Brother Lowater, of the Spring Val
ley Sun, says that he don't believe
that Joshua, who made the sun stand
still over the Valley, could have con-
trolled the moon now prevailing
there. In that case, should Sheriff
Hyatt and Dist. Atty. Haddow be sue
cessful in their present campaign
against the "moon" their fame should
parallel that of Joshua. And that's
no josh, either.
Otto E. Bacholke and Elsie Lang,
both from the vicinity o. Saltwater,
were to have been married last We'd
nesday. Instead of the wedding, how
ever, double funeral was held for
them on that day, for on the preced-
ing Sunday, while they were return
ing from a baseball game their car
was struck by 500 line train and
they, together with their driver, Geo.
A.. Miller, lost their lives in the
wreck.
People must pay for the care OF
their lots in cemeteries whether they
want to or not. The present legisla-
ture has enacted law TO Fix and t!e
termine sums of money reasonably
necessary to provide for the general
maintenance and improvement of the
cemeteries. Being an estate is set
tied, the court having jurisdiction in
the matter is directed by the law to
set aside certain amount to insure
the perpetual care of the cemetery lot
before the estate is distributed among
the heirs.
Mr.. and Mrs. F. S. Delano, of Kala-
mazoo, Mich, and Mr.. and Mrs. v.
A. Brundage, of Western Springs, Ill,
arrived here the first of the week for
visit at the home of Mr.. N. N. Full
Ter. They made the trip by auto, COM
ing by way of Chicago and Rockford.
Ill.,, and into Wisconsin through
Madison, in that portion of their jour
ney following practically the same
route covered some 70 years ago by
Mr.. Fuller when he drove in an old
prairie schooner" from Cleveland,
Ohio, to st. Paul.
Tuesday was hot, sultry day, and
the storm which everyone prophesied
broke about three O'clock in the aft
ernoon. River Falls was on the south
edge of the worst part of the storm,
but the electrical barrage fell close
enough. A tree was struck in Ben
Rosenberg's yard, and Two bolts slith-
cred trees in Nels Hyerdahl's yard.
Sam Nelson and George Pratt were
stalled while driving into town from
the west, and while they were sitting
in their car, waiting for the storm to
case Up a bit, lightning struck a
telephone pole just few feet from
them.
Those who most observe the traffic
on the paved portion of Main street
advance the opinion that autos should
