nous Iron brigade, died at his home
near this city to-day. He was en-
gagged in every important battle in
which the army of the Potomac par

leg was amputated on the field by
his captors. At GordonsESlle
second amputation was perf4rmed,
and then he went to Andersonville
prison. Later on he was confined
in Castle Thunder and Libby prison.
After his exchange he suffered an
other amputation of his leg at An
napolis, and on his return to Wis
consin the leg was amputated at the
hip. For all that he was disabled,
he was a successful farmer and ac-
cumulated considerable property.
Frank Hare enlisted from the
town of Trimbelle, this county, in
Co. B, 9th Regt., Wis. Vol. Unfit,
May 10, 1861, which company and

THOMPSON HURST.

Thompson Hurst died at his home
in South Fork on Feb. Sth at the
age of 81 years and days.
Mr.. Hurst was born at Lisbon,

On June 9, 1874 he married Jane
Fisher and in 1864 he came to RIVER
Falls with his family and settled on
a farm where he has since resided.
Up to a year ago he was in the best
of health but his health failed and
for the past year he had been great
sufferer. He was ever a kind hus-
band and loving father. The de-
ceased leaves a wife and two chill
dren, Mrs. w. w. Wilcox and Frank
Hurst, to mourn his loss. The
funeral was held from the residence
at l o'clock Feb. 9Th, the Reverend
Fred w. Harris officiating. The
body was laid to rest in Greenwood

Washington's birthday, Feb. %,
has been set by the Hudson Ski
Club as the date for its tournament.
The club is rejoicing in the fact
that the highest and best hill in the
Northwest has been secured by
them and it is expected that the
greatest skiing ever seen in the Sc
parts will be seen at the forthcom-
ing event. The hill has a height of
$50 feet and to this will be added a
tower fifty feet high, giving the ski
ers a run of over 400 feet, much
more than the hills at Saltwater,
Red Wing and St. Paul. Many of
the most proficient skiers of the
country are expected and it will be
worth going many miles to see
man travel on skis down an almost
perpendicular hill 400 feet high and
make a jump of over 100 feet.
c. E. Haugen is the clubs secre-
tary and he is kept busy adding new
names to the books, for all interested
in the sport may join, and many are
doing so to commend the boys in
the movement they have Inaugural
ted.

Rev. o. P. Christian of Eau Claire,
Dist, Supt. for the Children's
Home Society of Wisconsin, is in
the city looking after the interests
of that society. He has taken three
children from this county du1ing
the last year, and assures us that
they are placed in good homes and
are doing we'll. Last year the socie-
ty handled 1913 children and 2,118
have been placed in good homes
since it was organized fifteen years
ago. This society not only places
children, but visits them each year,
to see that they are properly cared
for. 1t is undenominational, and
the superintendents work with the
churches, all of them being mem
bers, chosen from the different de-
nominations. Prof. w. H. Cheever,
President of the Milwaukee Normal,
is president of the society. The
Main office is located in Milwaukee,
and Rev. ]. P. Dysart is the Supt.
| Hon. Edward T. Fairchild is the
secretary. The motto of the society
is, "a Christian Home for Every
Independent Child" Twenty-Five
states are federated together, and
are working under the direction Of
National society which meets
every year in convention to arrange
work for the coming year. Thirty
thousand children have been given
homes through these societies. The
child problem was never so much
discussed as at the present time.
The Delineator, Ladies Home
Journal, Home Companion, Scrap
Book and other periodicals are Civ
ing a great deal of attention to this
subject. Mr.. Christian is looking
for homes for some baby boys, and
would be glad to hear from those
who would like to adopt baby.
The applicant must be in good
standing in the community, finan-
cially able to care for it, and have the
endorsement of some local pastor.
The society is supported by the free
will offerings of the people all over
the state.

Huge chunks of assorted weather
have been flying our way this past
week. The cold snap with its raw
winds terminated in rain Tuesday
night and ended in thaw Wednes-
day which has taken off most of the
snow, spoiled the sleighing, flooded
the roads and encouraged muddy
thoroughfares. But the paper
comes out to-day with the sun
brightly shining and the air like an
April day-marvelous weather for
a River Falls February.

At the recent meeting of the
Board of Regents held in Madison
the following decisions affecting
our local school were reached
l. Owing to insufficient patron
age the kindergarten Department
will be discontinued after this year.
The attendance is very small in this
department this year.
2. After this year pupils in the
Model grades will not be charged
tuition.
2. No summer school will be
organized here the coming summer
as the present policy of the Board
is to establish one school each
summer. 1t is more than likely
that school will be granted in 1909
if sufficient funds can be secured
for the purpose, from the next legis-
lature.
4. A change was made in the
elementary course of study whereby
students may be allowed to substi-
tute twenty weeks of Domestic
Science or twenty weeks of Manual
Training for studies of equal time
not usually taught in the rural and
graded schools. This last provision
is for all the schools. The other
three apply to the local school, only.
The Board allowed the River
Falls School $500 for material needs,
and turned over the unexpended
balance from the appropriation for
an addition to be used for furniture
and improvement of the grounds.
This balance amounts to something
oyer $500.

The Commercial Club of Menom
onie has invited the Wisconsin Press
Association to hold it's annual meet
ing in Menomonie on March 10-1l,
and the offer has been accepted.
AS the dates are tentative it would
seem more convenient for the majority
if the latter part of the week were
chosen in place of Tuesday and
Wednesday.
On Friday and Saturday of this
week N. C. Crawley, the state or
ganizer of the A. S. of E., will de-
liver addresses in Opera Hall. His
topic will be the exchange system.
Meetings will be held at 2:30 and
1880 p. m. on Friday and at 2:30 on
Saturday afternoon. All farmers
and the public in general are invi-
ted to attend.
A MishicotC, Wis, couple, Mr..
and Mrs. John Bensinger, have just
become parents to a third pair of
twins born on the first of February.
The couple have had seventeen
children of whom twelve are still
living. The twins were born in
1908, 1905 and this year and all are
in fine health. The latest pair con-
sists of boy and girl. Roose-
welt should send the parents a
medal.
Easter, according to the almanacs
for 1908, does not come until Sunday,
April 10Th, which is rather late
date for the festival to fall upon.
Few know the rule by which the
date Of Easter is ascertained which
is this" Easter day : is always
the First Sunday after the Full
Moon, which happens upon or next
after the Twenty-first Day of March
and if the Full Moon happen upon
Sunday, yesterday is the Sunday
after" However in reckoning the
full moon is not the real or aStrono-
mica1 ful1-moon, but the fourteenth
day of lunar month, according to
an ancient ecclesiastical computa-
ton. The earliest date upon which
Easter can possibly fall is the 22nd
of March, the latest is the 25th of
April. Those who live to see 1943
will have the pleasure of seeing it
fall on the latter date for the first
time in sixty years, and only those
born in 1918 have seen it fall on the
earliest date and it will not happen
again till after the year 2013.

It would never do for the alleged
republican daily newspapers to open
ly advocate in their editorial columns
the nomination of Gov. Johnson for
the presidency by the democrats,
hence recourse is had to the news
columns. It is costly to advertise in
the news columns of big daily news
paper, but the interests that are op-
posed to both Roosevelt and Bryan
do not care for expense. It is claimed
by those who profess to know that, il
Taft should be nominated by the re.
publicans the Interests" will
squander 81, 900, 900 to defeat Bryan in
the democratic national convention.
If the lavish use of money can &C.
complish Bryan's defeat he will be
defeated. But in every state in the
union the "unbought and unterrified
democracy" is making q gallant fight
for the eloquent Nebraskan.

Bishop Fowler of the Methodist
Episcopal church died in New York
on Friday last. For four years, from
1892 to 1896, he resided in Minneapolis,
where the Fowler Memorial church
was named in his honor. Bisho1
Fowler was an able and eloquent
ecclesiast and a ''practical" christian
that is, he practiced to the letter
what he preached. It was with deer
regret that the people of Minnesota
learned of his death.
