Morris tribune., 1882-10-26

The first of the week your reporter took
a ride in the country, and calling at a
friends house, found the lady and her son
hard at work bailing the water out of the
cistern. Upon inquiring into the reason
of such desperate act, we were informed
that one of the pigs had gone into the
porch 10 feast upon some cabbage, and
while in The act of stealing, the floor gave
away and he was precipitated head long in
to the water, some ten feet below. As the
''man of the house" was absent, the water
was bailed Till the "Chap" could touch
bottom, when a Ladder was put down and
he was hauled out by one leg "tother end
too" His being of Light weight only,
| saved him.
The Buchanan Comedy company, which
has been playing in Berkin's Music Hall
during the past week has been giving our
theatre-going citizens decided treat.
This is one of the best companies ofthe
many that have visited our city Walter
Lawrence and Helen Stuart in the leading
roles made decided hit" Lawrence re-
garded as u member Of u western troupe is
an actor of more than ordinary talent. He
is blessed with fine physique and very
good voice. Miss Stuart is bright little
act ess and we regret that we have not a
larger and better hall for the display of
such talent as hers The support is uu-
commonly good, and taken as y whole the
company has acquitted itself well. The
audiences Were the most intelligent and
fashionable ever gathered in Morris.-Sun.
Service was conducted in the NJ. E.
Church last Sabbath, by Rev S. P. Murch,
the one sent by Presiding Elder Rev. J. F.
Chaffee, to be its pastor during the coming
year. Rev. Murch was for twenty years
an active worker in the Detroit conference
in Michigan, and for three years mem
Der of the Wisconsin conference, and
comes, therefore, to Morris with large
store of experience in ministerial work.
He was greeted last Sabbath by good
audiences, and favorable circumstances
surrounded the beginning of his labors.
w. II. Campbell, our next senator, was
in town last week, leaving for home on
last Monday morning. He feels gratified
with the assurances of support from all
parts of the district and has no fears of
the Republican voters deserving him for
the bolter and political trickster who is
opposing him.
NORRIS, Oct. 24-The new side track
on the south side of the railroad has been
completed and in running order for sever
al days. We would ask through the
Tribune why it is that the "boss" or the
officials do not see that the crossing
on Fifth street is put in passable con-
dition so that heavy loads can be hauled
over it. During the first of this week
farmers and others drawing heavy loads
were put to great Inconvenience by being
obliged to goodwin to Fourth street two
blocks to get te' to town and the elevators
during the tear up" on Sixth when
they were moving one Of the middle
tracks. Seventh street crossing is impas-
sible for heavy loads, all on account of
"boss' not filing in properly between the
new and oldtracks. When will the of
ficials of the Manitoba realize that the citi.
zens of Norris and surrounding country
have some rights which they should be
made to respect. By the time the overbear-
ing crowd of officials of this road put in
another side track, the village of Morris
will of necessity be split in two and two
towns made ef,it, as it will be utterly i'm
possible from past experience to get across
the rai!road ON any of the streets. To
make the blockade more effectual we
would suggest to the company the pro-
priety eff building tight" barbed wire
fence On both sides of the track through
town, perhaps if that was done our "city
dads" would wake up to the neces sites of
the occasion and compel the crossings to
be kept clear. CITIZEN.
