Obituary..

Mrs. Mary Fisk, resident of Des
Moines, Iowa, died of consumption OF
her home, Oct. @1st. She will be re-
membered in Morris as the invalid
guest of Mrs. Al Stewart during the
past summer. She had come here
with her children to spend the sea-
son hoping change of climate would
be beneficial. All that medical skill
and tender nursing could do was
kindly and generously bestowed, but
all to no purpose only as g means of
affordlng temporary relief. A few
weeks ago.she returned home accom-
panied by her sister.
For time she was seemingly bet-
ter and until the day OF her death
was cheerful and hopeful. On that
morning about 1:45 she was attacked
with hemorrhage which proved fatal
in few minutes.
Messages of gratitude have been
often sent from her family, since her
return, to the friends IN Morris who in
so many thoughtful ways Kind y ad-
ministered to her while guest in Mrs.
Stewards home.
She leaves kind husband and two
beautiful children to mourn. the loss
of q devoted wife and affectiOnate
mother.

TRAVELS IN CANADA.
A Series Of illustrated Art1-
cles on Canada, Her
People and Customs.
Written In a Breezy style, by Wide-
Awake Yankee, who Puts Things
Down as He Sees Them.

Canada at the present time is exciting
more interest among our people than at
any previous time since the formation OF
our government. Notwithstanding that
Canada and the Canadians are, so TO
speak, our next door neighbors, there is
really less known about that country
and her people by the citizens of the
United States than is known of many OF
the countries of Europe. Such being
the case, it gives us pleasure to be able
to announce that we shall very soon
commence the publication in the TRIB-
UNE of series of letters descriptive Of
Canada and her people. These letters
are written by q genuine, wide-awake
Yankee, "who puts things down as he
sees them" These articles will be pro-
fusely illustrated and cannot fail to
please our readers. There will be SIX
in number, in which Canada, her people,
politics, religion, history and scenery will
be described in an interesting manner.

J. E. DANIELSON,
Electricity.

The longest distance over which con-
versation by telephone is maintained is
about 750 miles, from Portland, Maine, to
Buffalo, N. Y.
There are over 100, 900 miles of sub.
marine cable in operation, or enough to
girdle the earth four times.
Over million miles of telegraph wire
is in operation in the United States, or
enough to encircle the globe forty times.
Four messages can be transmitted over
wire at one time, by the quadruplex
system in daily use. ..
The most widely separated points be-
tween which it is possible to send a tele-
gram is British Columbia and New Ze-
land, via America and Europe.
There are over 10000 miles of tele-
phone wire in operation in the United
States, over which 1,055,0 messages
are sent daily.
1t is estimated that s5O, 600 persons in
the United States are engaged in busi.
ness depending solely on electricity.
About AZ words a minute is the fastest
time made by an operator sending mes.
sages by the Morse system.
There are about 100000 telephones in
use in the United States.
The above facts we have quoted from
long article on electricity, published in
Scribner's Magazine.

Things Worth Remembering.

lnlnSS WOTIH Mountaineering
That it is dangerous to stand near
a tall tree or sp1re during thunder
storm.
That the southwest corner of the
cellar is the "cyclone safety point"
That there is no medicine so uni
versally applicable to sickness as
fresh air and sunshine.
That blowing out the gas before re-
firing Is funny-to everybody except
tile one who tries 1t.
1FT That you may swear as hard as you
please, but it will not remove grease
spots.
That the Wisconsin Central is the
most popular line between MInne-
apolis and st. Paul and Milwaukee
and Chicago.
That its fast train leaves Mime
apolis daily at 6:25 p. M, st. Paul at
Tbs p. M, with through Pullman
sleepers, arriving in Milwaukee at
1857 and Chicago at $3.50 the following
morning, serving breakfast In dining
car.
That before starting on trip
always get information from some re-
liable Ticket Agent, and that now

Here is what Horace Greedy said
about advertising: Numberless
schemes have been devised for the
purpose of advertising. Millions of
dollars have been spent in trying to
force the public to read advertise
ments against their will. These
lodges are sprung upon them when
they at least expect them, and the
effect is therefore annoying. It is as
if tramp should ring your front
door bell and ask for the loan OF a
quarter. Advertising in a reliable
newspapers is different. People ex-
pect to see it there every day. Ad-
vertisers, in dealing with the public,
should remember that they are ask
ing favors; they should do SO in a
courteous, business-like manner.
There is a time and place for every
thing, and the place for advertising is
in newspaper, and the time-every
issue.

George Ketcham has inyented and

George Ketcham has invented aud
manufactured a new duck decoy
which is worthy of patent. It is
made by skinning duck and mount
ing the same, and placing 1t upon a
wooden float. It has the appearance
of live bird and would deceive the
Oldest hunter.-Herman Enterprise.
Fritz Buckentin Of this city has q
goose decoy made by stuffing the skin
of wild goose and mounting it,
which is SO perfect representation of
live one that the most experienced
hunter would swear that 1t was real
live goose If 1t was five rods away.
Fritz says that he has tried wooden
decoys, sheet iron decoys, and tame
wild geese decoys, all OF which failed
to fool the real wild geese. The tame
ones might have done well enough
but they would hide in the grass.
But he says he has got q decog now
that will deceive the shrewdest wild
! goose that ever existed.
Morris tribune., 1889-10-09
When war comes in Europe, as it must

When war comes in Europe, as it must
come at no distant day, it will be seen
that new era has begun in the art of
destruction. The Belgian historian,
Emile de Laveleye, sums up in an ar
ticle in the Forum for October the ter
rible factors of the next conflict. The
civil war in the United States was but
child's play in comparison. With Russia
and France on one side and Germany,
Austria and ITALY on the other, seven
millions of men can be instantly put in
the field, with ten millions in reserve.
The facilities for concentration and the
improved arms are such that more men
may easily be killed in one day than
have ever been killed in a whole war.
The continuous preparations for war,
even when there is no thought of its
immediate occurrence are far greater
and more extensive than ever before.
France has surrounded her frontiers and
her capital with a continuous line OF
forts and entrenchments Germany has
made Metz, Strasburg, Mayence and
Cologne gigantic fortresses, which seem
absolutely impregnable. Italy has forti-
fed her Alpine passes, her sea ports, and
even the Eternal City itself. Belgium is
spending forty millions of francs in the
construction of redoubts with cupolas OF
steel, to close the passage by the Mass
valley. The war budgets are every
where increasing in enormous proper
tions. "And it is under this continual
menace of the most frightful shock OF
armies that our planet will ever have
looked upon," writes M. de Laveleye,
"that we live. Aud the most extraor-
dinary thing is,,that we get used to it.
We go about our business, our pleasures;
we rush in crowds from all parts to the
Paris exhibition, while each one says:
"It may be for Tomorrow

It is strange indeed that farmers do
not give more attention to guarding
against prairie fires. We do not take
up scarcely one of our Minnesota ex-
changes but what we read accounts of
hay, grain, buildings and other prop
erty being destroyed by fire, owing to
the property not being properly pro-
teeted. Only a week or so ago in the
town of Logan, Traverse county, a
destructive fire occurred. The Her
man Enterprise says that Rodney
Prescott and Charles Cater, on Sec
ton six, lost about 1900 bushels of
wheat; Eli s. Nye about l 300 bushels
of oats; Ed. Flakker, on the .Paquin
farm, about 400 bushels of oats.
August Johnson lost all his crop and
buildings except his house. The barn
on the Ole Hanson farm was burned
and quite lot of farming machinery
belonging to andre Olson which was
stored in it went up in smoke. Rod
ney Prescott had horse in the barn
and barely succeeded in getting it out.
His road cart which was standing
near the barn was entirely consumed
except the two holes where the axle
went through. Other persons have
undoubtedly met with as severe losses
as those mentioned. above. For a
time this village seemed to be IN
great danger and the fire department
was called out. Through their efforts
the fire was confined to the west side
of the railroad track and north of the
road running on the north side OF
Kietzman's farm. Eli S. Nye is the
! only one insured"

The NORRIS TRIBUNE has this to
say relative to new line of railroad: :
"We understand that the Huron,
Chamberlain, Ortonville & Duluth
railroad Is coming sure. This will
make the one party merry the 9th er
sad. ALI right let it come; it will
temporarily help us, and we live i'm
the present rather than the future"
What's the matter of making s!n
effort to have this company utilize
the Duluth, Huron and Denver grad e..
-Sauk Centre Herald?
The trouble in utilizing the D. Il.
& D. grade lies in the fact that that
grade does not run to or through
Morris.

Comrade Austin, the publisher Of
the Grand Army Directory, says Min
nesota is behind all the other depart
ments i'm the matter of sending in the
names and addresses of the survivors
of the war. This should not be SO.
No comrades pane should be omitted,
and if the officers of the posts are too
lax and Indifferent each comrade
should send in his own name and the
names of his friends. The matter
should be brought up in post meeting
and the adjutants instructed to for
ward the names and addresses of
every member of the post. This is to
be roll of honor and no man who is
entitled to have his name placed up
OH it will be pleased to know that he
