COMPLIMENTARY.

In conversation with Hon. l.. B.
Hodges, who has just returned from an
extended trip along the line of the North
ern Pacific railroad, that gentleman stated
in reply to question, that the land in this
immediate vicinity compared very favor.
ably with any he had seen in that vicinity.
He speaks very favorably of the N. P.
country, but yet was free to admit, that
while there are many sections of equally
as good soil, yet that Stevens county will
compare favorably with the best of them,
in depth of soil, its richness and general
lay Of the land All who know Mr..
Hodges will appreciate this compliment,
as he is man who, having had long ex-
perience in this country, is of good judg-
ment, and one who is bluntly honest in his
opinions, and who never says what he does
not candidly believe

-E,lothel Change.

The drug trade of Morris has undergone
numerous changes of late and the business
has thus become more concentrated. The
last deal in this line occurred Saturday,
when Messrs. G. H. Munro & Co. pur-
chased the drug stock and fixtures owned
by Mr.. NJ Wcbber and which they pro,
pose consolidating with their own stock.
This leaves Morris with two first class
drug stores, and in a healthy country like
this, it is all that is needed. The Weber
stock will probably remain where it is un,
til Messrs. Munro & Co. have their new
store fitted up which will be about the
middle of April or Whereabouts.

General Surprise Party.

A balmy, snow laden zephyr from the
sunny south astonished our citizens last
Friday and Saturday, and made sudden
and somewhat disagreeable change to
come DER the delightful pleasantness
which pervaded this favored region prior
to that time. The festive citizens and
citizenesses unpacked their furs and donned
heavier clothing made doubly necessary
by the mother,in,law like frigidity which
prevailed. From the tone of the remarks
called forth by the sudden transition from
tropical humidity to arctic frisidity we
infer the change was rather more agreeable
than otherwise to majority.

Quite large party assembled at Bris-
bine's hall last Friday evening, the occa-
sion of the grand ball and prize drawing
of Smith American organ. The hall
was neatly decorated and all details care
fully arranged, excellent music being pro
viued for the occasion by Otto's string
band of Willmar. Owing to some of the
tickets not being disposed of and others
not having been paid for, the drawing did
not take place as announced, to the disap-
pointment of not O few. However, we
learn that the managers propose to have
the organ drawn for at an early date, and
will announce the time and place as soon
as the necessary arrangements are COM
pleted.

The question as to where the new town
cast of Morris on the line of the Little
Falls s. Dakota railroad is to be located is
creating some little stir in the eastern part
of the county, and already we are Devil
dered by hearing people talk about Scan
diaville and Framness City, and the re-
spective merits Of these rival paper towns.
Where are these towns to be situateda is
the first question. Well they are to be
about ON the line between Stevens and
Pope counties Framness City is to be
located near the north end of Moose lake,
and Scandiaville on the banks of the rag
ing() Chippewa, in Pope county The
people of Framness, or at least a num-
Der of them, favor having the new
town located so as to be in Stevens county
and in their township; the site they
recommend being on the lands of Erick
Oleson and Thos. Oleson, at o point where
the Morris, Glenwood, Framness, Han
cock and other state and town roads inter-
sect each other. 1t is argued that station
reason, that as the town of Framness is OH
the line of road, is one of the heaviest tax
paying towns in the county, and is con.
venient distance from Morris, they should
have transportation and other facilities as
we'll as derive the advantages of any bene-
fits accruing from the new town located i'll
their midst. The people in the vicinity of
Framness seem to think that some of our
citizens should bestir themselves in their
behalf and use any influence they may
have toward inducing the railroad com
pany to establish the first station east from
here in this instead of Pope county 1t
would seem at first thought that our bust
ness men would not be favorably disposed
toward this enterprise, for the reason that
| it would conflict with their interests by
reducing the territory and trade tributary
to this point. Y ct when we come to view
the matter in another light it would seem
that it was directly to our interests to be
stir ourselves in this regard, and for these
reasons: First, there will be q station III
that vicinity. OF this there is 10 doubt
and since it will be somewhere within a
mile of the point indicated it would seen
; but right that the citizens of Framncss ant
the people of Stevens county should deriv,
whatever benefits will follow, in the line O.
increase in the value of taxable propert,
and in the general advantages to be dc
r. L. Al. i
vantage of our business men to establish
branch stores ut that point, in fact itwoult
: be necessary that they hold II controlling
] interest in that as well as any other town
) that may spring up in the territory nov
tributary to this point,

Cheap Trees.

Now is the time to order trees, as you
can get them for about cost. Our tree
agents got started on the war path in the
wood business, and are not contend with
making war over wood that is cut and
dry, but are going to the very root of the
difficulty, as it were, and firing young trees
and cuttings over each others heads at the
people, each evidently trying to see who
can throw the most trees for the least
money.

Dat THIEF Captured.
On Tuesday last young man named
Martin Kiwian, who has been at work in
this vicinity for some time past, and who
has hitherto borne good reputation, was
arrested on a charge of stealing oats from
the granary of Mr.. Casey, who resides
south of town For some time past Biwian
has been hauling and selling oats; and as
it was known that he had none Of his own,
suspicion was naturally aroused, and when
the grain was missed from Casey's granary
he was arrested as above stated. This
charge, however, did not hold good, rs it
was impossible to prove property by iden-
tifying the grain, and Kiwian was there.
upon discharged; but was Immediately re-
arrested on complaint of ID. r. Sutherland
for obtaining goods under false prctenses
1t appears that the prisoner, wi had been
hauling oats from the doctors furm, had
obtained one or more loads, by represent
ing to the foreman in charge, that he had
been sent for them. On being brought up
before Justice Hutc.ins the prisoner
waived an examination, and was admitted
to bail in the sum of $500 for appearance
before the grand jury. Martin has been
doing a wholesale business in oats of late,
having disposed of between six and seven
hundred bushels to different parties in
town. Cogel & DeKay purchased 800
bushels from him, w. Mcpherson over
100, w. Mccullough 100, and E. j. Jones
over 100 Where the oats came from or
where the money went to is a mystery
but it would seem reasonable to suppose
that there are other parties implicated, as
no such amount of grain could be stolen
without being missed at once; and we are
inclined to believe that later developments
will show collision between Kiwian and a
party or parties unknown in the theft.

On Wednesday evening last the Morris
Union No of the Endowment Aid
Union of America, was organized at this
place by Deputy Grand Master Z. G.
Manly. This organization is an insurance
association, and one operated on q new
plan, affording people of either sex and of
various ages, who are not physically dis
qualified from membership, with a cheap
insurance, somewhat after the plans of the
Masonic or other relief associations. The
sessions are secret; and members are duly
initiated, after examination as to physical
condition, etc. The amount of insurance
years being entitled to $4,000. the highest
amount paid; the scale of premiums
makes graded ascent for each year of
age, and az the same time the amount of
insurance decrease until reaching to per
sons of G5 years, who are insured for q
sum not to exceed $780, Assessments,
ranging from one to two dollars, are at
present levied for every six deaths that &C.
cur; but as the total mem bership increases,
it now being about IA 900, this assessment
will cover larger number of deaths, as
the income will increase i'll greater proper
ton than the per cent. of loss. The lodge
al this place was organized with thirty
charter members, among whom were one
or two ladies. The second and fourth
Tuesday of each month is the date of hold
ing regular meetings, and for the present
the Union will occupy the court house.
