Wants to Leave Texas and
Come to Stevens County.

Below we publish a letter from 4
gentleman in Texas to Mr.. Thos.
Thomasson of this. city. Some time
since Mr.. Thoni,sssnn, in II comnlnnl-
cation to the Scandinavian paper OF
Chicago, set forth the advantages ana
prosperity of Stevens county. rms
communication was read by his
friend, aid lie wrote to Mr.. Thomas
son, making enquiries. about our
county, and OF receiving Mr.. Thomas
sons reply, wrote anotherle letter, from
which we are permitted to make the
following extract. The writer form
erIy resided in this county, having
come here in 1864. AT that time his
nearest market was Willmar, and 1t
required four days to make the trip
with an' OK team. He resided here
fourteen years and being inbad health,
concluded to remove to Texas, but,
Notwithstanding he has regained his
health, he does not like there and
proposes to come back to Stevens
county. The letter is dated October
25th. 1883, and is rs follows:
Mr.. THos. THoMAssoN:
Dear Sir:-There are several
families of us here who wish to sell
out our farms and emigrate to Min
nesota. lived up there fourteen
years, and six years here in Texas, but
are now longing to go back to your
State again; and as we intend to come
to Stevens county and buy land, you
will confer upon us great favor by
writing me and informing us If there
is school, railroad or spectators
land to be had in your county, and at
what price it can be bought, and
especially in the neighborhood of
Morris. I intend to stand the trial of
facing Minnesota snow storms once
more, M. B.

The dry cold weather of the early
winter months Is productive of a great
deal of Group among children. Moth
ers should be ON the lookout for 1t,
and be prepared to arrest it as soon
as the first symptoms appear. True
Group never comes without warning;
a day or two before the attack the
child will become hoarse, and that
symptom is soon followed by pecu-
liar, rough cough. If Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy is given as soon as
this hoarseness or cough appears, all
danger and anxiety may DO avoided /;
it has never failed, even in the most
severe cases. There is no danger in
giving the Remedy for it contains no

Republican Notification.

The Morris Republicans having
become fully satisfied that Harrison
and Morton were elected, concluded
to have u Grand Republican Roundup
on Saturday highland they had 1t
you bet. There were bon fires, SKY
rockets, fire crackers, music by the
cornet band, shooting ofanvils, mar
tial music by Drum Major Peppers
drum corps, shooting breech-loadine
guns with blank cartridges, singing
shouting, marching. speaking, good
supper and many other demonstra-
tions of joy and good feeling.
Several residences We're brilliantly
illuminated, notably that of Capt.
Stedman's, which presented fine
appearance, every window being IL
Illuminated and on the porch We're sus-
pended n number Of very pretty
Chinese lanterns. The procession
halted III front of the Captains house
ana the bands serenaded him and the
crowd gave him three hearty cheers,
for which compliment he thanked
them in few we'll chosen words.
After the procession returned it
halted in front of the Metropolitan,
and Hon. A. S. Crossfield, our repre-
sentative elect, being present, was
loudly called for. He responded in a
very neat and eloquent speech from
the balcony of the hotel, and was many
times enthusiastically cheered.
About 1880 supper was announced
by that prince Of landlords, Fred
Brunnell, and large crowd sat down
to n splendid repast. The dining hall
was tastefully decorated with nation-
al flags, pictures OF Harrison and
Morton being conspicuously displayed
while the picture of President Cleve-
land was in mourning.
After partaking oftlre supper, came
the "feast of reason and flow of soul" "
Sheriff Munro acted rs master of cere-
monies, and nearly every man at the
tables was "called out" and either
made a speech, gave toast or sung
song. A royal good time was had,
and the grand roundup came to an
end in time for every one present to
he in the arms of Morpheus before the
arrival of that PECULIAR hour which
Burns calls "between the late and the
early"

New Cure for Diphtheria.

In last weeks TRIBUNE DR.. Suther-
land JAILED the attention OF our citizens
| to the fact That dipiltheria was PREVAIL
| ing 10 come extent in some OF the adj
joining towns, and very properly
sngge1tet thst flle most thorough
sanitary measures be adopted. In
view OF these facts, and believing that
it Is VOL to test the efficiency Of any
remedy for this dreaded disease recon-
nlended by eminent medical authors
ty, we publish the following from the
Medical Record In relation TO the use
Of turpentine:
We hare OH several occasions re-
ferred to tho use of turpenine in
diphtheria. Recommended originally
In Germany and claimed to be almost
specific, 1t was there, also, that the
employment of the drug was subject
ed to the most severe criticism.
Some recent publications have again
drawn attention to the alleged value
ofthis substance, and most remarkable
among these is all article whIc appear.
ed in the Therapeutische Monatshefte.
The author asserts that he has employ
ed turpentine in diphthcria for the
last four years. In that time he has
lost only five cases out of sixty that
came under treatment. Two of the
fatal cases concerned infants, who ap-
peared moribund when first taken,
and died few hours later. The other
fatal cases were also unusually severe
from the start, two dying in thirty-six
hours, and one surviving Eve days.
This is certainly noteworthy record,
as diphtheria statistics go. The oil of,
turpentine was administered In dram
doses three times day. Sweet spirits
of nitre was used as q corrective, in
the proportion Of one part OF the
spirits to fifteen OF turpentine. Symp-
toms of intoxication were never OBJ
served by the author. In addition to
the tnrpentine, 2 per cent solution
of sodium saIycilate was given every
two hours in tablespoon doses. A
gargle of chlorate of potash solution
was likewise employed whenever
possible. Under this plan Of treat
ment rapid amelioration oflocal signs
and constitutional symptoms was OBJ
served. Usually improvement began
at once, and it was rarely necessary to
push the drug beyond five or eight
doses. 1t should be remarked in this
connection, however, that a very
generous and stimulating fluid diet
(strong broth, port wine, milky form
ed feature of DR.. Roses plan of
treatment. Those who are inclined to
be skeptical in regard to the utility of
medicines in the severe forms of diph-
liberia [and the profession contains
many such) will scarcely accept the
authors figures without challenge.
On the other hand, for the very reason
that violent diphtheria ordinarily
justifles so gloomy prognosis, we
are ever ready to employ any means
which may possibly reduce its fright
full mortality. There is no reason,
why the turpentine treat
ment of this disease should not be
given a fair trial.

The Richard Foote Dramatic Com
| pany gave two entertainments in our
city on Friday and Saturday evening
of last week. The first night they
produced the Lady of Lyons" and
and were greeted by large and de-
lighted audience. We were most
agreeably surprised by the acting,
which was exceedingly fine. Mr..
Foote is certainly a fine actor, has a
SPLENDID voice and fully appreciates
the character he delineates, and he is
ably supported by the other members
of his company. On Saturday even
ing the great tragedy of Richard III
was presented, but there was small
audience in attendance, owing to the
Republican jollIfication that evening,
but those who attended were greatly
pleased with the acting. OF course
the company labored under great dis
advantages in not having sufficient
stage room. Should Mr.. Foote and
his company ever visit Morris again
they will receive hearty welcome
and be greeted by a full house.
