of dispair over the whole community
early last Wednesday morning when
the spirit of Teckla Josephine Jones
passd to the Great beyond.

WATER SUPPLY OF
CITY INSPECTED AGAIN
Daily Consumption is 10000 CAL
Ions, Thru Six Miles of Mains
and 675 Connections.

The following extracts from a Re-
port on the Water Supply of Will
mar by the Minnesota Board of Health
as received by Health Officer DR.. ]. M.
Rains, under date of April 9, 1918,
may be of interest to the people of the
City:
Field Survey: The public water
supply is obtained from three drilled
wells, each ITS feet in depth, located
in the pumping station. The last in
vestigation was undertaken on Janu-
airy "a, 1917. Well No. 3 has been
installed since the time of the last
Investigation. It is located near the
center of Main street. A concrete
lined tunnel about 3 IL feet in width
leads to the well. The floor slopes
toward the pump pit, thus assuring
the removal Of waste water which
might collect in the tunnel. Other
than the installation of we'll No. 8,
the supply is as described in the re-
port of the last investigation. The
water consumption at the present time
is approximately 100000 gallons per
day, and it is supplied through ap-
proximately six miles of main to 675
service connections.
Three samples Ct water were COL
lected at the source and on the dis
tribution system. The archaeological
examination of these samples shows
the water to be of good sanitary
quality as evidenced by the very low
bacterial counts and the absence of
the B. Coli group in 100 &C. amounts.
The chemical examination shows
relatively hard water free from in
crusting material. The iron content
is high.
Conclusion.
The field survey shows conditions
which are satisfactory from a sanitary
point Of view, and in the analytical
results indications of contamination
were not found. This water supply
is considered safe for public consump-
fi0n

they moved to the old home place
where they have made their home
since. Ten children, six girls and
four boys, have been born to this un-
ion, all of whom are living and at
home. The baby is only about 10
months old which makes the mothers
early departure so hard to bear.
Rev. Findley and Rev. S. O. Susag
conducted the funeral services which
were very impressive. Rev. Susag
spoke in both the English and Norwe-
gian language. Deceased was a mem
Der of the Hawick Presbyterian
church
Deceased is mourned by her grief
stricken husband, ten children, an
aged widowed mother, three brothers
and three sistrs. Her brother Eddie
is serving in Uncle Sans army in
Calafield, Texas, where he enlisted
a couple of months ago, and owing to
the distance was unable to be here in
time for the funeral Besides, these
she is mourned by large number Of
other relatives and friends.
Relatives from a distance attending
the funeral were Mr.. and Mrs. Almon
Coffea of New Ellington, South Dako-
ia; Eve Thomas Of Worden, Montana;
and Fred Adams of Litchfeld.
The pail bearers were Frank Nc
Louth, Charles Johns, Carl and Oscar
Thorson, Fred Deadrick and Hans
Hanson.
A few songs and solo were render
ed. There was a profusion of flowers.
The heartfelt sympathy of all is
extended to the bereaved ones in this,
their hour of great sorrow. 1t is hard
to part with anyone who is near and
dear to us but when the mothers
voice and hand are stilled forever, the
sorrow is indeed great. Peace be to
the departed one.
MRS. J. P. THOMPSON.
Mrs. ]. P. Thompson of Lake An
drew, of whose death en- April % we
mentioned last week, was a member
of the first Swedish colony which set
tied on the shores of Nest Lake, hav-
ing come with her husband to the then
Monongalia county in 1859.
She was a woman of a simple true
and kindhearted nature, so character
istic of the sturdy pioneers of our
county. She was loved by all and
her smiling face beaming with good
will to all will be greatly missed by
friends and those near and dear.
Ella (Oldsdotter) Thompson was
born in Alta, Helsingland Sweden,
July II, 1884. At eighteen years of
age (1852) she came with her folks to
America making her first home in

1854. In 1858, she moved with her
husband to Blue Earth, Mimi, and
1859, they came to this county locat-
ing on a claim in Section 30, Town
of New London. During the Indian
outbreak they fed with other members
of the settlement and made their home
in Goodhue county until 1875 when
they returned. They lived for many
years on a farm one-half mile west of
the Village. In September 1911, her
husband died and a couple of years
later she moved with her son Peter
G. to live on the west shore of Lake

BERLIN. Sept. (via Lcndon) - Today's German official statement reads:
 Between Ypres and Labassee the enemy yesterday pressed forward against our lines. Detachments which had been left behind in the forefield withdrew to these lines in accordance with orders On both sides of Wyts, chaete enemy partial attacks were re- pulsed.
 Between the Scarpe and the Somm the enemy felt his way toward our new line. There have been infantry engagements at our outposts.
 "On the Somme there were artillery activity.
 Between the SOmme and the Disc we continued our movements out of the region of Rove which were recon menced August 26 and during the last we freed ourselves from the en- emy without a fight. Rear guards which were left behind to retard the enemy followed us slowly yesterday afternoon. During the enemy with weak detachments about reached the line of Voyennes-Guiscard-Apilly.

 PARIS, Sept. 5.-The French troops made important advances today both along the Canal Du Nord and north of the Vesle, according to the var office announcement tonight. During the course of the day thirty villages were I etaken along the Ailette river.
 The statement says:
 "Our troops continued their pur- suit of the retreating enemy today along the Canal DU Nord and the Vesle and made an important advance despite resistance at certain points.
 "On the north bank of the Somme canal we hold Falvy and Offroy. To the south we have brought our lines nearer to the road to Ham, along which our front extends from Plessis Patte D. Oie to Berlancourt.
 Southeast of that village our front passes through the outskirts of Guivry and Caillouel-Crepigny, north of Mar and the southern out skirts of Abbecourt. At certain points our advance covered a distance of six kilometers.
 Along the whole Ailette front the enemy, exhausted by hard fighting since the 20th, began about 8 o'clock this afternoon to give way before our troops. Pursuing the German rear guard our troops made rapid progress.

 The statement says:
 "On the southern part of the battle front north and south of Peronne our troops are advancing and driving in the enemy's rear guards They are approaching the high ground on the front between Athies and Nurlu. Be tween Nurlu and the river Sensee mi nor engagements on different parts of the battle front are reported
 Our lines have been advanced slightly on the spur north of Equan- court and local fighting has occurred about Neuville-Bourjonva and Moeu- vres
 South of Marquion our patrols have crossed to the east bank of the canal Du Nord and brought back prisoners from a German post.
 "On the Lys front the enemy again attacked strongly this afternoon on the sector north of hill 63 and was re- pulsed after sharp fighting We push ed our lines forward a short distance during the day south and southeast of Nieuue and northeast of Wulverg- hem"

GRAIN MARKET.

CHICAGO, Sept. 5.-Falling if of notices of country consignments more than counterbalanced in the corn mar. ket today the fact that frost predic' tions had failed. Although unsettled the finish was 1sc to 34c net higher, with September S1.555s and October SL57A to L571z. Oats closed un- changed to sse lower and provisions unchanged to a decline of 75c.
 Selling was of only a scattered sort and the market was easily influenced by indications of lessened arrivals. In this connection the fact that receipts here today were somewhat smalled and that the southwest was drawing supplies from central Iowa presuma- bly, for feeding did a good deal to bring about an upward slant in values during the late transactions, despite the outlook for warmer weather. The Michigan state report, showing a crop condition of- n, against so a month ago, was also bullish factor
 Hedging sales by elevator inaterests acted as a drag on the oats market. Otherwise trade was light.
 Declines in the value of hogs weak ened pork and ribs. Lard, though, was sustained by demand for the cash article.

NEW YORK, Sept. 5.-The restrain ing influence of the local financial in terests was again a potent factor in today's stock market, prices yielding an average of 1 to IF points on a pro nounced curtailment of trading after the moderately active first hour.
 Promise of easler money, as sug- gested by yesterdays slight relaxation, was not fulfilled.
 United States Steel was again the pivot around which the market re- volved. its price fluctuating between 1152s and 113A and closing at HAS, a loss of almost one point.
 Some of the Independent steels and equipments were firmer.
 Oils and tobaccos were again favor ed by pools, mostly at material ad- vances and coppers responded to the better trade outlook, American smelt- ing making an extreme gain of almost two points.
 Rails forfeited early gains at mid day, but came forward again in the final dealings, retrieving the market from it's otherwist irregular tone. To- tai sales amounted to 390,000 shares.
 Gains of to 1O19 points in some of the underlying issues of the New Haven road and its subsidiaries were the striking features of the bond mar ket, investment issues holding steady to firm. Total sales par value aggrer gated S7.450,000 Old United States bonds were unchanged on call.

JAPANESE OFFICIAL.

TOXIC, Thursday, Aug. 29.-(By The Associated Press. s.)-Reporting the military operations of the entente allied forces in Siberia an official statement issued by the Japanese war office today says:
 The right column of our troops, pursuing the enemy beyond the Uye- raya river. halted on Aug. 26 at Medou- Jiya, ten miles east of Simakoff. Our left column occupied the eminence north of SiInakoff. Our center, reach ing Simakoff, stopped there.
 Our troops were nearly in the same formation on Aug. 2. On that day they were engaged in reconnaissance. re- pairing the bridge and making other preparations.

North of the Ailette Pierremande and Autreville are in our possession as we'll as the greater part of the lower forest or Coucy.
 Further east we occupied Folem- bray, Coucy-Le-Chateau and Coucy Le- Vile. We have advanced to within about a kilOmeter south of Fresnes.
 "On the right our front passes east of LandricOurt.
 South of the Aiiette we hold the line of Neuville-Sur-Margival, Vregny and the western slopes of Fort Condo More than thirty villages were retaken in the course of the day on this part of the front

tack on Laon, the Chemin Des Danes and the western Aisne defenses of. the enemy.
 Seemingly at the present rate of progress this barrier shortly will have been overcome and indeed the entire salient northwest of Soissons obliter- ated. Already the French south of Frespes, on the Fringe of the high forest of Coucy, have penetrated the old Hindenburg line.
 All behind the lines northeast of Noyon great conflagrations are to be seen, particularly around Jussy and La Fere, which apparently indicates that the Germans intend to fall back as fast as they can to the old German lines running southeastward from St Quentin. The French and Americans are hard after the Germans between the Vesle river and the Aisne and for more than eight miles, extending from Condo to Viel-Arcy, they have driven the enemy across the Aisne and are standing on the southern bank of the river. Eastward toward Rheims. all most up to the gates of the cathedral city. the German line is falling back northward. At the Anchor point of the line in the vicinity of Rheims, however, the Germans seem to be helding, evidently realizing that ret rograde movement here would necessi- tate a strengthening of their line per haps as far eastward as Verdun.
 In the initial maneuver to the re- treat along the Vesle front the Ameri- cans and French captured both Ba- zaches and Fismet From Bazoches they moved six miles northward to Viel-Arcy, while from FIsmette they have penetrated more than three miles northward to Barbonval, which is only a little more than a mile south of the Aisne.
 In flanders the British have taken the town of Ploegstert and positions southwest of Messines and northeast of Wulverghem and repulsed strong counter attacks launched against them.
 Southeast of Arras all the way down the line to the south of the Somme more deeply into the enemy's front on various sectors, especially toward Cambrai, and immediately north and south of Peronne. in the latter region having driven in the enemy's rear guards for considerable distances.
 The Germans have been violently the Americans at Frapelle. on the eastern end of the battle front in Lorraine but have attempted no in- fantry attacks. More than 5000 shells many of them gas. have been sent into the American line by the enemy.

 he enemy delivered a counter at tack north of hill 63, but was repulsed. British posts are reported to have been established further south on the banks of the Labssee canal.
 The German retrograd movement here appears to be partly voluntary. induced by the recent operations south of the Scarpe and partly the result of local attacks. in which positions of strategical importance were gained by the British.
