FOOT BALL.
First Game of the Season. New
Richmond High School, II,
River Falls Highs, 10

Such was the result of the game
played on the Normal campus in this
city between the above named teams
last Saturday. 1t was the cleanest,
prettiest, most scientific, most closely
contested game ever played in this
section 1t demonstrated anew that
the game, while rough, is not of it's
self brutal The game was arranged
for by telephone Friday, and the short
notice resulted in a small crowd. The
schools are old-time rivals, and those
best posted predicted a very close
game. They got it, The day was
perfect one. River Falls won the
toss, aud chose the east goal. Epley
for Richmond kicked over the goal
line, and the Falls brought it back ito
the 25 yd. line for a scrimmage. On
the first plunge through the line Nor
gan allowed the ball to be stolen from
him by Richmond, who began a series
of rapid end plays that very soon sent
Guisness around the end for touch
down. Epley failed at goal. Score 3
to 0 in favor of Richmond. Falls
kicked off, and for a few minutes it
looked as though the score of last year,
80 TO Q in favor of Richmond might
be repeated. At their 80 yd. line
Falls took brace, got the ball on
downs, and started up the field.
Richmond couldn't hold them, and in
very few minutes Jensen was push
ed over the goal for touchdown.
He failed goal, and the score was to
5, where 1t remained when the half
ended In the second half Falls kick
ed off, held Richmond for downs and
lost the ball on a tumble, repeated
the process, ditto, tried it again, then
Epley got around the end for a long
run, followed by one by Sweeny which
brought a touchdown, and Epley
kicked goal, making the score IL TO 3
in favor of Richmond. Falls kicked
off again, got the balls on downs, tore
the line open for gain, rolled around
guard Morgan through the line for a
Is yd. run to touchdown. Jensen
failed at goal, and the game was over,
score IL to 10, favor of Richmond.
River Falls lost the ball and game on
fumbles. They held Richmond, but
were never held by them. They push
ed Richmond, but were seldom push
ed by them. They broke up most of
Richmond's end runs, but had little
success with their own. Their team
averaged lbs. heavier than Rich
mond's, and were some slower. Both
teams we're well trained, but Rich
mond better so, most of their players
being veterans, while the Falls team
was nearly all recruits. The ball was
in Richmond's territory three-fourths
of the time, but continual fumbling
lost it. Following is the lineup of
the two teams:

The Art Fund Entertainment.

Tho entertainment given on Fri
day evening last by the ladies of the
Tuesday Club was attended by quite
large audience Of appreciatiye
people. While the ladies' were some
what disappointed in the result Of
their efforts, the church not being full
and hence the financial results not
very large, they had no reason to feel
any sense of disappointment in the
way in which the entertainment was
enjoyed by those who had the good
fortune to be present. The differer +
persons having parts in the entertain
ment received hearty applause and
the children especially did well.
giving as it did an insight into the
works Of poet whose writings are
not SO generally known as they de-
serve but who stands high among the
poets Of the great West. The work
of the evening proved that River Falls
ladies can when they choose to do so
provide an evening Of entertainment
in literary work worth much more
than the ordinary run OF amusements
and one which can combine both
am usement and instruction, and it is
to be regretted that the people at
large do, not more fully appreciate
their efforts in this regard.
1t is not to be understood by this
that there was slim audience, on
the contrary, the body Of the church
was well filed and the receipts, near
ly thirty dollars, show that the house
was practically good one, but in
view Of the number Of people inter
ested in the public school and that
the object to be attained was to pro-
vide something Of permanent adyan-
tage to the school the ladies should
have had full house to reward them
| for their trouble.
There is no doubt that to those who
were present another entertainment
| Of similar character would be very
welcome and perhaps better attended.

Frank Chapman hospital steward
of the 3rd Wisconsin Volunteers, ar
rived home from Porto Rico Friday.
He has been suffering from malarial
fever and is now in a bad state Of
health through the weakening influ-
ences of the disease in an enervating
climate. The invigorating air Of
Wisconsin with a mothers care and
attention will make q new man of
him In a few weeks. Several other
members Of the regiment besides
Frank came home on a thirty-day
furlough, all suffering from sickness
contracted in Porto Rico The boys
think home conf forts and home fare
an improvement upon conditions in
Uncle Sans army. Judging from
the statements of these boys cOndi-
tious were aggravated for the worse
by want of proper attention from
officials. There certainly should have
been no lack Of nourishing food and
no suffering through lack Of proper
accommodations. The United States
government is lavish of all things
needful to give care and comfort 10
its soldiers and if these do not reach
them there is something wrong in
official competency.

Public School Notes.

Our reporter has been on strike
this week, and news items are scarce.
The school year is one-siXth gone.
Is the work one-sixth done?
The high school will subscribe for
the daily Cardinal" the organ Of
the University at Madison.
Even the little tots can learn to put
on paper reproductions Of what they
see, as is evidenced by the drawing of
some of the first primary pupils in
charge Of Miss Andrus.
Mrs. w. l.. Bceman was a visitor at
the school one day this week.
Foot ball players should keep their
heads, and feet as well, especially in
the school room.
The physics class has been taking
practical lessons in falling bodies.
Much Of the topic work in history,
besides being profitable to the class,
is intensely interesting to others.
The foot ball team is defeated but
not cast down. Hammond having
failed them, they arranged game
with New Richmond for last Saturday
and were defeated IL to TO- However,
they think they played better game
than any other team that ever repre-
sented the school and after the differ
ent players have learned how not to
tumble they will be ready for all
corners.
The reception rendered the two
foot ball teams after the game Sat
urbay by the young ladies Of the high
school was one of the notable events
Of the season, Odd Fellows hall was
tastefully draped with the colors Of
the two schools, and the tables were
bountifully spread with a feast that
was fit for kings. The evening was
most pleasant one to all concerned,
especially to the wearied knights Of
the grid-iron. The management of
the affair showed talent and taste of
a high degree, and it is safe to say
that the boys will not forget the
evening for long days to come.
The thanks of the high school are
due the Normal students for their
loyal support, financial and other
wise, last Saturday.
The high school met its second de-
feat last night, this time at the hands
of the Normal, the score being II to
0, Normals' gains were all made in
the first half, and though the highs
had the best of it the second half,
they couldn't push fast enough. 1t
is only fair to say that high had three
new men in the lineup, and that
they played without practice since
the Saturday game. This makes the
schools a tie on games. Watch for
the rubber. Some people may have
thought that the highs were dlssatisti-
ed with the game Well they were,
with the result, but they have no
fault to find with the officials or OPP
ponents, and are taking their defeat
with a smile, trusting to the future
to bring them better luck. Mean
while, they will say nothing, but
saw wood.

We see much nursery stock is being
taken out Of town By farmers. The
indifferent success in raising apples in
this locality in years past is believed
to he attributed to stock not adapted
to the climate. Harder varieties are
being cultivated and the abundance
of fruit raised in Pierce county the
past year is evidence that certain
varieties are a success.

would have been oyerawed, but the
presence of a score of soldiers only
tempted the redskins to shoot them.

Quite carefully, in order that the
party most interested might not
come to the knowledge of the con-
spiracy, it was whispered among the
business men Of the city that it would
be but fitting courtesy to President
Parker to make an informal call up
on him prior to his leaving for Cali
fornia and bid him Godspeed on his
journey. Monday evening was sug-
gested, and when that time came,
Notwithstanding the very unfavorable
condition of the weather, about forty
of the friends Of the President drop
ped in, to his great surprise. They
were, however, welcomed with the
we'll known courtesy Of the President
and his wife and the evening passed
away all too quickly.
1t was natural that there should be
a feeling Of sadness as it was felt that
this was the last time that so many
would be gathered under that hospit-
able roof TO be greeted by them as
host and hostess, but this was not al
lowed to make the occasion less pleas
ant or less a mark Of the respect and
esteem with which President Parker
has been held in this community.
Ali realized that we were losing a
valuable citizen. one who had been
among the foremost in advocating
the best interests of the city, whose
voice was ever found in the van when
things indicating progress were sug-
gested. Our public school building,
the railroad, the system Of water
works. and now the new Normal
building, all bear witness TO the earn
est and faithful work on his part for
the true interests Of the city and it
was with these things in mind, c0upl-
ed with the remembrance of his
personal friendship to all, that gave
real earnestness in the cordial hand
grasp as the goodbye was said.
