Brooklyn, Windham county, Conn,
June 10, 1887. He attended the Nor
NAL school at New Britain, Conn,
and afterwards taught. While at
school he met C. Helen Lowell whom
he married March 2, 1889, coming
Immediately thereafter to Wiscon-
sin and settling on farm in Trey,
two miles north of this city. On
the breaking out of the Civil war he
volunteered in the First Wisconsin
and served three years and three
months in the Army of the Cumber-
land under Grant and Sherman, re-
turning to his farm in the fall OF
1864. Here he resided until 1874
when in company with ]. B. Goss
he purchased the Prairie Mill which
he continued to operate until 1891
when owing to failing health he re-
moved to Los Angeles, California.
During his residence here he
held several town Offices, was chair
man of the County Board of Pierce
county; Member of Assembly in
1888, and mayor of the city of River
Falls. In the spring of 1893 he was
appointed Captain of the Watch in
the Treasury Department, Washing
ton, D. c., and the following year
was appointed Chinese Inspector
for the district of Los Angeles,
which position he held at the time
of his death.
Nine children were born to Mr..
and Mrs. Putnam, seven of whom
with the mother, survive him
William H. of this city; Catharine
and Sarah of Minneapolis; Charles
E. of the Philippines; John D., Jr.,
of Santa Ana, Cal; Dana G. OF San
Francisco, and Mary 2. of Los An
qeles. Mr.. Putnam has also one
brother and two sisters, all in Con-
necticut.
For fifteen years he had endured
constant suffering, yet through it
all he had kept at his duty and with
a patience and hopefulness seldom
excelled.
In accordance with his expressed
wish the remains will be brought to
River Falls and buried in Green
wood cemetery under the loving
care of I. N. Nichols Post of the
Grand Army Of the Republic,

game is almost sure to result. Tick
cts Csc. Come out, cheer the local
team to victory, help them to pay
the expenses which are quite high,
and see the fastest game of the sea-

Thanksgiving.

Thanksgiving-a day set apart
annually by the general government
for recognition of Gods providence
lis a holiday peculiar to the United
States.
At the annual return of the Thurs
day nearest to the 25th of Novem.
Der, by proclamation of the Presi-
dent of the United States, generally
supplemented by the acting govern
ors of the several states, the people
are called upon to remember the
Source of all Good, to recognize
and acknowledge their dependence
and obligations-and to give thanks
to the Giver. These proclamations
recommend that the people assemble
in the churches and unite their
voices in thanksgiving. This is the
better way. But each individual
may by himself, wherever else he
may be, recall the manifold bless
ings of which he has been the re-
cipient, individually, and as a part
of the great nation, during the past
wear and send heavenward his
grateful Acknowledgements.

Rcbekah Convention.

Last Thursday, Nov. II, there
convened at the l. o. G. T. hall,
the first meeting of Rebekah Lodge
of Dist. No. 6. Mrs. Mary Oakley,
President of the state Assembly,
was present and called the meeting
to order. After singing the open
ing ode and the offering of prayer
by the Chaplain, the meeting was
declared open. The following Of
ficers were elected for the remainder
of the term: President-Mrs. Alice
Weld of River Falls; Vice President
Mrs. P. Weiderman of PRESCOTT;
Secretary Miss Eliza Winn of Riv-
er Falls.
Mrs. Oakley addressed the meet
ing with some very helpful sugges-
lions and instructions which were
most beneficial to all present. Al
the afternoon session eighteen men,
bers were present from Roberts;
eleven from Hudson; six from Bald
win; four from Hammond; six from
Prescott; one from Cumberland; one
from Minnesota; one from Califor-
MIA, and twenty from River Falls.
At six o'clock the guests and men,
bers were invited to the dining hall
to partake of the sumptuous ban
quet which the RebekahS alone
know how to serve, and every one
of the number who accepted the in
vitation did ample justice to the re-
past.
The evening meeting was called
TO order at eight o'clock and the
business of the session taken up.
There being initiatory work the
Roberts Degree team was called up
on to put its work on the floor,
which they did to the pleasure of all
who witnessed it. The work was
beautiful, showing perfection of
drill by the members of the team.
After the initiation ceremonies
speeches and responses were made
by different members present, in
terspersed with music by Prof. Bert
TAFT. After which the brothers and
sisters, about ninety in all, separa-
ted for their various homes, all ex-
pressing themselves we'll pleased
with the meeting as everything had
passed off nicely with the exception
of one of the Prescott members be-
ing taken seriously i'll and being
deprived of the pleasure of the SEES
sion; but by prompt medical aid
the anxiety of the members was re-
lieved when she was pronounced
out of danger. #*x

Horace Gre eley.

An acquaintance met Horace one
day and said: "Mr Greeley, I've
stopped your paper"
Have your" said Horace. well,
that's too bad" and the old white
hat went it's way.
The next morning Greeley met his
subscriber again, and said: II
thought you had stopped he Trib-
une?" So l did" nen there
must be some mistake said Hor-
ace, for just came m the office
and the presses were running, the
clerks were as busy as eyer, the
compositors were hard at work, and
business was going on the same as
yesterday and the day before"
"Oh!" calculated the subscriber, Il
didn't mean that had stopped the
paper, | stopped only my copy of it
because | didn't like your editor
ials." "Pshaw!" retorted Greeley,
lit wasn't worth taking up my time
to tell me such trifle as that. My
dear sir, if you expect to control
the utterances of the Tribune by
the purchase of one copy day, or
if you think to find any newspaper
worth reading that will never ex-
press convictions at right angles
with your own, you are doomed to
disappointment"
