This locality unci many others, vc couhl iiu-nlioti in the county, have foregone their picnics ami cek-brutious Ht lnme, to attend the District reunion and celebration at Weeping- Water. Among the yeomauiy of Cass county, there is a very largo sprinkling of those who wore the blue aud fo'lowed the old llag from Gl to the close of the re bellion. Among these old soMiers there are perhaps, represcntati ved of the Union Armv from every branch of the service These old soldiers arc to meet at their District Reunion on Tuesday, Wed nesday and Thursday next, at Weeping Water, where ample preparations have been made to receive them and take care of them, in that whole-souled, hospitable, and generous manner to characteristic of the people of that lo cality. Consequently, the celebration of the Fourth of July at Weeping Water this year will have a deeper significance, and a twofold meaning. The veterans and heroes of the war of the rebellion will be there in the flesh, celebrating the heroic deeds and the grand achieve ments of the heroes of '70, whilst they recount to one another the battlesf sieges, fortunes, they have passu; and of the " moat disastrous chances, hair breadth 'scapes T the imminent leadly breach," it was their fortune to pass through in preserving to mankind this republican government, in its fullest ami truest sense. Xo fitter time for this District Reunion could have been clioseu, than that day which he American people have dedicated acred to the memories of the found ers of the Republic. Xo fitter subjects could bo called together to celebrate this occasion than the defenders and preservers of those institutions of which all true Americans are so proud and boastful. Colorado Correspondence. Denver, Col., June 27, 1S33. There have been, from time to time, attempts made to get up a mining oom right here in the city.. Every li ttle while somebo ly discovers some thing under ground, and the enterpris ing iournahstic talent will get up a sensation for a day or two over a dis covered coal mine, or possibly a well preserved human skull. Rut now she "Ii;iS got a find for a fact." The bo nanza is water, pure, fresh, sparkling water in a bounteous flow away down iu the bowels of the earth ! Nor is the rich strike confined to this city, for the evidence goes to show that splendid water may be found almost anywhere in the state of Colorado, if one only has the pcrseverence necessary to go deep enough. The trial of the artesian well experiment was first made last fall. by the government, at Akron, .!out one hundred and seventy miles from Denver. When the work was first started upon, there were very few per sons who had faith in its success. Rut the boring began, and at a depth of 130 feet a fine stream of water rawarded the labor expended. The first trial made in this city was upon the high ground of North Denver At Zahug's brewery boring began, and a vein of water was found at a depth of 120 feet. It was thought that this flow, which became stronger aud stronger, the farther the bore was extended, might come from Sloan's lake, which was not tar away, and accordingly another well was siarted some distance from the fir9t, and again water was foun 1 192 feet below the surface of the larth and the stream at this place amounted to 30,000 gallons per day. The Lion brewery people in West Denver, with a laudable desire not to be out-doue intlie matter of water any more than in the matter of beer, tried the ground over in that portion ot the city, and had the good luck to find water at a depth of 1S2 feet. Keeping on, until they reach ed 299 feet and a flow amounting to 40,000 gallons per day. Since that time; various experiments have been made successfully in East Denver, where the ground is flat aud level. The greatest difficulty was experienced in one of the most famous wells near Col- te closely resembling granite, was tru ut a depth ol lil feet. At one time k it was thought that the trial at this plac e would have to be given up, but persi tent work brought, the desired resul t 1 1 The opperalions employed in boiin the whIIs is very fimplc. It consists ot a derrick, n frame, a walking beam an I horse power. To the walking beam IS attached a rope with a heavy drill a the end. The burings are tik-n on by an improved sand tdiovel as fut a tho I'ccutnulatiou : intei feres with tin working of the drill. Well t t are being dug all over tl cit. One ot the most successful experiments was that mu(5o under t'ie Tabor (iraud Opera House, where a vein has been struck which forces wat er through the pipes to the li f tn story of the buildings. The Jewell l'ark proprietors have iu auguiated a series of baud concerts out at that pleasant pot, and other attrac tions are being added rapidly. One of the most important is the erection of a huge grand stand upon the line of the race track. Th structure is being built by Contractor Platlbot, 40x200 feet, and will seat twelve hundred per sons. About one-third of the seating room will be provided with comforta ble chairs, aud will be reserved for the ladies. Relow this portion of thestruc tuie and reached by an easy stair case will be reception and retiring rooms finr the ladies also. A betting room one story in height, of dimensions 35x75 feet, will be at tached to the grand stand. Upon the opposite side of the track will be the judge's stand, which will be erected upon a similar style of convenience as the grand stand. These structures will be finished in ample time to be used for the meeting of the Denver Jockey Club, which will begin on the 25th of July. In my last I mentioned the probabili ty that the Grand Army encampment would be' located near the exposition grouuds. Since that time the causes which led to the contemplation ota change of base have been removed aud the camp will remain at the place .originally selected. .The laud has been donated for the use of the G. A. R. by the Union Pacific railroad company, which ha alBoPrnrrCeif to 3iu"lTweTlsfur nish an engine to pump water, build a side track and furnish free transporta tion of freight, aud to luruis'i a variety of other and minor conveniences. Ti e camp will bo named "Van Dervoort," in honor of the National Department Commander, Paul Van Dervoort of Omaha, Nebraska. The invitations to the encamp ment which have been issued, are very nanasome ana eiaooraie in design. They are printed upon cardboard and have besides the words of invitation, emblematic designs of the progress of Colorado from 18(31 un til the present time, and also the vari ous army corps badges used during the war. The designs were drawn by Mr. Clay, a talented young a rchitect of this city, and engraved by the Moss Engrav ing Company of New York. A few words about the Exposition,. without which no letter from this city would be complete, at this time. The great show will be open on the 17th prox.. and the building will be open for the reception of exhibits upon the first day of the month. The work of assigning space is now being aone upon a very perfect system. The meth od is for applicants to fill out a Wank application, which is left with Assist ant Secretary Wilson, upon whom de volves the duty of making the assign ments. This is done with a view to ar range for the pcrfeet satisfaction of both applicants and management, and the harmonious effect of the whole dis play. The applicant is notified of the location for h'i3 exhibit by the recep tion of a diagram of the building with his particular apartment marked thereon. lie can then take his articles of exhibit to the building aud arrange the same to his own taste and conveni- ence. rue applications are sun pour in" in and the exhibition will be sim ply immense. What exhibitors there were who appeared a little slow, 4 few weeks ago, are coming to the scratch gradually, and had they not done 6o, there were new ones enough to more than take up their space. Mr. C. Chamberlain, who has been appointed in charge of the Art De partment, is doing a splendid work in preparing for a grand display. Not only will the collection of pictures be very large and the works show a great amount of talent but the gallery itself will be a marvel of taste in decoration and arrangement. He will a io issue an illuitrated catalogue which will aid mnMi in th. nleasure ot the visitors. At the triennial conclave of K nights Tpmnliirs in San Francisco in Atisrust. thre are exnected that at least 7.000 Sir Knights will be present from various points, mostly from the East. All of the eastern pilgrims will stop for a day or two in Denver. This visit will -occur a week after the convocation of Chapter Masons, and . add to the Ma sonic ceremonies of August.

WIK - To ulinm all communications for tills tlMart liieut fllould be addressed. There is a general movement by the Woman's Christian Temperance Union iu ill the elates, to introduce temper ance instruction in the common schools whereby the children in:iy be taught the properties and effect of alcohol upon the brain and tissues of the human sys tem. H is well to provide for teaching the youth of our land the evils of in temperance, at a time when they, are teachable, and when lessons learned will remain through life, feuch knowl edge imparted to children correctly and properlv, cannot fail to be of vast ben efit on the future of the temperance question. This movement, we think, is in the right direction, if our theories A education are correct. It should be the end and aim of our school system to make wise aud useful citizens, and a3 we consider intemperance the dead liest of old foes to good citizenship, that method which tends to mitigate the evils, ought to be considered an impor tant branch of study in our public schools. We hope the Plattsmouth W. C. T. U. will make a i effort of this kind In behalf of our thriving city schools. An effort we are sure that will meet with the hearty approval of Superin tendent and Roard of Directors. Temp a. BANKS. JOHN KITZOKKAL1), A. W. MCLAUGHLIN President. iCafhier. FIRST NATIONAL BAlsTK !
