and the choir. The music was excel
lent and the children performed their
parts we'll. The church was made
beautiful by profusion of flowers
and all seemed to be in harmony with
} the spirit of the occasion.
J d. Good is making Il few import
ant changes in the Central House. He
has taken out some of the partitions
down stairs and is fitting up fine
store room. The remaining rooms in
the house are to be 're-papered and
cleaned and will be leased separately.
The Central House is in as fine loca-
ton for BUSINESS as any in the city.
Rev. w. HI. Kaufman, of Barnes
vile, will give a series of five lectures
on Temperance and Labor Reform at
the Court House and Congregational
church in Morris beginning next Sat-
urday. E. S. Hall writes from Neche,
D. I. asking us to make this an
nouncement and recommends Rev.
Kaufman as being unusually well
qualified to speak on these subjects.
An Illinois newspaper publisher
achieved what ought to have been
Immortality by suing forty-three de-
linquent subscribers and obtaining
Judgment against them all. Twenty
eight who affirmed that they had no
more property than the law exempts
from attachment were arrested for
petty larceny. It's refreshing to see
the poor down-trodden editor oc-
casionally assert himself.

| pected to address the Father Matthew
c. T. A. Society of Norris last Mon
| day but was unable to be here. Mr.. |
Mcclure is President of the Crusaders |
c. T. A. Society of st. Paul and is an
interesting speaker He will be in
Morris in about three weeks. AS soon |

all will have an opportunity for hear
ing him.
Mr.. A. Curtis, Of LIE Sueur, Mimi.
is about to engage in business in
Morris and will occupy the store
loom that is being fitted up in the
Central House. We understand
that this is to be a novelty store and
that there is to be large 80 cent de-
partment. There is good opening
for Il business of this kind. The TRIB-
UNE extends hearty welcome to MIR.
Curtis to place in the business cir
cles of Morris and predicts for him a
full measure of success.
In the Methodist church last Sun
day the auditorium was Hastily deco
rated with flowers and the morn
ing services were appropriate to the
day. There were exercises at three
o'clock in the afternoon by the chill
dren, who did themselves great cred
it, having spent but four evenings in
preparation. Much interest was
aroused by the breaking of the jugs
which contained the little folks con-
tributions to missions. The sum OF
their offerings was $10.13. The morn
ing collection also was for the mis-
sionary cause.
Lately House & Youngquist paid
$11.00 for freight on a small consign-
ment of goods from st. Paul to Nor
ris. The freight charges ON the same
goods from Chicago to st. Paul was
$165. Another business man paid
$1.75 for bringing few things from
st. Paul to Morris tS freight which
were brought from Chicago TO st.
Paul for 25 cts. When the distances
are considered no one can fail to see
the exorbitant character of these
charges. We publish sample freight
bills like these occasionally so that all
may know and understand the rea-
sonableness of the demand being made
by the people of the northwest for
lower freight rates.
N. J. Russell, general agent of the
Citizecs Mutual Life Insurance Co. of
Minnesota is in Morris showing up
the beauties of the plan of insurance
adopted by that company. The COM
pany is not all old one but has many
commendable features and only has
to be investigated to be liked. Many
of the best business men of the state
have taken out policies and the bust
ness of the company'is rapidly grow
ing. The policies are limited and
are paid up in twelve years. In all
cases of death the policies are paid in
full. J. A. Johnson is the local agent
for the company. Life insurance is
one of the necessities and those in,
tending to take out policies will do
well to examine the plan Of this COM
pany.
Since the last issue of the TRIBUNE
its editor has visited the farm in VII
bona county upon which were spent
the years of his childhood. One of
luxuries enjoyed, during our recent
visit, was some maple sugar and syr-
up made from trees of our own plant
ing. The trees are of the Soft Maple
variety and have grown and develop
ed much more rapidly than we have
ever expected. We mention this fact
because we know that the trees will
do as well in Stevens as in Winona
county, IT farmers and villagers will
each plant few of these trees, It will
not be long before our county can sup
ply itself with maple sugar and have
large number of ornamental shade
trees besides AS good quality of
sugar can be made from the soft as
from the hard varieties of maple.
