Of the Burr Robbins & Colvin circus
and menagerie, which will visit Morris on
Saturday of next week, September 10, the
Louisville Commercial says: The street
parade which preceded the exhibitions
amused and interested the vast throngs
which it passed and met everywhere on its
long course of streets. But beneath the.
canvas this great combination capped the
climax and actually enchanted thousands
who witnessed the performances. The
acrobats, the performers on the flying tra-s
peze, the clowns, the riders and the trained
horses, bulls and dogs-in fact, everything
that performed, whether man or beast
drew from the crowd the highest applause.
The bareback riding by Charles w. Fish
was seldom equaled and never surpassed.
The performing dogs were wonderful,
The giant horse, measuring twenty-one
hands high and weighing 1850 pounds,
is also wonder well worth seeing. Visit.
ors to this show will have an opportunity
of seeing one of the rarest specimens of
natural history-the great blood sweating
behemoth spoken Of in holy writ, and a
beautiful specimen Of the giraffe, which is
very rare in this climate, besides the gnu,
the ibex, the kangaroo and host of lions,
tigers, bears and rare beasts. The show
people are attentive, preserve order, and
see that visitors have every attention. and
visit there by day or by night would well
repay anyone. When you go don't for
get to take your little ones. There are no
takers, gamblers, peddlers, pickpockets or
disorderly persons allowed with this show,
and guests can rely upon having their per
sons and property protected. i

Notes Of Interest.

Work has begun in earnest by the Nor
thcrn Pacific forces on the Little Falls q
Dakota, and the Manitoba company on the
st. Cloud & Lake Traverse, and ere many
months have elapsed Morris will be the
hub from which will radiate liues of rail.
road to Breckenridge and beyond ON the
northwest, to Duluth and the lakes on the
east, to St. Cloud aud probably Duluth OF
Superior City by another and nearly para
lell line, to Browns Valley and the jim
river on the west, to Ortonvillc and Chi
cago to the south, and to st. Paul and
Minneapolis on the southeast. We are
thus the centre of an extensive system of
railway lines, six spokes radiate from this
hub and are concentred here, and hence
this must bo an important transfer point,
and it seems impossible that there can be
other than grand future in store for Nor.
ris, future so great that we can as yet
form no adequate conception of the vast
possibilities.
Grading crews with huge stocks of con-
struction outfit, material and supplies, are
daily arriving and going to the front, there
seems to be no end to the number of men
and teams, and it looks as if the race be-
tween tho rival giant corporations was to
be an exciting one. Both companies are
grading their river approaches and crews
are at work along both lines at short dis
tances apart. The lines which are para
lell and but two or three miles apart, follow
in this position to Lake Whipple, twenty
miles east. here they diverge, the L. F. &
D. keeping little north of cast and the
St. c. s. L. T. turning to the southeast.
Messrs. Langdon & Co., contractors. have
an agent here and have opened an office
and supply depot, they will however han
die large portion of their supplies
through Messrs. Good & Brisbine. We
learn that the contractors expect to put on
o force sufficient to grade and complete
thirty miles of road so that trains will be
running inside Of ninety days. The Little
Falls s. Dakota will have the entire road
bed ready for the track layers by spring,
and will have trains running to Morris by
June, 1882. This will be good news to
our people, for the positive assurance of
the construction of these lines by rival
companies, means sharp competitor and
low rates. '

BOARD OF TRADE.-Ata directors meet
ing of tho board of trade, held last Mon.
day evening, the following matters Of q
general importance were transacted: A
committee Of three, consisting of Messrs.
J. D. Good, H. B. Wolff and s., Larson,
were appointed to confer with the business
men of the village and take such action as
might be deemed necessary toward mairs
tanning in this market the highest prices
for grain during the coming season. In
view of the fact that at competing points,
the prices OF wheat sometimes exceeded
those paid here, and that as this worked
against our interests, it was thought advia-
able that some means be devised for the
protection Of our home trade, by ensuring
to producers the full market value for their
grain. The committee have OH important
duty to perform, but we do not hesitate to
say that with hearty co operation on the
part of our business men, they Gun succeed
in accomplishing the desirable ebjectin
view. No more important question has
ever come before our people, and the
adoption of not only protective but an
aggressive policy is necessary now that keen
competition is invading our territory.
Another important measure, the inaugu
ration of II second series of Literary and
Musical Entertainments, was also brought
up at this meeting, and it was decided to
again undertake similar enterprise with
that of last season. 1t is intended to give
a series of concerts and entertainments to
commence in October and continue semi
monthly through the season. In all prob.
ability they will be conducted Oh about the
same plan as last year, and knowing the
great popularity of the first series, we have
no hesitation in declaring that with the
same generous assistance, a like liberal and
successful outcome will be assured The
following COMMITTEE was appointed to take
charge of the entertainments, viz: w. ].

Mr.. and Mrs. Scott have not lived happily
together, and that there has been more or
less trouble, accustomed, SO it is asserted,
by jealousy caused by the supposed
transfer of his wife's affections from him
to third party. How much truth there is
in these reports we do not know, nor do
we care, but as the case has been publicly
ventilated in the justice court, and as tho
wife has commenced proceedings for di.
vorce, the affair which ia now town talk
will be likely to be further investigated at
the November term of district court. The
qnarrel Friday, as stated, resulted in
SCOTS being arrested and taken before
Justice Hutchins. where he was fined three
dollars and costs for his unmanly conduct
On Saturday Mrs. Scott, through her attor.
nsy, commenced proceedings for divorce.
In her complaint Mrs. Scott makes many
serious complaints against her husband.
She asserts that for the past three years he
has frequently abused her in shameful
manner. threatening her life, striking,
choking and otherwise i'll treating her. un-
til she Is in dread lest he do her serious in
jury. Numerous instances are cited, which
If true, tend to prove that matters have
been, to say the least, very unpleasant in
this household, and indeed SCOTS actions
after his arrest 60 to show that he needs
looking after, rs he called his wife the
vilest names and threatened to shoot her
at the first opportunity. She asks for no
alimony, but simply demands q separation
which will doubtless be granted, as it ia
not probable that an answer will be filed.
Mrs. Scott, during her residence here, has
conducted herself properly for aught we
know to the contrary, she has managed the
boarding house herself and has worked
hard to make living. OF her husband
we know but little, but his raising bis hand
to woman is an objectionable offence
which has turned public sympathy entirely

When jackson was president, Jimmy
ONeill, the Irish doOrkeepcr OF the White
House, was a marked character. He had
his foibles, which often offended the fas
tidiousness of the generals nephew and
secretary, Major Donelson, who caused his
dismissal on an average Of about once Il
week. But on appeal to the higher court,
the verdict was always reversed by the
good nature of the old general. Once,
however, Jimmy was guilty of some fla
grant offence, and being summoned before
the president himself, was thus addressed

In the federal Senate Yesterday Mr.
Cameron said that few days ago the
senator from Kentucky (Mr. Bcck) had
taunted him with the fact that the Logis-
lature Of Pennsylvania had refused to sus
tain the course which its senators had fol-
lowed in this chamber. The senator had
said to him (Cameron) that he could
probably make the Legislature endorse his
action. There was no man living who
had the power to make the Legis-
lature of Pennsylvania do anything
against its free will. He would not
arrogate to himself the power to
make it do anything which it did not
believe to be right and proper
The man who undertook to do that would
find himself in the position Of the shearer
who came back shorn. He was personally
acquainted with nearly all the members Of
the L legislature, and a better, nobler and
more patriotic body Of men did not exist.
That organization had passed Il resolution
endorsing the action Of the Republican
senators on this floor, and he had nodoubt
that all patriotic legislatures would follow
its example.
Mr. Beck agreed that the Pennsylvania
Legislature would only do what it thought
right, but suggested that it always hap
pened to think right that which Senator
Cameron thought right. That senator had
shown that he had the power to do by tele-
gram what he (Beck) had thought it

| How q Cohstable's Posse Caused AN limo
cent German Terrible Suffering.
A dispatch from .Muscatine, Ia., gives
particulars of the terrible experience of a
fugitive from a constable's posse in Gosher
! township a week ago Saturday night.
About midnight on that night Constable
Stafford and five others went to the house
| of Daniel Foss, a newly-arrived German,
to search for stolen goods which Foss was
charged with having received. FOss,
who does not understand word ol
English. became terrified on the approach
of the posse, armed with guns,
and ran out in the snow barefooted, and
clad .Only in pants and drawers. He
started in the snow across the prairie, and
the posse followed firing three shots at the
fugitive. He was chased mile or more
until he reached Cedar river. After run
ming along the bank Of the river a short
distance he plunged in and swan across.
His pursuers thinking he had been swept
under the ice, abandoned the chase and
went home.
On Monday morning Foss was found
clinsing to wire fence UP to his knees
in ice and water. He was rescued by a
Mr.. Halleck, who summoned medical aid,
when it was found that both the sufferers
feet and hands were frozen, and that he
was terribly manglcd and bruised by the
sharp briars and ice through he ran and
swan. Foss states that when he swan
the Cedar river he reached small tree
surrounded by water which concealed him
and to this he clung all through the night,
Sunday, and Sunday night. A warrant
has been sworn out against the officers for
assault with intent to kill. The citizens
OF the vicinity are generally incensed and
determined to punish the officers for their
inhuman treatment of FOss.
