The saloon license in the village of
Morris for the coming year has been
fixed at $400. There WAS y disposition
on the part of the majority of the
council to raise the license 10 $500, but
rs no issue WAS made of the license

expression of the people was taken
upon the matter it was thought best
to leave the license at T400 where it
| has been for number OF years passed
| w. A. Suits has been heard from
again. At least it is reasonably GER
| tain that it Is Suits who has been
heard from. \ forged draft upon
Mills & Leavens Of Minneapolis and
Duluth was negotiated IN Souix City
last Saturday.. The victims of this
| affable young man increase in num-
Der and it would seem that there would

! down.
| In another column we publish the
quarterly report of the First National
| Bank to the Comptroller OF Currency

! business ending March 10th 1855. 1t is

eyer, that since the date Of Fhts report

real estate it was compelled to take of
kenner & Moore owl .,:
.,Iu mas nad PAID III by
the stock holders $15, 900 in cash, thus

thoroughly sound financial basis with
plenty of money for the accommodate
ton of its pattnns.
The Mime Ahlander-Bergstrom
Concert Co. will give q concert in
Phoenix Hall Wednesday April 18th.
The company offers. many attractions.
Mile Ahlander is a very charming
young lady, who has spent most of
her life in Sweden. She comes to
America with the highest tributes
from the musical critics fthat music
loving land. It ia said that che is the
possessorpfa wonderously rich soprano
full and powerful, yet clear sweet and
pleasing. She sings in English as
well as in Swedish, so that Americans
can enjoy her singing as we'll as those
from her native land. This concert
will doubtless be a musical treat.
The time is near at hand when the
village should be thoroughly cleaned.
Scattered about barns and alleys can
now be seen the usual wiuter's accu-
~, LOT Of rl, o1l Of
which should be cleaned upthorough-
ly before warm weather comes. A
visitation of cholera j. confidently ex-
! pectea this approaching season and as
this scourge revels in any kind of filth
there is an additional reoson for TAX
ing all possible hygienic precautions
this spring. Each and every property
| owner should see that his premises
are thoroughly cleaned as soon as the
weather will permit, without waiting
to be compelled to do so by the Board
of Health.
An Important meeting Of business
men was held at ]. d. Goods store on
Monday afternoon commencing at
four o'clock. The object Of the meet
ing was to agree upon some plan for
united work in doing away with the
credit system as far as possible, in re-
pairing and making roads leading to
the village and in any other enter
prises that will prove mutually adj
vantageous. There are many desir-
able things that can be accomplished
| by the united Efforts Of the business
men of Morris and the TIBUNE takes
pleasure In noting beginning in this
commendabIe direction. Other meet
ings will be called soon, an organiza-
| ton be perfected and much good work
will probably be accomplished.
An ordinance is now being consid-
cred by the village council which pro-
vides for the appointment of three
fire wardens. It is Of n eommendable
nature and will doubtless become a
law. II makes it the duty of these
fire wardens to examine all stoves, fur
naces, stove-pipes and chimneys in
the buildings of the city during the
month Of March and again in the
month of November Of eaci. year and
at such other times as in their judg.
ment seems necessary and gives then
author IS TO compel owners Of proper
ty to rebuild or repair as may bt
necessary to insure safety from fires
This is all excellent precautionary
measure. 'i'iie appointment Of these
fire wardens VIII hu the meaasof pre-
uenting fires and ought to cause a low
erlng Of insurance rates.
