Mr.. Bernard Dassel, formerly Secretary
of the Land Department, of the st. P. q
P. r. r., was in town Tuesday on his re-
turn from Ortonville, Big Stone County.
We are informed that Mr.. Dassel will open
a bank at Ortonville as soon as the neces-
sary arrangements for building etc, can
be completed. EnHN
Our baseball club have accepted the
challenge sent them by the Glenwood club
to play game at that place on the 4th.
The band boys 60 to Herman to assist the
citizens of that village in properly celebra-
ting the great anniversary of American In
dependence. 1t looks to man on fence,
as if patriotism was played out in this vii
hge.
We received sample of wheat grown
on Hon. j. G. McCarthys farm, the straw
is over four feet in length, with we'll
filled heads from three to four inches long.
This wheat was taken out of field seeded
ed quite late in the season, and we are in
formed the whole piece, some one hundred
and thirty-five acres, is well headed. Oats
are also heading nicely.
The Morris band have been offered $25
and expenses to go to Herman on the 4th.
AS there does not appear to be sufficient
energy or enthusiasm amongst our people
to induce them to make effort to properly
celebrate our one great national holiday, it
is probable that the band will accept the
offer, although it is probable were any in
ducements offered they would prefer to re-
main at home.
The ladies of the Methodist Congrega-
ton viii hold social at Goods Hall to-
morrow evening. A pleasant evening is
anticipated; there are to be strawberries,
ice cream, cake, lemonade, and other pal
atabe and seasonable edibles for those
who desire to refresh themselves. The la
dies extend cordial invitation to the pub
lie, and we doubt not but that the occasion
will be o very enjoyable one.
John Alison who recently figured in
print as one of the principals in an attempt
ed shooting affair in Scandal, was indicted
by the grand jury, tried, found guilty and
sentenced to pay fine of 800, or be inn
prisoned in the County Jail for three
months John, having overdrawn his bank
account, will spend ninety days as Sheriff
Landbergs guest. A flaw in the jurors
verdict saved John trip to states prison.
In view of the removal of Mr.. Farley as
General Manager of this road, it is now
probable that unless the matter is brought
to the notice of the new officers that the
parcel of land known as the park will not be
decided to the village. In letter previous
ly published in these columns, Mr.. Farley
stated that it was his intention to present
the park to the village, and as we should
own and control that piece of valuable
property it would, perhaps, be advisable to
ascertain what the new officers will be will
ling to do.
Some of the young folks, yes, and not a
flew of the older ones, are quite indignant
that no interest has been manifested in pre-
pairing and arranging for q celebration on
the 4th. We do not blame them either,
and honestly think that little effort on the
part of our business men would have had
good results, and they would have been
amply repaid for any trouble or expense
The older and more influential business
men should have taken the matter in hand
and they would have met with substantial
support and encouragement.
A. S. Brisbine g. Co. is the name of 8
new firm now about to commence business
J at this point. Mr.. Brisbine is we'll know
in this vicinity, and being deservedly pop
ular, his friends and acquaintances will b.
, pleased to hear of his starting business
The new firm have received large, full
and complete stock of staple and fancy
groceries, and invite the public 10 EXAMINE
, their wares. 1t is their intention to Away
keep choice and carefully selected assert
nent of the best grades of goods in thei
line, and will endeavor to merit share o
public patronage.
! In the case of Mr.. German VS. the Villag
!, of Morris for injuries sustained by de
feet in the Fifth street crossing, verdie
> was rendered giving German damages ii
the amount of $175. -Four hundred wa
the amount claimed. This lesson will no
probably be thrown away, and had the oil
!. council seen fit to act upon the repeate'
cautions of the Tribune, the village woul
. not have had to foot this bill. We think
that considering the fact that Mr.. Gormal
is liable to always suffer more or less in
s convenience from his injury, that the vi
lage got off very cheap.
Fergus Falls citizens are being urged b.
! their local paper, the Advocate, to establis
monthly fairs. In fact every town of an
. size has now regular day set apart in eac
! month for that purpose. Our citizens mus
i endca vor to offer inducements.and use evt
s ry means to encourage farmers to attend
/ 1t will benefit not only the farmers but th
o merchants also, and we must not lose sigh
t Of this fact Next Saturday week or Jul
9th is fair day and we hope to see all TAX
! an interest and make little effort to b
: present. Tell your neighbors and friend
!, and bring them with you.
= The concert given by the Cakes Bro
a Concert Company last Saturday evenin

The hall was crowded to its utmost capa'
