At Auditorium Friday, April 90,
''Old AFkansaw." . beatutiful rural,
mel0- darmntio comedy frcm the pen
Of Mr.. Fred Raymond will be the
Offering. Mr.. Raymond has spared
no expense in getting up this produc-
ton. The piece is said to be differ
emit from all others and to be built on
up-to-date lines. In the construction
an effort has been made TO depart
from the conventional, time honored
method Of producing plays. Judging
from public approval and the inn
mense financial success derived, the
effort has been satisfactory. The
plot Is strong, logical and original;
the situations develop rapidly and
the climaxes are harmonious and
dramatic. The comedy element 10
plentiful, the dialogue brilliant and
the intricacies Of the plot are hand
led in such way as to leave the au-
ditors amazed at the web Of tangled
situations. A complete scenic pro.
duction is given the play. The cleo
trioal and mechanical effects are said
to be marvel Of ingenuity. A care
fully selected company Of dramatic
and vaudeville artists make up the
personnel of the company. ''Old
AIkansaw" is pronounced by leading
critics to be one of the best Of the
many natural plays now being pre-
sented in the different cities Of the
country. Theatre goers may depend
upon seeing an up-to-date production
at the Auditorium Friday evening.

Basket Ball.

The basket ball game played at
Prescott last Friday evening be-
tween the Normal second team and
the Prescott high school first team
was won by the Normal by a score
of 80 to 81.
The Normal team were clearly su'
perior to their opponents in their
methods OF playing the game and
outclassed them at every point, but
the slippery dance floor and the
two-by-four backing for the baskets
made additional obstacles for the
visitors and kept their score down
enough to make the game interest
ing. At no time during the game
was there chance for doubt as tc
the outcome. At the end of the
first half the score was to II IN
favor of the Normal and the fna
score was 80 to FL. Taylor was the
star basket thrower for Normal
throwing six field baskets and four
free throws.
Dan. Corcoran and Frank Miller
officiated.

THOMAS WALKER
1843-1907.

Thomas Walker died at his home
quite unexpectedly yesterday NOR
ming at 9 o'clock. He had arisen
from his bed, saying he felt tired,
and was sitting in his chair when
he expired. Grip and heart failure,
the doctor says, was the immediate
cause Of his death, although he had
been in failing health for more than
three years.
The deceased was born at Madrid, ,
St. Lawrence county, New York,
Dec. Is, 1843. He came to River
Falls in 1868, where he had since
made his residence. On Jan. 80,
1878, he married Miss Eliza Scruton
at Madrid, N. Y, returning with
his wife to this place, where he has
always been engaged in farming
and quarrying rock for commercial
purposes.
Mr.. Walker was a man of quiet,
unobtrusive ways, of strict integrity,
good neighbor, ever ready to ac-
commodate. He was good citizen,
took an active part in politics, but
never aspired to office, although he
was at one time induced to serve as
alderman for his ward. He leaves
a wife and two hildren-William
Walker and Mrs. William ]. Will
liams, both of this place.
The funeral is held from the fam
lily residence Friday at o'clock p.
M, Rev. D. B. Spencer in charge of
the services, and the remains will be
inferred in Greenwood Cemetery.

Geo. Thee. Smith had thrilling
experience in the railway wreck on
the Great Northern last Friday eve-
ming, though he sustained no seri-
Gus injuries but some bruises. The
train, running at sixty miles an
hour, was derailed, wrecking
the engine, tender, and five or six
cars, with one man killed and sever
al others badly injured. The mail
car Immediately behind the tender
was thrown to the right and lay
across the track, the baggage car
ran to the left, the smoker ran out
on the prairie to the right, entirely
clear of the others. The first-class
coach continued straight ahead,
crashing through the mail car and
stopping against the tender. The
fifth car, a tourist, which Mr.
Smith was in, rolled over on its
side.

Establishment of Box-Rent
Rates.

The postmaster of the River Falls
Office has received from the Assist
ant Postmaster General the follow
ing order:
WASHINGTON, Feb. %, 1907.
POSTMASTER, RIVER FALLS, WIS.
Sir:-You are instructed to collect
box rents at your postoffice at the
rates stated below, from April l,
1907:
Call boxes, small, Csc per quarter
Lock " . 45c
{" medium Coo
+" large, 75c +"
These rates are based upon the
receipts of the office. The receipts
of this Office having largely increas-
cd the past year, the box rent has
increased accordingly, conforming
to set scale of rates laid down by
the Postoffice Department, which
took effect Jan. l, 1907. This table
of rates is based on the amount of
business the Office does and varies
for small call boxes from 10 cents
to $500 quarter, while small lock
boxes are taxed at from 20 cents to
$500 and large lock boxes from rs
cents to $500.
This new arrangement follows the
principles of business. Previous to
the beginning of this year box
rents have been fixed upon no es-
tablished basis, with the result that
at certain large postoffices rates were
lower than at many small Offices; the
charge for small boxes was in many
cases higher than that which should
be made for large boxes; that rates
were sometimes collected at the
same rate for boxes of all sizes; and
that at postofices of like class, in
the same vicinity, equipped with
similar boxes, rents were collected
at widely different rates. The new
rule remedies these unsatisfactory
conditions and provides a definite
and uniform rate based upon bust
ness conditions.

Woman Rides Colt to Flag Fast Train.

Memphis, Tenn, May 1l.-Unable
without assistance to extinguish the
flames of burning railroad bridge, Mrs.
Dora Jasper mounted an unbroken colt
and rode three miles over hills and gul-
lies to warn the crew of an approaching
train. Mrs. Jasper's farm is near Eureka
Springs, Ark, on the Missouri and
North Arkansas railroad.
When Mrs. Jasper first noticed the
little bridge had been fired by sparks
from passing freight, 80 it was thought,
she attempted, single-hapded, to put out
the blaze. Finding this impossible she
ran to the barb to get horse and ride
to intercept the train she knew was due.
Every animal and every saddle and bridle
were in use, except an unbroken colt and
a rope halter. Bareback, with the halter
as bride, Mrs. Jasper raced the colt to
the switch, which she reached in time.
There were fully 100 passengere and a
high official of the railroad on the train.
The officials first order was for the finest
side saddle that could be obtained, with
suitable inscription stamped on iG.

Suffolk, Va, May 9.-Between 10000
and $4,000 Smithfield hams, three build
ings and quantity of hay we're burned
