Mr.. WoodWard'S articles or "0eftU
are really superb, They are show i
themselves.
"He laughs ut scars who neve
felt wound.n The base ball season
has opened and We editor is no
laughing.
Go and see Rohne q Anderson
store. The adornments III the way o
papering are aesthetic. The large
cities had better look we'll to thei
laurels.
A poem is given in another column
which was written for and given a
the recent entertainment in the Con
gregational church by Rev. J. p
Hutchinson.
All the performers did we'll at the
entertainment in the Congregational
church on Wednesday evening last
and an attractive and enjoyable pro-
gramme was carried out. The church
ought to have been crowded.
At the close of the entertainment at
the church a week ago tonight Rev.
]. =. Hutchinson thanked all who
had responded to his invitation to aid
in getting up that really good musical
and literary entertainment. He be-
lieves in the influence of poetry and
music as agents of refinement.
Members of the school board should
have that narrow-gauge' ordinance re-
voked. We want the young people
of Morris to have music in their list of
educational advantages. If the boys
and girls can not have music lessons
in the school they ought not to be
hindered from having them out.
r.. b. Macarthur and Catherine Gra-
ham were married at Hancock a week
ago to-day by Rev. G. B. Nutting
They take up their residence at once
upon Mr.. McArthur's farm in the
town of Hodges. Mr.. Macarthur came
to Stevens county in an early day and
has since been one of our leading,
representative citizens. He has many
friends who now join in extending
congratulations to himself and bride.
1t is rumored, at least, that the right
of way of the Manitoba company is to
be cleared off through town. If
every thing is moved off and the
ground graded up, the improvement
will be q great one and the appearance
Of the business part of town will be
materially changed for the better.
If, however, only part Of the build
ings on the right of way are to be re-
moved and others left where they are,
the improvement will hardly be worth
talking about.
About eleven o'clock this forenoon
the town was alarmed by the cry of a
run away. Everybody Immediately |
took position on the street corners and |
sidewalks to take in the fun and were
waiting with eager expectancy for the
team to make it's appearance, when
some one with an inquiring turn of
mind made the discovery that it was
DR.. Hulburd's stable burning and not
a runaway at all, By this time the
stable was nearly burned to the ground
The fire company, never the less, got
to the scene of action with all COM
mendable haste and were there in
time to see where the stable had been.
: very few minutes sufficed to lay the
hose, place the engine in position and
get it ready for action, but 1t wouldn't
act worth cent. 1t had evidently
aid in the house so long without be-
ng used that the valves were dried up
and not in working trim. All of
which goes to show the necessity of
'requent experiments with the engine
both on account of the greater GER
,ainty of the engine working satisfac-
DRY and the training 1t would afford
he members of the fire company.
Foreman Munro ordered the squad be-
oDging to Engine No. to meet at
Goods store, for the purpose of putting
he engine in order and testing it,this
afternoon. AT the present we are I'M
lble to state the amount of DR.. Hull
,ufd's loss,
