From the Paris Journal:

From the Paris Journal
"Mr. Edward Baxter Perry, of Boston,
gave a concert yesterday, which was
the occasion of a new triumph for
this eminent pianist. An old pupil
of List and of Clara Schumann, Mr..
Perry, who has given thirteen hundred
concerts in the past ten years in
America, is a remarkable virtuoso,
interpreting with an equal authority
the works of Beethoven, List and
Chopin. We had all but forgotten to
say that Mr.. Perry is blind; but all
those who applauded his execution so
precise, and his cleanness of attack,
probably like ourselves, in listening
to the virtuoso, quite forgot his
infirmity.''

BURNETT. her home in River Falls,
Oct. Is, 1899, Roanna, wife of q. p.
Burnett, aged 60 years.
Mrs. Burnett was the only daughter
of Ezra and Eleanor Smead. She was
born in Coleraine, Mass, Nov. 5, 1899.
In early life she was teacher in the
common schools Of Massachusetts and
later in Tilden Female Seminary, Leb-
anon, N. II. In 1867 she came west
and taught in the city schools of Peru
and Bloomington, III. She was married
to Mr.. G. P Burnett August 16, 1874, and
since that time has been resident of
River Falls. She was woman of rare
qualities of mind and heart; a devoted
wife and mother; respected and beloved
by all who knew her. From early wom-
anhood she has been member of the
Congregational Church, and none but
those who loved her best knew the depth
of her Christian character. May the re-
membrance of her never falling love and
tenderness, the presence of the loved and
lost in all the happy associations that
linger in all their thoughts, remain with
and prove a comfort to the bereaved hus-
band, son and daughter.
Not now, but in the coming years,
1t may be in the better land,
Wen read the meaning of our tears,
And there sometime, wen understand.
God knows the way, He holds the key,
He guides US with unerring hand;
Sometime with fearless eyes Wen see;
Yes, there, up there, wen understand. "

The ground has been SO dry, and
consequently hard, that farmers
found it difficult to pillow. Yet the
extra labor of blowing ground when it
is dry has its compensation. The soil
is pulverized and stirred up-the
particles of the dirt readily separate
when the ground is dry In wet
weather the pillow simply turns the
furrows-places the dirt the other
side up-without pulverizing it.

Threshing is pretty well nigh finish

We have had no long transforms and
very few heavy showers. Grains are
shown to have been about an average
crop. Rye was hardly up to expecta-

much smut. Barley was fine and
wheat fair crop. Prices are above
the average paid for several years past,
are remuneratiye and satisfactory.

River Falls High 80, Hudson High 0.

While the Normal foot ball team,
scarce recovered from their defeat at
the hands Of Hammond on the Satur-
day before, we're playing the veterans
of the New Richmond High School to
a standstill and beating them out on
their own grounds by score Of TO O,
the High School team of this place
was playing its first game Of the sea-
son at Hudson and turning the High
School of that place by score of 80 TO
0. The Hudson team was much the
lighter and was also newer at the
game, most of the players never hay
ing played the game before. They al
so went into the game expecting TO
be beaten, while River Falls went in
confident in its power TO win.
River Falls won the toss and chose
the north goal. Hudson kicked of,
and the Falls team started south. In
seven minutes they had gone the re-
quired distance and kicked goal and
the score was to in their favor.
Again Hudson kicked off, and in
another eight minutes the ball was
once more behind the Hudson goal
posts, and the score was ii to in
favor Of River Falls; Jenson having
missed an easy goal. Once more Hud-
son pushed the pig skin to the north,
and in little less than FIVE minutes
it was again behind their goal and the
goal was kicked. Score II TO 0. This
closed the first half. Up to this point
the game had been ragged on both
sides, Hudson doing some very plucky
| defensive work in the face Of some
speedy and strong playing The sec
ond half was opened by Jenson kick
ing out of bounds. He tried it sec
ond time, more successfully. Hudson
had the ball, and tried the left end
for three yards, the right end for
nothing, then fumbled and Lusk fell
on the ball. In just three minutes
from kick off, River Falls had another
| touch down, and the score was % to 0.
After Hudson's next kick off, River
Falls began some punting, and car
ried the ball across the field by the aid
of Jenson' kicks. Getting it finally
on Hudson's 20 yard line, they swung
| it across for another touch down and
the score was q to D. Again Hudson
kicked of and one more touch down
| and goal made the score 80 to 0. There
were only six minutes left to play, but
it took only 81 of them to make an
other touch down and goal, and the
score was 80 to 0. When time was
called the ball was rapidly approach
ing Hudson's goal line.
1t was clean game and fast
game. Although clearly outclassed,
the Hudson team played steady
game, and were in it clear to the fin
ish. They are plucky lot of lads,
and will be heard from yet on the
grid-iron. The result of the games
places Hammond and our High School
in the lead for the pennant, and as
the two teams meet this coming Sat
urday, a hard game may be expected.
The game will so long way toward
deciding the pennant, as neither team
can hope for a clear title to the flag
without winning the game.
The game will be played on the Nor
NAL campus and will be worth seeing.
Don't miss it.
