A Pleasant Surprise.

On Monday Mr.. ID. W. Currier was
much surprised when the following
persons came to his home and in no
melancholic mood, viz, William New
comb and wife; John +. Currier, wife
and children; Mrs. Albert Currier her
daughter Miss Myrtle and son Earnest;
Mrs. Walter B. Currier and children
and Kimball Currier and wife. Others
invited were unable to be present.
Quite mysteriously ~ they had learn.
ed that the day was the birthday of
their astonished host. A bountiful
feast emerged from secret places, and
and after a very joyous visit with
heartiest congratulations and good
wishes they dispersed and it gradually
dawned upon the recipient that his
wife had succeeded in planning and
bringing to a happy consumation a
real and most enjoyable surprise.

The Weather.

People are more particular about
the weather than about their health if
we may judge them by the remarks
they make. Seldom is any one found
commencing the weather at any time
of the year. IL is either too hot or
too cold, too wet or too dry. There
seems to have been more than usual
complaint the past season about the
unfavorable conditions of the weather,
and what is especially remarkable in
regard to these complaints is that
people are agreed in reference to their
disapproval-it is both too hot and
too dry. Too hot for comfort and too
dry for profit. The pastures are brown
and where there is sufficient grass on
the ground would burn as readily as
after the grass had been killed and
dried by frost. Farm work is retard-
ed by the difficulty of blowing and the
impossibility for grains to terminate
if sown. Farmers are generally cut
ting and shocking corn which is below
an average crop. The grain is hard
and fairly well filled on the ear but many
more stalks than usual bear no ears.
| In view of the absence of grass and the
poor prospect for any to start up to be
| of much use for feed it becomes the
thrifty farmer to save his corn fodder
| for stock feed. Potato vines are gen.
orally green and strong but the tubers
are mostly unripe, small and few.
The prospect for fair price compar.
ed with most years is good. A peculi.
arity of this long droutb, accompanied
as it has been with exceptional heat is
the fact that wells and springs hold
out so well, there being but little
shrinkage in the water supply appar.
eut. This condition that afllicts us
here-hot and dry-is general through
the United States and Europe. Farm
ers are necessitated to feed corn fod.
der and hay at this time and the
probability is that all will need to
feed very much more of their hay crop
than usual There will not be much
of a surplus for sale. Hay should be
higher. But it seems nothing is high
that the farmer bias unless it is the
experience he is getting under a true
blue democratic administration.

The High School.


The Fall term of the High School
commences next Monday, the 18th.
for a session of fourteen weeks.
Every thing is in readiness for the
reception OF pupils. Such repairs as
were necessary have been attended to,
the rooms have been thoroughly
cleaned and look as neat as the deft
hand of the efficient janitor could
make them, and he has the reputation
of being a paragon of neatness.
THE TEACHERS.
Howard l.. Wilson, A. NJ, assisted
by Miss Opal Mershon, will conduct
the High School proper. Mr.. Wilson
will also be the superintendent of the
teachers in the different grades. Miss
Belle Frye, Miss Anna Whip, Miss
Julia Anderson and Miss Sadie Camp
bell will resume in their old positions.
Miss Genie Rollins takes the place so
successfully filed by her sister Hor-
tense in the First Primary. Miss Eta
Harnsberger succeeds Miss Goodelle in
the First Grammar department. All
these persons are teachers of success.
full experience and we believe are
among the very best in the profession.
Mr.. Wilson is a thorough scholar, a
graduate of the Indiana State Uni
versity, receiving the degrees of A. B..
and A. NJ. from that celebrated uni
versity. He has also taken post gradu-
ate work in Cornell University study.
ing Political Science and History. Mr..
Wilson'S experience in teaching has
been highly commended from every To-
cality where he has been working as
teacher. He comes from recent work
i'm Rensselaer,, Ind, where he was supt.
of the schools for three years. Miss
Mershon comes to US with flattering
testimonials as TO her scholarship, her
experience in the school room, and her
social qualities. She is a graduate of
the classical course of Keokuk High
School, and has taken a special course
in the Northwestern University at
Evanston, Illinois. Miss Harnsberger
Is graduate in the advanced course
of the River Falls Normal School and
has taught with marked success at
Cumberland, Wis, and at other places.
Miss Rollins has done satisfactory
work in the grade of work she takes
at Ashland.
The board have exercised their best
judgment after careful investigation
regarding the fitness of the numerous
applicants for the positions to be filed.
Til school will open under most favora-
BILE opportunities and prospects for a
profitable year of work. The teachers
holding their old positions need no
introduction to the patrons of the
school. We heard no complaints and
we believed their places could not be
better filled by others.
We commend these teachers in their
difficult and laborious situations to the
favorable consideration of this hos
pitable community. Give them your
support, your encouragement by your
friendly greeting, your appreciation of
their zeal by visiting the schools, by a
kindly word when you meet them, and
by your patronage in the prompt and
continuous attendance of the children
upon the sessions and duties of the
school room.

Positively the Biggest Bargains
Ever Offered in River Falls
The Beet Sugar Business.

In opposing the bounty policy of en-
couraging the making of sugar the
Democrats are wont to charge that
the bounty system is contribution to
capital that merely make rich men
richer without giving any benefit to
the consumer. They scout all figuring
as to the cost of sugar machinery and
factories, and the risks of such under
takings; it does not suit their purpose
to go into detail. The report of the
second seasons work at the Govern.
ment Sugar. Beet Experiment Station,
at Schuyler, Neb.. is encouraging as
to the future of the industry, but it
does not Indicate that anybody is 60
ing to get rapidly and remarkably rich
in the business. The result per acre
in beets was 1873 tons, as against l7.5
tons at the experiment station at Cap
ellie, France: and the result in sugar
respectively 5.430 pounds and 1896
pounds. Tue beet sugar business in
the old country is not a remarkably
lucrative one, because competition
keeps the price at level that allows
only a small margin of profit. If it
were not for the bounty it would be
simply out of the question for us to
attempt to make beet sugar, because
of the difference between wages in
Europe and the United States.
The report from the Schuyler sta
ton shows that the estimates of the
profit in beet culture when the busi-
ness was first mooted were too high.
According to demonstration at the
government works it costs $50. % per
acre to produce beets valued at S63. 20
an acre, leaving profit for the grow
er of 1902 an acre. The horse and
manual labor employed at the station
was paid for at the regular market
price, and consequently the cost per
acre was larger than it would be for
the farmer who worked himself with
his own team.-EUening WiscORSiR.

evangelist PieTson continues undated.
The Congregational church is filled
every night with and appreeiative
audience. a special item of interest
is indicated by general closing of
stores and places of business at
O'Clock in the evening. Many are
manifesting a desire to know of the
doctrine preached and much good is
undoubtedly being accomplished under
the direction of the christian people OF
this city and vicinity. The meetings
held at Opera Hall last Sunday were
largely attended; at the one announced
for the evening the Hall was filled
with an audience of men only. The
song service is attractive in itself, and
Mr.. Pierson holds the attention of his
audience through all his discourses.

VANDALISM unknown vandal

maliciously destroyed and injured
about 20 grave stones and monuments.
lie seems TO have worked without any
definite design attacking such as came
in his way at random. Most of the In.
iured stones were slabs which he
pushed over and which broke by the
fall. Some nice monuments were
however badly injured. All seem to
have been injured by being thrown
over ana falling either broke or were
splintered. As we hear by the papers
that a like vandalism has occurred at
Hudson, Mankato. Red Wing, Still
water and other places it would seem
that some maniac is travelling through
the country intent on this class OF
malicious mischief. The monuments
and grave stones suffering the most
serious injury are as follows:
On lot of Mrs. Smalley, stone broken.
Monument on the Collins lot, an urn
/ broken. on lot of Mrs. Pierce, stone
broken. ON lot formerly owned by
Arthur Childs, two stones ruined
Monument of Samuel Pratt family
