Drillers Find Log 100 Feet Down

Gwin & Watson are putting down a drilled well on the old Bowers " farm, just over in the edge of Newton county, south of Mt. Ayr, and when down 100 ieet the drill struck something rather spongy, and on pumping out it was found to be wood. About four feet of this was passed through by the drill and underneath was quicksand. The boys brought home with them some of the pieces of wood brought up by the pump as an oc./.ar demonstrat/'n of the fact that the proximity of Goodland had nothing to do with their story. How did the wood get down to that depth, is a question. Perhaps centuries ago there was a quagmire there and a watersoaked log sank in the mud uni’l it reached this depth. At least this would seem to be the only reasonable solution.

Collegeville Items.

The October examinations were held last week, and the reports have been mailed to parents and guardians. Very F. DeLange, Provincial of the Divine Word; Rev. P. T. Jansen, Ph. D., Techny, Ill.; Rev. William Berg, Schererville; Rev. Wm. Hordeman, Frankfort, were college visitors during the last week. We were further pleased to entertain the following guests: Miss Barbara C. Havorka, Denver, Colo.; Thos. A. Blanchfield, Chicago; Miss Hetty Grey, Templeton; M'r. and. Mrs. Wm. Lynch, Peru, John Lynch and son Joseph, St. Marys, Ohio. The Columbian Literary Society 'held its bi-monthly gram Sunday evening. The interesting feature of the evening was the debate between Anthony Bombac and Max Walz on the live question: That property qualifications should be demanded of immigrants by the United States. The recitations were pleasingly delivered, and enjoyable music furnished by the military band. Last Monday was the postexamination free day. The long* walks into the count y are now in charge of the Military organization. Instead of rambling about leisurely over private property as they formerly did, the entire student body marched out soldier-fashion in companies. The trip, which included a short stop at Rensselaer, was of great delight to all the officers and privates. After the new pumps had been installed last summer, it was found that the capacity of the old wells was not sufficient to supply water to the powerful pumps. To remedy this matter, a new and much larger well will be sunk near the pump station. •The aim is to drill it deep enough, to take away all danger of a water dearth. At the present the men are erecting the big derrick preparatory to drilling. The Junior football team, determined to wipe out the defeat they had suffered on the preceding Sunday, again appeared on the college grounds Sunday afternoon. The very wet grounds (lid not deter the progress of the game though it slackened the pace considerably, and the players on both sides fought hard to. the finish. The visitors were again sent home smarting under the defeat of a 100-6 score.
