Well DriIIers Think They
Have Struck Lost River
Special to the Telegraph

Orleans, Ind, June 9. - Drillers en-
gagged In sinking wells for the new
water works system struck a powerful
stream of water at a depth of thirty
feet.
1t is believed the men drilled into a
branch of the historic Lost river or an
underground cavern. The roar of the
flowing water can be plainly heard for
some distance. and despite the fact that
it is only 100 feet from another well,
which is 113 feet deep and through solid
rock for more than ninety feet, the
water appears to be of the same quality
and flavor as the deep well. The phe-
nomenon is creating much excitement.

All folks are not fortunately

trait Of economy.
The virtue. when inherent,
however, does not always argue
its possessor practices this
qualification as a matter of
necessity, rather than as a
matter of choice. Some of the
richest people in every COM
munity are the greatest econ
omists; not through the stress
of necessity, but through an in

son in many cases, no doubt,
why they are rich, why they
