of Mrs. F. A. Haling, gathered at
her home Tuesday to congratulate
her up on her birthday anniversary.
Mrs. John Zimbrick and two chill
dren, Lloyd and Irma, left last Sat
urday morning for their home at
Beardsley, Mimi, after a weeks
visit with relatives in this city and
at Gertrude.
One of the attractions scheduled
for early production at Opera Hall
Sept. 4, is the new comedy drama
Panama" tale of the great canal.
The story embraces a series of Incl
dents occurring during the construc-
ton of the Great Panama Canal and
is full of life and action. The play
is one OF the big scenic productions
of recent success.
The game and fish laws were
amended at the late session of the
Legislature in many particulars.
The season for trout fishing is ex-
tended to September l. The old
law forbids fishing after Aug. 18th.
Trout must not be taken under six
inches in length aid no one shall
have in his possession more than ten
pounds on one day.
The pump at the electric power
house has been operated six years,
doing excellent work, without re-
pairs. 1t was thought best that it
should be now overhauled and such
repair work done on it as its condi-
ton seems to need. In the mean
time that it is not in service the
pump at the upper station will be
operated to supply the demand for
city water.
Some pretty stringent-drastric-
laws have been passed to prevent or
restrict the practice among the kids
of smoking cigarettes. If any one
knows of an instance where one
has quit smoking since the law was
passed we would be pleased to re-
port the fact. We do not know of
any-except dead ones. The kids
that smoked, smoke.
The aspect of the landscape is
perfect in it's beauty. The city
never before looked so neat on
lawns, streets and verdure. The
grass is everywhere a vivid green,
most satisfying of all colors to the
vision. The magnificent trees along
the streets are grand in their expand
ing majesty with crowns of umbra-
geous foliage, abundant, profuse,
glorious.
]. w. Reynolds new residence is
so far completed that it lacks only
the putting in of the interior wood
work finish. He will have one of
the most elegant and convenient
residences in the city. The plaster
ing has just been finished and this
with the stone and cement work OF
the basement an d the porches was
done by the Thomases and was done
without flaw.
That the school marmS are getting
on to their job with increasing in
terest is indicated by the increasing
attendance at the summer schools,
where special training for their
work as teachers is given. The in
stitute at Ellsworth this year had
the largest attendance ever and that
at Hudson this year was about equal
to that of last year when a larger
number attended than ever before.
Sheriff Kealey and policemen
O'Keefe and Carroll have been on
the lookout for a man who has been
employed recently by Sumner Dress
er of Kinnickinnic. On Wednesday
Mr.. Dresser missed both his hired
man and sixty dollars and it is sup
posed that they went together. No
trace of him has been found but it
is expected that he will be appre-
hended as he is very easily indenti-
fed by hair p.-Hudson Star

The district clerk, in completing
the school census of 1907 for Joint
District No. 1, towns of Troy, Kin
nickinnic, River Falls and City OF
River Falls, finds there are 59S
children of school age-between
four and twenty years within the
limits of the district. Of this mum
Der 275 are males and 320 of the
opposite" sex. This is falling
off from last years census, when
the number recorded was 653. We
notice from exchanges that many
other cities in the north half of the
state record a similar falling off in
