Boutelle will be the conductor assisted
by Prof. NJ. +. Varney of the public
schools of Ortonville. The Institute
will be under the direction ofCO. Supt.
J. A. johnson. Prof Boutelle has been
a member OF the faculty of the state
Normal school at Winona for the past
eight years and during the latter part
of the time has done more of Institute
work than any other instructor in the
state. He is thoughly acquainted with
the wants Of the teachers of the state
and his teaching is so exceedingly
practical that all in his classes can not
help derivinga great deal of knowledge
that can be put into direct use in the
school room afterwards, Prof. Varney
is also a practical instructor having
been in the work all his life. Supt.
Johnson is too we'll known by the
teachers of this county to need any
introduction or recommendation by us.
Assurances have been received of a
large attendance of teachers from this

a competent corps of instructors the
Institute can not help being eminently
successful.

Another Concert.

James q. Clark, the we'll known
poet and ballahi>t will give nn even
ing of song in the Methodist church,
on next Thursday evening. Those
who heard Prof. Clark upon his former
visit to Morris will be very glad to
have this opportunity to hear him
again, and others will be still more
anxious to enjoy the concert To he
given 10y him. His poetry and music
has been enjoyed over all the land,
and has made the authors name a
household word from the Atlantic to
the Pacific. Nearly all of the music
which Prof. Clark sings is original, as
well as the words for many of his
choicest pieces. This concert is to be
given under the auspices Of the Meth
odist Church, and as the church is i'll
terested in the proceeds, we ask all to
do the church Il favor by attending, as
well as to insure for themselves the
enjoyment of real musical treat.

A Ditching Machine.

Messrs Watson & Leonard have Or
dered ditching machine of the most
improved pattern which they expect
to arrive in very few days. There are
in this county numerous pieces of
valuable low land which can be made
capable of cultivation even during
wet seasons by the expenditure of
little judicious labor in ditching. In
backward wet seasons like the one a
year ago the necessity for ditching
can be plainly seen. Many farms can
be considerably improved by having
more or less of this work done.
Messrs. Watson & Leonard intend
keeping this machine in operation
during the entire season and of course
will accomplish great deal of work.
The advent of this machine is by no
means an unimportant matter. By
greater area can be cultivated,
the danger of loss of crops by excess
sive rains will be lessonsd and greater
benefits derived than would be sup
posed upon first thought.

Is the N. r. X. II. Entitled to 1t:
EDITOR TRIBUNE:-
Should the County Commissioners
issue $50, 600 in bonds to the l.. +. d ID.
K. X. Co. under the circumstances as
they exist? Is question in which
all taxpayers are interested. Clearly
the people of this county have not got
what they expected, nor what was
promised them at the time the prOpO-
sitiOn was before them for their vote.
They had the promise of q cpmnptlng
RAILROAD line, and tliey have not got it,
Jim Hill might as well run both
roads.) And again, it was understood
by the voters that no part Of these
bonds were to he issued for any part of
the road not completed and cars rum
ming thereon to the Dakota line by
November 1882. All the voters in the
west part of the county expected this
road to he built i'll accordance with the
motto of the special election rs rngted,
and according to plat, the road was to
have been running across the county
in November last; and they had a
right to expect this, as IN voting on
tle plo position for issuing the bonds.
They thought, by having Il competing
line and also depot somewhere in
tie west part Of the county, they could
afford to pay their 5 share of the bonds.
1t seems clear to me that the l.. +. & d.
r. r. Co. have not only violated faith
in pooling with the St. p, NJ, Il NJ.
Ry. Co., but theM hare nat ssteft up to
Mci,: parf If h6Tcontruct. |. e, They
have not built the l.. +. u ID. II. r. to
the Dakota line by November, 1882, as
the call specified. That being the case
the Commissioners are under no Icgdl
or moral obligation to issue the bonds
and they by their acts as the repre-
sentatives of the county should beware
of putting the county under any fur
ther obligation to pay this $4,000,
1t is clearly one Of thase cases that
the C0urt should deeide, and if the
county is under any legal obligation
to pay this, let us pay it; and if not
under any legal obligation to pay this,
don't let us issue the these bonds, as
they have certainly violated faith on
their part. If the court leclded that
we are not bound TO issue these bonds,
then there is no repudiatiQn; if other
wise, then when issued Leu us pay
them like men, although it may be
unjust. The additional expense to
have this decided by the court now
will not be much, and as long as the
Commissioners have already retained
counsel outside of the county, and
feed them for this work, they are I'M
der obligation to have the court decide
it, as these attorneys seem to think
the issue of the bonds cannot he en-
forced in court.

The meeting of citizens at Berkin's
Hall, yesterday, was both large and
enthusiastic. 1t was made up of lead
ing men of Morris and vicinity who
understood the advantages to be de-
rived from creamery properly man
aged, and who We're determined to
have one. Mr.. Lawrence's PROPOSE
ton was accepted. 1t was determined
to organize a stock company and a
committee was appointed to draft ar
ticles of incorporation. While the
committee were at work the time was
taken up in discussion of topics of in
terest to those engaged in the new en-
terprise and quite a number of in
structive ideas brought out. The arti-
cles of incorporation were accepted as
soon as they were prepared and pre-
scented to the body assembled. > copy
will at once be filed with the Secretary
of State, after which they will be pub
lished. The company will begin with
So 900 capital, $1,000 OF which will be
used in the construction, equipment
and starting of the creamery and the
remaining $1,000 to be II surplus.
| When the meeting closed 1920 had
already been subscribed and the re-
| manning $500 assured. Work upon the
erection of Il building and the securing
| of ice will be commenced at once. 1t
is proposed to have COOLER" and es-
tablish routes at Glenwood, Herman,
| Graceville and other surrounding
points and thus gather cream from a
large section of county. The creamery
will have sufficient capacity to manu-
facture butter from the cream of 200
COWS from the time it is opened, and
will be capable of enlargement. Thus
will be established all enterprise of
vast Importance not only to Morris,
but the entire county and country
tributary to it, and which will mark
the beginning of an era of increased
and long continued prosperity.

is the guest of a party of wealthy New York
people at their camp in wild and beautiful
region that two years ago was unknown to
man.
The first notabel event in the career of Mr.
Shapiro, the inventor of the "Moabite" sheep
| skin decaogue, was his great discovery of
Simpsons coffin. "A few years ago." says
the Pail Mall Gazette, "he made his appear
| ance in London with this venerable relic of
the period of the Judges, which he endeav-
ored 10 persuade the authorities of the Pales-
tine Exploration Fund to purchase. The
genuineness of the article was vouched by the
| name of Sampson" legibly inscribed on the
wood in archaic characters. Mr.. Besant con-
suited DIR. Neubauer as to the probable date of
the inscription and it was only when the Ok
ford savant pointed out that the Philistines
had unaccountably misspelt the name of the
Hebrew that Mr.. Shapiro and the Coffin
simultaneously disappeared"
The body of James Carey, the mformer,
was followed to the grave by Mrs. Carey and
her children. the district surgeon and the as
sistant Magistrate of Port Elizabeth. A rab-
Bile of negroes also gathered in the burial
ground. No minister was present, and no
arrangement was made for religious services :.
but just as the coffin was lowered into the
grave, the surgeon, DIR. Ensor, who for some
time had labored under strong emotion, spoke
in clear and distinct voice as follows :
Friends, in the absence of any official min
lister, think it only right that a few words
should be said over the grave Of this poor
man. Letus pray" Every head was imme-
diately uncovered, and DR.. Ensor ofieted up
a short prayer. Earth was then thrown
on the coffin, and thus terminated the obse-
quies of James Carey.
