pre-
sented the diploma in the hope
that it was but the initial step
to higher aims, Mr.. Arthur

GAVE HIS NAME TO VEHICLE
Army Doctor First to See Possibilities
Of Blackboard"


There are few persons who know
how the name of blackboard came to
be applied to q vehicle" a y q
writer. 1T vas way back in the
'20s, when the transportation of
goods, wares and merchandise was al
most entirely by wagon. A DR.. Buck
was then in charge of military stores
en- route to army posts in the south
west. In east Tennessee much diff
Guilty was experienced by reason of the
rough roads and there we're frequent
mishaps, mostly from wagons over
turning. DR.. Buck overhauled the
outfit and, abandoning the wagon
bodies, long boards were set directly
on the axles or hung below and the
stores were loaded in such a manne
that there were no further delays from
breakdowns and the stores safely
reached their destinations. In special
emergency, too, the load could be
shifted or taken off in q hurry. DR..
Bucks example was followed, espe-
cially when roads were rough, and
soon much hauling was done by the
use Of wheels, axles and boards only.
Now We have the blackboard, both in
carriage and automobile forms, con
forming closely to the original idea.

Bill Nye and Queen Victoria.

Years ago the late Bill Nye wrote
a cordial and complimentary letter to
Queen Victoria, urging her to come
to America and take part in certain
authors readings in aid of the inter
national copyright movement. The
letter was written primarily for pub
hcation, of course, and in all likeli-
hood never reached the august eye
for which it professed to be intended.
1t filled a newspaper column, however,
and served its purpose as an excellent
bit Of fooling. The writer assured
her majesty of a hearty welcome from
her fellow authors In the United
States, all of whom, he said, had been
greatly impressed, not only by the
merit Of her literary work, but by
he fact that she produced it all at
aight-"after reigning all day on a
hard throne" Throughout the many
years that she continued to reign on
a hard throne" she was an indefatig-
able worker herself and the inspirer
OF industry In others.-Putnam's Mig

A Sad Result.

A St. Louis paper says that
Mrs. August Conrad, widow of the
saloon keeper killed by Jas.
Mclaughlin, whose father resides
in Montgomery county, was adj
judged insane by a jury in the
Clayton Probate Court Monday.
She is a patient in the Female
Hospital. Two Of her children
are in a county orphanage, and
two others one of them born q
few days before the killing Of
Conrad, are being cared for by
her former neighbors.
Her mind was unbalanced by
the shock of her husbands tragic
death, and she first wandered
away from home, then, returning,
barricaded the house until she and
the children we're near starvation.
The saloon keeper is TO be pitt

Their lives are in great danger
from those who embibe too freely.

The bride dropped her hand from
the arm of the bridegroom. She
turned and faced the crowded church
and answered loudly:
mo; he has been unfaithful to me
before marriage. I will not marry
him."
Then the girl ran down the aisle to
her mother. The audience was DUN

what had happened the church officials

The Emblem Of France.

The origin Of the fleur-de-lis is still
an unsettled question. There are many
theories, but no two Of them asree.
One makes the emblem originate with
Clovis l.. andother with Louis VII, an
other with n of the German kings
OF the twelfth century and still an
other with the Romans. All that is
definitely settled is the fact that since
the twelfth century the fieur-de-lis has
been employed as the emblem of
French royalty. The nature of the
emblem is also in dispute. An old
tradition makes 1t the representation
OF the lily given by the angel to
Clovis at his baptism. Another theory
Is that It was adopted by Louis vi.
In allusion to his name. Louis Florus.

about the conditions in Montgom-
