in removing foreign bodies from the
eye, is ofter said to be "aliye," be-
cause it moves about when put in
vinegar. AS fact it is composed of
calcareous material, which when
placed in the acid is made to move by
cNbonic acid gas evolved from con
tact with the liquid. The eye-stone
is the front door, as it were, to the
shell OF little molluscous animal OF

his snowy hair and stately, dignified
manner, was an impressive picture as
he bowed right and left to the warm
salutations OF his townsmen.

substantial stone building for their
own occupation, which they intend to
make as complete place for storing
and distributing meat food as can be
found in any city. 1t will be provided
with every convenience for preserving
in a wholesome condition large stock
of everything belonging to first-class
market, and every care will be taken
to have its every appointment of the
very best character.
The ground adjoining, on which the
furniture store stood, will soon be
occupied by brick and stone building
to be built by the owner Of the ground,
Mr.. Z. ii. Daniels, and so constructed
as to provide room for two mercantile
establishments; one dry goods store
to be carried on by Mr.. Daniels son,
and the other to be occupied by Avery
& Son as book, stationery, and gen.
eral variety store.
All these buildings are being built
of brick and stone mostly, hence they
are subtantial improvements calling
for large investment of money, and
thereby showing the faith of the in
vestors.
There are many other minor i'm
provements going on which go to show
that our people are not timid and have
an abiding confidence in our future.
and are we'll pleased with River Falls
as home.
While these private enterprises are
on foot it is a wholesome sign to see
the authorities grading up and i'm
proving the streets, laying sidewalks.
constructing substantial drains to re-
lieve the streets of water in rainy
weather, thus contributing to the
beauty, prosperity and attractiveness
of the city. All these are signs of
prosperity which must attract atten-
ton and bring to our midst those who
are seeking pleasant homes at mod
crate prices, where they can have
good social, religious and educational
advantages; and as these advantages
are above par in River Falls, and the
city itself very attractive, every citi.
zen, and especially the property own
ere should not forget that proper
representation of the facts in the case,
and proper price placed on property
now will add many good citizens to
our present population and enhance
the value of property, and give pros
perity to future years not now hoped
for or anticinated.

"Who's That7"

The above interrogatory exclamation
is often heard on our streets nova
days, occasioned by the numerous
strangers seen among us at the pres
ent time.
Although River Falls Is not adver-
tised as resort, and has not improved
its opportunities as it should have
done, still our summers do not pass
without bringing goodly number of
visitors here to enjoy our healthful eli
mate and beautiful scenery, and seek
in our groves, and beside our streams
and waterfalls that relaxation and rec
reatiOn more abundantly afforded here
than in the more noted resorts, where
throngs of people destroy rest and re-
cuperation. Why the discoveries of
River Falls did not seize the South
Fork with its cascades" and "falls''
and deep gorge, and dedicate it with
sufficient adjoining land to tired hu-
manity for purposes of pleasure. and
why their defendants have not long
since converted the self same cascades
and surrounding land into beautiful
park and thus have secured for this
city a resort more beautiful than
Minnehaha, is hard to conjecture, but
we can rejoice that it is largely in a
state of nature still, and affords a
taste of what "might have BEEN" 1t
is pleasant walk down to the falls
and to the junction of the streams
among the trees, underneath the old
pines that stand as grim sentinels on
the bank of the gorge, and this, with
the pleasant drives around the city in
every direction in connection with
the pretty city itself, brings visitors
here every summer, and would bring
many more were not our citizens a
little too modest to let it be known
what inducements we have for seekers
of rest and recreation in the way of
scenery, hotels, livery service, and In
all needful things, for which weary
humanity seeks when real rest and
quiet enjoyment are desired.

ANNOUNCEMENT.

Following the example Of the leading New
YORK and Chicago daiues, the price of the Pho
neer Press WILL from this day forth. be reduced
10 eight dollars per year for the daily and TO ten
dollars for the daily and SUNDAY issues with
corresponding reductions for fractional parts of
II year This reduction Is not made in response
10 any public demand or TO any complaint of
the subscribers Of the Pioneer Press that il has
stood alone in the Northwest in adhering to the
higher prices till recently standard with all the
great dailies. On the contrary, il is the unani-
nous testimony of the agents and circulators Of
the Pioneer Press that its great superiority over
all other newspapers in Is field Is so manifest
and so universally conceded that the question OF
price is never raised. No more conclusive proof
could be given of the strong hold which the
Pioneer Press has acquired upon public favor
by its recognized superiority in every depart
ment of journalism than the cOmplet, failure OF
cut-thrOat competition 10 make any impression
upon the solid phalanx ofits circulation. But
the Pioneer Press is not content to maintain its
circulation unimpaired. BY offering paper
vastly superior 10 any of its local competitors at
the reduced price announced to-day, il hopes 10
add many new subscribers % its already mag
nihcent list. In common with the leading al
lies OF New York and Chicago, il recognizes the
fact that this Is an era of low prices, and il
it TO its large and generous constituency and to
the entire public to furnish them the leading
newspaper Of this great Northwestern empire at
least as cheaply as the leading newspapers of
Chicago are furnished TO their readers il owes
them the further duty while reducing the price,
of maintaining the high standard Of the Pioneer
Press. Ii will do more than this twill furnish
its readers a better paper for less money than
heretofore. 1t proposes 10 deserve not only the
support has been receiving, but large and
substantial increase Of popular favor.

The city authorities have received
and have on trial a new 50-gallOn
chemical engine for the use of the
Fire Department of the city. On
Saturday evening last the new machine
was put on trial, the effort being made
to put out fire gotten up for the
occasion. The material used for max
ing the fire was old pine planks satu-
rated with kerosene, and the fire
was lively enough to satisfy the most
exacting. But the little machine
failed to do its work, and the fire won
the cheat" Thinking that the fault
was not in the machine but in the
management, an expert was sent for
and after his arrival yesterday P. NJ.
preparations were made for another
test which took place last night with
better results, although not entirely
satisfactory. The machine is not of
sufficient capacity, and will be re-
turned.
1t appears by the call of the COM
mittee for county convention, in
another column, that the town and
city are Jumped, and apportioned
10 delegates. This arises from the
fact that the organization of the city
occurred since the last general cleo
ton, and hence the committee had no
data before them for apportioning the
number that the territory was entitled
to. IL is left, then, to adjust among
ourselves. AS it is impracticable to
have a conference in the premises, we
venture TO suggest a division, which
no one Directing to may be considered
as accepted. 1t is, of course, impossi-
BILE to determine how many tnat voted
at the last general election were from
each of the present divisions of the
territory. We are driven, then, to
the vote of last spring as the best
evidence of the voting strength of
each locality, and as there is no way
10 determine what the politics of the
voters was, we are compelled to as
sumo that the same percentage Of the
voters OF each precinct was Republi.
can. The vote was as follows: Town,
l54: City.-2d ward, $50; Sd ward, "a;
4th ward, o.. Total in city, 34l; total
in city and town, 495. Now. an ag-
gregste delegation of ten makes so
the number of voters to entitle to a
delegate. Giving each precinct dele.
gate for every so voters. and one for
every fraction Of more than one-half
of fifty, we have for the town dele
gates; for the I'd ward, 4; for the Sd
ward, /; and for the 4th ward,2
