All who contemplate having plumb

that little saving in first cost is not
always economy. We buy our goods
at first hands, strictly for cash. We
have expert plumbers and will guar
antee all work, at prices as low as
consistent with first class material
and workmanship. We will be here
to protect our work as long as gas
lasts and people use water.

Miss uerna Golden. Vlollnist,

Miss Verna Golden the young and
accomplished violinist is native of
River Falls and our citizens are sure
to be interested in her. While
young child she manifested great
fondness and aptitude for music and
played upon the organ and piano IN
der the direction Of her mother who
is musician Of superior attainments.
When but thirteen years Of age Verna
began to develop exceptional talents
and love for the violin. She studied
In Minneapolis under the direction Of
the best teachers until she was Is
when she went to Germany and spent
four years under the personal care
Of Herr Hans Slit, musical director
Of the Conservatory Of Leipzic-the
highest school Of music in the world.
While in Germany Miss Golden gain
ed possession of a rare treasure in the
shape Of violin, real Caracassi,
made in 1850. This wonderful ms
trument is capable Of giving out the
most exquisite tones. though an ex-
Quisite tone is BY no means attribut-
able to the instrument alone, but is
only susceptible Of its highest posi-
bilities under the sympathetic fingers
Of born musician. Miss Golden's
public performances in Minneapolis
have been highly commended and the
comments Of the press show that the
city is justly proud OF her. The River
Falls friends Of Miss Golden have ar
ranged for her to appear here on Oct.

school Room DECORATIONS.

One of the most striking phases
of the New Departure" in
education exhibits itself in the
growing opinion that not all of
education is in formal instruction,
but that the growing mind is sus-
ceptible to silent influences which
may be almost if not quite as
great as those which spring from
the purposeful efforts Of school
room instruction. One of the
evidences Of this changing belief
manifests itself in the increasing
disposition to surround the chill
dren IN the schools with means for
aesthetic growth by keeping before
them models Of art,-portraits,
etchings, engrayings and statuary
serving their turn in stauulat-
ing good taste and higher powers
of appreciation of things bea tiful.
With this end in view public
minded citizens of many of the
cities OF the country have organ
lied Decoration Clubs and have
given literally Of time and money
70 make the school rooms home
like, attractive and educative in
their appointments and the indi-
cations are that there has begun
in our more populous centers a
wave of schoolroom improvement
which is destined to reach ont
into every school district in the
land, and bring to an end the
crude notion that bare walls and
coarse appliances are good
enough for a school. 1t is to be
hoped that our citizens will look
with favor upon the effort which
is being made by the Tuesday Club
to give a series of entertainments
for the purpose Of increasing the
decorations Of our school rooms
and that the entertainment to be
given on Friday evening next, as
a Public School Benefit, will meet
with hearty patronage such an
enterprise merits and that the
efforts of the Club may be reward
ed by a crowded house. Every
citizen Of River Falls should have
a positive interest in the city
schools and a good way to show
that interest is by giving the
Decoration Entertainment sub
staDtial support.

public School Notes.

1t used to be thought that only old
er pupils could learn to draw. See
the work of the little ones in Miss
Guiser's room, and see whether that
Thought" was true or not. Their
drawing is excellent.
Visitors have not been very num-
erous this past week An insurance
agent was one of the very few, ard his
time was exceedingly short.
The recesses are mostly given over
to foot ball. That is all well enough
SO long as the foot ball does not invade
the school room.
Mondays attendance was very poor,
rain being the presumable cause. 1t
is remarkable now many Of the pupils
are afraid Of a little water, just
enough afraid to stay out of school
when it rains.
ITO those that have, shall be given"
and new pupils are still arriving to
enter Miss Frye's room. Two more
this week.
The senior class is up in arms over
the withdrawal Of Julia Moynihan
from school, she having gone out to
teach. The class will use its best en-
deaYors to have her reconsider and re-
turn.
Some of the high school pupils
would hardly make good soldiers.
Good soldiers can keep step when
marching.
The picnic last Saturday was very
largely attended both by normal
pupils and high school pupils, while
the faculties of both institutions
were out in force. The day was per-
feet, and the boys did good deal of
work cleaning up the park, while the
girls did the honors by furnishing a
magnificent supper.
A cold kept Miss Dodge out of her
room last week for two days, Mrs.
Hermione Wiger teaching her school
during her absence.
The Athletic Association has SUBJ
scrbed for a periodical known as the
College Athlete.
The foot ball team plays its first |
real game Of the season at Ham mond |
next Saturday against the high school |
team of that place. Quite number
from here will probably go to witness
the game, which ought to be a good
one. OF course we hope our team
will win the game, and if weight
alone could win, it probably would, as
it averages about seven pounds heav
Ter than the Hammond team. How
ever, weight is not all, and the game
will be watched with interest. 1t is
well for our boys to remember that
foot ball game is not won until it is
played out. The second game Of the
season will probably be played here on
Oct. o. against the New Richmond
high school.
Later. The Hammond game for
Saturday is off, Hammond having
it because the chances are
against their winning.

October.

"The woods seem for pageant dressed.
What mean these banners 'gainst the sky,
In gold and red blown east and west?-
The world receives a royal guest:
Behold! October passes by I"
Stretching away to the illimitable
horizon the flaming forests flash their
fiery flags. Rejecting from among
the wealth of green the sunlight
glints upon blood-red splotches, and
CLEANS from out the golden fervors OF
dying leaves. The crimson glories OF
decaying foliage, brilliant and beauti-
full, flare along the hillsides in billowy
magnificence like illumined surges OF
a stormy sea. Resilient colors flash in
the sunshine as the wind sways the
Haunting flags OF oak and maple an6
poplar and elm. And down from the
limbs of the stately monarchs of the
wood tiutter and fall the ensanguined
leaves, covering the ground with {
thick, soft, parti-colored carpet. ''Tht
harvest is past, the summer is ended
and 'the winter of our discomfort
comes on apace.

From an Old-Timer.

Edior Of Raer Falls Jolnnal:-
Dear Sir: came to River Falls
in the fall Of 1859, secured board with
| Nathaniel Wales and attended the
academy, Professor Wilcox being the
teacher at that time. The first work
| did was at digging a cellar for E. c..
| Jencks. l lived in the family Of Mr..
| JenCks the next winter and attended
the school at the academy, and in the
meantime became acquainted with
many Of the people Of the town and
vicinity. | rememb Der the debates
| that Judge Foster and G. b. Cox used
! to have on politics, the former being
democrat and the latter a republic
| can, although this was previous to
the civil war. Mrs. Jencks was a re-
markable woman, being educated at
Mary Lyons School at Mount Holy
yoke, Mass. Her early training gave
to her fine talents and superior relig-
ious character, a special opportunity
for usefulness in those early days in
River Falls. She took great deal Of
interest in young people and to be
under her instructions Eand influence
was very helpful to them in forming
their character for future usefulness.
| worked one summer for Samuel
Wales and found great delight in fish
ing for trout in the Kinnickinnic and
South Fork. At that time there was
only one church building in River
Falls. Rev. William Stevens was the
pastor Of the Congregational church,
and was called the High Priest. Rev.
Gibson was pastor Of the Baptist
church at the time, and local preach
er who lived northeast Of River Falls
on farm dispensed the gospel as he
understood it, especially to the Meth
odist persuasion. All services were
held in the one church, the preachers
alternating. Washington Pratt led
the choir and played the violin The
ministers and people Of all denomina-
tions were friendly and cordial. L |
well remem Der what the local preach |
er said one Sunday about some people |
who came from the East: They |
brought their church letters with |
them but their religion was not |
worth the transportation" for they |
never presented their letters for adj
mission into the church. do not re-
call this local preachers name, but |
the old residents will remember him.
