Morris tribune. [volume] (Morris, Minn.) 1880-2000, 1881-08-18

Inc DrlSot ana promising future now
opening before us is attracting attention in
all quarters of this and adjoining states,
and the village of Morris is looked upon as
one of the mo promising towns of western
Minnesota. Like all the interior towns of
the new northwest, Morris is the creation
of a railroad. A few years ago this was a
wild tract of prairie, there was not white
settler in this region. the noble(?) red man
whom we all have read about but never
seen-reigncd supreme, and but for the ad-
vent of line of railroad might now be en-
joying u buffalo hunt OH the very ground
where the coming railway centre of west
ern Minnesota now stands. The st. Paul
s. Pacific railroad created this village, but
the natural advantages possessed by the
country tributary. combined with the en-
ergy, vim and enterprise OF our business
men, carved out Il bright future for Morris
and to day on the eve, as it were, of new,
bright and glorious era in this history of
our ''bonnie home" we have the satisfac-
ton of having, by patient, diligent and
combined effort, outrivalled and fairly out
stripped in point of business importance,
any and all towns on this line, west of
Minneapolis. With this fiattering start
and the advantages we will soon enjoy by
having secured competing lines of railroad,
with the many benefits which must neces-
sarily follow, we are On vantage ground
which will render it an easy task to push
our village forward into the front ranks
and among the leading cities of the state.
This may seem to some as visionary, but
with the early completion of the Little
Falls & Dakota railroad, work on which is
being pushed rapidly forward, we will
have direct communication with the great
lake system via. the Northern Pacific and
Duluth. With the extension of this road
we will have connection with the Chicago
and Milwaukee lines to the south, and with
the assurances of a third line, the immedi-
ate construction Of which is a fixed fact,
we will have another and no less direct
route to Duluth and the lakes Construc-
ton on the last mentioned, line will be be-
gun by the st. P, NJ & M. railroad next
week, and we learn from good authority
that it will not stop at St. Cloud but push
on east toa connection with the ST. Paul
and Duluth railroad. With the present
prospects therefore, we are warranted in
the assertion that Morris will, in very
few years, take prominent place among
the prosperous and important cities of the
| new northwest.

1T is part of the business of
the commercial traveller to know
the best towns on the road. Not
only i'm the line of his traffic is this
indispensable, but also as condi-
ton of health. His life, al best, is a
fit between boarding houses, and
can but be unsatisfactory, but there
are hotels that approximate home
more nearly than others, and these
the traveller rem embers, and desires
"to make" when he can, and more
especially for the day of rest. We
could not help overhearing, the
other day, one commercial traveller
tell another that there was no better
place TO stop at than Columbus.

"A suit for assault and battery
upon complaint of one Chas. Will
liams, against chief of police Nc
Mahon, occupied Friday and Satur-
day at the City Hall before Justice
Millett. The prosecution was con-
Quoted by M. Whitmoyer and the
defense by G. G. Bowman. AT the
time of the alleged assault officer
Mcmahon was acting in his official
capacity in attempting to arrest
Williams for whom he had a war
rant. Williams paid no attention to
the warrant and refused to go with
the officer, and in consequence was
tOlerably roughly handled in forcing
him from the wagon, which he
seemed determined not TO leave, but
not sufficiently so to prevent him
from attempting to pull his coat and
60 for the officer after he was liter
ally dragged to the ground. Nc
Mahon was found guilty OF an un-
lawful assault and fined $25 and the
costs of the suit. He was cleared of
the same charge, brought for the
purpose of impeachment before the
City Council Thursday evening last.

last issue goOdly number attended
at Mrs. Finlay's hall (not Henry's
hall as our notice read), to hear dis
courses rendered by the Rev. A. s.
Wright, assisted by the Rev. DIR.
Heinrich. 1t is decided that these
gatherings shall take place at Platte
Center every two weeks dating from
the inaugural Sunday on the 18th of
November. The necessity of some
place of worship being provided for
Platte Center is becoming more
apparent every day and DIR. William
Edwards and Mr.. VIM. Bloedorn are
endeavoring to interest individuals
to subscribe towards the building
and providing a hall for religious
purposes. Those that wish to do
nate towards the good cause will
please send their. subscriptions TO
either Messrs. Edwards or Bloedorn,

j. A. Krause and Henry Lubker

gains than ever were offered i'm Co.
lumbus. Mr.. Lubker. who for a
number of years was with Messrs.
Schultz & Pohl, is thoroughly ac-
quainted with the machine business,
knows what kind of goods our farm
ers want to buy. These men with
their large experience in the bust
ness, will doubtless make a strong
firm, aud anyone who is in need Of
any thing in their line will find
it to their advantage to give them
a call. 29-1

Platte County.

The election passed off very quiet
ly. Our tabular statement gives the
result i'm convenient form, for study
and for future reference.
The Democratic state ticket is
ahead by majorities ranging from
lis TO 126.
As to the county tickets,-On two
offices, namely Clerk and County
Judge, there were no nominations
made by the Republicans against
Jno. Stsuffer and Judge Higgins,
and their votes are of course the
highest in the list.
The total vote OH treasurer is 1920,
being the highest total on any one
office; this is easily accounted for,
because the contest on this Office
was more active than on any other.
1t is strange, however, that the total
for surveyor Con which there seemed
to be little or no contest should be
but two less than on treasurer; that
on commissioner was Is below; on
coroner, ii 4; on sheriff, 20; on SUPER
intendent, 35.
Moncrief, r., and Kavanaugh, d.,
had the same total vote.
Sherman precinct will attract at
tention as giving majorities for
Maxwell, the republican regents,
North, Moncrief, Henry, Cramer, and
Heintz-the extremes being repub-
lican majority of GO for one candi-
date, and a democratic majority of
49 for another. Monroe, Walker,
Creston, Loupe, Looking Glass and
Woodville are among the precincts
decidedly republican.
The Jail proposition is buried deep
enough, though it would have been
still more gratifying had there been
no votes in it's favor.
One man supposed Gas several
newspapers have wrongly published)
that the woman suffrage amendment
was before the people for a vote
this election.

WRITTEN ON THE DEATH OF THE LITTLE
SON OF Mr.. AND MRS. j. c. PkTERSEN.
There is sorrow in your home,
For you miss the joyful tone
Ofyour bright and happy darling,
And your hearts are sad and lone.
Often fall your bitter tear drops,
Look through their weary rain;
See. Hopes star shine thrOug them,
Twill guide you till you meet again.
Eddie has heavenly home,
Safe upon the Savior's breast;
Jesus loving arms about him,
Sweetly there will Eddie rest.
Then blend with grief, rejoicing,
God took what He had given;
Love divine will keep thy darling
Safe from sin and pain in Heaven.
