Hon. ]. ID. PUTNAM,
Chm r. r. Com,
RIVER Falls, Wis.
My Dear Sir:
1t is with the deepest regret that 1
am compelled to inform you, and
through you, the citizens of River
Falls, that have received positive in
structions from the company to aban-
don all further efforts to raise local
aid upon the route via River Falls and
to proceed at once to submit PROPOSE
tions to the several towns upon the
Saltwater route.
feel that owe yourself and our
other faithful friends in River Falls,
few words of explanation relative to
this radical change in the plans of the
company.
AS informed the citizens of your
town in the beginning, our hope of Sc
curing the construction of the road
was based solely upon our faith in our
ability to raise the 100000 of local
aid, which is the condition in our con-
struction contract. Our estimates of
the amount that we could probably
raise have been fully realized upon all
that part of the line between Freeport
and River Falls. Including your town
we have already raised a little over
$3.50, 900, and had our estimate for the
other remaining towns been equally
accurate we would ere this have rails
ed the full amount called for by our
construction contract.
Grave doubts were entertained by
our managers over month ago, as to
our ability to carry the towns of Troy,
Kinnickinnic and Clifton and it was
only upon my most urgent solicitation,
personally urged upon the directors,
that / was allowed another month in
which to carry the aid in these towns.
You are aware how earnest and futile
my efforts have been to do so, and |
have been at last compelled to report
to the company that those towns were
hopeleSsly lost. We cannot longer
jeopardize the success of our enter
prise and, as you can understand, are
absolutely forced to go upon the other
line.
1t is true that some of the most in |
fluential OF our management have al |
ways favored the Saltwater route as
being the best and most desirable |
route for business, but have always |
been a most Jealous advocate of the |
River Falls line, and had it not been |
for the unaecountable apathy and |
short-sightednes of the towns men,
toned, l feel absolutely certain that |
the road would have been loca-
ted through your town. To the lib
eral minded and public spirited citi-
zens of River Falls. and neighboring
towns who have so manfully and zeal
ously stood by me in this effort, de-
sire to express my earnest and heart
felt gratitude. And | beg to assure
them that / shall never cease to exert
whatever influence | may possess to-
ward securing the location of the road
River Falls. If / fail, as i
now fear that shall, it will be be-
cause of circumstances entirely be-
You'd my reach or control.

Gen'l Solicitor. /

Around the heart.

The last and most dangerous form of
rheumatism is that which attacks
the heart. Heretofore there has been
little hope for a patient when the
disease reached this stage. But Mrs.
w. Wellman. of Kingsville, Ohio,
writes as follows: II received the
bottle of ATHLoPHoRoS all right.
Have received more benefit from it
than from any other medicine ever
used. 1t relieved me from all pain
around my heart the first day, and !
went to bed and slept we'll.

When merchants import an article
under their own brand it is a proof
that the article has character. The
very fact that the "Faultless Tea !"
has been added to F. j. Burhyte's

of its merit; but when this Tea has

News has been received that the
city charter has passed both houses,
been signed by the governor and pub
Iished. This makes the act complete
and nothing more remains but the
local act of organizing. AS an amend
ment was made in relation to mode of
conducting the annual elections which
does not appear in the copies circula-
ted in the village it may be well to
explain the method as provided by
the charter. The election in the first
ward, which comprises all that part of
the city lying in st. Croix county, will
be held at the Office of R. r. Bourn,
Esq. The election there will be con-
Quoted in a manner similar to that of
towns. The electors present at the
opening of the polls will choose three
inspectors of election and two clerks
of election. Two ballot boxes will be
used, one for the city election and one
for the judicial election at which
county judge for st. Croix county and
a Judge of the supreme court will be
voted for. at the close of the city
election at 5 p. m. the inspectors and
clerks will canvass the votes and make
two returns, one to be forwarded to
the board of canvassers nominated in
the charter for that purpose and one
to be filed with the city clerk when
such officer is qualified to act. The
city election for all the rest of the city
will be held at the agricultural rooms
of K. L. Lien, Esq, on Maple street.
Here three ballot boxes will be pro-
vided, one for each ward, the number
of the ward plainly designated on
each. One inspector will be chosen
from each ward making a board of
inspectors of three. Three clerks
will also be chosen. Each inspector
will take immediate charge of the
ballot box of his ward and each voter
will deposit his vote in the box be.
longing to his ward. At the close of
the city election the inspectors and
clerks will canvass the votes and make
return of the same, each ward by
itself, to the board of canvassers.
The votes in the judicial election will
be put in one box, which will be in
the care of such inspector as the 9TH
ers may designate. Poll lists will be
kept as in other elections. The board
of canvassers will meet in the same
rooms Immediately after the close of
the city elections and receive the re-
turns and canvass them and determine
the result of the same and give certif-
Gates of election to the various officers
who may be elected.
