A week of gloom and dampness
eliminated Wednesday in a drizz1y
rain which at times was mingled
with hail. There were also several
prolonged rolls of distant thunder
heard in the afternoon, rather an
unusual phenomenon for this time
of the year.
Frank Hemenway of St. Mary,
Idaho, and his sister Lucinda Hem
enway of Rutland, VT, paid visit
to their brother Justin here Monday
and Tuesday. After a visit to rela-
tives at New Richmond Miss Hem
enway will accompany her brother
on his return to Idaho.
Mrs. Bertha Kunx-Baker will en-
terrain RIVER Falls patrons of the
Lecture Course this coming Satur-
day evening. She is considered one
of the most talented readers on the
American platform. If you have
not yet reserved your seat, you will
do we'll to do so at once.
Both the Normal and High Schools
closed Wednesday for the week, en-
abling teachers and pupils to spend
Thanksgiving at home if they de-
sired. Quite number of the stu
dents at the Normal availcd them
selves of the short recess and took
the afternoon train, Wednesday, for
their respective homes.
The deer hunters have struggled
into the city on every train from the
north since last Friday and nearly
thirty deer fell victims of their Prov
ess. Every hunter obtained one
deer and most of them had two, the
number now allowed by the state
law. Those who have returned thus
far from the quest of the goodly
venison are Lutte Green, M. L.
Briggs, John Foley, Richard Hagg,
Lester Griffin, George Taylor, Frank
Taylor, Hugh Morrow, B. Carolan,
Joseph Foster, Angus Dun1, Fred
Williams, ]. M. Chinook, Irving
Stewart, George Stewart, R. w.
Freeman and r. S. Freeman. MINI
rod certainly has a few followers
and admirers in River Falls, as the
list above surely shows.

Pedagogical Pedestrianism.

Some students, some teachers, ladies five,
Never dead one but all alive,
Out for the fun and some exercise.
Toward Hudson city turned their eyes.
Saturday last was the day they chose,
And all logged up in their walking Clothes
With lunches, yes, drinking cup and all,
They sauntered along, both large and small.
About ten o'clock they started out,
And reached the city without doubt,
And what do you think? they had the gall
To register there at Chaplin Hall,
After meal that scared the natives,
They started back to their relatives,
Their journey homeward was without event,
And found them not broke-but badly bent

of Globe He Denies His
Engagement.

CHICAGO, December 12.-George
Ade left Chicago this afternoon for a
trip around the world, a bachelor and
heart free, and not as the fanee of
Miss Elsie Janis, despite the double
barreled rumor to the contrary. The
farewell luncheon given by Miss Janis ,
mother to AIDE and Ort Wells, who is
to be his travelling partner in the
globe-circling trip, was frowned upon
by the author as indicating no more
than a friendly relationship between
himself and Miss Janis.

chestnut. They have had me engaged
TO Miss Taggart, Tom Taggart S daugh-

down in Richmond, Ind, and to half
a dozen others. Now, personally, I
would not mind it, but rumors of that

names are mentioned in a false light,
cause no amount of inconvenience to

sYBARIFIC INsoUc1ANcE.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 13.-''The re-
cent appearance on the stage of the
Salome dance, the attempted interpre-
tation of Beethoven symphony by a
series of body movements in rhythm,
the presentation in operate form of
the Biblical drama of Samson and
Delilah-these were alluded to by me
as mere incidents of the spirit of,
shall | say, Sybaritic insouciance that
has become so unfortunately charac-
teristic of Americans. 1t is a spirit
which. persisted in by people, leads
to national decadence.
In this strong language the Rev
Dir. Roland Cotton Smith, pastor of
the fashionable st. John s Episcopal
church. of which the mistress of the
White House and her daughter are
members, today condemned the Beetho-
ven symphony dance which Miss Dun
can recently gave in bare feet at the
New National Theater.
President Roosevelt attended one of
these performances and practically led
the tremendous, applause which follow
ed the completion of the dance.
Society has more to fear in the end
from a national spirit of irreverence
than from many misanthropes and
rogues," added DR.. Smith, in denounc-
ing the new dance.

Treated His Spouse
Cruelty.

OMAHA, December 12.-Mrs. Caspar
William Whitney has been granted a
divorce in Judge Estelle s court and
almony of $500 a month while she re-
mains unmarried. The case was not
contested, and the filing of the suit
and hearing were conducted quietly. In
the petition the defendant s name was
given as c.. William Whitney in order
to disguise the identity of the parties
The case was called during the usual
noon recess, when only two or three
lawyers interested in the case We're in
the courtroom
Mrs. Whitney, in her petition, alleg-
ed extreme cruelty and non-support.
She testified that they had not lived
together for more than a year. Last
June, she says. she came to Omaha to
live, and in September visited New
York. She testified that she called at
Whitney s office and he ordered her to
leave. She refused to go until she had
an interview with him, and he pushed
her into the hall and knocked her down.
Mrs. Whitney presented a deposition
from man who was in the office at
the time.
