The Artesian Water Supply Of Iowa.

will first be discussed
Ever since the formation of that
portion of the American continent
which now comprises the states of
Minnesota, Wisconsin, Iowa, Illinois
and Missouri, the present conditions
relative to artesian waters in Iowa
have existed.
Over large areas in southern Mime.

the outcropping portions of the st.
Peter and st Croix sandstones. A con-
siderable portion of the rainfall oyer
IA, 500 square miles of these exposures
has for centuries, and ages of cent
uries, percolated into these layers of
sandstone, completely saturating them
throughout their entire extent and
thus forming an immense reservoir of
the purest of water. This great alb
sorbing area becomes the fountain
head for the artesian waters of the
states lying toward the south.
Dipping deeper and deeper beneath
the surface as those sandstones
spread out under Iowa, Illinois and
Missouri, they are reached by the drill
at depths varying from a few hundred
feet to three thousand feet and more.
and usually give satisfactory flows of
water wherever reached.
There are now more than one hun
dred artesian wells in Iowa, many of
them reaching to the deeper sandstones
while others penetrate water bearing
strata far above them. At Fort Dodge
we have wells of both types, the deep
and shallow artesian wells. The deep

depth of / 300 feet while two other

The Water Supply Of Iowa.

Because of it's timeliness it is i'm
portant just now to discuss the water
supply of Iowa and particularly the
water supply of cities and towns.
There is no one thing of more far
reaching and pressing Importance than
pure water supply both for the indi-
vidual home and for the municipality.
Two deadly diseases, in particul IT,
one of them fortunately rare in Iowa,
are strictly water borne diseases.
Typhoid fever destroys the lives of
more than 500 people in Iowa each
year and five thousand other persons
fall i'll with it. 1t entails money
loss of not less than two million dollars
annually to the state.
Typhoid fever is by all odds the
most frequent water borne disease III
America.
Cholera, which fortunately is rare
with us, is likewise nearly always
water borne in character.
The potable water supply of Iowa is
derived from the following sources:
Shallow wells,
Springs,
Rivers and Streams,
Rainfall,
Artesian wells.-Lakes.
Since the last of these, the artesian
well, furnishes the highest standard
of purity of water, and for this reason
is most desirable whenever attainable.

BREAKS DOWN UNDER

Mrs. Amanda Koch Creates a
Scene During Trial of
Baby Substitution Case.
OWN SECRET REVEALED
Shrieks and Means Heard
Throughout the San Fran
cisco Courthouse.

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 16.-Mrs-
Amanda Koch, one of the chief wit
nesses against Lieutenant Charles Rey-
nard Slingsby and his wife in the
famous "Slingsby baby substitution
case, which involves an inheritance,
abruptly interrupted the taking of dep
ositions today when she broke down
under cross examination, became bys
ter;cal and was taken violently i'll.
The hearings began this morning in
the Office Of British Vice Consul Doug
las Young. acting as commissioner
for the court of chancery OF England,
Mrs Koch s hysteria caused the post
ponement of the case at noon today,
but she will probably be placed upon
the stand again tomorrow.
Her Past Revealed.
As a warm friend Of Mrs. Hattie
Blain, at whose home Mrs. Slingsby
Koch was testifying today that no
child was born to the lieutenant 3
wife there in the fall of 1910. This
rs also expected to be the contention
of Mrs. Blain when she is placed upon
the stand, The three-year-old son,
which Mrs Slingsby claims was born
at that time. is now offered as the
legitimate son Of Lieutenant Slingsby
and the rightful heir to the million
dollar estate bequeathed by the late
Rev, Charles Sliugsby Of Yorkshire,
and now enjoyed by the lieutenant.
When Attorney Oliver Dibble, repre-
sentinP the Slingsbys, took the witness
after Attorney Andrew Thorne. for
the prosecution, had completed his
questions, Mrs. Koch answered Dibble' S
questions haltinglv. She appeared
nervous, and had scarcely started be-
fore she made an inadvertent statement
as to her own conduct, which caused
painful scene
Shrieked and MOaned.
The information divulged is said TO
have been known by the Slingsbys for
some time, but had not been revealed
previously. Mrs. Koch collapsed, and
her shrieks and means were heard
throughout the building. The testi-
mony, however, was not relcvent to
the case.
Mrs. Blain, sitting in the anteroom,
heard her friend s cries and rushed
into the witness room. Apparently
guessing that Mrs. Koch s secret was
out, she went to Mrs. Koch and min
istered to her, after directing several
sharp words at Mrs. Slingsby.
The breakdown of the witness for
the members of the Slingsby family,
who are contesting the claims of the
baby boy, ended the taking Of doposi-
tions for the day. 1t is doubtful what
the next movement will be.
Hearing is being held in private.
Charles Eugene Edward Slingsby, the
'Slingsby baby involved in the case,
was not present TODAY.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 16.-Renewing
his efforts to speed up the currency
bill and obtain legislation at this ses-
sion, President Wilson today sent for
Senators O'GOrman, Reed and Hitch
cock, the Democ ratio recalcitrants On
the committee. The conference gave
no indications that these senators had
been dissuaded from their position of
demanding full hearings and careful
consideration in committee before re-
porting the measure to the senate.
All agreed when they discussed the
conference impersonally with their col
leagues later in the day that the presi-
dent was pleasant and cordial. They
fostered the impression that all he
wanted was TO understand the situa-
tion and urge senators to make as much
haste as possible. 1t was stated that
he made no attempt to designate any
specific date by which action must be
had, but that, on the contrary, he
seemed TO realize the conditions in the
senate, and is now willing to give to
senators the same right Of exercise Of
their opinions as he maintained for
himself

Meeting in Chicago.

noon, the delegates returning to
their homes on late afternoon
trains. One of the last duties of
the convention was the election of del
egates TO the biennial meeting of the
general federation in Chicago, June Il
to 10, 1914. Those selected were Mrs.
J. w. Arid of Provo, Mrs, Elizabeth NJ.
Cohen OF Salt Lake. Mrs. i, B. Porter
of Ogden and Mrs. Ira b. Travis of
Salt Lake. The alternntes were Mrs.
Gould b. Blakelv of Salt Lake, Miss
Mary Shields OF Park City, Mrs. +. w.
Dunn of Park City and Mrs. j, It, Be
less of Salt Lake.
The sum of $1,000 was voted AS an
endowment fund for the state fedora
tion for the purpose of sending the fed
Grafton officers to different parts of the
state when their services are needed to
help individual clubs The money is to
be raised in two years, on the basis of
90 cents per capita of members of the
federation.
One of the most interesting features
of federation programme is the open
parliament, which comes on the last
day of the convention. Its popularity
is presumably due to the fact that all
of the delegates get an opportunity of
exercising n woman s privilege of talk
ing. The parliament this morning was
conducted by Miss Gertrude McCheyne
of Logan

Will Take Time.

AS he left the White house, Senator
Hitchcock said that, while everybody
wanted legislation as soon as possible,
the magnitude Of the subject was such
that it could not be considered i'll ad-
visedly or rushed through either the
committee or The senate, Referring to
the president IS wish for speedy legisla-
tion, Mr.. Hitchcock said:
"I do not want the administration 's
programme to be sacrificed and, on
the other hand, l do not want to see
the merits Of this bill sacrificed. Even
if we get report the first week in No
vember, which would be two weeks aft
er the hearings closed, there would be
great difficulty in getting quick action
on the floor OF the senate.'
Mr.. Hitchcock refused TO name any
date for the report on the bill, but in
dicated that it would take some time
to prepare all the amendments that
would be written into the measure.

Amendments Necessary.

"Some of these amendments will be
radcal,'' continued Senator Hitchcock.
"Many others are of minor character.
An expert has gone over the bill for
Chairman Owen and has reported over
300 amendments TO be necessary. OF
course, many Of these relate simply to
verbiage.
Senator Hitchcock frankly admitted
that he saw no prospects OF passing the
bill at this session Of congress Sena-
tor Reed declined to discuss his talk
with the president. The three Demo-
cratic members of the committee were
talked to separately. Senator O'Gor-
man was the last visitor. He, too, do.

views of the New York senator con,
cerning amendments he believes 10 be

Edward D. Fisher, deputy comptrol-
Ter OF the city of New York, submitted
