Morris tribune. [volume] (Morris, Minn.) 1880-2000, 1880-07-22

Col. Crooks was in town last Saturday
and from what he has seen of the crops in
this and other counties east Of us, he Is of
the opinion there will be more than an
average yield.
billiard s. Demott's circus attaches and
some of the citizens of Little Falls, had
several rows ON the day they visited that
town, and there was much disorder. There
is difference in the management Of towns,
for although there was over 4, 900 people in
this village at the time the circus was here,
yet but one arrest was made.
Politics. this standard article the
market is fairly glutted, and the supply is
far in excess of the demand, although
every thing is at high pressure, and there
is Il niger on the salty valve, and consid-
ering that but one of the very many are
saved when the splosion busts, yet there is
no perceptible falling off in the ranks of
the hosts of aspirants anxious to serve the
dear people. Everyone, and all the rest,
is hugging the hallucination that he is the
individual under whose patches the official
chair shall rest, and SO all are sanguine,
blissfully forgetful that they are, fig.
uratively speaking, on political Mime
tonka excursion boat.
A CURIOSITY. while absent we came
across genius, and we travelled through
four States and back to our own before we
discovered him. The party in question is
bus driver in Jordon, MINI. Qhe ought to
been a "bust" driver who can forget any
thing quicker than any man living, indeed,
to be such an expert h emust have made q
study of forgetfullness, as he forgets fast
er than rapid talker can tell him. First
he forgot to call for our party, although
spoken 10 personally, and cautioned that it
was important to be promptly on hand,
and it was only because he forgot to forget
the second pre- emptory order that we
reached the last train Wen bet two cents
that chap will send hearse to wedding
one of these days.
IMPROVEMENTS ETC.-A new and tasty
awning has been erected in front of Lar
son s. Wilson's buildings. The shade is
supported by brackets, the whole being
neatly ornamented with scroll work.
Commissioner Bake is having II new
building, to be used as a meat market,
erected on Fifth St.. Mr.. Soren Foss will
have charge of the establishment as soon
as it is completed.
Chas. Wilson's new dwelling on the hill
south Of town is enclosed, and will be one
of the finest residences in the village. Tho
location is q very desirable one, command
ing an unObstructed view of the country
for many miles in all directions.
Mrs. Ii. Whiteley's millinery establish
ment is being completely remodeled. The
old front is being replaced by new show
windows, which will add greatly to the ap
pearance and convenience of the premises
JERKED.-Several drunk and disorderly
characters were captured by the police las
Monday and lodged in Jail, much to thei
chagrin and to the disgust of their friends
some of whom seemed disposed to inter
fere with the officers. In the police cour
Tuesday morning, five prisoners, who CAV
their names as Doyle, Brink, Olson, Mitch
ell and McKenna were .arraigned, foun'
!, guilty and fined in sums ranging from tw
to ten dollars each. There were one o
two parties, who should have known bel
ter, who attempted to interfere, and afte
the arrests were made, abused the citizen
who assisted the officers. 1t would hav
been but right had these persons been al
rested, and we hope the next time it occur
the officers will see to it that these sym
pathiscrs, are jerked up and fined. Gu
marshals deserve credit for their pluck
: and we can assure them the public appre
ciate their vigilance and will sustain ther
: in all efforts to maintain the peace
