instructive items. The number of
miles of railroad Ill the state June 80,
1885, is placed at 4,226.42 as against
3,90S.9S of the previous year.
L. w. Curtis met with a painful ac-
cIdent at st, Paul one week ago this
evening. The day passenger train
had Just arrived in st. Paul and Mr..
Curtis was engaged in unloading bag
gage when trunk fell from his hands
and exploded. In the remains of the |
trunk was found powder cam and !
number of burned matches. 1t is |
supposed that the matches were light |
ed by friction and set fire to the pow
der, causing the explosion. Mr.. Cur
It's was considerably bruised and |
burned but received no permanent
injuries. He came home last Friday
evening and will soon be ready for
duty again.
Friday night the citizens of Morris
will have an opportunity of seeing
more fun to the minute than ever be-
fore, for at Phoenix Hall Rentfrow's
jolly Pathfinders will appear in the
very, very funny musical comedy,
Scraps" This company Is a noted
one, having made five trips across the
continent and been in organization
nine years. They have their own
band and orchestra, both superb. The
company cannot reach Morris until
4:30 P. NJ, but their band will give an
open-air concert at 1870. Mr.. Chas.
J. Smith, one of the most proficient
baritone soloists in the profession,
will give one or more solos, and all
who can should hear him. The Or
chestra Is full operate organization,
and their music will be a revelation,
Admission is so cents, and seats can
be reserved at Goods without extra
| charge.
Mr.. Good is in "bOx." Last Febru-
airy he signed contract with the
Rentfrow Musical Comedy Co., CIV
ing them Phoenix Hall for Friday
evening. May 14th. When, last
month, he concluded to close the hall
and fill it with furniture this contract
was overlooked and forgotten and was
not thought of again till their advance
agent arrived here last week. Mr..
oOOu ulu hlo bOcO W 5Cb GhC dSCAb W
engage Berkin's Hall, the court room
or the rink and release him from his
agreement, but it could not be done.
| The agent produced his contract and
insisted upon having Phoenix Hall.
This compels Mr.. Good to remove the
| entire stock of furniture for that one
night and have the work of putting it
back again the next day. His "per-
centage" will hardly pay for opening
the hall under such circumstances
but it can't be helped.

Library and Reading Room met at
Geo. p. Darling's Office last Wednes-
day evening. There are nine direct
