Belasco when Blanche Bates is to close
her New York engagement in "The Girl
of the Golden West" now in its second
season at the Belasco theater, all
though contracts entered into last year
call for her appearance in other leading
cities.
A drama founded on the romantic
story of "Pocahontas..' is to be fea-
ture of the Jamestown exposition. The
play is by George Frederick Viett and
tells the colonial history Of Virginia of
that time. 1t will probably be taken on
tour later.
e. d. Price has an interesting posi-
ton just at present. He is looking after

How to Save the Editor.

Here is minister who appreci-
ates an editor: At a recent editorial
convention he offered the following
toast:
TO save the editor from starva-
ton, take his newspaper and pay
him for it promptly. To save him
from bankruptcy, advertise in his
paper literally. To save him from
dispair, send him every item of news
of which you can get hold. To
save him from profanity, write your
correspondence plainly on one side
of the sheet and send it in as early
as possible. To save him from mis-
takes, bury him. Dead people are
the only ones that never make mis-
takes. Newspaper readers would
do we'll to remember that there are
no perfect peop1e-editors or read

The Facts in the Case.

AS various and exaggerated &C
counts have been current of what
transpired at the Congregationalist
church last Sunday morning, it may
be we'll to state just what did occur.
C. H. Kaiser, agent of a ST. Paul
piano house, came to town last
week to do some special work. He
called upon the local representative
of his house, who is organist at the
Congregational Church, and in the
course of conversation on musical
matters offered 10 assist in the choir
service the following Sunday. Sup
posing that the agent of a reput-
able house was gentleman the Of
fer was accepted. The pastor, who
net him before the service, was in
absolute ignorance of the man.
After the sermon a young woman
in the congregation interrupted the
service and coming forward asked
to say a word. In absolute aston
ishment everyone listened as she
denounced the stranger in the
choir as the man who had ruined
her life. Not only that, but she de-
nounced him as refusing to make
any reparation of the wrong or to
contribute to the support of his
child. The man made no attempt
to utter a word of denial. In the
desperate circumstances the pastor
sought TO save the situation and
deal fairly by all.
He induced the girl to take her
seat, and then declared that the
church demands a white life for
two. The girl who sinsSm carry
her sorrow and seek atonement
through repentance; but the man
who leads her into sin is not to es-
cape" If this man be innocent OF
this charge let him deny it. If he
be guilty he deserves the contempt
and execration of society which he
has outraged. After the service
men came forward and Kaiser, who
made no attempt todeny the charge,
was told to leave the house. The
man Immediately left town. If he
had not done so he certainly would
have been placed under arrest to
give bonds for the support of his
nameless child, SO intense was. the
public feeling of indignation toward
him.

Figures don't lie?" Well, they
did in last weeks issue of this pa
per. In the article, 1.-The City in

course the figures should have been
1885, as is plain from the context

A while ago Supt. Brewer of the
New Richmond schools wrote an
article for the papers discouraging
the attendance of pupils upon dan
ces and like entertainments. He
asserts that those pupils that are
assiduous in the attendance of dan
ces are failures as students. Mr..
Brewers statements are supported
by the endorsement of schoolmen
generally, for all teachers of much
experience have found to their an
noyance that his assertions are on
ly too true. In recognition of this
condition the Hudson board of edu-
cation last week passed resolutions
discouraging dances and like enter
tairments in any way connected
with the schools.

DIED.

LUNDBERG.-At her home in this
city, Friday morning, January 5,
1906, Mrs. Anna Lundberg, in the
51st year of her age.
Mrs. Lundberg had been affect
ed with weakness of the heart for
a number of years, but the imme-
diate cause of her death was dis
ease of the throat and lungs, an af-
lection which had developed since
last spring.
Anna Kettleson was born in Nor
way in March, 1855. Her parents
brought her with them to America
while she was little child. Her
mother, SO years old, survives her
and besides the mother Mrs. Lund-
berg leaves two brothers and three
sisters, all residents of Pierce coun-
ty.
| When Anna Kettleson had grown
to young womanhood she was mar
Hed to Peter Lundberg, who died in
1884. Upon the death of her husband
Mrs. Lundberg was left, in strait
ened circumstances, with six little
children to support and educate.
To this purpose she devoted her
best endeavors, the consecrated en-
ergies of soul and body. With a
heroisn born and sustained by the
deathless love for her children she
toiled increasingly for her orphans,
for their support and education,
giving them always the best exam
pie of Christian conduct in her own
daily walk and conversation. Of
these children of her love she saw
three go on before her through the
portals of the land of silence after
she had nurtured them to woman
hood. Three survive to mourn the
loss of the best of mothers and to
cherish her memory in reverent af-
fection-Mrs. A. ]. Eddington of
Seattle, Washington, Miss Edythe
of this city and Peter of Bibon, this
state.
The weary wayfarer has laid her
burden aside, too heavy for her fur
Their bearing, and entered into her
endless rest. And she leaves a leg
acy in her fidelity and devotion to
duty worthy of commentator and
imitation.
The funeral was held from the
family residence Sunday afternoon
at 200 o'clock, Rev. E. E. Clough
conducting the service, and the re-
mains were buried in Greenwood
cemetery.
LINEHAN. AT his home in this city,
Sunday night, Jan. 7, 1906, from
heart failure induced by an at
tack of pneumonia, Michael F.
Linehan, aged IS years, 3 months
and days.
The deceased was born in Lon
don, England, Sept. 20, 1912, and
came to America in 1858. He en-
listed in the civil war at the begin
ming of the contest and served until
near it's c1ose-joining Co. H, 18th
Wisconsin Infantry, Oct. 4, 1861 and
receiving an honorable discharge
Feb. Is, 1865. He came to Pierce
county from Milwaukee in 1869 and
had resided here since that time.
Mr.. Linehan followed the trade of
carpenter and was good work
man. He leaves wife and eleven
children.
The funeral was held from St.
Bridget's Catholic church at 1000
o'clock this forenoon, Rev. FIR.
Hopdegard in charge of the service
and the remains were buried in the
Catholic cemetery in the south part
of the city.

There were three Powell brothers
Nathaniel, Lyman and Oliver
who emigrated to this county early
in the fifties. Nathaniel was the
first to come and purchase lands,
though in fact he did il in the inter
est of all of the brothers. He had
previously purchased some lands at
St. Anthony Falls, but the develop
ment Of that part of the country
was so slow that he thought it bet
ter to move into Wisconsin and
actually abandoned, some at least,
of the land he purchased at St.
Anthony Falls. 1t is one of the
curious freaks of fortune that the
very land he thus abandoned is now
occupied by commercial houses and
has become very valuable.
The principal portion of the city
of River Falls stands upon the
quarter section he bought in 1881,
all of the business houses being
within the limits of that tract.
The Powell brothers, after laying
out the village of Kinnickinnic, pur-
chased from Judge Foster 120 acres
of the tract entered by w. P. Mapes
in 1849 and at this time owned by
Judge Foster and laid out N. N.

< a stuRed owl. This partleular owi
Is the one, IN the words Of the late
Presldent Hayes, that Jared the
washington monument and therein
lies the story.
During Centennial year congress re-
solved to provide the necessary FUNDS
for the completion OF the monument.
which up to that time had been work
ed at only while tie several smaller
appropriations lasted. It was discoy-
cred, however. that the original founda-
tlon was likely to prove incapable Of
sustaining the enormous weight Of
marble necessary for carrying the
shaft $50 feet above terra hrma. A
new foundation was therefore needed,
and architects thought solid concrete
bed 100 feet square and nearly four
teen feet in thickness would accom-
plish the strengthening desired.
During the operation of replacing the
old foundation It was considered ex-
pedient to provide means for noting
carefully the slightest vibration Of the
walls, lest the monument might be In
danger OF colIapslng- Accordingly a
heavy weight was suspended by a
stout thread from the apex to a pan
of thick strip located in the base, SO
that no chance drafts Of air would be
likely to sway the weight An ingen-
ious contrfyance was 30 attached to the
weight that the slightest vibration of
the shaft would be faithfully recorded,
and Its insecurity would at once be an
established fact.
One morning few months after
these careful precautions had been
taken there was great eommotion
among the Workmen. A complete
record OF numerous perturbations and
trembllnRs had been written on the In
dax, showing conclusively that the
mammoth obelIsk had Jared. swayed
and settled during the night. Scientific
heads were obviously shaken. After
much persuasion one OF the men finally
consented to go to the top and examine
into the cause. The astonishing report
came into the midst of the anxious
throng below that an owl in seeking
shelter in the lofty tower had somehow
managed to catch its wings in the
thread and was still hanging there,
suspended to the interior of the monu-
ment, and the innumerable fiapDings
md struggles of his owIship had all
been recorded by the index as testf-
mony against the stability OF plumb
laid marble blocks and solid concrete.
