W. B. Hancock and Messrs Thomas*

recent order of the Council for a side
walk on Fifth street.
Stevens county Republicans are in

means the election of a Republican
county ticket this fall.
An industrious female lat£ of Swe

Youmans & Killian haya lately
•bought some fine carriages* for their
livery stable and among them a dou
ble seated pharton that is a beauty.
The furniture for the county audi
tor's office came on Monday. It is fine
furniture and will add much to the
appearance of the auditor's office.
The county commissioners were in
session on Monday and transacted
considerable important business.
All of the commissioners were present.
Two new planks have been put on
the side walk above the feed mill.
Can we not have a few of the old
walks repaired in other portions of
the village
John Richards and his little family
have gone Westward ho! We are

Dr. A. C. Greenlee the popular den
tist of Fergus Falls will be at the
Metropolitan Hotel at Morris on the

All those needing his services should
call early. See his card.
Twenty feet of the right of way of
the Manitoba Company along Atlan
tic Avenue is to be given to the Council
for the purpose of widening that busi
ness throughfare. This will be a very
important improvement.
We must learn by experience. For
example, the magnificent harvest of
last year was by its very amplitude a
loss to the farmer. Wheat is extreme
ly low. How xAbch wiser it would
have been to have had a diversity of
crops.
We would suggest to the county
commissioners the advisability of
painting the new court house. Bricks
exposed to the weather are
soon dingy
and rough and in time will wear away
quite preceptibly. The court house is
certainly worth preserving.
But few men can erect large build
ings as economically as Mr. A. A.
Wli ittemore. He has shown this to
be lite case in building the court house,
here and the one at ""Montevideo and
his skill has also enabled him to se
cure the contract for the erectjop of
the Dakota asylum for the insane at
Jamestown by bidding lower than
other contractors- The contract for
this building was awarded him last
week and he and his sons will soon
leave for? Jamestown to begin the
work of construction. We wish him
a successful and profitable season's
work.

A parjpafhetic vendor of switches
bangs and wavelets made a brief visit
to Morris a few days ago. He had
some very hard thoughts about the
want of patronage and banging out
the town he switched on to Willmar.
He understood it was no use going on
toHancoc k or Benson. The ladies in

Go and see Rohue & Anderson's

laurels.
A poem is given in another column
which was written for# and given at
the recent entertainment in the Con
gregational church by Rev. J. P.
Hutchinson.
All the performers did well ajt (be
entertainment in the Congregational
church on Wednesday evening last
and an attractive and enjoyable pro
gramme was carried out. The church
ought to have been crowded.
At the close of the entertainment at.
the church a week ago to-night Rev.
J. P. Hutchinson thanked all who
had responded {o his invitation to aid
in getting up that really good musical
and literary entertainment. He be
lieves in the influence of poetry and
music as agents of refinement.
Members of the school board should
have that narrow-gauge ordinance re
voked. We want the young people
of Morris to have music in their list of
educational advantages. If the boy
and girls can not have music lessons
in the school they ought not to be
hindered from having them out.
II. B. McArtliur and Catherine Gra
ham were married at Hancock a week
ago to-day by Rev. G. B. Nutting
They take up their residence at once
upon Mr. McArthur's farm in the
town of Hodges. Mr. McArtliur came
to Stevens county in an early day and
has since been one of our Jeadtn
representative citizens. He has many
friends who now join in extending
congratulations tp himself and bride.
It is rumored, at least, that the right
of way of the Manitoba company is to
be cleared off through town. If
every thing is moved off and the
ground graded up, the improvement
will be a great one and the appearance
of the business part of town will be
materially changed for the better
If, however, only a part of the build
ings on the right of way are to be re
moved and others left where they are,
the improvement will hardly be worth
talking about.
About eleven o'clock this forenoon
the town was alarmed by the cry of a
runaway. Everybody immediately
took
position on the street corners and
sidewalks to take in the fun and were
waiting with eager expectancy for the
team to make its appearance, when
some one with an inquiring turn of
mind made the discovery that it was
Dr. HulburtVs stable burning and not
a runaway at all, By this time the
stable was nearly burned to the ground
The fire company, never the less, got
to the scene of action with all com
mendable haste and were there in
time to see where the stable had been.
A yery few minutes sufficed to lay the
hose, place the engine in position and
get it ready for action, but it wouldn't
act worth a cent. It had evidently
laid in the house so long without be
ing used that the valves were dried up
and not in working trim. All of
which goes to show tlip necessity of
frequent experiments with the engine
both on account of the greater cer
tainty of the engine working satisfac
tory and the training it would afford
the members of the fire company.
Foreman Munro ordered the squad be
longing to Engine No. 1 to meet at
Good's store,for thepurpose'of putting
the engine in order and testing it,this
afternoon. At the present Ave are un
able to state
the
burd's IOSSJ

A well attended and enthuastic
meeting of local base ballists was held
in the TRIBUNE office last Thursday
night and the preliminary steps to

Republican (Juft-us.
The Republican caucus for the Vill
age of Morris was held at Phoenix
Hall last Friday evening. Geo. H.
Munro was chosen chairman and E.
W. Randall secretary. The following
nine delegates were chosen to attend
the county convention held the fol
lowing day O, C. Hanson, C. L.
Brown, M. L. Thorpy, D. 1'. Whea
ton, J. D. Good A. B. Stead man, H.
E. Dye, James Dennison, and Geo. H.
Munro. A village committee was ap
pointed consisting of D. R. Suther
land, H. H. Wells and C. L. Brown.
Delegates were instructed to use
their inilunce to promote harmony in
the county convention. D. R. Suther
land struck the key note to the senti
ment of Stevevenscounty Republicans
when lie said that harmony in the
party in the county should be sacri
ficed for nothing outside of it. There
is a market difference between this
caucus and the one held here two
years ago,
