Fletcher & Hubbard, who have < the contract for sprinkling the streets, ran out of water on account of their pond drying up. Learning | that Mr. J. H. Lacey, residing at the northwest corner of Twentieth and Chicago streets, had a 120 foot well, with sixty feet of water in it, they offered him $2,000 for the privi- lege of obtaining water therefron, | by means of a steam pump, which they would put up for the purpose. Mr. Lacey, however, refused the offer, as he did not care to speculate | in this way, nor to destroy in any manner, the beauty of bis hand- some grounds. Hearing that this well had an in- teresting history, and that the water | nad peculiar qualities not incident | to other wells in this locality, a BEE reporter Friday morning called upon Mr. Lacey, at his residence, and obtained the following account : The well was dug in 1868, Water should have been reached at about 95 feet below the surface, but at that point the workmen struck a blue hard pan elay, and dug through it to the depth of 95 feet, finding on the way down boulders, of a dark | green color, from the size of a man’s | fist to that of a person’s head ; strat- tas of petrified vegetable matter; trunks of trees, ten inches in diame: ter, shells, ete. The digging thus tar had been undertaken b three different | parties, cach having abandoned the task in turn. But Mr. Lacey deters mined to strike water or go through to China, persevered at considerable | cost, until a depth of 120 feet was reached, when in boring witha inch augur and drill, which was used at times, a rock was struck, which appeared to be of soft sand- stone, or a shell rock, for on two or three heavy blows being given it by the drill, it sank about ten inches, m of water spouted up with such force, that the man in the well had to be drawn up im- mediately. A force of men was put on, work- ing night and day to baleit, but they could not reduce the water to a depth lower than 100 feet, and were compelled to throw inrock and | brick to fill it up to that point, and thus afiord a foundation upon which to build the wall to the surface. The water then raised up to a point about 55 feet from the surface, where it has ever since remained. Mr. Lagey has measured it re- peatedly in dry weather, and has found that it neither rises nor falls, showing pretty conclusively that it is an artesian well. He made this large amount of water available by having D. Fitzpatrick put in a force pump, to which an attachment was made, by means of which water can be forged to all parts of the house, ia ¢ the 350 barrel cistern should ever give out. Ho propos next year to put up a wind-mill and force the water to a large reservoir, and use it for purposes of irrigation on his premises in case of avother dry season. The water is in every respect su- perior to any other in this locality. Mr., Lacey has had it tested, and finds it to be what is known as car- bonated chalybeate water, which contains the carbonate of iron, dis- solved in excess of carbonic acid, and is easily Tecognized by form- ingan ochry deposit of red oxide of iron on the boards and bricks surrounding the well, owing to an eseape of the carbonie acid on ex- posure to the air. It is similar to the celebrated waters of Wiesbaden, in Germany; Islington and Spa, in England ; Bedford, Sharon, and other places in the United States. The water Is very clear, and hasa peculiar and pleasant taste, which cannot be discovered in any other water in Omal ‘We were shown a bowl of the liquid which had set- tled during the night, and on the bottom the water was of a very yel- low color, and upon the surface wa- ter being poured out, the bottor: tasted much stronger than fresh- drawn water. Mr. Lacey congratu- lates himself on the fact that it is not necessary for him to go away from home to obtain medicinal spring waters, as this answers every purpose. s Continental Life Dircctors for Omaha.

The Independent Fizzle and the | Ko-ops—Performances of Dr. Trick-Mule | Johnson. LINCOLN, August 14, 1874, EpIToR BE Again has the mountain labored, | and again has it brought forth a mouse, and a short lived one at that. The grand event which was to have revolutionized politics in Nebraska was to come off yesterday in the assembling of the Indepen- dent convention, this being | the third attempt to bring | together the champions of in- dustry It was expected that the gathering would be at least commensurate with the effort made to render it a success. Although Gen. Bick and some of the Ko-op leaders have been vigorously trying, per’s windmills, to blow life into the corpse, by repre- senting that theassemblage had ex- ceeded the expectations of ever: body, the truth s, that it was com- | paratively a much smaller affair than any county convention ever held in Lancastercounty. It didn’t pan out very well, but twas ever thus, et The chief fugler in the movement, Chureh Howe, was on the ground three days ago surveying the field, with a long glass, from an elevated position, with the hope of manipu- lating the convention according to his own i\ His face kept elong- ating as the time for holding the convention approached, and as the long expected delegates failed to make their appearange. The Convention was originally called with the view of putting up aplatform and making the nomina- tions ahead of everybody else. It was proposed to put on a bold front, and carry things by storm. When it became apparent that the thing was to be a fizzle, Dr. Trick- mule Johnson, Church Howe, and a few other manipulators commenced a lively skirmish in search of Ko-ops, Grangers, and sich. ops were quite wil- lingto “jine,” but the Grangersdid not show much confidence in the movement, which they regarded with a_suspicious eye, as they did not like the chiefs of that trike. Hon. A. K. White, a prominent Granger, wasrepeatedly approached, but be told them that he had joined the Grangers for a different purpose entirely, The Grangers kept shy of the out- fit. So the idea of holding a regu- lar convention was abandoned for the pian of calling another conven- tion with the hope that by that time the Democracy would send In a suf- ficient reinforcement to make a re- spectable showing. Dr. Johnson, the chigf Ko-op, was, from the out- set, the light around which the In. dependent moths fluttered. His election as president of the convention was virtually a confes- sion that the Grangers had been swaliowed up by the Ko-op organi- zation. People who lcoked for the m chanies and laborers, strained their organs of vision in vain; and on the whole the disappointment of the new departurjsts could hardly be concealed. The proportion of Republicans was decidedly slim. The platform adopted was virtually in the identi- cal Janguage as that of the Kansas Independents, The aate of the convention was fixed on September 8th, with the mutual understanding, as we arein- formed, that the Democrats should hold theirs two days later. ~As far as this county is concerned the movement is a decided fiz; Preparations for the coming Re- publican primaries are beginning to be quite active. There isalready much skirmish- inq among the Bank ring, who are laying their pipes to gobble the State treasury. z Henry Atkinson has been here throwing out his feelers and testing the pulse, but he has received very little comfort. The Welsh movement is looked upon from this end of the State as adend cock in the pit, Secretary Gosper is adjusting his wind mills in spite of the calm weather. From your own Scour.

At about half past seven o'clock, policeman Byrne, who is his brother-in-law, met him on | Douglas street, and endeavored to take him home. He managed to get him to the corner of Dodge and Eleventh streets, when Norton re- sisted and intimated that he wasnot going home till hie got ready. Quite a crowd collected, and policeman Collins, doing duty in the Fifth ward, came up in_answer to a call from Byrne. Norton now drew a knife, and made some threats, not- withstanding which Col rushed | towards him to aid in taking him; Byrne warned him to look out for the knife. As he came within reach, Norton cut him in the fleshy part of the left arm, which caused him to tet go, and seek a doctor at once. “ted himself arriving at the corner of Thirteenth and Farnham streets, opposite Huberman’s jewelry store, Norton a second time drew his knife, which Byme had not succeeded in taking from him.

The Judge did so, re- leasing him upon his putting up $ and his watch and chain, for his ap- pearance this morning at the Police Court. During the evening at a later hour, Gus.

Eprror Ber: The wheat raised in_this locality is immense, and will far_excel any in quality and quantity west of this; the grain is more plump and better filled. The amount sowed spring was more than ever before known, with an average yleld. There {5 scarcely a farmer who has not a large crop, and nearly all saved. Threshing machines are busy in every direction, and the average of wheat will exceed the expectation in quantity, and is being hauled to market and sold at low prices. The corn, which was severely damaged by dry weather, would have been & small yield, when the grasshoppers came and_ did much more damage. They remained but a short time, henee the damage was not so great as it would have been had they remained longer. Near Eagle, Cass County, west of this, the damage by grasshoppers was more severe and in many places on- lya part of the stalks were left standing, which will be almosta to- fol loss. Tho wheat will not equal the crop her=. Where the corn is not so severely damaged, it looks well,and if seasori- able, will yet be more valuable than Was anticipated, as the silks are still growing and the corn filling out, Where it was supposed to have been a failure. Tt has been_threatening rain for days, and while writing it is rain- ing, with prospects of continuing wet weather. Nearly all of the small grain is | stacked and out af danger. Wheat | and oat stacks are to be seen in every direction, and are so numer- | ous that they appear like villages of Wheat. Should there be a total Yy ) 4, | | failure of corn, there will be small grain_sufficient to, fatten all the hogs, and keep the stock in the country, besides the amount re- quired for bread and seed The grassis still growing rapidly, and looks green which once ap- peared almost dead, and there Wwill be no lack of hay cut if it is taken careof. Sofaras I have been in Cass county, the prospects are more flattering than any county west of it. Potatoes are scarce, but those planted late will make at least half | & crop; there is no cause for the farmers to complain as their yield of small grain will becomparati vely good, but in many places they are discouragd and fear the results ere the next season, and are now exer- cizing the practice of economy. 1 ADD, ter his | ca | Byrne then ex [and at omce started with | | Norton for the jail.
