The Electrical Reyiew says that
the uselessness of the lightning rod
is becoming SO generally understood
that the agents find their vocation a
trying one. Fewer and fewer rods are
manufactured each year, and the day
will come when lightning rod on
house will be regarded in the same
light as u horseshoe over a mans
door.
Both VIM. OBrien and Milo Camp
are candidates to succeed j. c. Han
cock as county commissioner in the
district in which all of those gentle
men live. Both are good men and
both are making q determined,
though perfectly good natured effort
to secure the place. Whether any
more candidates will develop or not
remains to be seen.
The grand and glorious Fourth was
not celebrated to any great extent In
Morris this year. Citizens OF the
place either went elsewhere or spent
the day quietly at home. A consider
able number took advantage Of the
running of the special train and spent
the day in Browns Valley; others
went to Hancock; others to Cotton
wood Lake and still others remained
at home and consumed the day in
visiting or In resting. Morris will
celebrate some other year.
This is the way they do it. Look
out for them. They are travelling
around the state selling mathematical
charts and may strike this county.
They get the county superintendent's
Endorsement, see the directors and get
an order, bulldoze the clerk and
treasurer, and catch the townships
for $40 to $3.50 each. The charts sell
at 81 each and not worth ten cents.
They are a smooth lot, keep inside
the law, work fast and get away
quickest. Peter Tribune.
This from an exchange we gladly
endorse: The person who furnishes
items to a newspaper is always a
valued friend to the editor. Many
persons hesitate about sending perso-
nal notes to a newspaper regarding
themselves, lest the news
paper man should think them too
| anxious to see their names in print.
He will think nothing Of the kind,
but on the contrary he is glad to get
such notes. Many seemingly unim-
portant items when printed, are news
to large number Of readers.
supt. Kiehle has issued a circular
to county superintendent of schools,
asking them to answer the following
| questions in their annual reports: Ii
the supply ofteachers improving. and
if so from what sources and by what
methods? Is there any progress in
the grading of county schools? Has
instruction in the temperance hygiene
been given in thorough manner and
what results can you report? Has
the law regarding public school
libraries done anything for your
county, and II so by what means
Notices that the annual school meet
ings will be held on July q accom-
pany the circulars.
# The editor of The Western Rural
was one Of the party Of editors recent
. ly taken over the various lines Of the
Manitoba as guests Of the company.
In recent numbers Of the Western
Burial appear some excellent articles
upon Dakota and Montana, but there
are few words for Minnesota. T.. H
Stanton, of this place, Is mentioned
!. as a resident of Dakota and all Of the
desirable features OF the country seer
by the editor Of the Rural are attribu
ted to Dakota and Montana. Peopl,
{ here naed wonder no longer that thi,
: distinguished company Of gentlemen
: were given SO little opportunity to SO,
: this and other Minnesota points. The
y Manitoba invited those editors on
: here for the purpose of booming Da
9 kota and Montana; not Minnesota
q BY the way, G. III. Warren, the gen
tlsmaa who had charge of that party
. IL no longer general passenger agen
) Of the Manitoba road. His sucoesso
!. il q large sized, fair minded man an
! we think Minnesota points will b
= treated more fairly hereafter.
