The DIR. is big fellow, dignified but

The Seniors met recently and
elected for the ensuing year as fol-

heard boy squeal:
Prof. Clark has taken the geomet-
ries away from his classes. The theo-
rems and a few hints upon the dem
onstrations are given, but in the main
the students are held responsible for
original demonstrations. Herein lies
the real value of geometry. Such
course makes the subject one of rea-
son and not of mere memory. The
students are to be congratulated.
Mr.. Sheridan, president of the visit

DIED.


WIGER-At her home in this city, March
lst, 1897, of Pneumonia, Mrs. n. FL.
Wiger, aged 81 years, Z months and %
days.
Mrs. Wiger, to whose earthly life,
already divided between two worlds, the
old and the new, has been added the in
comparable blessings of a life beyond
the spiritual seas, was a native of the
land of Thor. Born in MEDIUM, Norway,
July Sth, 1914, she inherited the quality
OF serene and kindly vigor, that dis
tinguished her conduct through life.
Her father Chris. Lobben, died while
she was yet but eight years old; but her
mother, who comes of race remarkable
for its longevity, accompanied her to
America and still survives, at the ripe
aged Of "a. In 1865 Mr.. and Mrs. Wiger
were married, and in 80 Mr.. Wiger came
to America, and made ready the home
which welcomed. the following year,
Mrs. Wiger and her mother, and little
son three years old, who died Aug II,
1870, within three weeks of the family's
arrival. Mrs. Wiger's life in River Falls
has been signally happy and contented;
a member of the Lutheran church, her
social activities were as a rule limited to
the homes of her own countrymen, but
her friends were as many as her acquaint-
ances, and her cheerful virtues ave
won her wealth of admiration. Year
in and year out. she has been to her
husband, her children and her aged
mother, the center of undivided devotion.
Her illness, a second attack of pneu-
monia, began only last Tuesday, and up
to the day of her death. six days later,
high hope was entertained for her re-
covery. She died suddenly, but quietly,
and with smile upon her lips.
The funeral was held yesterday at the
home on Second street where she had
spent % years of her married life. Rev.
Haugen of Lawton, gave short address
in the Norwegian tongue, and Rev. Nc
Intosh added words of comfort in English.
Mr. and Mrs. Martin Norseng and Gilbert
Norseng, sang a requiem in Norwegian,
and Mrs Powell and Mr.. Pratt closed the
ceremony by singing hymn.
Beautiful floral tributes lay about the
casket and filed the room with sweet
odors. From the Modern Woodmen a
wide wreath of white roses, hyacinths
and lilies of the valley, was sent in token
of remembrance and sympathy, and
from the High School, The Royal
The Norwegian Sewing
Society, Miss Rachel elson, Mrs. Jensen,
Mrs. Chinook, Mrs. ]. p. Carroll, Mrs.
Nellie Drolson Of Hudson, and members
Of the Lutheran church, came other deli
cate tributes.
Twenty-six teams followed the hearse
away from the ceremony, and at little
before three, in great glory of Gods
sunlight and the sparkling snow. Mrs.
wiger was laid to rest in Greenwood

Mr.. James Jones, of the drug firm

The Amateur Band gave their
second concert Friday evening, and
charmed the public ear with a new list
of harmonies. The night was sever "
cold, and many who bought tickets
preferred the quiet and warmth of
their fire-sides to the accomplished
lights of the boys Band, on the icy
floors of the Opera Hall. The chairs
were quite generally filled, however,
and the Amateurs and their assist
ants, by music and defamation, soon
made the atmosphere very cheerful.
1t was noticeable at the start that
the cornet music had immensely i'm
proved, and in such pieces as The
Double Eagle, where the theme is
often fine and pure, and six comets
played in eloquent unison. Thus, the
numbers on this second program
possessed a distinct color that was
utterly lacking in the resonant bang
of the first effort. Then, too, all
along the line, the boys, have improved
in SureneSS of stroke and fleXibility of
tone. There was less tagging on the
part of single instruments. and more
restraint in the subdued passages.
To Frank White, who has had the
band almost exclusively in charge, is
due the warmest commentator as a
leader. That he should martial
company of unframed boys. many of
whom knew nothing of band instru-
ments or of musical notes. into an
organization that has twice appeared
in a public concert, and given uniform
satisfaction, is praiseworthy, if not
remarkable. accom- plishment.
Miss Marie Tossing, who played two
piano solos and the piano accumpani-
ments, was warmly encored for her
sensitive Interpretation. Little Mar
guerette Foley made pretty appear
ance in her song.
A speciality not down on the program,
but one OF the most appreciated of
the evening was the medley recitation
by Charles Purves, followed by a
dialect recital of how Left Erickson
discovered America. Each of these
was aptly rendered, and won a rafting
burst of applause. The program
closed with tableau Of the landing
of father Christopher.

In an address delivered on Washing
toms birthday to the students Of the
University of Chicago Mr.. Robert NJ.
La Toilette of Madison, this state,
used the following vigorous and
pertinent language as to the evils
that threaten the life of the nation
and the morals of its citizens:
1.-THE modern political machine is
impersonal, irresponsible, eXtra-legal.
The courts offer no redress for the
rights it violates or for the wrongs it
inflicts. 1t is without conscience and
without remorse; il has come to be en-
throned in American politics. 1t
rules caucuses, names delegates,
appoints committees, dominates the
councils of the party, dictates nOmi-
nations, makes platforms, diSpenses
patronage, directs state administra-
tiOns, controls Legislatures, stiles
opposition, Furnishes independence,
and elects United States Senators. If
a popular revolt sweeps over the state
on rare occasions, and the machine
finds itself hard pressed TO maintain
its hold on the party organization,
control conventions, and nominate its
candidates, when threats and promises
fail, the barrel is not wanting and
the way is cleared.
Grave danger lies not in waiting
for this great republic to destroy its
life or change its character by force of
arms. The shock and heat of collision
will ever rouse and solidify patriotic
citizenship in defense of American
liberty. 1t is the lnsidious, creeping,
lo
sents the greatest peril.
1.-The machine-this invisible en-
pire-does its work so quietly. There
is no explus' IN. no clash Of arms, no
open rebelliCn. but a sly, covert null
LITIGATION of the highest law of the
land. 1t is government of the
people, for the machine, by the
machine 1t is controlled by adroit,
skilled, talented men, schooled in
practical politics, and in the begin
ming IL had the sem blance of serving
its party: il ended by masteringit.
ITO remedy this evil we must go
back TO the beginning; go back to the
first principles Of democracy: 60 back
to the people. Substitute for the
caucus and the conyen tion a primary
election. held under the sanctions OF
laws which prevail at the general cleo
tions-where the citizen may cast his
vote directly TO nominate the candi-
date of the party with which he
affiliates, and have it canvassed and
returned just as he cast it.
Provide a means o. plac. 2 the
candidates in nomination before the
primary and forestall the creation of
a new caucus system back of the
primary election.
Under severe penalties for viola
tion of the law prohibit electiOneering
in and about the election booth,
punish bribery and the attempt to
bride, and protect fully the canvass
and return of the votes cast.

political machine has sounded in the

Each IN a g0ssamer shroud,

All on a lavender cl0ud.
All on lavender cloud went we,
Singing i salors tune,
As we climbed the crests OF the misty sea
That SWAIN 10 the shoreless moon.
And We TANGLED our hands in the twnkling foam
As over the waves we leaned,
While low-yo-hO Ito the leeward comb

Then straight and away to the moon 5 red rim,
ON the swirl of the pale gilt sea-
Aye, straight and away, while our ewes grew dim
And the lights burned low the lee
But the face of the moon was a dark, dark face,
Tho the MONDAY sun shone there,
And the man In the moon--we found no trace
OF his smile or his tangled hair.
So, baflled at sight of the fields of gray
Batiled and broken and sad
We sat ourselves down al the turn Of the way
a lofn little lady and lad.
"oh, it's plain that the moon has mash, rsaid /.
"For no light Of her own sheds she:
And the man in the moon must be securing the
With The top of tamarack tree"
But Wena looked once on the eye of the sun,
And cried through her sorrowful frown:
ION, where are our people, and what have we
Pray LET us set sail and go down"
So back on our lavender cloud we sped,
Sorrowing, Wena and l.,
And the cloud ran wet with the tears that we
shed,
Sailing down out of the sky
But Wena sangup to the moon from affair
