Morris tribune., 1881-10-13

from Morris to St. Cloud Is both practica
and feasible, being free from heavy grades
and almost on direct line due east ant
west.
LEFT-He went out in the country las
week to see II lady friend, and of course
drive was proposed, the afternoon being
finc and pleasant. The young lady &C
cepted the offer, and her escort. being
probably tlustered by anticipating the dc
lightful pleasures he was about to enjoy
in the society of his fair friend, forgo
things earthly, and left the reins lying ou
of reach As he was about to assist the
young lady into the buggy, the horse
started, and it may be well to add that the
proposed drive was temporarily postponed
About two hours after this u weary pcdis-
trian might have been seen vending hi,
way to town, footsorc, exhausted and al
cry, after an eight mile walk. The horses
and Il portion of the buggy were found al
the livery stable, and the young man was
heard to register promise, between puffs
to tho effect that "the next time he went
for drive he would walk" This is the
second time the same parties have been
served such a contemplate trick by horse
| flesh.
TRoTTING MAT1NEE.-OnS Saturday after
noon, there will be trotting race with
three or four entries, for a subscription
purse of $125.00. Leonard & Watson, G.
w.. Rohne, J. P II. Morris, and party
from Hancock will enter their fast stock,
and it will probably be the most exciting
and interesting trotting match ever seen in
Morris. We are assured that this will be a
holly contested race, rs the horses are well
matched for speed and their owners arc
interested, not so much in the prizes rs in
the question of the relative speed of their
trotters; this, together with the fact that
DR.. Sutherland, E. J. Jones and third
party of their choice, are TO compose the
judges, will ensure honest handling. This
being the case, the horses will spin around
the track at their llveliest pace and good
time will be made, many now wagering
that the winner will be crowded under the
wire well down in the forties. In order to
entertain the large number of spectators
who will undoubtedly be in attendance,
those interested will endeavor to secure
the services of the Morris cornet band.
Pools will be sold Friday evening, at the
Metropolitan saloon. Thus far "'Tom''
and "White Stockings" are the favorites,
and the Hancock horse being stranger,
the field will have dummy for Odds"
Judging from the complaints of house
keepers regarding the scarcity of a good,
clean and sweet article of butter, we would
suggest that it might be advisable for those
who cannot get their butter clean to wash
it in some of these patent 'superhuous hair
removcrs" The reason We make this sug
gestion is that the ''superduous hair remov-
err" is dead shot every time, it would de.
stroy the luxuriant growth of bipedal and
quadrupedal hair which alas too frequently
adorns without embellishng the fruit of
the dairy. We see no reason why it would
not work like a charm on the frizzles,
bangs and braids of June packed roll,
and render the said roll bald headed and
palatable in u jiffey, for that it is effective,
an acquaintance of ours who tried one ap.
plication, will cheerfully testify. He can
swear that il is temporary cure, and as
soon as the skin On the back of his neck,
where the application was made, is healed,
he will let us know whether or not it effects
a permanent cure. This brilliant idea is
worthy of trial, it might benefit the but,
ter, at least it could not hurt it in any pos
sible way. We offer this valuable receipt
feeling that perhaps we may possibly be
the means of saving many house keepers
the necessity of losing much valuable time
each day in combing the butter before it is
presentable at the table.
CAUTION. Owing to the fact that there
are some rough characters congregated in
this village and vicinity it would be we'll
in view of the lamenttd affair at Herman,
for people to be on their guard. Among
the many honest working men engaged on
the construction Of the new railroads, there
is sprnkling of the tramp element, a
class which at the present time, when en-
ployment is abundant and wages high, is
composed Of worthless, lawless and dsso.
lutte scamps, who care for nothing but to
live i'll idleness, and who expend every
penny they can beg, borrow, or steal, in
drinking and carousing. These worthless
fellows are the very scum of creation, ut.
terIy devoid of any thing bordering on
principle, and who are a pest to a commu
nifty and disgrace to civilization, 1t may
be safely presumed that loafers and idlers
in this place, and at this time, are of this
breed, and any such should Immediately
be taken under 81 rveillance by the police
and if found to tarry in these parts they
should be arrested for vagrancy and either
driven to work CT out of town. Several
suspicious characters who have no OSten.
sible means of support have recently put in
an appearance hereabeuts; they don't work
and won't work, and as such is the case,
they had ought to be made to work. La
Dor is tough dose to these fellows, and
sooner than run any risks of job Oh the
streets, they would sc. out in quick order.

Foul PLAY.-At Herman, on Saturday
evening. young man named John Ora.

for the purpose of robbery, as when the
