| Morris 'got left" as far as that military
company is concerned Her young mel
did not come to the front in a way calcu-
lated to inspire confidence in the success
of the enterprise, and it fell through. The
opportunity lost to Morris, however, has
been improved by Fergus Falls, as the
last company that can be formed under
existing laws and appropriations in this
state, was organized at that place last
week
Our office devil" went cunning one
day last week. When he returned, with
out ducks of course, it was quite evident
that he had ventured into the water a little
farther than the heighth of his rubber boots
would warrant, and that the gun showed
more energy in pressing backward than in
throwing shot forward. He does not now
seem to care much for recreation, and takes
new and desperate interest in his multi
tudinous duties.
Mr.. George Grow, brother in-law OF
MIR. H. Hutchins, has bought the store re.

first class hotel should be, and Is carrying
out that idea to perfection in fitting up the
Metropolitan. The holb :,f be ready for
the reception of guests in 'ew days.
Upon an evening u ,~n~ since while
the iovial and active ,..-..icY Of The Stevens
County Bank was m".>iag rapid strides
toward home, he slipped in crossing the
track of St. P. NJ. & NJ. company and
would have fallen, had it not been for the
leaving of a fiat Car upon the side track in
just the right position to catch him in his
fall. 1t so happened that his nose was the
part which reached the car first and of
course it resulted in slight change of
countenance. Mr.. Rohne, CROPPED his way
through the darkness around the car, paid
his respects to the railroad company for
their kindness (O in leaving flatcars upon
crossings and passed on.
