LOCAL. NOTES.

The new village council met last
evening.
Another welcome letter from Rev.
j. p. Hutchinson, will be found in this
issue.
Miss Kellogg will soon be ready to
receive customers in her new shop on
the corner of Atlantic Ave. and Sew
enth streets.
The MINISTRIES are in training and
will probably come before-an unex-
pecting public next week. Don't fail
to hear them.
Messrs. Larson Il Wilson's new safe
arrived and was put in position in
their store on Monday. 1t is one of
Halls safes, like the one this firm
used before last November's fire and
is both fire and burglar proof.
Lumber dealers speak we'll of the
| commencement of their trade this
spring. The city trade is brisk now
and a lively country trade is expected
after seeding is over. Many farmers
have reached point where they are
able to buildnew and more commodi-
Gus buildings and make other neces-
sary improvements.
That day train did not materialize.
We were informed upon what we sup
posed to be reliable information that
the day train would again be put upon
the road Oh Monday of this week,
hence our announcement in Saturdays
issue. What railroads intend to do is
one of the hardest things in the world
to find out and we shall not announce
that train again till it comes.
o. X. Gesme, formerly of Hancock,
has purchased the blacksmith shop
formerly occupied by p. Dahl, and
moved it upon an adjacent lot on
Fourth st. He is building good
sized addition to it and will engage in
wagon making as we'll as blacksmith
ing. Mr.. Gesme is Il good mechanic;
he is now in Il thriving place and sue
cess awaits MIN.
Mars Bros. are fitting up their build
ing upon Atlantic Avenue South, and
it will be occupied by c. w. Gaffney
about the first of April. They are also
making some repairs upon the shed
adjacent. They have fitted up an
office in it and will carry Oh their
machinery business in it during the
coming year. The number of business
houses in the block is thus increased
by one.
G.. :. BlOdgett, of Donnelly, has
closed out his business and expected
to leave last night with his family for
Andover, Dakota, where he will en-
gage in the lumber and furniture bust
ness. Mr.. Blodgett is a pleasant bust
ness man and we regret that he has
decided to leave Stevens county.
When people get the Dakota fever,
however, you can do nothing with
them but to let them go.
Bonds for 10000 were negotiated by
the county commissioners yesterday,
with the Stevens County Bank, at six
per cent. $4,000 of this amount is TO
be used for paying the floating indebt-
edness of the county, and 10000 for
the construction of the new county
buildings. The action of the commits
sioners in regard to the bonds of the
Little Falls s. Dakota Railroad Com
pany will be found in our next issue,
Property owners in ST. Cloud are do
ing great injury 20 the city by hold
ing building lots at unreasOnably high
prices, beyond the reach Of the Ordi-
nary buyer and neglecting to build
tenement houses. Fifteen families
who wished to make st. Cloud their
home. have in the past two months
been forced TO go elsewhere, because
they could neither get building lots
within their means nor q house to rent.
st. Cloud Journal.
Can not the same complaint be
justly made against property owners
in Morris?
With this issue of the TRIBUNE we
present an official copy of the laws
passed by the the Minnesota legislat-
ure this past winter. This will give
our readers all opportunity to BECOME
conversant with all the work of the
recent Legislature. The supplement
contains also an article upon Forestry
by l., u. Hodges that is well worth
perusing. We advise the keeping this
supplement as valuable fefeleace
matter.
In answer to numerous inquiries re-
garding the coming teachers examin-
atoms, will state that the questions

raj philosophy, physical geography

aud Saturday, at the close of the insti-
tute. j. A. JOHNSON,

! The public schools of Morris l8ye
long been the pride of our citizens.
We have often referred to them and
their excellencies. The entire school
and its management deserve nothing
but commentator. We have some
times wondered If much of the praise
was not given because they are oar
schools. Elsewhere we publish brief
communication from G. w. Benton,
who lately visited the schools in be-
half of the state high school board,
which shows that the schools impress
strangers fully as well as they do our
own citizens, and which strengthens
