lied and present indications are that
the school will be an entire success
There is room for others to join If they
desire. The second lesson was given
last night,
We are glad to announce that after
DIR. Hale's departure, Morris will not
be without dentist. DR.. A. {. Green
lee, who is now with DIR. Hale, intends
becoming permanent resident OF
Morris, and will supply all her dental
wants. DR.. Greenlee is thoroughly
competent and reliable dentist, and
we are glad to welcome him as per-
manent resident of the place.
Good 4 Brisbine's old store had one
occupant which the new structure will
not have. We refer to Fan. All who
frequented the old store will well re-
member the faithful watch dog. The
way in which she died trying to pro-
tect the store from that fatal fire, is
common subject for remark. Fan no
doubt could have protected the store
from thieves, and she made valient
effort to protect it against fire. Her
fidelity is made the subject of poem,
bv Rev. J. p. Hutchinson, which is
given in another column.
The proper authorities should look
to it, that precaution be taken to pre-
vent that terrible scourge smallpox
from etfecting an entrance into our
town. That the disease is prevailing
extensively in the woods east and
north of us, is well known. That we
have escaped scourge in other years
is no reason why we should neglect to
evince moderate caution at least.
Vaccination should be insisted on in
every individual. 1t reduces the dam
ger of contracting this disease and
even if contracted will insure the at
tack being very light one.
On Monday, station agent Romine
received instructions to hurry trains
on toward their destination rapidly as
|
approaching. Trains were hurried
onward and many others taking the
alarm, huridly prepared for storm.
But it was all unnecessary. True, a
terrific blizzard was raging in Dakota
on that day, but with all its aggres-
, sive force it was unable to subjugate
! this favored state and the quiet of
Minnesota's sunny atmosphere was
undisturbed. Perhaps this atmos-
phere has been sufficiently inoculated
with infectious storms to be blizzard
proof for the rest of the season.
A double runaway enlivened Allan
tic Avence for short time Wednes-
day, just after noon. Two teams, one
owned by commissioner Hegland and
the other by L. J. Schlottman, were
the principal actors. Mr.. Highlands
team was stopped before it did any
damage. The other seemed to be one
of the pon-suppressible sort. Jerking
out two Of t4.e POSTS in front of Geo.
H. Munro 4 CO.'S drug stose foE 3 be-
ginning, they next proceeded to make
kindling wood out Of the sleigh. Al
ter the team was stopped, near the
section house, just north of town, the
sleigh was found to be quite thorough
" "pulverized" and the pieces well
scattered. No one hurt.
If the young womah @Lq sent us
that sweet little poem entitled "Jnlia's
Last Slipper" has the slightest possi-
BILE regard for her loving, and no doubt
over indulgent parents, she will urge
upon them the propriety of at once
buying Julia new slippers; it is not
usually considered good form to go
about with one slipper, or one slipper
and one shoe; besides, if the sixe Of
Julia's foot is anything like the size of
the poem, we give it as our unhesitat-
ing belief that there Is more Of Julia
on the cold, cold ground that is good
for her, and If your indulgent parent
will only wear the other slipper out in
eradicating your poetical genius, this
patient and peace loving community
will rise up and bless him.
Anton Anderson had very narrow
escape from q serious injury last Tues
day evening. AS he Wes about to cross
the L. F. & D. track just the other side
of the river, from the north, an en-
CINE suddenly darted out of the cut.
The horses had already stepped upon
the track when they saw the approach
ing engine and quickly turned off into
the ditch beside the track. The tongue
to the sleigh was broken, and one of
the horses considerably injured, Had
the team attempted to cross the TRACK
instead of swinging to one side, Mr..
Anderson would certainly have been
killed. The crossing is SO close to the
end of the cut that it is impossible for
one approaching with team to see
whether train is approaching or not,
and engineers should be careful to
give warning by flGWilg the whistle
or ringing the bell. In this ease the
engineer dia neither,
By noticing the expression of resig-
nation to the powers that be, upon the
face of the average citizen, one would
at once know that st. Valentines day
is approaching. "What can't be cured
must be endured, end all have at last
gotten their courage UP 10 SUCH pitch
that they are able to determine to en-
dure. Next Wednesday is the day.
So many valentines have been sold
that wholesale dealers are unable to
fill further orders, and indications are
that everybody will be remembered
on the eventful day. Those who are
short will be shown up as they would
