The present Congress--the 58th-
stands as follows-Senate: 80, of
which So are Republicans 80 Demo
Gratis, l Silver Republican and l
Populist. House: 3s6 members, of
which 20s are Republicans and 178
Democrats, giving the Republicans
a majority of 80. In the next~5oth
Congress-the Republican majority
in the house of Representatives will
be over 100, while the majority in
the Senate will probably be SO.
Gul n. Wahl, pioneer of Mar
tell, died Nov. 7, 1904, aged go
years. Mr.. VAIL was married at
MEDIUM, Norway, Nov. S, 1850, to
Helen Jorgensdatte Wiger, who,
with two daughters and three sons,
survives him. Mr.. Vail irnmigra-
ted with his young wife to this
country in 1852, and after spending
two years at Racine located on the
farm one mile west of the village of
Martell which had since been his
home. Mr.. Wahl was q man of in.
telligence and integrity, much re.
spected by all who knew him. He
will be greatly missed.
The election of a Republican
President, supported by the House
and Senate by powerful majorities,
insures placid and successful times.
The established certainty of these
factors forecasts harmony in the
furtherance of policies that have
made the country prosperous and
hopeful. The further fact that Presi-
dent Roosevelt has announced that
he would not seek or accept another
term of the presidency adds con.
fdence TO the situation as 1t gives
assurance that his action in ap-
pointments will be Tree from any
suspicion of "wire'pulling.

The Public Reading and Rest
Rooms.

The annual report of the condi-
ton of the Public Reading and Rest
Rooms of River Falls is now due.
Just two years ago the tenth of this
month our work was begun in the
rooms now occupied by the post
office. 1t took the greater part of
the first year TO call the attention of
the public to the convenience and
general helpfulness of these rooms.
During the next five months the
public made good use of them.
They were beginning to become
popular and really useful when
River Falls decided that location to
be the only one for a postoffice.
Consequently we moved into what
seemed to us the very best place we
could obtain at that time for the
money we had. We realized fully
that this moving meant loss of at
least half the labor, time and money
already spent in building up the
work but we hoped the public would
understand our situation and over
look the Inconvenience and dis
comforts Of the new place until the
public-spirited citizens of River
Falls saw fit to establish a work
here that any city might be proud
of
We had hoped to put this work
on self-supporting basis before
the $268.00 subscribed by the citi-
zens was expended; but owing, prob
ably, to the inexperience of the
manager, we failed to do this. The
citizens subscribed $4,000 the next
year, which, together with what the
manager has been able TO earn, has
kept up the work the past year.
We are now at the beginning of
another year. There is need of this
work being done in River Falls.
Perhaps you do not see it, but we
cannot prove it to you unless you
will consent to take the managers
place. You must know it is i'm
possible to discuss public work of
this kind without destroying its
value. In order to be successful the
manager must get and keep the
confidence of those who frequent
the rooms. Not that any part of
this work is, or can, or should be,
conducted in privacy. What we
mean to say is that we cannot tell
how we help people.
There have been during the past
two years many discouraging diff
culties to overcome, notwithstand-
ing which the manager feels we'll
repaid for her efforts and would be
very glad to continue the work if
the citizens will make it possible.
In order to even keep possession of
our present location we must raise
before next March, about $4,000
for interest, insurance, taxes, etc.
The manager. can earn this money,
but not in River Falls without your
assistance. 1t is simply out of the
question to solicit help personally.
If you have it in your hearts to give
you will do so without being asked
individually and it will be very
gratefully received.
We have decided to have a dinner
and supper in the Rest Room next
Saturday and perhaps the following
Saturday. If enough can be made
on these days to warrant our being
able to raise the required amount
in this way we will continue the
work this year, otherwise the rooms
will be closed this winter or until
the manager can earn enough to go
on with it. Yours Respectfully,
ALICE L. HEMENWAY

samuel Thomas Kidd.

Another of the pioneer residents of
Ionia county departed forever.
Samuel Thomas Kidd, brother of
James M was born in Orange county,
N. Y, May 6, 1923, and came to Michi-
gan with his parents, about 1880.
They settled first at Pontiac, but in
lS43 bought land in Orleans, where
they settled in 1874, the father S L.
and Robt. W. each making a location
in that township.
S. T. was married to Helen Lewis
in lS47. She died about 1860, leaving
three still surviving children: Will
liam L., an employe of the America
Express company in this city; Thomas
and and Alice, wife of Frank Howard
of Isabella county. In 1868, he was
married to Amelia Chittle of Orleans,
who died three years ago, leaving two
children Walter M. of st. Louis,
Mich, and James G. of Cincinnati.
Decedent sold his farm in Orleans
three years ago, and bought place
in this city which he has since called
his home, although he has spent much
time in visiting among his children.
| He came to the home of his son, Will.
liam L., two weeks ago. Although in
feeble health for some years, he wa:
confined to the house only two days
before his death, which occurred al
1:30 Thursday morniog.
He was man of sterling character
of the pioneer type, well esteemed il
the community, in which he was rec
ognized as a good citizen and neigh
