This is the last day of February.
We feel that we are about out of the
wilderness. And now we expect
the grip will loosen up and let go.
1t is a positive and persistent cpl
demic here this winter. 1t is bound
to get you any way. You may
stave it off several times but at some
unexpected moment it gets a good
hold.
The youngest child, boy, aged
about one and half years, of Mr..
and Mrs. Oscar Weiss of Kinnic-
kinnic, died last Saturday and was
buried Tuesday. Their other child
is seriously i'll. Mrs. Weiss mother,
Mrs. David Campbell, died the 3rd
instant. Mr.. and Mrs. Weiss had
also lost another child, their first
born.
Mrs. Albert Smith visited the
most of last week with relatives at
Oak Grove and Diamond Bluff,
guest at the homes of Arthur Kellar
and Eugene Moore. On Friday,
Washington's birthday anniversary,
there was gathering of eight cous-
ms at the home of Mr.. Moore where
in the afternoon they were serenad-
ed by the Red Wing band, which
had come over to Diamond Bluff to
play at dance in the evening.
The meeting of the St. Croix-
Pierce Oratorical league was held
at Hudson on Saturday. Officers
elected for the ensuing year were
Pres, Supt. ]. w. T. Ames, River
Falls; Sec. -Treas., Supt. D. L. Hen
nessey, Hudson. The officers were
made executive committee in charge
of contests. 1t was voted to hold
the oratorical contest of the league
at New Richmond on March %, and
the league declamatory contest in
Hudson, probably April &c.
Mr.. and Mrs. Tom Wilcox enter
tanned party of their neighbors at
dinner at their home in Kinnickin-
mic Saturday, Feb. %. Among
those present were Mr.. and Mrs. E..
P. Cole; Mr.. and Mrs. w. ]. David
son; Mr.. and Mrs. Cotton Whitcomb:
Mr.. and Mrs. Frank Fuller; the
Misses Pearl and Bernice Whitcomb
and Miss Maud Carley. After din
ner the afternoon was spent in
games, instrumental and vocal mu-
sic and social converse. Every one
present will long remember with
pleasure this enjoyable social event.
The spring election comes on
Tuesday, April 2. City officers
mayor, treasurer and assessor
hold over as they were elected last
spring for two years, but justice
at large is to be voted for this cleo
ton in place of A. T. Carroll as his
two-year term expires this spring.
Ward officers must be elected this
spring -aldermen. supervisors, JUS
tees and constables-as these Off
GERS, except justices, are elected to
serve one year. A justice is elect
ed for two years, but it frequently
happens that the man elected does
not qualify, and thus there is va
cancy which is filled at the next
election. Besides these municipal
officers county superintendent of
schools is to be voted for and a
member of the Supreme Court in
place of Judge r. D. Marshall,
whose term of office expires next
January.
We notice that number of our
exchanges in commenting upon the
bill of Assemblyman Kay appropri-
ating money for improvements to the
Normal school buildings think the
River Falls school is entitled 10
more than is asked for in that bill
$4,000. The bill calls for $4,000
for Oshkosh and $4,000 for Supe-
rior. Some of these newspapers sug-
gest that the people of River Falls
petition for larger sum for the
Normal of this place. We would
like to see this school have all the
money required for such improve
ments as are needed. We suppose
the school asked for all it wanted.
1t asked for $4,000. We have a
local represent alive on the board of
Normal school regents and he could
easily convince his colleagues on
the board to give this school equal
consideration that is given to others.
AS only $4,000 was asked for, it is
supposed that is all that is needed
at the present time.
