We visited St. Paul and Minneapo-
lis last week and while there selected
and purchased a large amount of new
type and an unusually large amount
of stationery. We are now as we'll, if
not better, equipped for first class job
work than we have ever been before.
Call and see specimens of our work
and get prices before ordering else
where.
Rev. X. F. Norris has accepted a
call from the Congregational church
at this place and will be its pastor
for the coming year. Mr.. Norris
will find people here who appreci-
ate the value of churches and who
will give him hearty support in all
his coming years work. Under his
pastorship, we believe, the Congre-
gational church will find the year to
come one ofgrowth and development.
We take pleasure in calling the at
tention of our readers to the adver-
tisement of E. f. Hill, for the North
western Endowment and Legacy AS
ISOLATION of Red Wing. This Life and
Endowment insurance company,
since its organization, has grown to

officers are all we'll known and reliable
men and are of themselves sufficient
guarantee of the reliability of the
company.
The local wood market is consid-
erably agitated. A number of wood
yards have been opened for the win
ter and each is trying to do the bust
ness of the place. On Monday the
proprietors ofone of the yards, scat
tered posters, proclaming their inteD-
ton to sell wood 25cts per cord cheap
er than anybody else in town. In a
few hours another firm had posters
out meeting the cut in prices and so
it goes. Farmers and others should
improve the opportunity to get some
cheap fuel.
A recent number of the Pioneer
Press contains the names of num-
Der of Morris gentlemen who are
willing to accept post-offices, foreign
missions etc under the new admin
istration. Some of them deny the
soft impeachment and some of them
do not. Perhaps those who declare
that they don't want any of the fat
places are like the Arizona editor who
remarked: 1--WE don't want the post
office, but we are in the hands of our
friends; and by the Eternal they'll
see that we get it, whether we want
it or not"
Eric Nordquist, was arrested one
week ago to-day, upon u warrant
sworn out by Chas. Wilson, charging
him with having set fire to the build
ing occupied by said Nordquist Jas a
tailor shop and which burned on Noy.
9th. He was reliesed on bail of
$4,000 until the following Friday, the
time set for his examination. Nord-
quist failed to appear and the bail was
forfeited. Incendiarism is one of the
most serious crimes of which person
can be guilty. Morris has suffered
enough at the hands of incendiaries
50 that her citizens feel interested in
the punishment of tirebugs, wher-
ever they may be found, and the es'
cape of this Nordquist, without even
q preliminary examination, causes q
great deal of disappointment. The
TRIBUNE believes that being charged
with such crime, Nordquist's bal
should have been much heavier and
his escape made matter of much
greater difficulty. 1t is to be hoped
that he may yet be caught aud bt
made to answer the charge made
