City Accepts New Wells.

The city, by the Water Works Com
m~issioners, today accepted the two
new artesian wells that we've drilled
by Carper & Sons for the new water
plant. The two wells showed greatly
increased strength in the last two
days of the drilling n when com
pleted yesterday, measured a supply
of 5000 gallons per minute. The drill
ing was paid for at a cost of 81 1885,
so, or $547.75 apiece. The eight inch
casing is yet to be paid for in
considering the cost of the wells. The
contract price for the drilling was
$1.75 per foot.

NO CORN IS GIVEN
FOR CRAZY SNAKE

MUsKoGEE, ogla. oct. 1s-For the
first time in many years the fun-blood
Creek Indians have failed this year to
set aside a portion Of their corn crop
to help pay the expenses Of a trip to
Washington for their deposed chief
Crazy Snake.
Crazy Snake is gone. Some say he
Is dead; others that he is living on a
ranch In Oklahoma. The Creeks. who
heretofore have had to contribute corn
each year 20 his exepense fund. are
willing TO drop the question. NO
Crazy Snake, no corn" is the way
they figure It.
The annual visit Of Crazy Snake to
Washington In the interest Of his peo-
pie, was formerly a matter OF great
concern among the Creeks. 1t Is woll
that the Creeks will be able to keen
their entire crop. SO disappointed
were the Indians with the prospects
for corn crop that the annual corn
dance, which has always been held in
the full moon when roasting ears are
ripe. was omitted this year.

UNITED STATES
BEST FED NATION
Not Only in Quantity But in
Quality Of Food
SOME NEW STATISTICS

Uncle Sam has "let out' his belt. He
Is getting fat. Perhaps in sympathy
with President Taft. Perhaps because
no Is making more money.
During the present year the United
States has consumed more food Of ali
classes by far than during 1906. This
Is brought about chiefly by food con-
servation by natural means. Raising
per capita statistics OF the United
States and the biggest countries of
Europe on the consumption of canned
goods, the United States is pointed to
as the best fed Of all nations.
Since the recent finding of Dr. II.
w. Wiley, chief of the Bureau of Chem
istry at Washington, and member of
the Federal Board Of Food and Drug
Inspection, that American canned goods
contain no artificial coloring or pre-
servatives, the impression many had
gained through the agitation against
benzoate of soda has been corrected
and the use Of canned goods has great
.ly increased.
Taking peas, tomatoes and corn as
the three leading vegetables. the stat
istics show that during 1903 America
Will eat close to S00.000,000 cans of
these varieties, while during 1906, 1907
and 1908 the average annual consump-
tion was only about SOC. .O00. 600 cans
Return of prosperity to all classes
in the United States is shown in a
measure by the fact that canned veg
etables are gaining in popularity. Not
only do the figures point out that the
United States leads in he quantity OF
food consumed. but it is also shown
that the sort OF ed'bles now going to
the laboring and middle classes is
above the average in quality.
Relative to the preserved foods
canned products and the like, the in
crease I'm their use in the United
states during recent months is due
to the general spread OF the knowledge
among housewives that chemical pre-
servatives are not employed by the
American Gamers and that steriliza-
tion by heat after the products are
placed in air tight cans is the only
preservation plan in use today.
Thus having confidence in the pur-
ity Of the food it buys. the American
nation IS now consuming a greater
quantity and better quality Of edi-
bles than ever before.

HEARST AND GAYNoR.

q AFTER all, the New York political furore may
4 narrow down to a fight for Mayor be-
tween Justice Gaynor. the Democratic candidate,
and Mr.. Hearst. The compaign is drifting in
that direction Mr. Barnard, the Republican
candidate has not the support of the united
press OF the party. In fact, as the campaign
wears along, he does not seem to be developing
much strength.
II has been planned to have the other candi-
dates on the Fusion ticket appear at the meet
lngs with Hearst Bannard's friends naturally
object They fear this program, if carried out,
would center the fight on the ticket with Hearst
at the head, and Barnard would play an insie-
nihcant part And if the fight narrows down
70 Hearst or Gaynor, many Republicans will I'M
doubtedly support the Tammany candidate
They don't want Hearst for Mayor under any
circumstances.
The Gaynor supporters are endeavoring to
create the impression that it will be a contest
between Hearst and Gaynor. The preliminary
reports, they say, look that way. And il these
prophets are correct, the queer attempt to defeat
Tammany by the strange mixture into which
the fight has resolved itself, will end in a fiasco
with Iammany doing business at the old stand
