Capioma Magnesium Well. 
Near Capioma, Nemaha county, seven miles due south of Sa- 
betha, on the farm of Philip Hackett, is a drilled well 130 feet 
deep. The first ninety feet was drilled in 1896, and the last 
forty feet in 1900. The well has a six-inch iron casing. On 
account of the peculiar taste, the attention of the owner was 
called to the water, and the analysis showed it to be a strong 
magnesium water, containing sodium sulfate. Sabetha is on 
the C. R. I. & P. railway and the St. Joseph & Grand Island 
railroad.
