Morris tribune., 1886-01-27

occurred last Wednesday, the TRIB-
UNE has been short of help and is,
besides having a small amount of
reading matter for this issue, getting
badly behind orders for job work. We
expect soon to have more help, and if
our patrons will be patient with us
for few days, we will come to the
front smilingly.
The Herman Dramatic Co. pre-
sented the well-known drama, Ten
Nights in a Bar Room" in Phoenix
Hall last evening. The company pos
sesses much excellent dramatic talent.
and each part was well rendered
throughout. The hall was filled with
people. and all were highly enter
tanned. A hop was given after the
performance. We sincerely regret
that lack of time forbids more eX-
tended notice of the evenings enter
tainment.
A letter is received from an es-
teemed Donnelly reader, heartily
endorsing the remarks made last
week upon the selfishness of Morris
politicians. He says that the people
of Hancock are certainly entitled to
some of the offices of the county, and
adds that Donnelly should also be
remembered. This addition is a
proper one to make. There are a
number of excellent men in and about
DOnnelly, and when the time comes
to nominate and elect a county ticket
some of them should be favorably
considered.
The TRIBUNE's local paragrapher
has heard a number of people "men-
toned" in connection with village
offices soon to oe filled. Among those
mentioned for president of the coun-
Gil are J. D. Good, 81. II. Wells, F. E.
Newell, Chas. Wintermute and w. j.
Munro. II. B. Wolff, Samuel Larson,
J. House, G. H. Munro, ]. E. Daniel
son, H. Kerl, Ole Hanson, c. L.
Brown and a. DeKay are suggested
for the council, and N. r. Spur, II.
Baldwin, H. Hutehins and J. r. Per-
kins are spoken of for justices. This
is simply "street talk" but may
serve to show which way the wind is
blowing.
A serious accident occurred in the
TRIBUNE press room last Wednesday
afternoon. While feeding the power
press, Miss Morrow caught finger in
one of the grippers and her hand was
drawn under the cylinder. The first
and second fingers upon the left hand
were completely crushed and had to
be taken off, The hand was other
wise bruised, but will probably heal
without further amputation. Since
the accident Miss Morrow has suf-
fered considerably, but with good care
is doing as we'll, perhaps, as could he
expected. Fortunately the press was
running slowly at the time, and was
quickly stopped, or the accident
would have been much more serious.
We find the following in one of our
exchanges and publish it for the bene-
fit of the old fogies and croakers:
1.-THE most effective way to kill
community or country is to get up
and kick every time public i'm
provement is suggested. Buck the
proposition to build sidewalks, take
off your coats and cuss the idea of
starting any kind of mandatory,
kick against municipal improvement,
and if any enterprising citizen talks
of improving his own property, tell
him he is fool and that he had bet
ter keep his money in his pockets.
Discourage new corners from settling;
tell them the town and country
wouldn't bring $4,000 If put up at
auction and sold, and the chances are
that you will die still kicking, and
with the knowledge that if your town
and country has made any advance
ment YOU are not responsible for it.n
