eraVagant. and always in debt.
and Just now is in deep water for wan. W
a few guineas with which to buy a new
gown by whose aid she hopes TO wl Inst pa bS

TIE NEW CITY WELL, 724I5
FEET, ACCEPTED BY COUNCIL

At an adjourned meeting of the
Board of Aldermen Tuesday night
1t was decided to accept the new
waterworks well AT the depth now
reached, 724I1 feet, and the contract
ors were paid Off. The amount paid
the contractors was 81 ,l73 30-the
total cost being about $500. Tests
show "a standing depth of 100 feet of
water and flow Of between So and
60 gallons u minute without lower
ing the water IN the well. 1t was
obtain larger flow should be made,
but rs the well now penetrates the
granite formation 52% feet, this
could not be done without boring
through the granite, the thickness
of which there Is no way of comput-
ing, but from the general Surround
ing geoloical formation it may be
1000 or even 5000 feet, and then
only possibility that an increased
water flow would be obtained. For
these reasons 1t was finally decided
not to 90 deeper.
The new well il now supplying the
city with all the water needed, the
other two wells not being worked
In fact there is but one pump with
which to operate the wells and it
has been installed in the new WELL
The city should by all means equip
the other two wells, or at least one
of them, with IA pump, for II 1t should
be desirable or become necessary to
shift this pump from one we'll to
another, ii would take at least "A
hours 10 make the change, aud il an
emergency demand should be made
upon stand-pipe while this was be.
ing done, it might not be able to
supply the water needed; or If any
breakage of any part Of the pump
should occur the city might be lett
without water until the damage
could he repaired. All such things
should be guarded against, and IL
looks to us that the wise thing to do
would be TO equip at least one of the
other wells with good pump.

BROAD DAYLIGHT HoLD-UP
SAM Doss BAGS ROBBERS

Last Tuesday morning n bold hold
up and robbery was pulled Off in the
Lead Belt by two young candidates
for the penitent;ary-James Estes
and J. l.. Dunlap. Monday was
pay day for the mines, ano j. II.
Mason, merchant of Mitchell
sent one of his employees, Joseph
Seaborn, to Desloge to get money
from the bank with which to cash
miners checks that We're brought to
his store. Seaborn started back
with $3.50 and at n lonely spot be-
tween Gumbo and Mitchell, two
highwaymen suddenly ordered him
to throw up his hands. They re-
lieved him of the money and made
their escape through the woods
Seaborn gave the alarm as soon as
he could get back to Desloge, and
Deputy Sheriffs Sam Doss and Hib.
bits at once struck out on n hot
trail, each going in different direc-
tons. DOss may have had some
suspicion OF who the bandits were,
for he went straight to Leadwood,
fell upon his men at their boarding
house, and the jig was up with them.
Sam got the two young men and all
but Sl5 of the money, which they
had spent, restoring the money to
its rightful owner aud notifying
Sheriff Williams, who went over in
his auto and brought Estes and
Dunlap to Pennington, where they
were lodged in jail to mediate over
their career as bold, bad bandits.

SAM poss PREACHING.

A good subscriber of The Times
who lives near Desloge, tells us that
Sam Doss, whose reputation In that
vicinity and pretty well all over the
county as "bad man, is well
known, has got religion and gone to
preaching. He says he has given
up all his wild ways, wouldn't hurt
anybody and has kind telling for
everybody. Some one who didn' I
have much confidence in his conver-
-iou told rim he was just trying to
,ooi somebody, to which he replied
,nGt "the devil thought he had me,
and I'M going to fool him.

Presbyterian Church at this place
has extended n call To the pastorate,
arrived in Pennington last Friday
to look over the situation, and
preached at the Presbyterian Chnrch

Bailey Of the Christian Church,
who was to have delivered the ser.

IN the evening, extended au invita-
tiOn to Rev. DuBose to preach in
his stead, which was graciously ac-
ceptcd. The congregation in the
evening was large, all the evangeli-
cal churches Of the town being well
represented, and Rev. DuBose gave
them II discourse that at once at
tractod their attention and touched
their spiritual natures. He is n
forceful, pleasant and refined speak
er, and impresses one with his quiet
zeal and sincerity. He will preach
again at the Presbyterian Church
next Sunday morning, when the
question of his accepting the call
will probably be settled. He is IA
vorably impressed with our town,
ana the Presbyterian congregation
Is very hopeful that he will decide
to come here.

GOOD SAMARITANS.

Last Sunday morning couple of
young men from Primrose Church
neighborhood drove up to the jail In
Pennington and asked for Mr..
Adams, the Deputy Sheriff who has
charge OF that institution. On his
appearance they informed him that
they had Bible that had been
bought to be presented to the Jail
for the use of the inmates who
might be disposed or induced to read
it. The young men gave their names
as Douglass and Moon, but Mr..
Adams neglected to ask their first
names. They were apparently about
eighteen or twenty years OF age,
and their Christian mission Is to be
commended and was very much ap'
preciated by Mr.. Adams.

One of the saddest features
today witnessed by the think
ing public, working untold in
Jury to our boys and girls,
young men and women, Is the
fact that not 10 per cent of our
high school and literary cal
lege graduates, from year to
year, pursue a Business Col
lege Course. Is 1t not a fact
that the Superintendents and
Principals of these schools do
not advise these graduates to
get business educationP II
so, is it not time for serious
reflection Think of the finan.
cial failures and the unsatis
factory experiences of these
young people in after years
Think this over.

MEXICAN SITUATION
ALARMS WASHINGTON
President Calls Special Cabinet
Meeting to Consider
Plans

Washington.-After prolonged
cabinet session Secretary of State
Knox was directed by President Taft
to reply to the request of Francisco /.
Madero of Mexico for definite state
men, of the policy of the United States
toward Mexico.
Upon leaving the White House Sec
rotary Knox reiterated that interven-
ton was not now contemplated nor
would there be any change in the
naval or military plans relating to
Mexico.
The report from Mexico City that
the armistice had been declared off
and that hostilities had been resumed
caused intense interest among the
cabinet officers.
Despite the alarming information
that has continued to come into Wash
ington for the last few days, not a
member Of the presidents cabinet IA
vored intervention when summoned to
the meeting.
The strictest censorship on all dis
patches has been established in Mex
leo City.
Government officials took charge of
the cable offices and discarded mes
sages of correspondents to their pa
pers.
The president was plainly disturbed
to learn that communication between
Mexico and the United States was pre-
carious and that an APPARENTLY strict
censorship had been instituted by
Mexican authorities. His fear has
been that such a condition might arise
and that Americans in Mexico City
might find themselves facing situa-
ton like that which existed in Pekin
at the time of the Boxer rebellion.

ARMISTICE IS SOON BROKEN
Heavy Firing Soon Announces Return
Of Troops to Post


Of Troops to Post
Mexico City-Hostilitie were re-
sumed with renewed fierceness after
a truce which lasted only few hours.
The armistice signed at 2 o'clock
Sunday morning by the representa-
tives of both sides, agreeing to sus-
pend operations for "a hours, was bro
ken before noon. Soon sounds of
heavy cannonading and the whirr of
machine guns announced the return
of the federal troops to their posts in
front of the arsenal 1t appeared as If
the words of Madero and Diaz might
prove prophetic and that this time
the battle should be to finish.
President Madero reiterated his re-
fusal to comply with the suggestion of
the senator's that he resign. He de-
clared that he still was able to domin-
ate the situation and that, if given
time, he would crush the rebel forces.
General Diaz had not shown himself
to be greatly in favor of the armistice.
He consented to 1t out of respect for
the efforts of the American ambassa-
dor and the ministers Of the powers
to bring about cessation Of hostili-
ties until foreigners and other non.
combatants within the zone of the
fighting could be removed to posi-
ton of comparative safety.
There is little actual suffering from
