Morris tribune. [volume] (Morris, Minn.) 1880-2000, 1886-02-03


missioners will be in Morris on Feb.
18th. The TRIBUNE suggests that
meeting of business men and farmers
be held before that time, for the pur-
pose of formulating statement Of any
existing grievances to which it may
be thought desirable to call the atten-
ton of the commissioners. Let it be
understood beforehand what is to be
said and who is to say it, or the visit
of the commissioners will probably be
barren of results.
At present the government pays
rent, fuel, lights etc. for all the post
| offices in the larger cities but does not
do SO in the smaller villages and
towns. Third and fourth class post
masters are compelled to bear all ex-
penses of this kind, while their more
favored brothers, with larger salaries,
are privileged to draw upon Uncle
Sam. This. discrimination should not
exist. The postmasters are acting in
body in the matter and will proba-
bly, secure the redress they are seek
ing.
What the village council has done
during the past year is a profound Sc
cret so far as the general public is
concerned. Their proceedings have
not been published. At the begin
ming of the year, it was evidently the
wish of the council to make known
their doings. They designated the
TRIBUNE as the official paper of the
village and directed that their pro-
ceedings be published in its columns.
Thus Q good start was made, but a
| majority OF that august body sudden
ly fell under the popderous sitting
down apparatus of the village Record
er and havn't squIrmed since.
Herman Herald; The Herman
Dramatic society and friends, making
d party of about thirty-five, went to
| Morris on Tuesday. In the evening
s'Ten Nights in a Bar Room" was
| played to a crowded house. We are
| informed that the citizens of Morris
were we'll pleased with its presenta-
ton. After the conclusion of the play
a social hop was INDUCED in which
lasted until the arrival of the morn
ing train for this place. Herman's
delegation is enthusiastic over the
| fine treatment received at the hands
| of the citizens of Morris, who seem to
have made the occasion a very hos
pitable one,
| Willmar Gazettes Conductor John
Kellogg of the day passenger train
won for himself Monday morning the
gratitude of q distressed mother, the
blessings of a car full of passengers,
and the record of champion baby
| tender, The mother had a young ba-
by that yelled iustily and refused to
be comforted despite all her efforts to
soothe it. The conductor, coming
along. took in the situation, picked
up the infant, trotted 1t up and down
the aisle, patted 1t, talked to it and in
few minutes passed it back to thf
mother as good natured baby as one
could wish to see. The passengers
voted they had never seen his equa
at handling baby, and he admitted
that he believed ne could quiet thu
crossest baby that ever lived.
