Hulburd's office every
Tuesday evenings They
have acted favorably supon u
number of applications for admission
and as soon as necessary papers can
be made out the membership will he
increased more than one half. The
order is q beneficent one and the
TRIBUNE is pleased to chronicle evil
dences ofits prosperity.
1t seems strange that so many of
the wealthy people of the East will
allow their money to he idle or bring
them but nominal rate of interest
when there are such wonderful oppor-
tunities for profitable investment in
the fertile lands of Stevens county.
There are thousands of acres of land
for sale at ridiculously low prices that
are as sure to double in value in the
next few years as Minnesota is sure
to develop and grow in wealth and
population. Ye men of means come
and see for yourselves what the possi-
bilities are.
William Foster is missing. Foul
play is not suspected but 1t is thought
that he has tired of home and has
concluded to look for pastures new.
When he left his home in the town
of Swan Lake about three weeks ago,
he told his devoted wife that he was
coming to town to work but after
reaching the city, he sold his cattle
and departed. He forgot not only to
go to work but he also forgot to pay
his debts. Foster will be remembered
as the man who was tried, but not
convicted, for attempted rape, in this
county in the spring of 1888.
"Old Probabilities is after the
editor-in-chief this week with a
stuffed club for misquoting him in
our last issue. He insists that he
said there would be rain If the wind
was south or southwest. The wind
has been in neither of these direc-
tions, consequently there has been no
rain. He now states, and Judging
from his positive manner we think he
means it, that from Friday of this
week till Nov. 1st. there is to be good
weather after which there will be an
amo mt of rain and snow and general
that will surprise
you. This he says you can bet on.
James r. Carrigan of Minneapolis
and John F. Carrere of st. Paul
lectured in the Catholic church of
this place last Sunday evening. They
advocate high license and propose to
do away with the liquor traffic by
educating the people above it. Both
are interesting and logical speakers
and held the undivided attention of
their large audience throughout.
Forty four people signed the pledge.
Messrs. Carrigan and Carrere are do
ing an important work, and they will
meet with hearty welcome in Nor
ris SHOULD they, in the future, be able
to visit this place again.
The TRIBUNE man wants to buy
some oats-lots of them-and will
pay the highest cash price. There
may be some competition in the oats
business, but, with face as long as
from our sauctum table down to the
foot of the stairs, we solemnly advise
farmers not to take advantage of it.
Come to us directly and let us buy
what you have. Competition is a
good thing in the wheat market Or in
any venture where other peoples
money is used to keep it up, but when
it gets to fooling with oats and has to
be maintained at our expense, we do
most promptly and earnestly object.
if you do insist upon look
ing about, please remember us for we
do want some oats;
Farmers should bear in mind that
there are competing buyers in Morris
for wheat ard should not unload their
grain until they have ascertained who
will give most for it. There is no
in the buying of wheat
tickets but there is in the buying of
the wheat itself. Therefore do your
looking about while your grain is
still on your wagons, for it will do
you no good to hunt for high prices
upon wheat tickets. See A. Dekay,
N. r. Spur, Wells Pearce & Co., and
G. P. Maginnis and give the grain to
the one who bids highest for it. We
do not know whether this paragraph
will please buyers or not, but if it
will enable farmers to get any more
for their grain, the TRIBUNE will be
