The supper given by the ladies of
the Catholic church for the benefit of
the Sisters of Mercy, at Agency hall
last Monday evening, was a most ex
cellent one, and was quite liberally
patronized, but not as generally as
we could have wished. It was cer
tainly given for a worthy object, and
every business man in town should
have aided it by his patronage.
The Ottawa till.) Journal says that
our friends, the Hatheway Bros.,have
just shipped to Wheaton, Traverse
county "one of the finest lots of
mares ever sent from LaSalle county.
The load is composed of high grade
Norman and Shire mares and is de
cidedly a splendid lot. If the Minne

they dont know a good horse when
they see it, that's all."
The Western Rural, In an article
on "The Hired Man and Milking,"
says: Some people hire such cheap
help that they should not expect any
thing efficient, and it we deliberately
hire such help, and it kicks the cow
and swears at her aud only half milks
her, we are getting pretty much all
that we pay for. A good deal is said
about thorough-bred stock, and not
near as much as might profitably be
said about thorough-bred help.
The Jacobson county seat bill has
passed the senate by a vote of 34 to 1.
The bill is amended so as to require
the signatures of sixty per cent of
the legal voters on the petition and
fifty-five per cent of the votes cast at
the election for removal. The Whea
ton Gazette says that in Traverse
county "there will be little difficulty
in obtaining these and the tax-payers
can now feel certain of speedy relief
from the injustice they have so long
suffered."

The advertising columns ot a local
paper have become to be considered
the reflex of the business community
in which it is published. If the
columns are well patronized aud in
telligently edited the impression is at
once formed that the business men
are wide-awake, enterprising and
bound* to succeed in pushing their
town to the front. On the other
band, if the advertising columns are
but poorly patronized, no matter how
good a paper tho oditor may succeed
in issuing, the public at once stamps
the community iu which it is pub
lished, as dead, lacking In public
spirit, and devoid of that push which
every live town should possess.
Wheaton Gazette: Mrs. Ed. Chell,
of Tiutah, came to Wheaton yester
day and swore out a warrant for the
arrest of one God fry Johnson, charg
ing him with assault with intent to
commit 'rape. Constable Pickle
started for the residence of the party
at once bat in some way Johnson re
ceived notice of what was going on
and made good his escape. The con
stable searched all night for him but
was unable to get any trace of him.
According to the statement of Mrs.
Chell he assaulted her on several dif
ferent occasions, but in each instance
she succeeded 111 protecting herself.
Johnson is an unmarried man and
has always bore a good reputation.
If captured he is liable to serve a term
of years ih the penitentiary as Mrs.
Chell claims to have testimony that
will prove his guilt beyond a question.

It would seem froiu the communi
cation of E. E. Solsetli, postmaster at
Nash, which appears iu another
column, that he is sadly disgusted
with politicians, political parties,
congress, the supreme court, inter
state commission, and, in fact, our
government and our great republic,
and has about come to the conclusion
tkat everything is going to the ever
histing bow-wows. Well, there is
one cousolatlou we can offer our
friend Solseth, and that is this:
America is not the only country on
the lace of the earth, and If he knows
of a better one, there is no law pre
venting lilui from emigrating there.
Every news Item we get luto our

those who know of occurrences of in

be delighted to publish, but for some
reason they neglect to let us know.
The public
large seem to take it for
granted that we neglect to know ev
erything, and although we try hard to
keep pace with the tunes, it's a phys
ical
impossibility
to get all the news.

templating a journey we would be

it. We ask this as a favor.

Never send a dollar away from
home when the article that dollar can
purchase can be obtained at home.
Money is our financial blood. Its
circulation keeps the business body
alive. Bleed that body by sending
your money away from home and
soon trade will put
on
a look of lethar­
gy and inactivity. Always trade at
home. It is twice blessed It helps
the persons patronized, and finds its
way to you again. Spend your mouey
with merchants who help sustaiu the
city you reside in, who pay taxes, and
are with you the year through. And
then merchants should see to it that
they do their part toward making the
town in which they reside attractive
by encouraging all necessary improve
ments, and thereby do their share in
giving employment to the laboring
man so that he can support his family,
and be able to
purchase
more liberally
and pay for what he purchases. In
other words, let us help one another,
by forming a sort of mutual protective
society. We hold that the business
man who does not recognize it as his
duty and for his best interest to help
improve the town where he resides
aud where he has made his money, is
not entitled to be ranked among its
best citizens. We are in favor of
home protection, of taking care of the
town in which we live, and of letting
other towns take care of themselves.

English Shire Horses.
We are a great admirer of good
horses, and never miss an opportunity
te take a good look and examine
them closely. Siuce taking charge of
the TBIBUKE we have constantly
urged upon the farmers of Stevens
county the necessity and importance
of improving their breed of horses,
contending that it does not pay to
raise scrubs. Yesterday we had the
privilege of examining two of the
finest English Shire horses that we
ever saw—and we have seen a good
many. These horses, "Guardsman"
and "Black Chief," owned by the
Minnesota Agricultural company, of
Hancock, Minn., will make the sea
son at Morris. Guardsman is five
years old and was Imported one year
ago. Black Chief is two years old,
and was imported Jast August. He is
perfection itself, while Guardsman
cannot well be excelled. As draft
horses, we doubt if they have any
superiors in the state of Minnesota.
Farmers and horse raisers, who wish
to improve their stock, should not
fail to examine these magnificent
horses. They are grand specimens of
a grand breed.

An Indian Entertainment.
In compliance with a kind invita
tion from the Mother Superior, we
visited the Indian Shool yesterday.
It being a holiday, au outertaiumeiit
was given by the Indian children,
consisting of singing, dialogues, cha
rades, plays, Ac., which to us was ex
tremely interesting. While witness
ing the performers as they went
through their different parts, we
could
not help thinking what these child
ren were one year ago when they
came to the school and what they are
now. When they arrived at the
school (twenty-live iu number) many
of them could not speak a word of
English, aud now most of them sperfk
the language fluently and correctly
have learned to read, and quite a
number of tlibm to write, so that they
write letters back to their former
homes the girls havo learned to sew,
knit, aud perforin household work,
and the boys are learning to do farm
work. They vary in age from six or
seven to seventeen or eighteen. None
are taken under the age of six or over
seventeen. Among tliein are some as
bright and pretty children as any one
would wish to see. In accordance
with the contract with the United
States government, the girls are edu
cated and taught to do household
work, and the boys have practical ed
ucation iu tanning. None of tlient
hare been at the school more than a
year, and the progress they have made
is truly wonderful. None but the
most untiring patieuce and earnest
eudeavor oil the part of the Sisters
who have charge or them could have
brought about such a won lerlui
change in these Indian children. Too
much credit cannot be given the Sis
ters for the good worK they have don
aud are doing.
The manner iu which Uie children
went through the parts assigned them
iu the entertainment would been cred
itable to white children, and shows
that Indians are capable of not. only
being civilized, but being made valu
able members of civilized society.
No pains are spared by the Sisters
to fully cenip'y with the requirements
of the government in training these
"children of the forest," aud it is grat
ifying to kuow that they have suc
ceeded most admirably.
To-night the Mother Superior and
one of the Sisters leave here for the
Fort Berthold^Reservation, iu the ex
treme uothwest section of North Da
kota, for the purpose of bringing back
with them thirty Arikaree, Gros Ven
tre and Matulan Indian children, in
accordance with a contract with the
government to train and educate
them. Surely the good wishes of our
readers will go with them in their
lougaud trying journey and earnestly
hope for their safe return. They ex
pect to be gone two weeks.

Railroads.
We are not one of those who believe
that all railroad companies are robbers,
or, as the saying goes, "soulless
corpora
tions." The cry that "the railroads are
robbing the farmers of the west," may
be answered by tlie statement that there
would be mighty few western farmers
wli® wonld have anything to be robbed
of had it not been for railroads. Farm
ing in the west and northwest would not
be the most profitable business in the
world if there were no railroads to carry
farm products to market. To bring the
matter right home, how much would
land in Stevens county be worth today
if there was no railroad running through
it? Probably from $1.25 to $2 per acre.
Whereas, with our present railroad fa
cilities it is worth ten times that amount.
And what would be the profits of a
farm if the farmer had to haul his pro
ducts with a team of oxen or horses? It
is well enough to think of these things
occasionally. That there are cases where
railroad companies are sometimes oppres
sive we will not deny. That is human
nature, and that trait is not unfrequently
exhibited by individuals. And we be
lieve that as a rule railroad companies
are quite as liberal and as ready to grant
favors as are individuals. We have al
ways found this to be so. Take, for in^
stance, the Manitoba railroad manage,
ment's treatment of our own town of
Morris and Stevens county. Unless we
have been misinformed, this railroad
company has almost invariably been lib
erally disposed towards our people, and
many of our business men have told us
that whenever they have asked any rea
sonable favors they have always been
granted, and that they have had no good
reason to complain of the treatment they
have received. And we are quite certain
that the Minitoba is at the present time
more than ever disposed to aid this coun
ty in its efforts to induee settlers to lo
cate here. And let us say right here that
Mr. H. S. Judson, land agent for this
road, is entitled to a good deal of credit
for the friendly feeling that the officials
of the Manitoba entertain towards our
town and county and should Mr. Jud
son be successful in certain negotiations
now pending, the people of this county
will have still greater reasons for thank*
ing him for his efforts to induce new set
tlers to come here.

Free Text Books.
EDITOR TKIBUNE:—I was pleased
to note your article on "Free Text
Books," liaviug had some experience
of the practical working of the system
iu the last two or three years.
In one town in Minnesota, of about
the size of Morris, the plan has been
in operation for several years, and It
was found by actual experiment,
that the average cost per pupil lor
the books used In the first eight years
of school was but 43% cents a year.
One reason for the lessened cost is
found in the fact that books are not
thrown aside as soon as one class in
done with them, but are passed on to
tho next class. Another reason is,
that In a school having an annual
enrollment of 300, there arc rarely
more than 250 In actual attendance.
Hence it, is not necessary to buy books
for the 300, and a direct saving to the
district is made in this way.
It might be thought that because
the books are public property the
pupils would be careless in using
them but, in fact, they seem to be
kept better than the average pupil
keeps his own books. This is probably
due largely to the fact that teachers
feel personally responsible for the
care of the.books in their respective
rooms.
An effective system has been de
vised for keeping account of the books,
and each teacher is required to report
to the district clerk at the end of the
term the condition of all books in use
in his room.
Of course, one of the greatest bene
fits to the schools of the free text
book system is that it enables many
parents to send their children to
school more regularly, and keeps
them in school longer than they
would otherwise feel possible to do.
The gain in this respect is, I believe,
considerable, and I agree with you
in thinking that it is only a question
of time when free text book§ will be
the rule, not the exception.
I want to purchase about fifteen
good yearling steers.

EDITOR TRIBUNE :—It is a matter
of some surprise to see such candid
and liberal minded people as one5
would expect to find among the read
ers of all the journals, still wasting
their time and valuable newspaper
space talking tariff. The people have
just paid the heavy expenses of a
year's tariff talk by our great jaw
gymnasium at Washington, that in
fernal fraud, made up of corporation
attorneys, bankers, thieves, perjurers
and political strumpets, and still the
farmers seem not only willing but
anxious to be played for fools.
Farmers, it is not necessary to con
tinue the farce. The politicians are
through with you and the tariff for
this year. You can take a rest, raise
another crop for the corporations and
be ready to make a red hot fight on
the tariff four years hence in the
mean time those private concerns, the
trusts, banks and transportation kings
will squeeze from you the necessary
funds to carry the next election in
their favor. Already they are putting
the squeezers in working order. Soon
the great rail road clearing house,
which is another proof that rail roads
cannot be controlled by law, will bs
in operations, its boss attorney in the
Presidential chair, that double-eyed
humbug, the inter-state commission,
to protect it from legislation or judic
ial aotion, the supreme court their
willing tool, congress will soon take
from circulation the 346,000,000 green
backs which are in the way of the
money trust, aud turn them into in
terest-bearing bouds as a safe invest
ment for idle capital for you to pay
interest on, and then you can also
have the blessed privilege of borrow
ing the same amount of the bond
holders' notes and pay interest on
those that Shy lock, assisted by this
government, may gee a mortgage
on everything not already mortgaged.
Grand finauceeriug! great republic!
Intelligent people, the national
board of trade demands that silver
coinage shall be suspended, and as all
these institutions have a very loud
voice, and as you have put their at
torneys and business managers iu
control of every branch of govern
ment it is safe to say that they will
have their way. They have ceased to
fear your vote as they have discovered
that you have not got sense euougli to
use It for yourselves, and where party
prejudice will not control, money will.
Ben is a Republican beoause he
thinks the Democrats are wrongs
find Peter Is a Democrat because life
thinks the Republicans are wrong*
They are both right, and when they
each compare the' positious of their
respective parties with questions of
justice, equity and humanity tber
they will be ready to meet each
other and work for their commoi
