PELLETTE CASE.
Big Crowd Attended Hear
ing Before Probate Judge
Campbell.

h. +. Pellette, the Osteopath,
was arrested Monday on the COM
plant of one of his neighbors, on
charge of cruelty whipping his
nine months old baby. Neighbors
who live near the Pellette home in
the northwest part of the city,
heard the child's cries several
times Sunday, and made the COM
plant Monday morning. Justice
u. @. Wood fixed the bond at 5000
the date for the preliminary hear
ing was fixed for August 25. On
Tuesday, a probation officer, H.
w. Lane, was appointed to take
charge of the child. He could not
locate Mrs. Pellette or the child,
Paul, as they had gone to her par
ents at Pratt, on Tuesday, but she
arrived in Liberal Wednesday
night on No. 8. At 10 O'Clock
Thursday morning, before Pro-
bate Judge j, W. Campbell, who
is also Judge of the Juve lille
court, the hearing was held. The
state charged that the child was
neglected and abused. and this
hearing was to investigate the
condition of the child, and decide
whether the baby was to be placed
in the charge of probationary
officer or left with the parents.
The defense entered a demur which
was overruled and then asked for
a continuance on the ground that
they had not had sufficient time to
prepare the case. The request for
continuance was denied.
DOCTORS TESTIFY
The court then appointed DIR. A.
L. Knisely and DR.. Geo. s. Smith |
to examine the child, and report
to the conrt. While this vas go
ing on, the witnesses were instruct
ed to leave the room and were not
permitted to hear the testimony
nor to discuss the case.
DR.. Smith was called to the
stand,

Artesian Wells
U. s. Geologist Visits This
Territory to Investigate
Condition

In the big Mitchell Six, with
Cnas. Ellsaesser at the wheel, Q.
E. Woods, DIR. r. 7. Nichols, j.
w. Baughman, G. q. Eddy and
0, E. Meinzer of the U. S. Geo
logical Survey drove to Hooker
Friday to see the drilling of the
artesian we'll at that point. After
several hours with the drillers, the
party drove to Hugoton, where Mr.
Meinzer was taken in tow by the
Hugoton boosters, and taken to
Rich6eld the following daV. He
returned to Liberal Sunday, and
from his statement the following
account was written.
THE HOOKER WELL
The formation from the surface
to depth of $50 #. consists of
beds of clay and sand, such as are
encountered in drilling ordinary
wells in this section of the country.
These beds of clay and sand are
known by geologists as Tertiary
deposits. The first water was
struck at a depth of 1870 #. and
the drill passed through seven
other beds Of water bearing gravel
between 1870 #. and $50 fl. The
drill then struck what is known as
the Red Beds, which consist of
red clay and shale, and at a depth
of $40 it,, four foot layer of
gypsum was encountered. There
is apparently no Dakota sand
stone at Hooker for if this forrna.
tion were present it would lie be.
tween the Tertiary deposits and
the Red Beds. Farther north in
this state and in Nebraska and
South Dakota, the Dakota sand
stone occurs and yields many
strong flowing wells, but if any
flow is struck in Hooker, it must
come from the Red Beds or some
lower formation.
Thursday morning, a subscrip-
tion paper was started in Hooker,
to continue the drilling, Wednes-
day, Aug. 16, the drillers had
gone down 920 feet, the depth re-
qulred by the state contract and
the citizens by popular subscrip-
tion are going to drill as much
deeper as is possible. Before noon,
Thursday, $500 had been raised
and indications are that the amount
will reach the $4,000 mark. Mr..
Eckes over long distance phone
said they we're now drilling in a
formation of gypsum and sand
rock at depth of 1000 feet.

THE RIcHFIELD WELLS

|
The two wells drilled at Rich
field by E. G, Wilson and e. w.
Dean show that the formations un-
derlying the town of Richfeld and
the territory two miles soath (the
location of the second welD are
identical. The first sheet water
was struck at depth of go feet.
The next 100 it. consisted of alter
mating layers Of clay and water
bearing gravel. From 100 to 26O
#. down, there were alternating
beds of red and yellow clay. The
drillers then struck the Red Beds,
similar to those at Hooker, and
shown in the geological survey to
be underlying this entire south
west lection of the state. At a
deDth of 585 it,, in the Red Beds,
was q hard layer of cap rock, a
variety of hard sandstone. This
layer of rock was not Dakota
sandstone as has been reported,
but just below this strata of hard
rock, five feet thick, was the ar
tesian water, at depth of 500 #.
In one of the wells, from $40 IT,,
drilling was continued down for
depth of 130 it,, but showed merely
that the arteslan water was foundin in
the Red Beds, which is rather un-
usual.
RlcHFIELD ARTESIAN WATER
An analysis Of the water from
each of the Richfeld wells has
been made by Q. .. Young, the
state water analyst, at Lawrence,
and the samples are almost iden-
tical. There is considerable gyp-
sum in the water from both wells,
which is usually found in water
from the Red Beds. The effect
of this water is bad for boiler use
as it is so hard that scales form on
the side of the boiler. 1t is very
hard for domestic purposes, and
does not lather easily. Z b Q 4
analysis also shows the presence
of Epson salts and Glauber salts,
making it a mild laxative. The
water carries q moderate amount
of dissolved limestone. However.
the presence Of these chemicals
does not lessen the value of the
water for irrigating purposes.
There is practically no common
salt or alkali in the water, and
these are the two properties which
would injure the water for irriga-
tion purposes.
In conclusion, Mr.. Meinzer said:
The underground formations at
RichGeld, Hugoton, Hooker and
are probably about the
same. The first few hundred feet
below the surface the material

the search light of public opinion upon
him and he will be confounded.
In this connection. l do not desire
to criticize the schools. but it does
strike me that while we are learning
about Abyssinia and the Cannibals of
the Malay Peninsula. it might be we'll.
it certainly is more important that We
should teach our children the value of
money in purchasing the things they
have to wear and eat. a good working
knowledge of how to buy and how to
sell and what We get on the market
and stores and how to get it is prac-
tical lesson that should be taught in
the public school.
Finally. gentlemen, We must remem-

tent, that the editorial pen may be
ready for use, that the fight may seem
to be lost, but tina: if We can only rally

known, honest dealers, by showing
your discrimination in buying of the
men who deals fairly with you. You
will not only be assured of getting
full weight yourself but you will be
branded the dishonest merchant be-
fore the public as unworthy of trade.
Use The Big Stick.
Second: This is a club that can be
used at all times and by everyone and
If used rightly. it will not be long be-
fore that merchant finding his trade
leaving him will throw away his dis
honest scales and give full weight in
order to retain the confidence of his
customers.
Value Of Bureau.
Third: Every municipality where
there is market place or where there
is a necessity for action should have
established weight and measure bu-
reau with an efficient officer in charge
of the bureau, and just as important
ample authority to act. There is only
one way to stop this systematic dis
honest dealing is by putting on its
trail systematic organization to stop
it, Unorganized effort cannot succeed
against organized wrong and an organ
ized efficient bureau in your city will
work a wonderful change.
Power Of the Press.
Fourth: In this connection. l wish
to call your attention to the most pow
erful weapon against dishonest deal
ing and that is the active, continuous
assistance of the public press of your
city, the editorial pen can wipe out
this wrong in thirty days, and put
these thieves to flight by exposure
through the editorial columns and dis
play write-ups of this grievous wrong
II have no doubt upon knowing the
character of your public press in this
city but that they will lend every aif
to any honest officer that might be
placed in charge of your bureau.
Watch the Scales.
/ Fifth: Again, in making your pur
chases do not allow the oily tongue o
the merchant to cause your eyes tt
lose sight of the scales. The dishones

merchant will often have an interest
ing flow of conversation attracting
, your attention in such a manner as to
lose sight of the fact that Is ounces
make a pound. If the conversation
takes place before the purchase you
are out ounces, and my advice is al
ways do your talking after you get
your goods.
Do Your Own Marketing.
Sixth: Do not be ashamed to do
your own purchasing, getting goods by
messenger or marketing by telephone
is good invitation to the dishonest
merchant to short-weight you or over
charge you. Go to market and get the
goods yourself-the exercise will do
you good. The personal purchase re-
duces the opportunity of the dishonest
merchant to the last degree
Take Time to Shop.
! Seventh: This is a business trans
action, in which you pay for something
you order and are entitled to get it.
! DO not hesitate for a moment to call
his attention to crooked scales, short
weights or bad commodities, always
remember that he is as anxious to sell
as you are to buy and if he knows that
you know that he is dishonest and
knows that you are watching him, he
will be compelled to treat you square,
else the man next door will get your
trade and h. will be without a Gus
toner. Eternal vigilance not only is
the price of liberty, but it is the price
you have to pay to get a square deal
from the dishonest merchant. Another
important thing is the dishonest mer-
chant takes advantage not only of you
personally but all various little de-

But the Plucky Southern Woman Was
In Deadly Earnest.
During his Virginia campaign Gen

to encamp some Of his troops on the
beautiful property of a Mrs. Stouton
and also to take room in the house
for his own accommodation. He did
so, however, with great tact and
gentleness, quite winning the heart Of
the estimable lady. AS he prepared to
depart he turned to her.
Now, Mrs. Stouton, we've enjoyed
your hospitality very much, and I'm
prepared to pay the BILL" said Grant.
She protested, but the general assur-
ed her that It was business transac-
ton and she was entitled to fair com
pensation for the supplies they had
consumed and the comfort they had
enjoyed. She named the amount, and
then the general said, with n roguish
twinkle in the eye:
"Now, Mrs. Stouton, would you like
1t in United States banknotes or In
Confederate money!
She pressed her lips together, her
eyes flashed fire, and without a mo-
ments hesitation she said:
"In Confederate money"
Grant looked at her with admira-
ton.

IT was not" she quickly interrupted.

And Grant, with his eyes full Of nd

woman, paid her in Confederate
money.--Lades' Home Journal.
