Obituary.
WILLIAM H. TOZER.

William H. Tozer died at his home
in Hudson Wednesday night, Nov.
27, 1907. He had been in feeble
health for several years, and an
attack of pneumonia found him its
submissive victim.
Mr.. Tozer was born on the Spald-
ing farm in Troy, March l, 1854.
His parents moved to River Falls
while he was a child and he had
lived here ever since, except the last
six years which he had spent in
Hudson. Dec. "a, 1881 he married
Miss Belle Ostrom of this city. -Four
children were born to Mr.. and Mrs.
Tozer, two sons and two daughters,
who with their mother survive him.
Mr.. Tozer was man of more
than ordinary capabilities and was
highly respected by his fellow citi-
zens and frequently honored with
an office of trust. For eleven years
he was assessor in this city and had
held some elective Office ever since
he came of age. He was a member
of the Ancient Order of United
Workmen.
The funeral services were held at
the family residence at Hudson Sat
urday at 10 o'clock in the forenoon,
conducted by the Rev. Guy Camp
bell and the remains were brought
to River Falls and inferred in
Greenwood Cemetery.
The deceased was the last of a
family of the four children of Mr..
and Mrs. VIM. A. Tozer, who settled
here in 1850, coming from Ohio. j..
A. Tozer, the oldest son, Familiarity
called Bert, died in 1887; a daughter,
Mrs. John Fisher, died in 1895, and
George Tozer another son, died at
Spooner two years ago.

RIVER FALLS p,
St. THOMAS S.

1t isn't often in this region that
Thanksgiving is good day for a
foot ball game, but this year was
one of the not often years. True,
the wind was trife cold for specta-
tors during the early part of the
forenoon, but it died down before
the game was over, SO that even the
spectators were comfortable. Not
the least of their comfort came from
the way in which the local boys
were doing business. In the open
ing game between the local schools
third team and a team from the
Washington school of Minneapolis,
the visitors put up plucky fight
and kept the home team going all
the time, but were unable to score,
while the locals annexed two touch
downs, scoring 10 points and win
ming the game. When the big game
opened, the St. Thomas team made
likely appearance, and there were
a good many who figured that they
would give the highs a happy time.
They did, but they couldn't stay to
enjoy the happy time themselves.
For little while they were strictly
in it, and during the first half they
kept the score down to 7 to 0 in
favor of the home team, coming
back in the second half with a rush
as though they expected to do
things. But they were all in. They
were running when all out of condi-
ton, and were lucky to keep the
locals score down to %, three touch
downs being scored against them in
the second half. Their lone score
came from a fuke when one of their
players tore the ball from Frank
Symes arms and ran 20 yards to
touchdown. 1t was a good game,
clean and hard, but not as good as
some that have been played here
this fall. However it was a good
finish for the season, and leaves the
home team an excellent record for
the falls work.

The Lecture Course
Next Number is December ii
Hints For Working that
Seat.Checking Stunt

The second number of the lecture
course this year is lecture by DR..
w. ]. Dawson of London, England.
The date of the lecture is Wednes-
day, Dec. IL. Seats for this num-
Der will be on sale at Taggart's on
and after next Saturday. at 1000
O'Clock, a. m.
In accordance with the announce
ment made at the time of the last
seat sale, numbers for position in
line at the time of sale will be giy-
en- out at 1880 and thereafter Satur-
day morning. Some have asked
what is the object of having the
sale at a later time than or 1880 in
the morning. The answer has been
made number of times. 1t is be-
cause there are patrons of the course
who cannot get in by the earlier
hour. Also it has been asked, why
have the people number? The an
swer is, to avoid the necessity of all
those who want to buy seats stand
ing in line in the store for from one
to three hours on a day of sale.
When one has his number he can
then leave the store and stay away
until the time for his number to be
called and be sure that he will have
his place in line. If he has number
l or 2 or up to 5 he will need to be
in the store at 10 o'clock. If he has
a higher number there is no need of
his coming to the store until after
10 o'clock the time depending on
the numbers. Experience has shown
that not more than three people per
minute will buy seats. The aver
age is about two and half. Hence
number Is is sure of his place in
line if he reaches the store by 1905,
number 80 if there at 1910, etc.

Prof. J. c. Brewer, principal of
the New Richmond high school,
promised the boys of his high
school football team that he would
treat them to an oyster supper
upon their return from the game
with the River Falls high school
team and although his boys lost the
game AZ to 0, the professor furnish
ed the feast just the same as if they
had won.
The ST. Croix County board of
Supervisors refused to elect Co.
Road Commission, which Office was
created by the last legislature.
The board took so much notice of
the new law, however, as to appoint
committee to notice how the law
works in counties where it is in
operation and report to the county
board at it's next annual meeting.
This committee consists of the
following named supervisors-A.
]. Walker, C. N. Cole and Geo. w.
Chinook, Jr.
The Congress now in session
will be urged to remove the tariff
of six dollars ton on print paper.
1t is hoped that by renting this
tax a reduction in the price of
paper will follow. 1t takes an
enormous amount of wood to pro-
duce sufficient amount of paper
to supply the demands of newspa-
per and book publishers and the
forests of the United States are
being rapidly depleted of wood
suitable to make pulp for print
paper. But Canada has vast for
ests in which there is practically an
inhaustible supply of the soft woods
that will make paper. 1t looks as
if it were criminal waste of
material to commit to the flames
paper that has been once printed
upon. If some process for remov-
ing the ink from this paper, reduc-
ing it to the liquid form and again
manufacturing it for print, a great
saving could be effected.
The extension department Of the
University of Wisconsin is prepar-
ing to aid the farmers of the state
in forming farmers clubs, and in
arranging programmes and dis
cussions of important public ques-
tions of the day. In this connec-
ton list of subjects Of direct in
crest to the farmers of Wisconsin
has been prepared, and information
for use on either side of debates
has been collected for distribution
to clubs on application, together
with full instruction as to the
methods of preparing for debates
and conducting them. A new book
on 1.-The Principles of Effective
Debating" just published by Prof.
R. L. Lyman of the department of
public speaking at the University
was prepared for the purpose of
bringing the department into con-
tact with those interested in debat
ing and discussion of public ques-
tons, and offering them assistance.

the occasion by having a dinner at the

was time to call for the reckoning VIII

Betty" said he, we've dropped
guineas. See if you can find them"
Betty went down on her hands and
knees and found the guinea, which had
rolled under the fender
That's very good girl, Betty" said
John Scott, pocketing the coin, ''and
when you find the other you can keep
It. for your trouble" And the prudent
brothers went with light hearts to the
play and SO eventually to the bench
