Memorial Dav Observed.

The sun rose on Memorial Day with
a clear sky strdded here and there
with cirrus clouds floating in their
peculiar beauty across the azure
heavens. The weather was simply
perfect. Just enough of breeze was
stirring to make it perfectly agreeable
and after our long season of rains, it
seemed peculiarly acceptable.
And soon the people began to
gather on Main street in the
neighborhood of the Grand Army Hall,
the place OF rendezvous. At a little
past ten o'clock the line was formed,
the River Falls Cornet Band under
the able guidance of Drum Major
Thayer, leading the way. Following
them came the speaker of the day,
and then carriages filled with white
robed children carrying in their hands
baskets and bouquets of flowers
These were under the direct control
of the Goddess OF Liberty appropriate.
ly robed to represent her high position.
After these came the Relief Corps In
carriages, following them the members
of the /. N. Nichols Post escorted by
the various civic societies in full
regalia.
Citizens in carriages followed the
procession, reaching almost from Main
street to the cemetery.
We should not overlook in this de-
scription the children of the public
school of the primary grades who
turned out in force to do honor to the
day.
The exercises of the day were
carried out in excellent form.
The reading of war poem by Mrs
Marshall was especially to be noted.
The address of the day by Hon
Allen p. Weld was mastery effort
and an eloquent tribute to the valol
OF the American soldier and the
patriotism OF the people, and was
listened to with marked attention
and evident appreciation by the large
assemblage.
After the regular program the
children escorted by the members OF
the Post laid their floral offering:
upon the green mounds which mark
the resting places of veterans who
have passed away.
The River Falls Amateur Band was
also on hand acting as musicians tC
that procession which was occupied
by the civic societies.
The duty of decorating the graves
completed, the proce Ssion returned il
regular order to the G.. Il. r. Hal
where il was dismissed.

the preliminary arrangements for q
Fourth of July celebration reported
to the adjourned meeting at CAROLS
Hall last night, that the sentiment
among our citizens warranted them
in recommending celebration
$2I5 have been subscribed and S5s
have been offered for stands. II
was determined to have celebration
and the following committee was
appointed to take charge and with
power to appoint the necessary sub
COMMITTEES: J.W. VIM, chairman

Geo. A. Chinook, O. M. White
F. Nj. White. L. Stiles wa
elected treasurer ard w. III. Tozel
secretary. H.. b. Farnsworth wa

of labor.
There is no reason why River
Falls should not have a better
celebration this year than any of the
surrounding cities. 1t is some time
since W. celebrated, and we have il
the mean time helped to swell thu
crowds and receipts of other towns
With such efforts as the committee
will put forth River Falls will thi.
year be able to show her neighbor
ing sisters what an aroused and en-
thusiastic patriotism can do when j
turns itself loose.

burglars.

An attempt was made to burglariZe
the Prairie Mill Office safe last Friday
night by lot OF bungling amateurs.
A stranger, smooth faced, short and
thick-set, came into the office in the
afternoon and asked the favor of the
change for bin Of money. The pro-
prietors thought it little significant
at the time that the man came from
the depot, and on getting his change
went back in that direction. The
burglars broke into the railway
section tool house by prying off the
staple which held the lock, secured
such tools as they supposed they
would need, crow bar, big hammer
anda punch, effected an entrance into
the Prairie Mill warehouse through
the window on the north side, and
broke into the Office by prying off the
casing of the door opening into the
office. With the small sledge hammer
they attempted to break the knob OF
the combination, but failed to ac-
complish this object. Then they broke
off the handle of each of the double
doors, the handles falling out and
leaving half-inch hole through each
door. Through one of these holes
they forced a half pint Of gunpowder.
The bottle containing the gunpowder
was left in the Office. The explosion
of the gunpowder burst off the outer
doors. The charge that blew of these
doors must have intimidated the
burglars for it is evident they did not
return to the Office after the explosion,
as everything was found in such a
condition as to indicate they had
touched nothing in the Office after
this. The explosion blew pane OF
glass from the south window. Within
the outer fire proof doors there is a
thick double stee door, locked at the
top and bottom. These doors were
not damaged, and they could not
have been blown out with powder as
there is large space within. The
burglars we're evidently scared away
bv the noise of the explosion, it being,
as they must have thought, heavy
enough to arouse the neighbors. They
left che tools in the office, together
with dark lantern, consisting Of an
oyster can with hole in the top for a
ventilator, and space cut out of one
side for what light they needed from
small wax candle. A blank book
with some names written within
was dropped on the floor by the
burglars. They secured no booty.
Saturday morning the hand car of
the section was found mile this
side of Hudson tumbled down the
embankment and resting against the
wire fence.
