Tested Corydon Deep Well.

A pumping test was applied to the
deep we'll Monday afternoon and con-
tinued until about 1 p. m. Tuesday,
when the pump was broken. How
eer, the we'll withstood all tests made
upon it and it seemed as strong at
the end as in the beginning. The
pump was down $50 feet in the hole
and the water was $50 feet from the
top. For over twenty hours contin-
uous pumping at the rate of 20 gal
Ions per minute, it was impossible
to exhaust or to pump the water
down below the reach of the pump.
The last two hours the stroke was in
creased and the output was fully
thirty gallons a minute and still the
we'll seemed perfectly strong.
A sample of the water has been
sent away to the state chemist for
analysis. However, it. is believed
that it contains no substance which
will be detrimental for general pur-
poses. The city, council should be
congratulated upon their success in
obtaining supply Of water. Work
will now be pushed right along on
completing our pumping station and
connecting up the sewers. Corydon

Home Burned.

The residence of Zeal Ausman,
down at Casters lake was totally de-
stroyed by fire about 8 o'clock last
Friday evening. Mr.. Ausman was
working at Sigourney, and Mrs. Aus
man had gone to the home Of John
Axes to spend the night, leaving a
fire in the stove, and it is thought
that the fire started from defective
flue. The flames had such start
when discovered and the house was
so far from town that nothing was
saved from the house, and all Of Mr..
Ausman's household goods and cloth
ing were destroyed. He had $500
insurance on the household goods,
and Roe Caster, who owned the
house, carried an insurance of $500.

Prof. Holden on Retired Farmers

Last Monday was Farmers day
for the people of Clear Lake and vi
cinity. 1t was a farmers program
from early morning until late at
night. Possibly five hundred farm
ers assembled on the exhibition
ground in the morning at nine
o'clock to witness the operation of a
traction engine. The Hart-Parr COM
pany of Charles City and the Inter
national Harester company each had
one on exhibition.
The big attraction of the day was
the presence of G. P. Holden, OF the
AGRICULTURAL college at Ames. He
talked over an hour and the crowd
wanted more and he gave it to them.
He scored preachers of the gospel for
not feeding the people on what they
should have. He believed that they
commenced the wrong way. He de-
clard that to preach corn was more
sensible than to grow angel wings.
Folks didn't care to have angel
wings yet a bit.
And then he told the retired
farmers present that they had made
the mistake of their lives when they
moved to town. They don't make
good citizens in cities because as a
general thing they don't believe in
improvements. They would vote
against every public improvement.
They, didn't want public libraries,
they could get along without sewers
and they were eternally against ev-
erything of that nature. 1t is be-
cause they are trained under a diff
ferent atmosphere. He said they
could live and be respected in their
rural homes but they were not of any
consequence when they moved to
town. He pleaded with them to re-
main on the farm and get at least a
respectable burial.--Decorah Repub-
lican.

NINA EDITOR
IN A MIX-UP
WITH PEPPER
THE ROW MAY HAVE AN AIR
ING IN COURT BEFORE 1T is
DEFINITELY SETTLED.

Sheriff ingalls,, who went TO Nina
Saturday for the purpose Of set
Ting dispute between Thos. Pep
per and j. Holman Buck, Mina's
fighting editor, returned to Cold
field Sunday Yesterday Pepper APP
peared and asked for a warrant
for the arrest of Editor Buck on
peace bond action, asserting that
the editor has agreed that he will
exterminate all of the representa-
tives of the Southern Pacific rail-
road that appear in his sanctum
sanctorum.
1t appears from the story told
by Pepper that he is the Nina rep
resentative Of the Southern Paci-
fic Land company. Another indi-
vidual erected ten houses on the
land company's property, and, when
the townsite matters were adjust
ed the railroad was declared the
owner of property on which the
residence Of J. Holman Buck stood
Pepper, as agent, attempted to
collect $35 yearly rental demanded
| by the company, and asserts that
the Nina editor told him he would
be pleased to shoot up any and al
Southern Pacific representatives tha
came his way in the immediate fu
| ture.
Therefore, Sheriff ingalls, wa
called into action, and Editor Bucl
is alleged to have stated that hi
has no designs on the life of Mr.
| Pepper. However, the latter fail
to see the joke and is now askini
for a peace bond from the news
paper man.
| District Attorney Emmett Walsl
has refused to issue a warrant un
til he has given the matter con
/ sideration until today. In the mean
time Editor Buck is in Nina an
his antagonist is in Goldfield. There
fore no blood will be shed befor
