LOCAL NOTES.

The rain of Thursday morning
stopped the work of threshing for u
short time.
Improvements are the order of the
day this season and Colohan does not
fail to catch on.
A good stock of fresh fruit and
melons may be seen in Good d Bris-
bine's show window.
o. X. Gesme has recently painted
his wagon and blacksmith shop, and
greatly improved its appearance.
One man near town, we are informed,
threshed a crop of 37la bushels OF
wheat to the acre. Beat this who can.
An addition capable of holding eight
horses has just been built to the barn
at the st. Paul House and the entire
barn has been given coat of paint.
r.. r. Cole has just added a large
number and u great variety of pipes to
the stock in his store. They are now
we'll displayed in his front window.
Mrs. F. Corliss has fine piano
which she now offers for rent. Here
is good opportunity fora person to
gain the use of an excellent instru-
ment.
Keys to the engine house are hang
ing up in the office at the Metropoli-
tan Hotel. Nightwatchman Noting
also has set of keys. In case of fire
this information may be worth some
thing.
An advance car belonging to the
circus arrived on Thursday noon and
before night all available space in
town as we'll as in the surrounding
county was covered with flaming adj
| vertisements. In visiting the car we
saw an amount of posters that sur
qrised us.
At the caucus OH Thursday night, d.
S. Griffin, J. d. Good, M. Weber,
M. L. Torphy, c. l.. Brown, S. A.
Flaherty, -. Jones Jr., and a. A.
Stone were chosen to represent the
village of Morris in the Republican
county convention at the court house
this afternoon.
Mr.. P. Frisby has rented all that
portion of the Central House which is
unoccupied and will be ready to re-
ceive guests on and after Monday
next. After Oct. LIST we understand
that he will have control of the entire
hotel when he will have sufficient
room for rousing good business
Mr.. and Mrs. Frisby have been resi-
dents of the county since the early
days and have always been noted fol
their hospitality, and people visiting
the Central House while under Their
management will be sure to receive a
cordial reception and good treatment
J.. w. Curtiss is quite sure that 6
sneak theft entered his residence be-
tween 8 and six o'clock yesterday
morning. After meeting the up train
and caring for the express he went
home, locked the doors, undressed anC
) went to bed. Upon getting up he
found his clothes scattered about his
sleeping room, with pockets turned i'll
side out and several of the doors open
AS the pockets were empty to begil
with the burglar who took the pains
to do all this work must have beer
awfully Disguised. Mr.. Curtis ha:
now established most desirable re.
putation as being rough on ambitious
burglars; he will probably not be mo-
Tested in the future.
If any of the TRIBUNE readers o.
their friends wish to gain possession
of any Stevens county farming lant
they should do so atonce. Delay will
certainly be expensive for at no future
time will land be so cheap as now
The present large crop has already hat
the effect of calling attention to this
section and has increased the demand
for land. One careful observer esti
mates that prices will advance at leas
25 per cent. during the coming year
INQUIRIES for land are numerous anl
even now hardly a day passes bu
what brings some new conner in ques
of farm. Prices Of land which Cal
be bought for the amount of the mort
gage upon them or for sum slightly
in advance are growing beautifully les
day by day and at no distant time
will not be in the market. We repeat
those who wish farms for homes o.
who wish to take advantage of thu
"risen which is sure to come aloult
buy at once. Time will prove thi
advice to be sound.
Upon Mat Diedrich's farm is piec
of ground covered with small tree
which is well worth looking over. 1
shows first what everybody know
that trees will grow here and secont
that they will grow very rapidly whel
properly cultivated. These trees wer'
planted last spring and were then bu
three or four inches high. Now man,
of them are four and half feet high
The trees being SO small were easily
planted. After the ground had beer
prepared a slight furrow was made
with hoe in which the seedlings
were placed and the roots covered
After this was done the young tree
were carefully cultivated and KEEP
absolutely free from weeds. The re
suit can be seen by any one who will
visit the place. This is certainly the
way to grow trees and no one wht
cultivates and cares for them as care
fully as Mr.. Diedrich has done neet
fail. No farm should be without {
grove of trees.
