he will be found as firmly opposed

Big Heap Indian.

On the instant of the 9th sleep,
Flower Moon, G. S. D. Alb, or in
pale-face language, the evening of
May 81, 1904, the local. tribe of Red
men give their first big dance. This
is only the first of many social func-
tions of various kinds to be given
by this energetic and progressive
tribe. Though yet in its infancy,
being vet but little more than a
month old, it is in decidedly
flourishing condition, in fact the
present "scalp-dance" is given in
celebration of the taking of nearly
80 pale faces into the order since
it's organization. Music will be
furnished by the Redmen's Tanz
Orchestra, one of the best in this
section, and that in itself guarantees
a good time. You are cordially in
vited to turn out and dance with
the Indian. Tell your friends. Fri
day evening, May 9th, at Opera
Hall. Tickets $1.00 per couple.

Convention of Foresters.

Messrs. F. G.. Cox, L. F. Oakley
and c. r. Taggart returned Tues
day from Lake Mills, where they
had been to attend the biennial con-
vention of the High Court of the
United Order of Forsters, as repre-
sentatives from Court Kinnickinnic.
They report the meeting as es-
pecially harmonious and enthusiast
tic and speak in high praise of the
hospitality shown the delegates by
the people of Lake Mills. Many
buildings were decorated with red,
white and blue, the chosen colors of
the order, in honor of the occasion,
the opera house was placed at their
disposal and the chief citizens of
the city gave them public recep-
ton. The address of welcome was
made by the Mayor who rendered
his guests the freedom of the. city,
which was fittingly responded to by
the Supreme Ranger, Judge South
worth, of Chicago. Rev. F. E. Par
sons, formerly of this city but now
pastor of the Congregational church
at Lake Mills, gave the welcoming
speech in behalf of the local Court.
The program of exercises included
music, and choice selections were
excellently rendered, and enthusi-
astically received.
The stage was tastefu1ly decorat-
ed with evergreens buttercups and
June berry blossoms.
The concluding business meeting
of the High Court was afterwards
held in l. O. O. F. hall, at which it
was voted to hold the next meeting
at Hudson. In the evening grand
ball was given in honor of the Wis
iting Foresters.
The order has doubled it's mem
bership since the last meeting of
the High Court, held at Waukesha,
and is becoming one of the most
popular insurance fraternities in
the country. All persons of sound
bodies and sound principles are
eligible to membership. F. c. Cox
is treasurer of the local court who
will be pleased to answer all enqui-
ries relating to the order.

Ephraim Harding.
l82O...IQO4.

Another old settler has passed to
his reward. Ephraim Harding died
at the home of Mrs. c. c. Gone in
Clifton, May Is, 1904. He was born
at Lyme, New London county, CT.
Dec. %; 1920, and was therefore in
the Saith year of his age. He grew
to manhood in Connecticut, and in
November 1855, he married Miss
Julia Ann Otis. In 1856 they came
to Wisconsin and settled in Clifton,
about five miles west of River Falls
where his wife died Feb. %, 1865,
and there also died their only son,
two years old, in 1866. When his
wife died he selected white sand
knoll on his farm as burying
ground, burying his wife and child
there and leaving oft-repeated re-
quest that he might be laid there al
so. 1t is slightly spot overlooking
large expanse of country.
For many years Mr.. Harding was
the owner of farms in Clifton but
finally went TO live with Mrs. c. G.
Cone, where he was when death
called him away. He was convert
in 1869 under the laborS of Rev. ].
d. Searles and joined the Clifton
Methodist church, of which he had
always remained consistent mem
Der. He was happy and genial
man. All who knew him loved him
The large number of reverent peo-
pie who attended the funeral Sun
day afternoon was evidence of the
appreciation of his old acquaintan-
ces. His wife was a sister of Mrs.
c. c. Cone and Mrs. j. G.. West.
The funeral was conducted under
the charge OF Rev. DR.. E. E. Clough.

New Richmond S. River Folls 4.

! 1t was cold day for base ball,
cold for the players and cold for
the crowd. 1t was especially hard
on team that had to face a twenty
three mile ride across country be-
fore the game. Nevertheless the
game at New Richmond last Satur-
day was one of the best high school
games ever played in this section.
1t was one of the heart breaking
kind, hard, fast and close from
start to finish, anybody's game un-
til the last half of the last inning.
River Falls started the scoring in
the first when Younggren got a life
at first on jennings error, stole
second and third, and came home
on a passed ball. That is all they
could get until the eighth, when,
after Reid was out, Younggren and
Lien singled, and both scored on
Griffin's sacrifice and Sweets life
at first on T. Ryan's error. In the
ninth, Smith got first on Hollen-
beck's error, stole second, got third
on T. Ryan's error which gave Reid
a life at first, and stole home, bring
ing in the last score.
New Richmond drew goose eggs
until the third, when, after two had
struck out, Mcdonald singled, stole
second got third on Morrow's err
ror, and scored on Lokke's single.
Lokke then stole second and came
home on jennings single, Jennings
going out at second while trying
to stretch his hit to double. In
the seventh, Hollenbeck drew a
base on ball, stole second, and
scored on ]. Ryan's single. In the
eighth, Clark got his first on balls,
was forced to second when Peters
was hit by the ball, reached third
on aupassed ball, and scored on
Lokke's sacrifice. In the last, Jen-
nings, with the score a tie, drew
first on Griffin's error, stole second,
and brought in the winning run
when Hollenbeck's singled into
right field. New Richmond won
the game by lucky punching of
hits. Following is the score:

HEADQUARTERS, l. N. NICHOLS
Posi-, No. III,
River Falls, May 10, 1904.
ORDERS NO, 2.

The changing seasons bring us
again near another Memorial Day,
and it is earnestly hoped that the
citizens generally will this year as
usual take part with us in looking
to the proper observance of the day.
In addition to the ceremony of
decorating the graves of our depart
ed comrades, and preliminary to
this, we have arranged for a public
service to commemorate their lives
and services for the nation, union
of the churches, to be held in the
M. E. church, Sunday, May 20.
We make the 30th of May mem
DRY day of the great sacrifices made
by the soldiers and sailors of the
Republic from 1861 to 1865 in pre-
serving to this country national
unity and the blessings of liberty.
To our comrades who have passed
into the Great Beyond we pay sa-
cred tribute of love by placing flow
ers upon their graves the 30th of
May, and as the years go by and
our numbers diminish and we grow
feebler, these sacred memories grow
more tender, the ties of comradeship
grow ever stronger. Let us then
keep this day sacred to the memory
of our fallen comrades.
A cordial invitation is hereby ex-
tended to all ex-soldiers, American
Spanish War veterans, Sons of Vet
Grams, the schools, lodges and civic
societies, and all citizens, to take
part with US in observing Memorial
Day.
By Order of
D. j. HALL,
Post Commander.
