S. w. Frasier, of the Browns Val

The horse thief is abroad in the
land. A valuable horse was stolen
from G.. c. Dablow last Saturday
evening and as as yet no clue has
been found to the thief. The manner
in which criminals have been con-
victed in this county in the past will
not tend to lessen the number of &C.
currences of this kind.
Cakes Bros Swiss Bell Ringers &
Comedy company were in Phonex
Hall last Thursday evening. There
was large audience. The entertain
ment was good in some respects and
disappointing IN others. On the
whole it did not prove to be as good
as newspapers and individuals had
recommended 1t to be.
The trip of the TRIBUNE man to the
cities last week was not wholly one of
pleasure. A fine lot of stationery
was purchased and also quantity of
new job and advertising type. We
are now better able than ever to do
fine and fancy job work. In stationery
we now have a full line of invitations,
programmes and calling cards as we'll
rs of commercial stationery, Call
and see samples and get prices.
"Give the devil his due" The
wheat rate charged upon the Brecken-
ridge division of the Manitoba road is
the lowest in the state. 1t is lower
than upon other divisions of the
same road and considerably lower
than the rate upon other roads. Here
is an advantage which all farmers liv-
ing adjacent to this line of road are
enjoying and one that should not be
overlooked.
Some Of the farmers adjacent to
Morris are improving this pleasant
weather, by hauling the manure from
the barns throughout the city and
spreading it upon their fields. They
are putting their time to good pur-
pose. The soil in this county is pc
culiarly susceptible to stimulating in
| f1uences and all forts in fertiliZing

warded when the AarYests are gather:

! There is consolation In the thought
that the EDITORS work is not al in
vain. An exchange says newspaper
bustles are now made from back
numbers. 1t is pretty tough to think
a mans best journalistic effort:
should THUS be sat upon. 1t mashe'
all the glory out of the profession
and were it not that editors feel tina
they have not only enlightened I
woman's mind but improved he
shape, he might as well throw up tn
sponge in disgust and retire from
world of hustle aud deceit,-Ex.
