part of last week from a business
trip to New Orleans, La. While
there they ran across Jay c.
Truesdell, formerly of this city,
who is attending college in that
city, and as a side issue, has taken
the agency for line of autos.
A stag party, held in the Odd
Fellows hall provided a fund of
social enjoyment to about thirty
young men of the city last evening
The River Falls City Orchestra was
secured to furnish music and played
almost constantly throughout the
evening, adding greatly to the

Tuesday, February 6, Rev. Father

The wedding was celebrated at the
home of the brides parents, Mr..
and Mrs. Anton Volesky. The
bride and groom will leave next

ExGov. Robert B. Glenn of
North Carolina addressed large
and appreciative audience at the
M. E. church last Saturday evening
upon the subject: The Great
National Remedy for Evil" The
Governor delivers his lectures with
an earnestness and conviction that
is both entertaining and inspiring.
He has a wide knowledge of the
problems of the day and he defines
his ideas upon reform in a clear
and comprehensive manner. This
is the second opportunity River
Falls audiences have had to hear
Governor Glenn, aud, judging from
his increasing popularity here, an
even larger audience would gladly
welcome him upon return engage
ment.
The moving pictures taken on the
famous Miller Bros. 101 Ranch,
which were exhibited to capacity
houses at the Gem theatre Monday
and Tuesday of this week, were as
spectacular and interesting as any
circus that ever showed here. The
feats of the cow boys were wonder
full in cleverness and daring. In
one series a cow boy was shown
jumping from the back of racing
pony onto the neck of a galloping
steer, throwing the steer in its
tracks. In a wrestling match"
between a cow boy and a large
steer, the man appeared to escape
serious injury time after time only
by the cleverest and quickest man
uvers. The bucking bronco riders
were exciting subjects, and while
most of them appeared as much at
ease on the jumping, squirming an
imals as on terre frma, several of
them took some rough tumbles.
The depletion of the frontier life in
the pioneer days, the buffalo hunt,
the herds of cattle and coralling
and branding of cattle and horses
were other interesting features
shown.
