NEW DREADNAUGHTS
PLANNED FOR NAVY

for two huge battleships will be lald
before congress this winter. The
projected ships are to be Of 30, 900
tons displacement: armed with ten
14-inch rifles, each nearly seventy
feet long; with broad belts Of the
highest type of hardened armor and
with steaming capacity enough to
carry them back and forth across the
Atlantic.
It is in this point of coal endur-

will excel those OF other nations.
Admiral Dewey, head of the naval
general board, has no use for the So

some of the European continental
powers and the general board does
not regard them as meeting the needs
of the American navy, which may be
Obliged TO operate several thousand
miles from home bases.

Charles A. Patterson, young Chi
cagoan, while the couple were walk

Mrs. Patterson. according to her
counsel will plead sef-defense, al
leging that she shot her husband in
the course of quarrel in which he
attempted to take her life. That this
quarrel was over suit for aleniation
of Mrs. Pattersons affections, which
the young husband, It is said, con-
templated bringing against a well
known Chicago millionaire, and that
the killing resulted from Patterson $
refusal to drop the affair, will be the
contention of the state.

tell upon the stand.
She will lay bare, they say, all the
details of her life from the time. as
a girl of sixteen, with her hair down
in braids, she met the Chicago mil
lionaire and the interest which led
him to send her to Paris to be edu-
Gated, resulted five months later IN
relations between them that were
maintained for five years, durlnf
which time, she says, her family anc
friends, as well as the friends OF the
millionaire, believed the couple TO d
man and wife. That after she hat
married Patterson she discovered
that he had been paid $1,000 by the
millionaire to make her his wrie ant
that her married life was one ions
humiliation marked by constant et
forts on the part of Patterson to use
her to wiring money from the mar
with whom she says she had pre-
viously lived This will be told th'

The youth and beauty of the pris

Such a well is all the more dangerous because it is fan cied to be safe Although the water encountered by the deep well may be perfectly pure at the start. contamina- ton may take place almost immedi- ately by the entrance, especially after rains, of seepage water into the open well and thence into the casing of the drilled well. The remedies are obvi- ous. Either the casing should be car ried to the surface of the outside ground, or at least above the highest level ever reached by the water. or the open well should be converted in to a water tight system by applying a thick coating of cement over both sides and bottom.

TAYLOR TALKED ON
 DRY LAND FARMING

The following proceedings at the dry farming congress az Colorado Springs will be of general interest:
 Dr. w. E. Taylor of Moline, H.. dis cussed the question of "Tillage Meth ods in Soil Building" His address was principally a discussion of the various implements of especial value in dry land farming and of the meth ods by which they should be used He laid especial stress on the value of the sub-soil blow for stirring the soil to greater depths than are usually reached by the blow. This instru- ment is coming into quite general use of late years as valuable aid to dry farming.
 He spoke hopefully of the future. The day is not far distant" he said, when all of our western lands where ten or more inches of rain falls an nually will produce food in abund- ance for man and beast. The princi- pies of dry land farming are applica- ble to any section of the United States, and when all farmers adapt the same thorough methods of tillage that the dry land farmers are obliged to, the increase in production will be far greater than the increase in popu- lation"
 The first and most important prob lem we have to face in western Amer lca IS to increase the average depth of blowing" said F.. R. Parsons of Parker. Colo. in discussion of meth ods of accommodating moisture in the sub-soil. Considerable interest in this matter has been aroused by the corn contests of the south, all the winners being deep blowers, as much as 200 bushels per acre having been raised by blowing 20 inches and fer

GEOLOGICAL SURVEY
 ISSUES A WARNING

The following report of the geologi- cal survey on the subject of wells, which is rather in the nature of a warning. will be of interest to every one interested in the subject of health preservation:
 Almost any community in which wells have been drilled can boast of a number of combination dug and drilled wells. The owners congratu- late themselves on their wisdom in utilizing an old dug well fifteen, twen- ty or thirty feet in depth. and drilling through the bottom of this to a good flow of deep water. The cost of drill ing that twenty or thirty feet has been saved, certainly an economy worth considering. As a matter of fact, this combined dug and drilled well is a particularly dangerous type. It may readily breed malarial fever or even typhoid fever which is more prevalent
