STATEMENT FROM PARIS WATER
COMPANY.

August LIST the State Board of
Health made an analysis of water
taken from mains owned and con-
trolled by Water Company and re-
ported water as excellent.
August 2Sth sample of water was
taken from a 4th pipe line some $50
feet long belonging to and controlled
by the L. & N. R. R. Co. This line
was installed some four years ago to
supply tank supplying engines with
water during deficiency in pumping
capacity of the railroad. Since then,
not needing water to supply the tank,
there has been but small quantities
of water drawn from this pipe, and
this 4th pipe line was not flushed
or washed out for many weeks as
meter will show, consequently water

in this dead end became stagnent fol-
want of circulation. 1t was from this
dead end owned and controlled by
the L. & N. the sample of Aug. 2Sth
was taken and found polluted, as
would be the case of any dead end
unless properly and regularly flushed.
There are many improvements to
be made which are designated in
the new contract and which will be
carried out.
The present altering system is in
excellent condition as examination
has shown. The most skilled water
works engineers of the United States
say the life of cast iron pipe such as
is used here will be 100 years.
This is borne out by samples of pipe
dug up after having been in the
ground for 100 years, Philadelphia
being one of the places where this
test was made

NOVEMBER COURT DAY.

Although there was large crowd
in Paris yesterday, November court
day was not very brisk one in the
way of business. There was but lit
tie stock on the market, and only a
few trades were made among the
buyers and sellers.
The farmers were busy discussing
crop prospects, the election Of to-day,
the principal topics being, of course,
the tobacco markets. Merchants re-
port fair sales, but slow collections.
At the stock yards of Caywood &
McClintock, on South Main street.
Mr.. Abb. Hancock held a sale of
three-year-old high grade Shorthorn
and Polled Angus COWS, several with
calves by their sides. One hundred
and twenty-five COWS were sold for
an average of SIS per head. The
sale was largely attended, and the
bidding brisk, buyers being present
from all the surrounding counties.

GERMANS STORM u. S. TRENCH
ES: THREE AMERICANS KILLED

WASHINGTON, Nov. 5.-Armed
forces under the American flag have
had their first clash with German
soldiers in an attack with the Ger
mans made on first line trenches
where the United States troops had
been taken for instruction and three
Americans were killed, five wounded
and twelve captured or missing.
The War Department made this
known on receipt of a dispatch from
General Pershing that the German
forces soon after learning the posi-
lions of the new enemy from over
seas, had launched desperate effort
to overcome them. The Teutonic at
tack came in the form of a heavy
barrage fire which isolated a salient
of the American trench and appar-
entity left small force of Americans
at the mercy of their enemies.
The announcement from General
Pershing gave no names of casual
ties. The announcement also omit
ted to mention whether the trench
had been captured. It is presumed,
however, that the attacking force in
f1icted as much damage as possible in
a short space of time and then re-
treated to the protection Of their own
earthworks before American rein
forcements could arrive.
1.-The War Department has receiv-
ed a dispatch from the commanding
general of the American expedition
airy forces which stated that before
daylight, November 8, salient occu-
pied for instructions by company
of American infantry was raided by
Germans. The enemy put down the
heavy barrage fire, cutting the
salient from the rest OF the men.
Our losses were three killed, five
wounded and twelve captured Or
missing. The enemy losses are not
known. One wounded German pris-
oner was taken"

STATE PRESIDENT w. G. I. u
WON'T SIGN FOOD PLEDGE.

Mrs. Frances E. Beauchamp, State
President of the Kentucky w. G. t.

the U. S. Food Administration.

Mrs. Beauchamp explained that
she did not consider it consistent for
the government to ask the women of
the country to give up necessities as
long as the farm lands could be used
for luXuries.
'rDo you insist on the men giving
up the use of tobacco, before you will
sign" she was asked.

the faculty of the University of
Illinois will be laid before Governor
Lowden and United States officials
by w. H. Herrick, of Bloomington,
ILL.,, agent of the Department of JUS
tice, it has been announced. Her
rick has just concluded an expensive
investigation of conditions in the

Eight members of the faculty and

The board of trustees of the uni
versity quietly dropped from the
faculty four instructors for anti

true, but perfect men do not exist.
But the Democratic party does exist
and will continue to exist. 1t has

Traffic in metals this season has been

Many Plots Frustrated.
Much has been said about the pro-

lions factories, but little has been
printed concerning the equally efficient
protection afforded the ore before it
reaches these industrial plants. This
is the task to which the navy depart
ment at the opening Of navigation on
the lakes last spring assigned Com
mander McMunn. 1t gave him more
than three-score vessels ranging in
size from an Open-speed launch to
1,2OO-ton gunboats. Constant vigilance
on the part of Commander McMunn
and each of his officers and men has
been the price paid to keep the barn
door locked before somebody stole the
horse.
Commander McMunn will talk little

Still another of "Kelly's" more re-
cent stunts was to plant the German
flag on an eminence on the coast line.
It was the first time that the British
and Americans knew just where he
and his men had set foot and they
shared the excitement Of the village
folk, who awoke one morning to find
a new kind of flag flying from their ma
tive soil. At first they could not make
out just what 1t was.
Fishermen Burn German Flag.
But when they made sure that 1t was
the German colors they were furious,
for it so happened, so the story goes,
that the fisherman along this partic<z
ular strip of coast had suffered much
from submarine raids. U-boats had
shelled their boats, Germans had sto-
len their fish-their only means of live
left them empty handed
after a weeks hard catch of mackerel.
These poor fisher folk were In no mood
for this latest display Of German hui
NOR, SO they according to report,
promptly burned the flag and set q
watch for "Kelly."
