The reason why two prisoners IN the

to enlist in the regular army, and the
reason why they are not wanted in the
army is set out in the following corr

FoRTY.EIGAT HOURS OF coNTlN.
Uous PUMPING FAILS TO Low

Water Clear as Crystal, Free Of sedi-
ment, and coId-SampIe to Be Sent
to Get Observation-Disclosures
Madsen Estimates Well VIII! Furnish
Half Million Gallons Per Day.

A forty-eight hour continuous test,
ending early this afternoon, furnished
fairly good proof that the city has
found an inexhaustible supply of water
in the new deep well. AS far as can
be judged by appearance and taste,
without an analysis having been made,
the water is crystal clear and cold
Councilman John I. Bell. head of the
water department, is naturally jubilant
over the success Of the test. A sample
of the water was taken this afternoon
and will be sent to be analysed.
Water Gains Under Test.
Early Saturday afternoon a large
pump with a capacity of delivering
10000 gallons per, twenty-four hours
was attached to the well and has becn
working to capacity ever since then
except for few minutes Sunday. Al
ter twenty four hours pumping the
water stood in the casing eight inches
higher than when the test was begun.
Today the water level in the pipe was
about the same as sunday. The pump
ing will be continued for probably a
day or two longer to establish fully
that the supply is unlimited. 1t Is
the opinion of Superintendent Madsen
of the pumping station, that the test
well, which mas six-inch casing, Will
furnish half a million gallons every
twenty four hours. That is about one
quarter of the consumption in the city
per day.
The well is 1872 feet deep, and the
water stood to within thirteen feet OF
the top Of the casing when the pumping
test was begun. The high level OF the
water indicates that the source of the
supply IS high, or that the water IS
held in the gravel stratum under pres
sure The gravel brought up from the
bottom of the well is about the size OF
a large pea.

ANSONS WIN SATURDAY.
Defeat Charles City Team II to q in
Second Game of Series.

Special to Times publican.
Charles City. July 30.-The Ansons
took the middle game of their series
with the TractoriteS here Saturday by
a score of II to 4, and winning two
straight games here. The game was
pretty much one-sided as the visitors
scored seven Of their runs in the first
stanza.
heiScr started the pitching for the
Tractorities and showed poor control.
He allowed five hits and two free
passes in the first inning. which melted
his opponents a total of seven runs.
Fuhr, the big southpaw, was on the
mound for the Ansons and got himself
in several bad places, but was pulled
out each time by excellent support of
his teammates. He allowed the Trac-
tories a total of eleven safeties, gave
two free trips to first, and 'beaned"
two.
Payton went in at the beginning of
the second inning and finished.
The game was loosely played, a total
of five errors being registered against
the two teams. The Tractorites seemed
to lose all hope after their opponents
had gained their seven-run lead in the
first inning. The score:

Boyle Gets New Pitcher,

Pitcher Fuhr, late of the Hannibal
Three l league club, has joined the
champions. F'uhr was signed a week
ago. but did not resport to Boyle until
Saturday, when he joined the club at
Charles City. Illness had prevented
Fuhr from reporting before He was
sent to the slab in Saturdays game
winning by score of II to 4. He al
lowed eleven hits. gave four passes,
and struck out five The excessive heat
handicapped the pitchers and the game
was slugfest., Fuhr secured three hits
IN four times at bat. He is a southpaw
and has shown up well in the Three
|, where he won nine games and lost
two this season. No word has come
from Boyle as to who will be released,
but one Of the Arson pitchers undoubt-
edly will be given his passport.

At the Colonial,

Many attended the pictorial talk in
the Colonial Sunday night of one Of
the thirteen survivors OF the Princess
Pat regiment of Canadian troops, which
went into the war with 1000 men. His
verbal and Photographic pictures Of
many of the scenes and actions he was
fighting in the trenches in France are
full of interest. There are things seen
that have not been presented before
in this city.
A battle high in air between Ger
man taube and French airplane, later
reinforced by a small fleet, is realistic.
1t gives an admirable birds eye view
Of the whole wide terrain Work of the
hydro airplanes and torpedo submarine
chasers off the French coast is visual
lied well.
Sergeant Hanley, whose home is in
Moosejaw, in the Canadian northwest,
talks we'll and keeps his hearers with
him. He shows particularly just how
bombs are made and thrown, the gren-
adler often lighting the fatal little mes
sage with his cigaret.
The final thought of the spectator is
that one man has just very limited
part in the war, doing his bit at his
small loophole in trench and doing
1t not hurriedly, yet precisely and
promptly. The trenches are shown in
detail in their labyrinthine threads Of
life that are complete as those of a
city. And the firing Of the big mortars
and field cannon is very deliberative
act.
The pictures reproduce the war just
as seen where the sergeant worked and
German prison camp in back of the
French lines is reproduced wildly.
Hanley's talk is modest and illumin-
ativs

Marshalltown and Waterloo Plan
EIGHT Game Post Season Series,


If the Central Association suspends
Aug. it is likely that an eight-game
series between Marshalltown and Wa
terloo will be played, four games to be
contested in this city and four at Wa
terloo. According to present plans the
first four games will be played at Wa
terloo, beginning about Thursday, Aug.
., and continuing to Monday, Aug. ..
tn, ONE series probably would be
played on Thursday, Friday, Saturday
and Sunday Aug. g, 10, and II.
Should the series result in each team
winning four games ninth game
would be played to determine the win
ner Of the series.
A challenge has been received from
Waterloo, the Loon fans not being fully
convinced that the champions have the
better team. The Waterlooans believe
that their team is coming fast and that
it now is in line for the championship
of the second half of the season, should
the league continue thru to Labor day.
Waterloo has been obliged to make
some changes recently and the club. is
expected to show improved strength
this week. Shifts which will strengthen
VIC oiS AL PioSi COS anu dil auu-
ed pitcher or two are expected greatly
to improve the club. At present Water
loo is working with two regular pitch
ers and Bling" Miller is taking his turn
in the box.
While the series would have no bear
ing on the championship every game
would be played for as tho the pennant
depended on it, as Waterloo has been
humbled SO often this year by the local
team that they are out for revenge and
desire to prove that the Looms are the
best aggregation on the circuit.

FIVE DUMMIES DESERT.
Manager Ryan and Four Players Re-
fuse to Remain With Orphaned Club,

Manager Ryan and four of his men
deserted the Cedar Rapids club Satur-
day at Waterloo, returning to Cedar
Rapids preparatory to going to their
several homes. The majority of the
Rabbit players agreed to continue with
the club, now under the direction Of
the league, but as only eight men were
present to answer roll call Saturday
afternoon it was necessary for Tenn
porary Manager Harry Stanley to seize
upon a Cedar Falls college player to
complete his lineup. The deserters
were Manager Ryan, Outfielder Bill
Collins and Pitchers Ulch. Mellinger,
and Drohan. Their excuse for jumping
the club was that they had not re-
ceived sufficient assurance that their
salaries would be paid by the associa-
ton.
Remaining with the club are Stanley,
Harmon, Meinert, Carleton, McGlade,
