Let us cow eiamine Into some of the "Conditions eurrouDding domestic wells and springs In the lurger towns and vll- lages, conditions which also prevail some times even about rural homes. We shall then be better able to understand how a - well, like a Nevada silver mine, may have '"millions in It," and bow "the old oaken ' bucket" may bring from the depths ele ments of disease with the same draft that refreshes the thirsty throat. For conven ience, a well Is eituutcd In the back yard, perhaps a rod away from the house, or It may even be nearer. Certain other things, also for convenience's sake, are grouped close about the buck door. Here is a cess- . pool but a short distance, perhaps only a Tew feet, from the well. There Is a vault, filthy Institution, which is an open dis grace to civilization. A little further away is tho garbage heap. In other adjacent localities are tho chicken coop, the pigpen -and the stable, with their accumulations of decomposing filth. It may bo that in a corner a dead animal lias been buried to ave the trouMo of conveying it to a dis tance. A damp and recking 8pot near the back door marks the placo where tho .slops have been deposited since tho drain to tho cesspool becanio stopped up with the iircumuLtid refuse of half u dozen years. KuTy one of tho sourr.es of contamina tion jiicntiijiiftl is a contributor to tho Well. A J ;irt of the putrid material lloats upon llir ground and is disposed of by evaporation, but the greater portion of It oaks into tho ground. It Is a common error to suppose that whutoer lias disap jiean 1 l::i. the ground is destroyed. Tho filth which has disappeared from the stir S.vii may bo out of sight, hut it Is not out .f exisfeno.

OUTLOOK, HOWEVER, VERY BRIGHT There Is Mor Demand Now VLIblo for Nearly All Products-Coal Dispute Will Eally lie Settled ly m General Kevlval of Industrial Activity Speculation la the Wool Market Continues Advance In the Trice of Wheat. New York, July 19. R. O. Dun & Co.'s Weekly Itevlew of Trade pays: Excepting the great coal miners' sulk?, which may terminate at any time, there is scarcely a feature of the business outlook which Is not encouraging, the season considered. Crop xrenpects have been improved by needed rain in tome regions, and foreign advices continue to promise a large demand. In many homo Industries, particularly in build ing, l bore !.- mere activity than in any year s-l.iee lS'Ji', and the week has brou i'.V.t a bi tter demand in boots a::d shoes and In woolens, while the move ment of freight, mainly Ir. n ore, through the Fault Ste. Mario canal Is the larg est in ltd hlsiory. With money markets unclouded, there Is nothing in sight to hlr.drr rapid Improvement when uncer tainty about legislation has been re moved, tor tho miners' strike could not last lone If business and industries Ehould become active. Coal from Wet Virginia. There Is much less apprehension of a failure of fuel supply than there was during the lirtt few days, when prices rapidly advanced, and large quantities of coal from West Virginia have reached northern markets, but some of the min ers In that state have struck. The ad vance in wheat to Sl'i cents was not due to the government estimate, whl.h was followed by a decline, but to for eign advices and considerable buying for export. Demand is already felt from Australia, South Africa, Brazil and even Argentina, while the promise for European crops Is not considered bright. The disposition of farmers to keep back wheat for higher prices may affect the outward movement, but Atlantic ex ports during July, flour included, have been 3,115,443 bushels, against 2.953,817 last year, although in the same weeks 4,659,315 bushels of corn went out, against 1,571,072 last year. Wheat closed 4 cents higher for the week, and corn M cent higher. Cotton a Little Higher. Cotton is a sixteenth higher, the clos ing or partial stoppage of important New England mills hardly neutralizing in market estimation the apprehensions of injury from drought. The cotton goods market does not yet reduce large accumulated stocks, as the curtailment of production shows, but is growing a 1 little more healthy without change in prices. Woolens for the coming season have not been generally shown, though on some low-priced goods advances of 7Va cents are asked, and presumably will be asked on better grades. There Is rather more business in reorders, and the tone is more confident. Speculation 1 In the wool market continues with prices at all points stronger, at Boston ad- ! vanelng with signs of a boom among dealers, In which manufacturers are taking little part In current prices, and at the west, where holders are looking for a great advance. Imports at Bos ton were 23,862 bales in two weeks, and dealers are said to have bought 100 000 bales more in Landon. Sales were 10, 452,300 pounds at the three markets for the week, and 24,572.800 in two weeks, of which 12.607.200 were domestic. Mate of the Iron Trade. The output of Iron furnaces July 1 was 164.064 tons weekly, against 168,380 June 1, but several furnaces have gone into blast since July 1, and the output Is large for the season. Presumably an unprecedented share of it Is to supply the great steel companies, which are even now putting more furnaces into blast, and have heavy orders taken when prices were dropped, while the demand for structural shapes and plates is large, and for bars improving, though steel bars are now at the low est quotation ever known in Pittsburg, 87V4 to 90 cents, with Bessemer pig quot ed slightly lower. Tin plates are also lower at $3.10 for full weight, and less than S3 is paid for 100-pound boxes. Failures for the week have been 263 in the United States, against 269 last year, and twenty-seven in Canada, against thirty-nine last year. Looks Like He Was Drowned. Lake Geneva, Wis., July 19.- Edwin C. Waldo, former secretary of the Cen tral Relief Association of Chicago, and later attached to the University set tlement in Forsythe street. New Tork city, has disappeared. He was the guest of C. C. Boyle of Chicago at his summer residence here. He went out rowing and later the empty boat con taining his coat was found. He was well connected. Smuggled Jewelry .Seised. New York, July 19. Custom detec tives made a haul of smuggled Jewels on the steamer Fuerst Bismarck at Ho- boken, N. J., Friday. They found in the pockets of a paloon passenger, Jo seph Direnberger of Chicago, a diamond brooch, a pair of diamond earrings, a diamond necklace, and two diamond Fcarfplns. The jewelry was seized, but no arrests were made. Mussulman Almoiiiheil, Canea, Island of Crete, July 19. In consequence of the Increasing turbu lence of the Mussulmans and the al most incessant outbreaks and disorders, the admirals of the International fleet have Issued a proclamation admonish ing the Mussulmans and announcing that if a single European soldier is harmed they will bombard the tovwi. Dastard Jealousy Once More. Chicago, July 19. Frank W. Phelan became jealous and fatally shot Kittle Wadsworth Friday night and then killed himself.

THE NEWS IN BRIr Edward Harvey, a boy at Evanavllle, 2nd., was shot accidentally by Otto Is mus and fatally wounded. A strange defense has been offered In England by a captain who ran an ex cursion steamer, as it seemed, delib erately on the rocks near Scarborough. The passengers thought he was drunk, but he wants to be let off because he was under the Influence of opium taken to relieve pain. Mrs. S. Morrison of Areola, Ills., was attacked by a fetoclous bull and badly injured. She Is In a serious condition. The queen, it 1 calculated, has now fpent more time In Scotland then many kings and queens who ruled Scotland alone. In fact, her majesty's spring and autumn sojourns In the Highlands since 1S42 make an aggregate of about eighteen years. Mrs. Isaac Richards, wife of one of the wealthiest farmers in LaGrange, Ind., committed suicide by hanging her self In the orchard. A knighthood was recently given to Mr. R. Guinnv.-s?, the acting manager of Guinness & Co. His brewery firii hid already received two peerages and the ribbon of St. Patrick. Mr. R. Guin ness is a cousin of Lord Iveagh and tho brother of Lady Iveagh. David Myers of Eldora, la., a veteian, is missing. He drew $133 pension money at New Prov'Jence last Friday. John D.

SAGINAW PEOPLE WALKING. The .street Hallway System Completely Tied l p. Saginaw, Mich., July 19. The city's street railway system is completely tied up as a result of a several months' light between the city and the Union Street Railway company, which culmi nated recently In a decision by the su preme court sustaining the right of the city to take any measures to compel the railway company to settle certain spe cial improvement taxes. Following this the common council declared the com pany's franchise forfeited. Action like that was not expected, however, until next week. During Friday night the police placed a big steam roller across the car tracks leading to the main lines and are guard ing the machine against any molesta tion. The bondholders and stockholders of the compary have vainly tried to agree on a basis of settlement of the trouble, the bone of contention being a debt of ?45,000, which the bondholders were unwilling to assume. Passed Counterfeit Money. Marinette, Wis., July 19. The police Friday arrested three men charged with passing counterfeit money. Two of them are Erik Lundgren and James Chrlstlanson of this city and the other John St. Clair of DePere. The latter, it Is alleged, furnished the money, which was bogus silver dollars.
