FTce-Holder Bill Unconstitutional.
Huron.-That the Birch free holder
bill passed by the last session Of the
legislature defining a freeholder for
tie purpose of signing a saloon petit
ticn Will be declared unconstitutional
BY the supreme court. is the belief OF
Attorney Ernest d. EIDE of this city.
Nj EIDE was a member Of the house
when it passed the hl'l and states that
both in the committee room and on
lne floor of the house attempts We're
made to amend The bill by combining
the majority in the election not the
majority of the to..i number Of voters
but to those voting on the Icf Use
question. Both attempts failed after
much debate and The Journal OF the
house records the defeat Of the amend
ment and the passage OF the bill With
out 1t.
The measure containing an emer-
gency clause, was passed by the sem
ate without amendment, signed hE the
governor and became a law III time to
govern the spring elections. S9me-
where in its course of passage. after
leaving the house the clause voting
on such proposition" that had been de-
feated in the house found its way into
the law of this state. The 'drys' OF
the house did not learn Of the amend
ment till some time after the legisla.
ture had adjourned and the law apnar'
emily was in full force and effect.

OBITUARY
s. w. HoRNRR

Simpson W. Horner, D. D., died
of pneumonia Sunday at his par
sonage home in Pennington, Michi-
gan, a suburb of Detroit. Resi-
dents of River Falls in the mid sew
entities will remember him as the
pastor of the Methodist Episcopal
church, and mourn his death as a
common loss. He was everybody's
Brother Homer.
Gone; one of the most charming
men | ever knew. Merry, genial,
humorous, refined. A gifted Chris
tian gentleman. In his maturer
years the most alluring pulpits in
this part of the land have invited
him, and always has he been the
pet and pride of the church and
community of his location.
Mrs Smith met him some four
years ago, and reported him to have
lost none of the charm of person or
spirit. He looked distinguished"
as she expressed it. His devoted
family sit beside a desolate hearth
stone. "Rest him God"

JAMES H FIELD

James H. Field passed away at
his home in the Fourth Ward, this
city, last Friday, February %, at
the age of 70 years, 8 months and
Is days.
Mr.. Field was one of this COM
munity's oldest and best known
pioneer settlers. He was a native
of New York state, and came here
with his parents when he was very
young, settling in Big River. AT
the beginning of the Civil War he
enlisted in Company C." 50th
Wisconsin Infantry, and served
faithfully throughout.
On February %, 1873, he married
Miss Clarissa Reynolds, of this

on their farm in Pierce Valley, NOV
ing from there to this city. Two
children were born to them, son
and daughter. The daughter,
Mrs. A. G. Boles, died about thir-
teen years ago. The son, Frederick,
survives. Mrs. Field died Deem
Der 2, 1910.
Everyone here abouts, both old
and young, knew and loved Jim"
Field. Jim" took things as they
came, the sweet and the bitter, and
neither appeared TO affect in the
least his kindly, generous DISPOSE
ton. He had much misfortune,
but he bore it all smilingly and did
his best with willing heart. About
ten years before her death Mrs.
Fields eyesight became impaired,
and during the last few years of her
life she was totally blind. Mr..
Fields loving devotion and his
noble efforts in keeping at work,
even in spite of his advanced years,
to keep his invalid wife in comfort,
were OGauC1lul LCSLlLuOEldIS " A1o
sterling character. A host of
friends will miss his CHEEKY greet
ing. but the example of his honest,
wholesome life will long remain in
the memory of all who knew him.
The community unites in extending
heartfelt sympathy to the bereaved
son, who for SO many years
faithfully attended his aged parents.
The funeral services were held at
the Congregational church parlors
at two o'clock Sunday afternoon,
Rev. William ]. Gray officiating.
l. N. Nichols Post, G. A. r., of
which Mr.. Field was a member,
assisted in the services and marched
to the grave in Greenwood cemetery
to pay their final tribute to the de-
parted comrade.

j. C. R0CKWELL'S SUNNY
SOUTH CO.

After years of experience with all
the greatest colored shows of recent
times and years of endeavor as a
manager of his own aggregation J.
c Rockwell has reached a secure
place in the recognition of the
theatre going public. To. day it is
a conceded and undisputed fact
that his Sunny South company,
which will appear in the Opera
House, River Falls. Tuesday even
ing, March Is, is one of the strong
est, brightest, most complete and
capable colored organizations ever
sent on tour 1t is also one of the
largest ever organized to present
this line of amusement, being COM
posed of about twenty five colored
people, each and everyone an ex-
pert in speciality work, who do
everything funny that darkies can
do so we'll and keep the audience
in constant state of laughter and
excitement from start to finish. Mr..
Rockwell does not believe in putting
the greater part of his salary allot-
ment in one or two acts and allow
ing the balance of the performance
to suffer through the employment
of cheaper ones, which always dis
gust the experienced patron, but he
has found that the expenditure of
money for the purpose of making
each act and detail complete pays
twice over in the box office receipts.
This explains why the performances
given by this company are always
up-to-the. minute and sends the
audience home feeling satisfied that
they have had full value for their
money.
The organization is accompanied
by solo concert band and a sup.
erb orchestr a. The band will head
the Koontown parade, taking place
! at noon.
The prices of admission have
been placed at 25, IS and so cents
