A badly demoralized box car loaded
with ties took stand on the side track the
other day. One end of it looked as though
it had been testing bumpers" and had go,
the worst of it by all odds.

Quito number of young people from
Morris and Hancock encamped on Lake

Tuesday. The dampness of Sunday and
Monday did not tend to increase the pleas
ure of the party.
Mrs Nj. A. Townsend, Miss Townsend
and Miss Daisy Townsend, of New Or.
leans, mother and sisters of Mrs. L. G.
Stanton, are in town. They arrived in the
special Car which brought Gen. Haupt and
party on Saturday, and will remain during
the warm weather.
One evening last week we called on a
little friend of ours and found that she had
gone into the menagerie business. You
ought to have seen that gust of frogs,
which she had caught with a scrap net,
leaping about trying to scale the wall in
which they were inclosed.

Our street commissioner has been doing
excellent work upon the streets That
awful, awful mud hole near Watson g.
Leonard's livery stable has been fixed up

his attention.

fifth birthday, and all enjoyed themselves

Mr.. G. Z. Richardson will please accept
the thanks OF the TRIBUNE for copy of
the Legend of Big Island, Minnetonka. "
The legend is a laughable description of
the adventures Of party of tourists at
Lake N1innetonka, is appropriately illus
trated by Prof. T. J. Richardson, and is
decidedly interesting.
Why are people so careless about leav-
ing teams without being hitched on the
street though it be for 'just momcnt?"
On last Saturday at the time of the run
away there were three or four teams un-
hitched and had it not been for The prompt
action of the marshal in stopping the run
away there would have been circus, sure.
Gen. Herman Haupt, Mrs. 'Haupt, Miss
NJ. G. Haupt, Mr.. Herman Haupt, Jr,
Prof, Louis Haupt. Mr.. Chapman and Mr.
Frank Esherwick, were in town Saturday
Gen. Haupt is president of the Little Falls
4 Dakota and during his visit to Morris
considerable business of Importance was
| transacted.
The amount Of freight received at this
| village shows something of the amount of
business which is being done here. Dur
ing the week ending July 81, 1888, 24C
pounds of freight was received at the St.
P, NJ. & M. depot, for which 81 400 &c
was collected. We doubt if there is an
other point on the line which can make as
good a showing.
MIR. T. F. Shipherd, of Cleveland, Ohio,
who has leased the Central house for one
year, took possession Monday morning.
A new walk has been laid in front of the
hotel and other improvements have been
made. Mr.. Shipherd is practical hotel
man and will no doubt keep for the trav.
cling public a first class hotel.

teeth may be filled or extracted without
pain and the patient remain conscious all
the time.
Mr.. W. Studdard has the contract for
making the grade in the "cut off" below
town. The sheds for the accommodation
of the crew are completed and work has
been commenced. P. N. Kirk, of St.
Paul, has taken sub contract for part
of the work and has also begun operations.
Both of these men are practical railroad

possible.
Mr.. G. W. Rohne is again fitting up his
lumber yard. Considerable lumber has
already been received and much more is
to be added to the stock soon. Mr.. Anton
Anderson will have charge of the yard.
So instead of going out of the lumber
business Mr.. Rohne will continue at the
old stand and will no doubt receive the
same liberal patronage he has enjoyed in
the past.
