The Temple Male Quartet and Miss
QidueYay.

As previously announced the citi-
zens Of River Falls and vicinity will
have tue opportunity on Tuesday
evening next of hearing this cele-
brated company in concert likely to
prove as attractive as any that has
ever been given in our city.
The La Crosse Chronicle has this to
say of them: 1.-THE Temple Quartet
is to-day, and has always been, an ex-
ponent of the best class of concert
music, holding a front-rank place
among platform entertainers"
The Dubuque Times says: "a bet
ter satisfied audience never left hall
than those who were so fortunate as
to hear these people on this, their
first appearance in this city,
Many other press notices as fiatter-
ing as these will be found in the
folder which will be distributed to the
citizens very generally during the
week. In the same folder will be
found some strong recommended ons
Of Miss Ridgeway, who accompanies
the quartet as reader.
Course tickets will be delivered TO
all who have subscribed for them and
to any others who make 1t known
that they are wanted on or before
Saturday of this week, so that all may
have an equal chance to secure re-

will be open at Taggart's on Saturday

The prospects for a very large at

The Flowing Bowl.

The Flowing Bowl was presented to
good sized audience at the Opera
Hall New Years night and provoked a
great deal of genuine fun. For an
Amateur play 1t went off with COM
parative ease and briskness, and what
with the light airs OF the piece itself
and the Quickness of the performers
TO detect the false notes ia sentiment,
it gave as much enjoyment as one
could well expect.
The play was one of that class Of
comedies where everything falls out
most OPPORTUNITY for the people on
the stage, and where, at the end, the
arch villain sinks into oblivion, the
lesser one repents, and all the honest
people are paired off in half circle
behind the falling curtain. There
were plenty of clever characters,
however, and no end of funny situa-
tions. and the actors entered with
spirit into their parts. There were
no delays between acts, and but few
pauses in the midst of the lines.
Moreover. the music in the interludes,
was right pleasant 10 hear and de-
cided credit TO the Amateur Orchestra.
To give an estimate of the indiyidu-
al actors is beyond the province Of
this comment. None were I'M
interesting; several were good indeed.
Cad Dodge filed his old-time role Of
darkey with characteristic cleverness;
and Chas. Love as Major Fitzpatrick
was decidedly original. Edna Chinook
was also very apt as the Widow Nor

New Years Qecaiyinn.

New Years was observed in town
with spirit quite in keeping with
this respectable holiday-a holiday
which, if not the greatest, is assuredly
the first of all the year. 1t had been
announced informally, that two or
three houses would entertain, and the
calling was directed especially to these
points. Other homes were by no
means overlooked, however; for
gentlemen in groups or singly, and
gentlemen accompanied by ladies,
made calls quite generally about the
city. 1t was not the mere fact thai
New Years courtesies were so widely
observed, that made the day rather
notable. but the condition that we have
just mentioned, namely that the
ladies also made calls. Whether this
was simply local arrangement or one
sanctioned by the critics of polite
usage, it seems capital idea and acts
well as a New Years bracer.
The most prominent reception was
that given from three till six at the
home of Mrs. G.. w. Farnsworth, who
was assisted by Mines. Cuthbert, Foil
ansbee, Parker and Misses Cooper,
Pierce and Scott.
The house was nicely decorated with
the flowers and foliage expressive of
the holiday festivals. Holly and
mistletoe adorned the chandelier in
the parlor and over-ran the archway
into the sitting room. In the library
alcove where refreshments were
served, festoons of spruce hung from
the center of the ceiling to the four
corners Of the room. II oily and
misletoe were twined over the arch
and sprigs Of either were fixed to the
portieres and curtains. Hyacinths
and carnations stood upon the table.
For refreshments the guests were
served with coffee, sandwiches, olives
and various kinds Of cake. A large
number of callers, both ladies and
gentlemen, were entertained during
the reception hours. Henry Zophi
acted as usher.
Mr.. and Mrs. Borden received in
formally in the afternoon and served
coffee, waters, ice-cream and cake to
goodly number of people who called.

a Weddinq and Reception.

A quiet wedding was solemnized at
nightfall of New Years eve at the
home of Mrs. Elmira Powell, when
her daughter, Miss Amy, was married
to Mr.. Charles ii. j. Bliss of Minneap-
oils. Only the immediate relatives
and friends of the bride and groom
were present, and the marriage rites
were observed with marked simplicity.
Rev. Chas Mcintosh performed the
ceremony, and Lyman Il. Powell gave
away the bride. During the ceremony
Mrs. Thatcher sang a bridal aria to
which Miss Birdie Powell played the
accompaniment.
Mr.. Bliss is engaged in the iusur-
ance business in Minneapolis with
headquarters in the Bank of Com
merce building. Miss Powell is too
we'll known TO need comment of ours.
A graduate of Carleton and Smith col
leges, she has attained no little dis
tinction as teacher of languages.
Among the guests from out of town
were Mrs. Bliss, mother of the groom,
and Mrs. COnnoyer of Minneapolis,
Mr.. and Mrs. Lyman T. Powell of Su-
perior, Mr.. and Mrs Newell Powell
of Fairmount, N. D., and Mr.. Miller
Of Minneapolis.
Following the wedding a reception
was given from till I, and light re-
freshments served in the dining room.
The single decoration throughout the
house was holly, which was massed
over the arches and banked in conven-
lent hooks, giving the rooms rich
and distinctive tone.
-Four young ladies in white assisted
in the dining room, Misses Constance
Haugen, Pauline Coggshall, Grace
Lusk and Emma Jensen. a lad acted
as usher at the door and two little
girls, daintily dressed, directed the
guests in the upper hall.
Shortly after seven O'Clock the bride
and groom took carriage for Hudson,
and left the marriage scene under a
shower of rice and cheerful greetings.
They will live at 3l12 Ninth Ave. s.,
MINNEAPOLIS.

ANOTHER FIRE
Near the junction of the two E.vers
The Creamery and Barn De-
Sfrovpd

Through some villany or other the
district about the Junction mill
property seems set aside for incendiary
fires. At about one O'Clock on Friday
night the fire bell brought people into
the street or to their upper windows,
to see the familiar sight of red flame
i'm the direction of the Glen. Fire
had broken out in the creamery
building, and with the wind high from
the southwest and the nearest hydrant
fully three blocks distant, seemed
bound to reach the two remaining
warehouses belcr ging to the Junction
mill.
With what speed could be made in
laying and coupling the long line of
hose from Cascade across the bridge
to the creamery, the firemen got a
slender stream to play upon the
burning walls. Then turning to the
nearest end of the wooden warehouse,
once before scorched nigh TO burning,
they wetted the hot walls, while their
coats steamed in the heat, and the
blazing cinders blew sheer through
the staring windows. To save the
building seemed quite out of the
question. The roof was dappled with
red cinders and the air awhirl with
sparks.
A small barn, twenty feet TO the
north of the creamery, was already
ablaze and endangered the adjoining
house. The hose was accordingly
withdrawn from the warehouse to
protect the dwelling, while the
creamery building, now like crack
ling furnace, seemed ready to collapse
upon itself, or to fall forward with
the wind Had it fallen at this
point, it must, perforce, have added
the warehouse to che flames. But the
care f.the firemen in using their
slender stream of water, had kept the
east wall stanch and the near end OF
the warehouse securely wet. When
the house had at length been saved,
therefore, the main fire had somewhat
spent itself, and the firemen had
their own way with the rest.
The creamery was owned by j. X,
Johnson of West Salem, Wis, and was
worth $1,000. 1t was uninsured. The
barn was worth perhaps one hundred
dollars.

characterized the COOKING School held
Tuesday and Wednesday afternoons
in connection with the farmers ms

the school was held, was redolent with
the smells Of good coffee and chicken

apple dumplings in the pan. The
school was under the direction OF Mrs.

ing and delivered the several lectures.
She was provided with roomy plat

surrounded by a gasoline range, a

In Memorjam,

1t is with feelings of deep sadness, that
we record the passing from earth of one
we have loved SO long.
Not sad because she has entered into
the joys of heaven, but because the face
that always smiled upon us, is hidden
from us now, and the hands which often
ministered to our needs are folded so
close. Hermione Rebecca Clark was
born in Chaplin, Conn, March 4, 1913.
Her father died when she was eleven
years of age, soon after which, her
mother, with five children, of whom
Hermione was the oldest, moved to YER
mont.
She lived for a number of years, as
daughter, in the home of her uncle, Rev.
Ammi Nichols. She was married when
20 years of age, in Brookfeld, VT, TO
Asaph Pratt.
Six children were born to them, and
with these they removed to Dover, ILL.,, in
1916. Eight years after, they were
among the first settlers of the st. Croix
Valley.
Mr. and Mrs Pratt and three children
were five of the original members of the
LIST Cong. Church in River Falls. After a
residence here Of 10 years, II sy lived 10
years in Kansas and Illinois, returning
again to this city in 1888. Mr.. Pratt
died III 1889.
Grandma Pratt, as many loved to CO II
her, after weeks OF patient suffering and
waiting, left this earthly tabernacle for
the mansion she knesg was prepared for
her. Tuesday morning, Dec. %.
Four children survive her, Mrs. Persis
Raymond and Dr. s. NJ. Pratt OF Kansas,
Miss Eunice Pratt and Geo. Ed. Pratt
of this city. The other children, Allen
and Orson, were already waiting for
mother in the new home.
Truly mother of the church has left
us. Her faith in God and the Bible
never wavered, and her love for, and
interest in the church and every good.
failed not to the end. "She has kept the
faith, the crown of rejoicing" is hers now.
"God calls our loved ones.
But we lose not wholly what He has given,
They live on earth In thought and deed
As truly as In His heaven"

Gold Mining On the Yukon was the
theme which Frederick j. Currier
unfolded to an interested audience at
the Opera Hall Saturday evening. His
subject matter was so pithy and real
in its nature, and so enlivened by the
charm of personal danger, that it
thrilled the ear like a romance rather
than the two-years' experience of a
neighbor. In the narration of the
boisterous trials through which the
Alaskan miner of to-day really passes,
Mr.. Currier gives US the alluring story
of the gold seekers Of 40, only more
picturesQuely and with an added zest
of personal contact. The long
Journeys, the longer nights, the
fabulous sums collected in a few
months and the huge fees paid for
professional aid and the like, by the
Alaskan miner-lll these lend glamor
to the lecture that cannot be APP
preciated till heard.
In addition to his wealth Of inform
alton, Mr.. Currier showed 4 happy
faculty of expression. His style was
terse, and warmed with vein of
humor. Add TO this, the delightful
series of views picturing the very
scenes where the foot of the lecturer
had trod, and you have an entertain
ment OF the highest merit.

Miss Daley and her assistants gave
program of ten dramatic and
musical mum bers to a small audience
at the Opera Hall Monday evening.
Though the performers were greeted
for the most part by staring seats,
they in no wise lessened their efforts
to please the few interested people
who were present, and succeeded
signally in doing so. Miss Dailey's
work was uniformly finished, and at
no point fell below the standard of a
high artistic taste. That the solos of
her assistants were generally pleasing
was shown by their repeated encores.
Miss Leekley sang in sweet, re-
ponsive voice, with certain pleasing
warmth, and with here and there an
almost impreceptible trill, not unlike
the music of birds. She has winning
presence and deep sincerity of tone.
Miss Phelps, truth to tell, seemed
scarcely to realize the serious posi-
bilities of her art. She handled her
violin cleverly enough, but with a
carelessness that would hardly have
been in good taste even with IT,
banjo.
To any lover of Shakespeare and
Shakespearean acting Miss Dailey's
scenes must have been genuinely
refreshing. Both as Cleopatra and
as Juliet her acting was strong, sure
of stroke and remarkably sustained.
As jean of Arc she was no less
pleasing, even more spirited. In the
poses, which passed all too quickly in
spite of the fact that each required
some little time for its arrangement,
she displayed an ever-varying mood
and an ever-increasing beauty and
grace of delineation,
