River Falls Talent Appreciated

BALDWIN. Wis, April, is, 1894.
Last Wednesday evening was one of
the most pleasant and profitable that
the citizens of Baldwin have had the
opportunity of enjoying for sometime.
A number of River Falls talented
musicians-M Tozer, the Misses
Powell, Mrs. Thatcher, assisted by
Newell Powell and Mrs. Lewis of this
place, gave concert in Opera Hall to
good sized and appreciative audience.
The musical program was interspersed
with recitations by Mrs. III. o. Powell,
who recited from Riley "a Day in
June" "There, Little Girl, Don't
Cry" and "a Musical Family" and
as each was heartily encored it clearly
demonstrated that the people of Bald
win know good thing when they see
or hear it. The kindness of this gift
ed lady did much towards making the
concert genuine success.
The above named person. "Hme here
at their own expense and contributed
the net proceeds of the evening to the
Y. P. S. G. E. of this place, for which
the members of our society are indeed
grateful, and we trust that the OPP
portunity may present itself for us to
reciprocate, not in musical but in
some other way.
Dear friends, although the concert
was nothing to you, financially, yet
this beautiful verse comes to me,

did it unto Me-"

The origin of the compound of salt
peter, charcoal, and sulpher known to
commerce as gunpowder. is very
ancient--in fact so ancient that the
first record we have of its use is by the
Chinese in the ninth century, in the
preparation of fireworks, and as the
propelling force of rockets. Seven
hundred years elapsed before one
human being found that by using it in
an iron tube he could kill his fellow,
for from the sixteenth century dates
the discovery of firearms. Carlysle
says, in '.Sartor Resartus," that the
great benefit of gunpowder is "that it
makes all men equally tall''-for the
purpose of fighting. The more modern
discovery of steam transportation is
men equally speedy in travel. The
sick can move as rapidly as the well,
the old become swift as the young,
while the modern improvements in
safety of operation, and comfortable
ness of surroundings, nearly annihi.
