ZAUERSHAM.
William Faversham. the famous actor and matinee girl's Idol, and his beautiful wife, who has, in the past,
been greatly identified with his success, are to be separated If the divorce suit brought by Mrs. Faversham Is
decided in her favor. News of domestic infelicity in the house of Faversham comes like a thunderbolt to the
whole theatrical world where the actor and his beautiful wife have always been regarded as a model of con
jugal bliss, seldom equalled in theatredom. Mrs. Faversham's suit against her husband for absolute divorce is
shrouded in much mystery. The testimony is to be taken before a referee so that the public may never know
the real facts of the case.

High and low, rich and poor quaff
water from the salt well on govern
ment square to ensure health or allevi
ate pain. At all seasons of the year
not a day passes without gallons and
gallons of the fluid that gurgles out of
the dull gray stone fountain, go into
homes innumerable to fulfill countless
uses.
A great many people are habitual
users of the "mineral water," as they
term it. Morning and evening they
come to get a drink. Throughout the
year they continue never missing a
day when they are in the city. As a
usual thing these people drink from
the palms of their hands, although a
few condescend to use a battered tin
cup generally found at the well.
"Water from the salt well cured me
of the pill habit." said one of the con
stant users. "I find that It Is a gentle
laxative containing epsom salts and
other mineral properties. It Is my
only medicine and I am a crank con
cerning the efficacy of its medicinal
virtues.
"Last summer I was absent from the
city and returned feeling abominably
bum. Previous to my arrival a doctor
hinted typhoid fever. I began my old
habit of drinking salt water, taking
double doses to make up for lost time
and soon felt all right again. I be
lieve that my timely arrival within
reach of the artesian well saved me
from a serious spell of sickness."
For catarrh and colds In the head
the salt water is a very popular reme
dy. The sufferers sometimes congre
gate about the well and use the water
by snufling It Into the nostrils. Some
times they come with jugs and bottles
to take the fluid home. In the latter
case it is generally diluted when used,
as the minerals are a trille strong for
the membranes of the nose when un
diluted. Some of the doctors endorse the
water for catarrh. It has a stimulat
ing effect on the membranes and al
lays the suffering caused by the dis
ease. Honored and respected citizens liv
ing in all the wards of the city rely
on the stream constantly pouring out
of the well to slay all scalp microbes
and remove dandruff. With it they
shampoo and beat the barbers out of
many an easily earned quarter and to
the innocent salt well back of the post
office may be charged many unmade
sales for various dandruff cures.
Three times a week at a certain
hour a little girl makes her way to
the well carrying a half gallon jug.
She cannot reach the rim of the foun
tain, so she has to wait for a passer
by who will hold the jug under one of
the spouts and fill it. Very politely
she thanks the accommodating one
and starts blithely away. She takes
the water to an Invalid who has used
It as a medicine for many months.
Nearly every day some local humor
ist has the privilege of leading out-of-town
friends to the well and giving
them a drink. Unwarily the unsus
pecting one takes in a goodly mouthful
only to eject it again rather ungrace
fully. The cute friend starts to laugh
ing while the countenance of the vic
tim is blanketed with that "what in
the world is the matter with that
water" expression. If the joker Is
also addicted to the Ananias habit a
long discourse on the difficulty of get
ting used to Lincoln city water fol
lows. As a result the face of the vic
tim grows visibly longer and If there
are any temperance resolutions stowed
away In the confines of the brain, they
are momentarily In grave danger
In 18"o the salt well was sunk on
government square. The village au
thorities wanted a generous How of
fresh water thereabout ami Ji.000 was
act uMdc for the purpose of securing
It. .Of course In those, days the water
rate question was not heralded every
morning In the dally press to Interest
and perhaps vex the Inhabitants.
When a man wanted a drink he In
vaded Salt Creek with a gourd or
trespassed on one of the extremely
few private wells.
A contractor named Eaton did the
work. At a depth of 160 feet the
water was good and salty. It flowed
In a perpetual stream 560 feel below
the surface. At a depth of 1.060 feet
taken to the state university museuni
where they may be seen by the unbe
lieving at any time. Sundays and legal
holidays excepted.
The salt well Is the one Lincoln Im
provement that bids fair to flow on
forever. Old residents, shifted by III
fortune to other cities. Insist on hav
ing salt water and many a bottle and
jug the express companies have trans
ported. The expense of sinking the,
welt has been doubtless repaid a hun
dred fold by the salty comfort de
rived therefrom by all conditions of
men.
