A man falls from a great height
and is injured" are the startling
headlines frequently read in the
papers, but to fall from a great
height and escape without scratch
is a different story. The Petit, Max
well and Griffin trio fall from a
dizzy height of IS feet and alight
right side up. With Gollmar Bros.
big new railroad shows, triple cir
Gus, all feature menagerie and Ro-
man hippodrome which exhibits
here on Thursday, May 26, on Cur
rier's circus ground.
According to the teachings of the
Bible David slew Goliath and Sam
son tore down the pillars of the
Lords. What would Samson or any
of the ancient giants think if they
saw James Dougherty equal their
wonderful Hercu1ean feats? This
Modern Samson will present his
wonderful performance with Coll
mar Bros big new railroad show,
triple circus, big double menagerie
and Roman hippodrome when they

The Colored Canadian Concert
Company which will be in River
Falls May 10th are receiving high
praise this spring wherever they go.
w. S. Armstrong writes home from
Rice Lake: Last night I attended
the Canadian Concert Co. and they
are all right. Go and hear them,
all hands. They were recalled three
and four times at almost every num-
ber." A business man connected
with another River Falls family
writes to them that he heard them
in New Richmond and that the en-
tertainment was one of the finest he
ever heard.
Kick man and he will resent it
because it hurts his pride and bod
lily strength; kick boy and he will
feel the same but lacks the develop
ment of manhood to resent the in
suit. To think of a husband and
father kicking his wife and family
several times day for a period of
six months reigned in the days of
barbarism. Mons. Petit kicks his
wife and family in such a manner
that they turn single, double and
triple somersaults and enjoy it i'm
mensely with Gollmar Bros big
new railroad show, triple circus,
millionaire menagerie and Roman
hippodrome which will exhibit here
on Thursday, May &c, on Curriers'
circus ground.

Nervousness, Sore Eyes and restore
Mental Vigor. All work guaran-
teed. Prices reasonable. Broken
parts exchanged. Rimless and BIZ
focal lenses specially. Eyes ex-
amined and glasses fitted at your
home without extra charge. Leave
word at the hotel.
Assemblyman A. H. Dahl from
Vernon county was in the city Mon
day and Tuesday fixing up caucus
delegation favorable to La Follette's
third term nomination. This is the
same Dahl, who as chairman of the
special committee to investigate the
question of coal shortage at Milwau-
kee, charged in his bill of expenses
a mileage fee of ten cents mile to
and from Milwaukee. The incident
caused a furry in the assembly.
While the incident was under dis
cussion, Assemb1yman Barker of
Milwaukee accused Mr.. Dahl Of
having his son carried on the Senate
payroll as an employe while attend
ing the University and rendering
no service whatever to the state.
This Dahl did not deny. The vot-
ers of River Falls will follow the
dictation of such reformers Satur-
day night? We shall see.
