Morris tribune., 1880-06-03

SMAsu.-A freight train west Tuesday,
ditched a couple Of cars ncat Moose Lake,
on this.sidc of Herman. The cause Of the
accident was neglect to pack hot box, the
the Journal burnt dry, cut through and let
the wheels and truck go under the train.
The conductor handed in his resignation.
PUT UP OR SHUr UP.- We are not usu-
ally rash or rockies, but we'll risk going
bare headed all summer and bet our last
years straw hat, against any sum from $50
up, that no matter how low man gets in
the world, there are two things he can al
ways get-good advice and poor whiskey-
with the odds in favor of the poor whiskey.
REPAIR lit would be as we'll for the
authorities TO have the crossing relaid re.
laid between the Metropolitan and the
depot. There is quite q sudden drop at the
end of the new grade, and someone might
get tumble on dark night, and we be
called upon for another 81 900 bill of dam
ages.
sportsmcn are faithfully aud persistently
practicing glass.ball shooting, and are be-
ginning to splinter and smash the little
globes at a rate which shows that practice
makes perfect. We will not publish any
of the scores at present as it might put
both us and some of our Bogarduses out
of sorts.
BAKERY.-We have now Bakery in
this village, and as the proprietor Mr..
Cole has had many years experience in
this kind of business, there is every reason
to expect that this enterprise will merit the
patronage it will receive. Mr.. Cole has
equipped his bakery with mammoth
oven, and will always have capacity suffi-
cient to meet the demands of his custom
ers.
New BRIDGE.-Messrs. Stone s. Co.
have, since completing repairs on their
gates. and as the old road has been chang
ed, parties from that vicinity can now t1nd
a safe and short crossing to the mill or to
town. This bridge will be great conven.
fence to the travelling public, and especially
to the farmers who have business at the
mill.
ELEMENT-ARY.-Last Monday evening
lightning entered the telegraph Office and
played havoc with the wires and instru
ments. The first intimation the operator
had was binding flash followed by o
deafening report, and instantly the wires
began to burn, and the rubber coverings to
melt, and in few seconds the table and
papers were on fire, but the blaze was
quickly squelched.
REPAIRS NEEDED We would call the
attention of the officers of the town OF
Morris, to the dangerous condition of the
bridge between the Deakin and Mcpherson
farms, on the road to the upper, or john
sons mill. Some of the planks are broken,
others are loose, and teams have difficulty
in crossing. The bridge is on tie line OF
one of our main travelled thoroughfares
and its impossible condition is great an
noyance to the travelling public.
IMMIGRATIoN.-Theo oldest inhabitant is
for once compelled to admit that ''he never
in the whole born course of his existence
seen. or her'n tell on, such an all fired heap
of people, going west" and when an old
settler makes such an acknowledgement,
you can but admit that there is an UMPIRE
ccdented rush, for the average pioneer will
if possible, not allow any modern boom to
cast q shadow over ancient doings One
continuous stream of immigration is pour
ing its torrents into the famous Golden
northwest.
ENTERTAINMENTS Monday and
Tuesday evenings, "Blaisdell's Merry Max
ers and Swiss Bell Ringers" appeared a
Goods Hall, playing to fair audiences
The company are good musicians, and sew
eral of the instrumental selections as rem
dered were excellent, especially so the harl
and violin solos. We must say, however
that it is to be regretted that managers flint
it necessary 10 introduce an inferior ant
rather tlimsy order of comedy, and man,
remain away because of this fact, wh'
would be pleased to patronize the enter
tainments were there no such innovation
on the programme. Good bell ringing ant
higher class of vocal and instrumental
music, merits and always meets with pat
ronage. However, this company presen
a programme which contains nothing tina
would offend the most fastidious.
MUsICAL.-It is a real pleasure, after lis
tening to the distracting, discordant an,
mournfully distressing wailings of a con
sumptive wheeling ACCORDION, to listen t
a good sized midnight cat concert, eve
when the musical feIines are under a fel
lows wine dow. The trouble with both til
pumper of the ACCORDION and the has
Thomas Cat, is not so much that they Gu
| neither play nor sing, but that they thin
they can. The fiend who invented the az
cordeon and the musician who compose'
the circulating cat MARBLES, will both hav
, frightful score to wipe out when they ar
called upon to settle up in the next world
We would be content if there was only
possibility of retributive justice being admin
istered to them in this world, as those VIII
have suffered from their nocturnal scrt
nades, alone can know the depths of mis-
cry to which they have subjected sufferin
humanity.
SoIREE.-On to- morrow, Friday, ever
ing the Ladies of the Episcopal Societ
will hold soiree at Goods Hall, an
should the weather prove propitious, W
: anticipate one of the largest and most Ell
joyable gatherings of the season. Morr
> has always been noted for the generosit
and liberalily of her citizens, and as til
proceeds of tomorrow evenings entertain
ment are to be devoted to worthy obiec

people of all denominations will be presen
