Wo notice by the record that In tho Until settlement of the estate. Dan Garbor has bought out tho interests of the balance of the heirs and now is solo ownor of the Old Joseph (tarbcr homestead, just north of town. This is without exception one of the finest farms in Wobster County, or perhaps in the Republican Valley. The location is exceptionally dcslreablc, the soil is doop and fertile and the timbor and wator mnko it a very excollcnt grain and stock farm. Dan has boon solicit od to plat the s. o. 20 in five acre out lots and has about concluded to do so. Just a half milo from tho city limits, this is a very convenient and desirable location for residence prop erty.

Dr. Condra Speaks on the .Water Question In response to tho invitation of our citizens Dr. Condra visited our city last Thursday. In company with J. S. Qilhom, Mayor Potter, Councilman Bailey and Wator Commissioner Bur goss, he visited our pumping station and examined our water supply from the wells to the Maurcr springs. After his examination of the ground ho met many of our people in tho Commorclol club room?. He prepared a few drawings Illustrating tho geolog ical formation of the Republican valley and more especially at this place. His address was in reality u lecturo In which he invited questions and dis cussion. Ho began by stating Unit lie would hhowthat tliore aro three classes of wells in this section of the country and would show why thoro are these threo classes. In order to uiulei stand tho condition of the water supply it was necessary to know somothlug of tho geological formation of tholtepub Jican valley. Tho rock which holds the water commonly called shale is known as Kiobria chalk, this material was worn away when the Republican River was formed and tho bottom land along the valley Is tuado ground or Alluvium. Wells in tills ground nro shallow and not of gmd quality. Further up on the blunN nro found poor or dry wells not beciiiho tliore is a small supply of water but because tho water will not move fast enough thru rock to bo of much uso and also the wator is poor in quality because being mixed witli tho oil and other matter found in tho rocks. Hack upon tiie table land on top of this Niobrla chalk is upland sand and gravel, next Alluvium and on top of this Loess. All the water In this sect ion is derived from the rain fall. In the tablo land thlu rain water per culutos thru the Loess into tho sand and gravt'l and rcstb upon tho chalk rock thru which it cannot go. A well put down in this land produces an in oxaustablo supply of water of the very host quality. The Mauror springs aro simply an out let for this table land wator. Since the water at the pump house is the same water as the water at tho springs and siuco tho wator shed along tho way was comparatively clean, Dr. Condra recommended a system of ill terage as best adapted for our pur poses all things considered. He stated emphatically that there was little danger to bo feared from dead hogs or cattle but to beware of tho dangers lurking in water into which there was the possibility of contamination from any excrement from the human body. Any well in the vicinity of a privy vault or cess pool is exceedingly dun garouB. He informed his hearers that we had an abundance of pure water right at our back door as it wore and said we were to be congratulated upon our good fortune. Ho promised to send a working detail for tho guidance of the council so that they could make no mistake in following out his recom mendations. Homo one asked him about tho pos sibility of a deep well and ho replied that such an idea was entirely out of tho question. It would be possiblo to strike an artesian How about 700 feot down but the water would be of a vory poor quality and usolcss for drinking purposes. Ho then explained tho for mation of tho earth for a milo or so deep and showed that below the 700 foot level where the Dakota sand stono bod lay, there was no water of any description worthy of the name. That disposed of that phase of tho matter. Tho real effect of the Doctor's visit was to clarify the atmosphere sur rounding this water problem. Had ho been summoned hero many years ago it would have saved tho city many dollars in tnonoyVud many hours of anxious worry. Tho people wore unlversallysatistiod with him and to a man acknowledged him to bo fully competent to pass judgement upon our conditions hero or any other locality in Nebraska.

Ten years ago at this time the political pot would havo been boiling, and tho machines would havo been working over-time. Now hero it is the first of April and poli tico aro making scarcely u rlpplo on the surface. Ten years ago there would have been a dozen avowed candidates in every parti for each state otlice. Today the candidacies aro practically limited to the gover norship. Two democratic guberna torial candidates aro in tho Hold. Governor Sballcnborccr is acaudidato for re election, and in addition to a record surpassed by no other governor bus tho unwritten Jaw of a second torm for a faithful und cillclcnt otllo- ial behind him. Mayor Duhlman of Omaha has announced his caudiducy. This closes the Held in the democratic ranks so far as any ono knows. The republicans are all ot sea. Sheldon is talked of in some quarters. Aldricu is talked of In other quarters. Miles has u following but he shows symptoms of shyness. Cowles, land commissioner, Bishop, superintendent, and Barton, auditor, will naturally be re-nominated by the republicans, but there is a derth of men willing to tako tho once cock sure nominations for treasurer, at torney general, and secretary of stato. Charley Pool, Bpeakcor of the last legislature, Is an avowed candidate for tho democratic nomination for secrotury of state. But this seems to be about tho limit of present know ledge on matters cundidatorial. Considerable interest Is manifested In Mr. Byran's return from South America. He is expected about May 1st, arid there are those who aro anx ious to havo him say something that will clear up tho senatorial situatlou. L'util he does a lot of democratic and independent voters will bo "all at sea." That Peru Normal trouble is not yet sottled. It is reported that Secretary Luddeu blames Prof. Crubtree for tho introduction of the bill creating the board uftorvvurds declared unconsti tutional, and that the ministerial poli tician is getting revongo. Tho fact of tho matter is that Crabtrec had noth ing to do with tho drafting of the bill, nor was ho consulted. Tho bill waa drafted by three prominent educators of the state, two of them republicans and one of them u democrat. They were more interested in the cause of education than they wero of party. In this they soem to differ very much from tho ministerial-politician, whose acts arc such as to show him up to be vastly more interested in g. o. p. sue coss than he is in the cause of education.

The Bureau of Labor and Industrial Statistics has been pursuing some original investigation as to the "cost of living.",,. One of the interesting foaturcs brought out is that rents cost tho average wage earner in tho cities just oue-ilfth of his total iucomc. Another is that increases in wages have fullcn far behind the iucreabc in the cost of living. The full percent ages havo not yet boon worked out, but the diiTcreuce is startling. April 1st., marked tho opening of tho fishing season, except for bass. This limits tho fishermen to "bull heads" until .hum 1, except they may catch trout not less than eight inches long.
