ARTES|AN WELL
DISAPPO|NTS

Drilling on the second artesian
well was completed yesterday. The
second well flows about 20 gallons
per minute which is about a third of.
what the first we'll flows. The well
is a disappointment to the commits
sioners although ii may develop
large flow if put under the pumping
or syphon test. The engineer be-
lieves that with a hundred foot lift
the quantity of which can be taken
from the well will about equal that
of No. l
If it requires more than a hundred
foot lift the well will probably be
abandoned as the cost of getting the
water would be prohibitive. Water
was struck at a depth of sos feet and
the drilling was continued to a depth
of ST3 feet. The fact that the water
will raise to the heighth which it does
is convincing to the engineer that
there is considerable water below the
city but as all attempts to get it out
have proven disappointing unless
better results are given i'm more thor
ough tests, it is hardly likely that
more wells will be drilled
1t was suggested this morning to
the commissioners that a well be
drilled in the city park for drinking
purposes but this is only one of the
many talked of propositions to obtain
pure drinking water for the city.
At the council meeting last night
it was discussed as to whether or not
it would pay to pipe the water from
well No I to the Fifth street park
but no definite action was taken in
regard to this although it is probably
that something of the nature may be
done.
The second well was drilled at a
considerable less expense than was
the first as they were able to profit
by the log of No. 1 and did not go as
deep. Their experience in the first
well was that the flow did not in
crease in the last two hundred and
fifty feet consequently the saving by
not going below the water mark was
several hundred dollars.
What disposition will be made with
we'll No. has not been decided and
cannot be until tests of various nature
have been made. The quality of the
water of No. is better than No. | as
it does not have the slight mineral
| taste which was doubtless acquired
| after the water level was passed
All of the drill men are still in the
city and the work of tearing down the
derrick has not as yet begun.

she has found him out in time, boo

The mans cue at this point is to
grab his ring and his hat and beat it
from that immediate vicinity, and
when he gets a meek and apologize
note from Mamie or Sadie the next
day. to reply with dignity that he
fears he never could be happy with a
wife that didn't trust him.
Two other effective ways of killing
love are either to starve it to death,
or to Stay it by overlooking. If you
are entangled with girl of whom
you are weary, neglect her. Don't go
to see her. Cut out the flowers and
the candy. Make engagements and
break them, or else keep her waiting
when you have appointments with her
If she has got a drop of sporting blood
in her veins, this will rouse it, and she
will set you on your road to freedom
with a bump that will loosen every
tooth in your head
If, however, she is one of the meek
and long-suffering kind who has no
spirit or backbone, your best plan is
just to give her overdoses of your so,
ciety. Hang around the house. Be
there for every meal. Monopolize her
wherever she goes and keep every
body away from her, and the chances
are that she will get so sick and tired
of you that she will fee at your ap-
proach.
