II Poured

Whew! But didn't it rain every
day for week and every night it
poured-poured down out of the
clouds; poured down the hills; the
sluices; the creeks; the rivers; pour
ed into the great deep, making the
deep deeper. Sunday the Kinnick-
innic was higher than it had been
at any time before since the flood of
1894. In fact very much more wa
ter ran off Saturday and Sunday
than at the time of the flood. On
this latter occasion, however, it did
not all come down at once as it did
in the former case. The dams, of
which there are FIVE in the city, in
Guiding the Putnam dam on the
South Fork branch, stood against
the racket all right, barring a slight
mishap to that at the Prairie mill,
which, however, was no fault of the
dam. Here the boom-a string of
logs chained together across the
pond a few rods above the dam to
prevent the ice from going down to
the detriment of structures below
in the spring in the middle,
the water driving the logs against
the sluice gate with such force as
to smash it open. At the same
time the coping boards over the
dam between the sluice gates and
the flume were carried away. The
breaking of the sluice gate allows
the water in the pond to run out
and new gates put in.

MEMORIAL-DAY SERVICES.
Fine Weather; Good Crowd:
Impressive Ceremonies.

Yesterday, May SO, we had fine
weather, contrary TO the indications
of Tuesday. The sun shone bright
all day and it was just about warm
enough for comfort. A fair-sized
crowd of people was in from the
country. The Decoration ceremo-
MES by |. N. Nichols Post, and its
auxiliary w. r. c., passed off with
harmony and prompt efficiency. Of
the veterans of the civil war about
sixty were in line in the parade with
the usual quota of members of the
Relief Corps, a number of Spanish
war veterans forming the vanguard.
A pretty feature of the parade was
the seventy little girls marching in
double file, dressed in red, white
and blue and carrying baskets of
flowers. The march of the veter-
ans was made easy by the music of
the "boisterous drums" The Ca
Diet Band was also in line and play
ed at intervals on the march, at the
cemetery and at the G. A. r. quar-
tiers. The ceremonies at the GENE
terry were carried out in accordance
with the

OBITUARY.
DANIEL H. LEvINGs.

Another of the old pioneers has
passed away in the death. of D. H.
Levings of this city at the ripe old
age of 80 years, month and II
days. Mr.. Levings came of old
New England stock, his mother
having attained the unusual age of
102 years. He was born in Fairfax,
Vermont, April s, 1916. While yet
a boy his father moved to Madrid,
st. Lawrence county, New York.
There, or in that vicinity, he spent
his youth and married his wife, Re-
becca Loomis, April 2, 1910, who
still survives. There his children
were born, the youngest of whom
died in youth. The other two, Ed
win and Homer Levings, are resi-
dents of this city. When he had
reached the age of forty, the west
ern fever was rife in ST. Lawrence
county. Several had already left
that vicinage and settled in this val
ley, and Mr.. Levings followed, in
tending to settle at Minneapolis.
The long journey, almost ended,
found them stopping for visit fifty
years ago this month, at tavern
here, then kept by w. H. Winches-
ter, an old fellow townsman of Mad
rid. Instead of going on as he pro-
posed, he built slab shanty for the
summer and later house upon the
lot in the south part of town which
for half century has been his
home. The house in which he died
he had occupied for forty-eight
years.
1t is marvellous to sum up the
events which this life of ninety years
has covered in the nation. He has
witnessed and shared in almost the
entire development of this county.
During the most of his life he fol-
lowed the trade of painter and pa
per-hanger, and in years past OBJ
tanned very high reputation as an
artesan. He was man of unusual
strength of constitution. At one
time he worked in Hudson and at
the close of his days work would
walk home to River Falls. AS a
man of character he had the high
respect of his fellow townsmen.
He had most sterling sense of in
tegrity and honor in his dealings
with his fellow men. He was inter-
ested in all public measures, and
contributed of time and means for
what was of general welfare. Soon
after coming to this place he be-
came connected with the Congrega-
tional church of this city of which
he has been an honorable member
for forty-eight years. He was man
of some strong individual traits yet
highly esteemed by his neighbors.
For many years he has been much
set aside from intercourse with 9TH
ers by advancing years and growing
deafness. The funeral services
were held from his late home on
Friday last, and his body laid at
rest in Greenwood Cemetery.

MRS. E. A. DANIELS.

The funeral service of Mrs. E. A.
Daniels, whose death was noted as
we went to press last week, was
held on Sunday afternoon. Her
demise was entirely unexpected up
to the evening before it occurred
and none of her family was home at
the time. Miss Maude had not re-
turned from the university, and
Theodore Daniels with his family
had removed to Seattle. Her death
cast a great depression upon the
minds of the community in which
she lived, for among her neighbors
and friends she was held in the
highest esteem as warm friend
and true woman. She was born
sixty years ago in Litchfeld, Conn.
Removing west she came to Elk
horn, Wis. There she lived until
she became the wife of our late
townsman, E. H. Daniels. For a
short time after her marriage she
lived at Boardman and then Mr..
and Mrs. Daniels came to River
Falls and for more than twenty years
this has been her home. Her life
has been one of industry and good
deeds. Her hospitable home will
be missed as one of the factors
of our community life. For many
years it has been open to students
and teachers, who have enjoyed its
comforts and refnements. In the
church to which she belonged she
was prominent worker and a
faithful member. For years she
has been the leader of the mother
class in the Congregational Sab
bath School, and last Sunday the
school spread upon its record an
appreciation of her worth. She was
also interested in other organiza-
tions of public benefit like the Wom-
ems Improvement League and the
Tuesday Club, and was always glad
to give of her means to help every
worthy cause. She was woman
of true heart, warm friendships
and beautiful character, and her
death causes vacancy hard to fill
in many ways.

Happy Marriages In ireland.

Nowhere save in Ireland is the ideal
marriage more often realized, accord
ing to a speaker at popular women's
club in London. In Ireland, says this
person, who. by the way. was an Ok
ford don, there was, up to recent
times, mo company keeping before
marriage, and no ashes of disillusion
after. Here, according to ancient
custom, the peasant mother says to
her child: Bridget, get out your
Sunday dress; you are to be married
on Thursday evening" and Bridget
says, Very well, mother These mar
riages, in which the bride sometimes
does not know the name of her spouse,
are said to turn out almost invariably
happy, unless drink comes in to dis
turb the domestic peace"

The Circus Came and Went.

Gollmar Bros. Circus and Menag-
erie was here Saturday in accord
ance with the announcement but
the weather was a dampening dis
appointment to the showmen and
the would-be patrons. The wind
blew gale, it rained nearly all day
and the ground was mud of the
inuddiest. The men unloaded the
43 cars and hauled the truck to the
grounds although the great, heavy,
wide-tired wagons of six-foot track
sank to the axles. Tents were rails
ed with great difficulty as the wind
blew fiercely and the ground was so
soft the guy ropes could not be
safely moored. A parade of the
main features of the menagerie was
made and the ticket office was open
ed and some tickets were sold for
entrance to the afternoon exhibit
ton when a heavy rain, accompan-
led with nail set in, which forced
the management to give up the ex-
hibition and pull up stakes and go
to St. James, Mimi, where the
show was billed to appear Monday.
Those who had bought tickets re-
ceived back their money. The. pa
rade, the wild animals in open Gag
es and many other manifestations,
indicate that the show Of GolliAar
Bros. is big affair this year.
