PARK WELL c0NDEmNEo
Drinking Watsr Afforded In Nivsrvis~
Complete Report on City Water ~
indicated in Telegram, centains
Too Much Vegetation.

Complete reports OF the analyses OF
samples of city water and of the south
well In Riverview park were received
by City Physician Lierle this morning.
The water at the park is found to be
contaminated, and TO contain the colon
bacini, which cause typhoid fever. The
well will be condemned and the city
physician said this morning he would
telephone Caretaker Beehrle to fasten
the handle 80 that the pump could not
be used.
AS indicated in the telegram that
came shortly after the samples Of the
water were sent to Iowa City, the city
water Is not as good as it should be.
altho 1t shows no indication Of sew
age. The bacterial count in the city
water Is too high, showing the presence
OF an over-abundance OF IRON, which
indicates the presence OF too much or
ganic matter in the water. This 10 due
to accumulated vegetation.
The treating OF the water, to over
come the danger from the organic mat
ter has not been done az yet, - the
calcium hypochlorite, ordered when the
water was found to contain too much
organic matter, has not yet been re-
ceiyed. The chemists who made the
examination OF the water advise that
other samples Of city water be sent for
analysis soon.
City Physician Lierle said this
morning that he would still advise the
boiling OF all city water until the or
ganic matter was treated and the wat
err proved to be better.
Mayor Willard, as chairman Of the
board OF health, said that he had re-
cefved no reports from physicians as
to the presence Of typhoid fever. That
there is at least one case in the city
was learned today by the T.-R The
patient Is Mahlon, the 1o-year- son
OF MI. and Mrs F. L. Meeker. 10

ually accomplished. Farms worth
$500 per acre and assessed at $50
hardly equalize with houses and
lots worth $4,000 and assessed at
$500 so the farms had to be rails
ed. If farms continue to 60 up to
$500 per acre in real value an av-
erage assessed value of less than $50
per acre will hardly equalize with
houses and lots which will demand
that farm land assessments be rails
ed again. There is, at least, no oc-
casion to reduce them from the val
ues of two years ago.
The thing to do is to analyze the
tax receipt and see who made the
levies, whether township, town,
school, county or state taxing body
and then find out whether the
money was we'll spent. The average
assessed valuation is joke and of
course will not bear strict construc-
ton investigation although it may
be fair when judged by comparison
with other assessments.

AN UNFAIR DEMAND.

Jewell Record: The state conven-

held at Atlantic, Iowa, must have
felt under deep obligations to the
companies that manufacture ma
chimes for printing names Of sub
scribers upon the margin of the
front pages of newspapers. In their
resolutions they recommend that all
newspapers be compelled to print
names on the paper in
stead of writing the names or past
ing labels on the papers. If the
postoffice department were 10 te
guided by those resolutions land al

my admiration for his act, much as
the president "deplored" his loss in
the executive department. If Mr..
Bryan's resignation was ill-timed, or
unwarranted, he had distinguished
presidents among men who have
been big enough to be statesmen.
If the secretary's post-resignation
remarks were better unsaid, who,
that has retained a bit of the New
World Boy in him does not, once in
a decade, spill over, unless he be
politician of the "politic' sort,
whose actions are prompted solely
with a view to immediate profit-a
slave to personal interests. Perhaps
the game" as certain politicians
choose to call it, may be played de-
"a game"-but political
writer's should avoid the ''unforgiv-
able sin" of ingratitude and not be-
little the character of a valuable
and faithful citizen.

BUSINESS MANAGEMENT.

Mason City Times: Tennessee
has had wonderful success in
Strengthening out municipal entan-
clements by applying process of
sane business administration super
vised by the courts. Memphis, a
number of years ago, went broke
through incompetent and corrupt Of
fcials and attempted to repudiate
outstanding Indebtedness. The
courts appointed business man as
receiver, and under his direction the
city rapidly recovered. Yesterday
a receiver was appointed by the
courts for Nashville, which was
found moneyless, with credit ex-
hausted. If a business management,
under direction of the courts is a
good thing in adversely, why is it
not a better thing in prosperity?

SILOS NECESSARY.

This year, of all years, every
Iowa farmer ought to think Of the
silo proposition, says Professor W.
H. Pew, of Iowa State college.
There are thousands and thousands
of acres of corn in Iowa this year
that will never make anything bet
ter than immature corn. Every live
stock man that does not have silo
ought to think about building one,
and the man who has one ought to
think about building another"

CANNOT REMIT TAXES.

Des Moines Capital: According
to the county accounting department
at the state house Iowa cities and
towns have no right to remit taxes
as encouragement to factories that
may be looking for locations. This
will affect Des Moines and it will
affect every other city in the state
where it has been customary for
years for cities to thus aid new con-
Germs in getting started in territory
that is strange to them.

Slav Leaders Face Problem of Evac.
uating Polish City Without
Loss of Forces.
THEIR FRONT IS SHAKEN
Germans Making Supreme Effort to
Get Across Enemy's Line of
Retreat.

London, July 31.-The Russians
now are facing the problem of evac-
uating Warsaw and the surrounding
country without losing their armies
while the Austro-German forces are
making a supreme effort to get
across the Slav line of retreat.
The Teutons are said to have met
with partial successes in this at
tempt, a Berlin official report last
night stated Won Mackenzen, in re-
Stunning the offensive, had reached
the Chelm-Lublin railway, about
midway between those two cities
and that southeast of this as far as
the Bug river, the Russian front had
been shaken"
The success Of Won Mackenzen in
getting across this railway, after
having been virtually stopped by
the Russian counter attack, denies
at least one line of retreat to the
Russians, and places the Germans in
a position to move against the Bug
river front should this be decided
upon.
British military critics, however,
refuse to believe Grand Duke Mich
olas, commander in chief of the
Russian forces, has not provided for
all contingencies or that he was not
fairly sure Of the safety of his
troops before indicating he had de-
cided to take up a new line. Indeed
the news contained in the Berlin Of
fetal statement that the Germans
have crossed the Vistula river south
east of Warsaw between the Pilica
river and Kozienice, leads military
writer's to the belief that the Rus
slams already have fallen back in
this region, and that perhaps even
the fortress of Ivangorod has been
left to it's fate.
There is no news of the situation
on the Narew river or of Won Bue-
lows wider outf1anking movement
in Kovno province. However, the
opinion is expressed here that as the
German plans contemplate a series
of attacks rather than a simultan-
eous one it is likely they are wait
ing for Won Mackenzen to reach
some previously arranged positions
before they resume attacks.
According to dispatches received
here the country around Warsaw,
which the Russians are leaving to
the invaders has been put to the
torch, while the city itself has been
denuded of everything that might
be of use to the Germans. 1t may
be some days before the Teutons oc-
cupy the Polish capital, if they fin
ally do, for the Russians are fight
ing more than a rear guard action.
In fact, they are still delivering
heavy blows at their opponents and
are gaining some local successes,
on the Narew and south
east of Chelm where they are oppos-
ing the efforts of the Austrians to
get across the Bug.
