Morris tribune., 1882-04-20

The heavens presented wonderful sight
last Sunday evening with the brilliant
aurora borealis that Illuminated the sky
with flaming streaks of light in all direc,
items. The aurora made its appearance
nearly every night last week, and for some
of the extraordinary displays and the pecu
liar electrical condition which produced
them we can find no explanation.
Tomorrow evening, at Good s. Bris,
bine's hall, Prof. Don Juan will give, un.
der the auspices of the board of trade, an
entertainment to consist of ventriloquial
and other deceptive feats. Some of the
things advertised are almost incredible but
he promises to perform them all. The
press speaks very flatteringly of the pro.
lessor and tells us we are to have pleas
ing evenings entertainment.
The wood dealers are still at it. Hard
maple wood will now be delivered at $5, so
per cord. Mr.. bowers has even gone fur
Their than that, he has not only decreased
the price, but for the benefit of that por.
ton of humanity who have constitutional
objection TO using a wood saw, he has had
u large amount sawed ready for use. We
cannot understand why these gentlemen
did not do this way last winter when more
wood was needed.
Another evidence of the prosperity Of
this place and of the importance attached
to it abroad is given in the fact that the
postoffics here has been made an inter
national money order office. Money Or
ders can now be obtained here payable at
money order offices in the United Kingdom
of Great Britain and Ireland, the German
Empire, Italy, France and Algeria, Den.
mark, Sweden, Norway, Holland, The
Grand Duchy of Luxemberg and the Do.
minion of Canada Lists of money order
offices in the above mentioned countries,
tables for the conversion of foreign into
U. S. currency, AMI all necessary blanks
have been received. This new departure
supplies long felt want and the amount
of business already done shows that it will
be truly appreciated.
The Breyer Comedy Company enter
tanned the people of Morris three evenings
last week The plays presented were
"The Ticket of Leave Man, East Lynne
and Lady of Lyons" W. V. Breyer aud
Miss Nellie Drury, who took the eading
parts, are among the best actors who have
ever visited this place. In many of the
troupes which have visited US there have
been one or two good actors, but the sup
port given them has been so poor that the
plays rendered were almost worthless
This company is noted exception to that
class, the support being strong one.
Each member of the company is master of
the situation and the plays presented by
them were decidedly entertaining. We
cordially recommend the Breyer Comedy
Company to our exchanges and TO all who
may have an opportunity to hear them.
The audiences assembled in the hall last
Thursday and Friday evenings were con
SiuSIdoly aHuoS GU Ny u iC" Hall vi uhhCh
men and Inbred boys, by their rowdyism,
and we regret 10 say there was no effort
made to suppress the disorder by the Off
Gals who should have done so. These
roisterers in imitation of other brutes were
mewing like cats, practicing the antics of
monkeys and were yelling quite proms
cuously. People visiting tile hall have had
occasion to complain of this sort of thing
too often of late, and measures should be
adopted to have it stopped at once. If it
continues it will soon reach such pass
that persons cannot visit the hall without
fear of beng insulted If these bosterous
fellows wish an opportunity for acting out
their natures it should be afforded them in
little building provided by the city faith
ers for that purpose and where respectable
people will not be annoyed.
