THE FOURTH AT WEEPING
WATER.
The Fourth of July at Weeping
Water liiJo ftiir to he a rousuig celebra
tion. 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. J

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.
