tinues to hold the attention OF our
people. A week ago at depth of 1856
feet an igneous rock was struck which
resisted the drills in use to such an
extent that in twelve hours hard work
progress of only one foot was made.
The drilling was stopped and the
workmen sent for the "boss" at Min
neapolis. He arrived in the person Of
]. f. Mccarthy, Of the firm OF Nc
Carthy & Co. who are doing the work.
After consultation with the village
board it was agreed to test the we'll
with the pump at hand, which throws
Is gallons per minute. After "a hours
of steady pumping the water in the
we'll had not lowered and it is thought
that the supply will be sufficient for
the purposes required. 1t is seventy
feet from the surface to the water,
making the depth Of water 667 feet.
The stratified earth and rock passed
through in drilling to the present
depth is about as follows: Earth.
clay, gravel and sand $50 feet, lime
stone so, various shades Of shale and
slate 1e6 feet, sandstone 300 feet, con-
glomerate rock 80 feet. and then gran
tie which is classed among unstrati-
fed rocks; however, in this case the
material supposed to be granite is
probably gneiss or mica schist and If

and granite found underneath these.
1t is about decided not to drill deeper,
as it is difficult to work in such hard
material and the chances of getting
flowing we'll are rare after reaching
the material mentioned, and by pump
ing into a reservoir all the water
needed can be obtained from the well
as it is. The quality of water obtain
ed has been pronounced excellent
after partial analysis Saturday night.
The scales of justice are again in
operation. On account of the con-
tinued illness of the Justice of the
Peace, Hugh J. Owens, he has sent in
his resignation to the village board

Oakley began business at once by
fining a citizen from Madelia, who be-
came drunk and disorderly while visit

Charles Edwards, stranger in this
locality became drunk on Saturday
and was arrested under the Shaffer
law. Monday Justice Oakly commit
ted him to the keeping Of the county
Jail for term of ten days to give him
time to reflect upon his past course of
behavior.

Lawrence Kaufman was found BY
Officer Schuette yesterday after noon
lying dead drunk on an offal heap in
an alley and was locked up by that
faithful custodian of the peace. This
morning he pleaded guilty to the
charge of drunkenness, and it being
his third offense under the state law
the court had no alternative but to
send him to the county Jail for ninety
days. Kaufman conducted a saloon
at Madison Lake during the winter,
but as he was drunk most of the time
the village council locked up his place
of business. He sold out and return
ed to this city about two weeks ago.
Kaufman in years gone by had con-
siderable property and his credit was
as good as any mans in the city.
Whisky is his bane and it has made a
wreck of him. This is the first time
that the court has imposed a senten-
ce for the third violation of the state
law.

County Bar Association at Pau &

attended by nearly all of the attor-
MES in the city. President Freeman

was to take proper steps relative to
the death of ex-senator Wilkinson.

the high character of Mr.. Wilkinson
and his thorough loyalty to his coun-
try during the trying times of the Re-
bellion. He stated that Mr.. Wilkin-
son was largely instrumental In pre-
serving Washington from capture by
the rebels. On the night when the

Senator Wilkinson heard of the mat
ter and went tC the White House and
awakened President Lincoln. They
aroused Gen. Scott and other loyal
officers and the troops were ordered

loyal element to seize the capitol and
p SIS an ordinance permitting the
South to secede. which could have
made mat tiers much more compllcat-
ed.

tor Wilkinson out Of his private

Your Husbands Mother.

[ will not call her your mother
in-law. like to think that she is
your mother in love, writes Ruth
Ashmore in a very earnest article
on "The Young Wife's First Year"
in the November Ladies' Home
Journal. She is your husbands
mother, and therefore yours, for
his people have become your PEG.
pie. There have been vulgar jets,
ridiculous songs and course puns
about the husbands mother ever
since any Of us can remember, but
in how many households is the
husbands mother an angel, not in
disguise, but appreciated and
loved? Now, will you take my adj
vice and call her what your hus-
band does? Will you treat her
just as you do your own mother,
not being afraid to tell her Of your
little affairs, receiving her as one
of your own, and making her feel
happy in the fact that she has not
lost son but has gained daugh-
ter, and loving, considerate
daughter? Will you remember
this, too, that before you came
your husband was all in all to his
mother? And sometimes when
she comes to see you, won't you
and leave these two alone,
let them talk together as they
did before the two became a trio?
Don't make it evident that you are
doing this, but go off for a little
while aud attend to some of your
household duties.

G1rlhood's Charm In Woman.

The woman who keeps the sim
plicity vf her girlhood, its generous
impulses and quick sympathies,
and who adds to her natural gifts
the enlargement of study and the
crown OF experience, is always at
her best and never past 1t. When
the exterior attractions OF form
and color diminish and depart, as
they mostly. do, the radiance of
our inner illumination will more
than compensate their departure.
But, in order that this shout d be
so, her moral must equal her in
tellectual gain.
She must be willing to learn, not
only her own powers, but her own
defects also, and to court the good
influences which can help her to
escape from the decisions OF sense
and the fatal tyranny OF self-con-
seriousness. She must discard the
petty measures of vanity and self
seeking, and learn to love her race,
her country, and the humanity
which she should help to adorn.-

Der Ladies' Home Journal.
