City's Wells are Adequate.
The city's test of the waterwork
wells does not bear out the cause fo
alarm suggested in the letter recent !
sent to the council by E. A. Bulled
in which ho declared the wells wer
Inadoepmto to the city's needs , an
that a dry season might mean a ser
ous emergency.
Mr. Bullock in his letter declare
moro wells were needed and said tha
while his pump was not running ii
fastest speed , It was running "fas
enough to take all the water that th
wells will give up. "
The letter added that "when th
pump is run faster it pumps no mor
water , as it gets vacuum. "
The city , in a twelve-hour test wit
the old steam pump , kept the stain
pipe well filled and ttie water In th
woll'j was not an inch lower at th
oni ( of twelve hours' constant pumj
Ing , than it hail been at the start.
According to Mayor Friday , the tes
of the city's wells has proved succesi
fill and there arc no signs that th
veils arc inadequate to the city's di
mauds. For twelve hours Water Con
missioner Uruinmund had the twelvt
Inch steam pump forcing water hit
the standpipe , which at 8 o'clock lai
evening was almost filled.
Not once during the twelve-hour toi
did the work ot the steam pump she
that the water In the wells was lowe
than usual. The first half hour , ho\
ovori the wells wore lowered four fee
which always occurs. After that the
Immediately filled up and when tl :
test ended at 8 o'clock the water wr
not lowered an Inch from the startin
point.
This , according to the mayor , Is su
flclont test to show that the \7ells wl
glvo up plenty of water to supply tl :
needs of the city , and that no exti
wells arc necessary at the prosoi
time.

PICKS JEFFRIES TO WIN.
Corbett Tells Why Famous Pugilist
Will Defeat Jack Johnson.
James J. Corbett , former heavy'
weight champiem of the world , writes
as follows on the outcome of the light
' between James J. Jelfries and Jacli
Johnson for the heavyweight chain
] pionslilp of tlie world :
j "When James J. JuH'iifS climbs oul
' of a prize ring on the evening of Jul.\
! 4 next in some wcMern city Salt Lake
I City or San Fniiieiseo-the world wll
I cheer him as the real champion of the
century. Between the time that tie
, entered the squared circle and tin
i eecond that he left It he will have dls
posed of all the claims of Jack John
son to the title of world's champion.
"In the set of articles that the twe
nipn signed one paragraph called foi
'I 'forty-live rounds or more. ' That was
'l unnecessary , for Jeffries will dispose
of his colored rival long before hall
(
of that time has elapsed.
"While 1 am enthusiastic over Jef
, fries , whom I have fought twice , 1
, don't want to say that Johnson has nc
merit. On the contrary , Jack Is a
good , clever , fast tighter and entitled
to all the praise lie now gets by bclnj ;
the world's champion. But there Is
one point thnt you must not overlook
In his career Johnson has not dcfeatee !
any good man of heavyweight caliber
[ , He won his title by beating Tommj
'
'j Burns in Australia and added more
glory to his claim by knocking oul
1 , Stanley Ketehel. They were a pnh
' i of good men , but good little men
' ) What chance do you think clthei
j Burns or Ketehel would have will :
I Jeffries even now ? It would slmplj
' be a case of murder.
"Very few realize that Johnson has
% only two good punches with his righl
l hand , ills specialty is a short upper
i'cnt. ' which he works to great advan
I tnge. The other is a lightning cross
! counter , which always causes damage
Ills left arm Is of no use to him ex
cept for blocking. Now , take nwuj
those two blows and where does John
son stand ? Not in the running.
"As an idea of Jeff's wallop I have
only to go back to the night of May 11
nine years ago. at Coney Island. It Is
only fair In drawing the conclusion te
say that Jeff was anything but an ex
pcricnced pugilist that night , while 1
had all the scientific points down pret
ty well. For twenty-two rounds
pummolcd Ills face at will and kept ou
of his way , but In the next sessioi
when I stepped In he just shot one
' over and I was dead to the world.
"Three years later in San Frunclsce
I stacked up against the champ am
was defeated In ten rounds. The rec
ords say ten rounds ; but , take It fron
me. I was beaten in the second. Dur
Ing that period Jeff caught me with i
right to the ribs that paralyzed me
That blow felt like n steam pile drlvoi
nt full speed , and I have wonderee
how I ever got buck after the smash
Just think how Johnson will feel whet
the big follow tears one of those rll
breakers loose !
"Tho negro's friends will say tha
Jeff will not bo able to hit Jack , bu
I can't sec how lie can be stopped
There Is no science in the world tha
can now stop Juff Johnson may pep
per him wllh right tippere'tits , swings.

NEW WAY TO HATCH CHICKENS
Electric Light Does It One Day Quicker
Now Than Mother Hen Can.
Old mother hen may not have a
chance to hatch her own chicks any
more , for then ; is a way of doing it
by electric light now which puts the
old fashioned way far In the back'
ground. At the poultry show at Mad'
ison Square Garden , in New York , the
other day scores of chickens were
hatched by electric light under a glast
globe where every one could see the
process. The electric lights keep tin
temperature Inside the globe at n de
gree which brings the chicks out ol
the shell one day quicker than mother
hen ever did it. The chicles came intc
the world fast , and New Yorkers look
ed ou with open mouthed surprise ,
But , strange as it was for the folks
who walked from Broadway to sco the
novel improvement ou nature , it was
oven more surprising to the farmers
who were attracted to the city to seei
the newest wrinkles In poultry rais
ing.
ing.One
One could see the egg crack and soon
iiotlcc n tiny beak pecking at thu
crack until there was a small hole ,
Gradually the chick pecked away
enough shell to poke Its head out and
soon broke the shall away until It tum
bled out a free , healthy , featherlcss
chick. And If one happened to come
around again In an hour he could sec
the feathers grow and the chick hop-
pint , ' around inside thu glass globe.

GUARANTY FROWNED ON ,
Wisconsin Legislative Committee Snys
Would Attract Men of Little Ability.
Madison , WIs. . Jan 27 The special
committee on banking has completed
Its work and has prepared u report
containing nine recommendations for
bills regulating the state banks of Wis
consin , among \\lileh a guaranty law Is
conspicuous hy its absence' .
One of the most Important recom
mendations Is a hill to safeguard sav
ings deposits. The committee sug
gests a law to segregate such deposits
from other funds of hanks. All money
In this department must he kept In a
separate fund and the bank must have
on hand In this department , or on deposit -
posit In rosor\o banks or Invested In
securities , provided by law , a sum
equal to the amount of sa\lngs de
posits.
In the event of suspension , bank
savings depositors have a first lien on
the assets of this department.
As to tlie guaranty law , the com
mittee says : "We are of the opinion
that the guaranty law ban a tendency
to Invite Into the banking business
men of Inferior ability and the extent
to which men of such Inferior ability
will be able to secure control of banks
depends to a considerable extent on
laws tending to discourage1 men of this
class from entering the business. "
