Thursday, Charles Quinn was enjoy
ing nap at the depot when some fell
lows who believe in giving jokes
very practical nature, tied his head and
feet to the board upon which he was
living and then SUSPENDED the board
How Quinn got down we don't know
Ifhe should find the perpetrators OF
the meanness something will probably
happen.
Last week some men who where
passing through town with a herd OF
cattle, stole valuable Jersey cali
from DIR. Sutherland's pasture. The
drovers were overtaken three days
after the calf was stolen, by NJ. 3.
Stevens and the animal recovered,
Mr.. Stevens suggested the propriety
of paying $14 for expenses as well as
giving the property which suggestion
the drovers acted upon. The next day
the calf came home by express.
The Strawberry and ice cream festi-
val given at the Methodist church
was success, both socially and Fl.
nancially. The rain of the afternoon
and the threatening aspect of the
weather may have kept few away
but still the attendance was good
There was also difficulty in getting
strawberries. Only part of theil
order came and those were extremely
high. There were enough however to
serve all the guests and under the
circumstances none complained OF
high prices. The net proceeds to the
church are between $25 and $50.
Miss Cora, the little daughter of DIR.
and Mrs. III. L. Hnlburd, is passion
ately fond of flowers and spends con-
siderable time in gathering them from
the prairies where they grow in such
profusion. Appare ntly she gathers
for others more then for herself as
hardly day passes but what some
one is remembered with one of her
floral gifts. On Thursday she taste
fully arranged large ,umber of bou-
Duets, packed them carefully and sent
them by express to Minneapolis to be
distributed in the hospitals there.
Perhaps the physicians in charge
could prescribe no better than this
child has done.
The dance intended to be given by
members of the Phoenix Fire Com
pany on the night of July 4th, has
been postponed. AS there is to be no
celebration here and as quite an ex-
cursion party, including all members
of the orchestra and band, will go to
Willard or Little Falls for that day
and will not return until late in the
evening, it was thought the hop would
hardly be success, hence the post
ponement. We regret that there is to
be no "doin's" here on the Fourth and
that it will be necessary for our citi-
zens to show their patriotism else
where but such is to be the case.
Morris will be very quiet on the COM
ing Independence day.
Quite number of the people of our
city will visit Willard on the Fourth of
July and another party will visit
Little Falls. The band with party
of excursionists will visit Willard
and the base ball club
with their friends expect to go to
Little Falls. The train will be run,
we are told, SO that it will accom-
modate all. Leaving Morris at the
usual time in the morning, it will run
to Little Falls and be held there long
enough for the game of base ball to be
completed when it will start upon the
return trip, reaching Willard at the
close of the celebration there to bring
the excursionists home. If the
weather is good each party will no
doubt be large.
There is to be conference of the
Minnesota Valley division of Congre-
gationalists at Hancock, commencing
on Tuesday evening. Our neighbor
Rev. Mr.. Ruddock will be glad to see
Morris represented beyond the appear
ance Of the Pastor and a trustee.
Some of the Morrisonians will no
