GRASS LAKE IS
DRAINED EMPTY
Big Ditch Has Opened the Way
for Its Waters 10 Flow into
Lake WacOnda.

Grass Lake is no more. The big
ditch has drained it, even before
the excavation was completed down
to Lake Waconda. At AXE Peter
sons place there is now only a small
stream of water in the bottom of
the ditch, which proves that there
is an abundance of fall. The bot
tom of the ditch is about three feet
lower than the bottom of Grass
Lake. AS soon as the dredge had
left Grass Lake the waters of the
lake began to pass the dredge, flow
ing down into Lake Waconda.
The main channel of the big ditch
is about completed, as it was ex-
pected that the dredge would cut
into the bank of Lake Waconda this
week. If this canal can be kept
open to it's original depth, the prob
lem of drainage for the south pa1t
of the city Of Willmar will have
been solved.

THIS SEASONS
LECTURE COURSE
The Citizens Committee MAKING
Arrangements for Six First
Class Entertainments.

The committee having in charge
the Citizens Lecture Course have
made selection for six dates during
the coming season. These features
are listed below and are considered
something very good. The citizens
committee is composed of Messrs.
E. C. Wellin, H. C. Buell., c.. E.
Hornbeck and P. C. Tonning.
While the course this year will con-
sist of six first-class numbers, the
price for the season tickets has not
been raised. The season tickets
are limited to 200. The course
will not be wholly paid from the
sale of season tickets, the manage
ment depending on the door receipts
to make up the balance, and hence
those who buy season tickets really
get a great deal more than they
pay for. The establishment of this
course is a public benefit and the
committee give their time graft
tuously to promote worthy cause.
Those wishing to subscribe for sea-
son tickets might help the commit
tee in their work by sending in
their names, as all the men on the
committee are busy men and the
time is short. The first number
occurs Oct. Is. Strangers and
those who have not been regular
subscribers before will do the COM
mittee a favor by communicating
with any Of it's members. A few
tickets will be left for sale at Elf
strum's S drug store. On account of
the great expense of the course this
year, no special Students rates will
be offered. The regular price Of
$500 per season ticket for the six
numbers is within reach of all who
wish to patronize the course. The
committee feels that the people of
Willmar want something a little
better each year, and hence have
made a special effort to arrange for
the best course ever offered in this
city. Members of the committee
expect to call on the patrons of the
course within few days with the
tickets.
The numbers of the course and
dates of same are as follows:
Tuesday, Oct. Is, Apollo Quin-
tette and Bell Ringers.
Thursday, Dec. 5: Ralph Par

HAS PASSED BEYOND
Beautiful Young Life Is Ended by
the ANGEL of Death.

Sept. 3O.-1t is again our sad
duty to report the death of a young
friend. The angel Of death visited
at the N. F. Hallberg home last
Thursday morning and took away
his daughter Nellie, who after a
long time suffering was at rest in
the arms of her Saviour. About two
months ago she underwent an ope-
ration at the Branton hospital in
Atwater, from which she recovered
sufficiently to return to her home,
but soon suffered a relapse and was
later taken to a hospital in Litch-
field and all that medical skill could
do was done for her, but all in
vain. Nellie was a girl of a quiet
and loving disposition and we'll
liked by all who knew her. She
suffered severe pain during her ILL
ness, but was never heard to COM
plain but bore all patiently in good
faith Of a better home above, where
she would suffer no pain. Nellie
Eleonora Hallberg was born in the
town of Gennessee Oct. 4, 1890,
and died Sept. 26, 1907, at the age
of 16 years, II months and 22 days.
She leaves to mourn her loss, be-
sides her father, five sisters, name
ly, Adina, Jennie, Carrie and Es-
ther, who are all staying at home,
and Mrs. Emil P. Anderson Of Kan
diyohi; and two brothers, Fred and
Arvid. A sister, Hilma, died a
year ago last April and her mother
died about ten years ago. The fu-
neral took place on Sunday after
noon at one o'clock from the house
and at three o'clock at the Luther
an church Of Atwater. Rev. G. O.
Schoberg officiated. She was laid
to rest in the family lot in the
cemetery south Of town. The pail
bearers were Edwin Peterson, Ell
mer Thulin, Emil E. Anderson,
Charles and Reuben Peterson. The
bereaved family have the sympathy
Of the entire community.

Liquor Injuries a Moderate Dr1nker.

Temperance advocates will rejoice
over the result of a series Of expert
uents recently concluded by Reid
Hunt. chief of the Division of Pnsr-
mscologv of the United States Public
Health and Marine Hospital Service.
Dr.. Hunts conclusions. made public
IN 43.page pamphlet, issued by the
Government Printing Office, show that
the moderate drinker"-the man who
takes drink ouly occasionally"-en-
dangers his life just as surely, though
perhaps not as conspicuously, as the
fellow who gets drunk. Nice, guinea
pigs and rabbits were used by DR..
Hunt in his investigations, and in all
his experiments he was careful to feed
his little patients very limited guam
titles of "booze." In fact, the doses
of alcohol given in the tests were so
small that the mice, pigs and rabbits
never showed any traces Of intoxica-
ton whatever. But almost from the
moment they begun to take the apir-
its into their systems. weak as the
doses were, they began to lose their
power of resistance to the effects OF
poisons, Mice, pigs and rabbits that
were fed on grain or vegetables and
water only were able to stand quite
large injections of the various poisons,
such as scetonitrile, hydrated choral
and sodium sulphocyanate, but as soon
as spirits were introduced with their
food in place of water their powers of
resistance declined at rapid rate. and
half. or even quarter, OF the amount
of poieon which under normal diet did
not kill would end the life of the AMI
NAL.
Il have found profound modifcs-
tions," says DR. Hunt, "of certain
physiological processes to result in a
comparatively short time from doses
of alcohol so small that indications of
intoxication never occurred.
