L. II. SCHUMAN.
TAILOR.

People from the east coming here,
at once notice and admit that our
people are better and more tastefully
dressed than are our brethren in the
older states. This is due partly to the
more prosperous condition of the
masses and partly to our artistic tail
ors who have been attracted here by
the manifest advantages which this
section posed for the craft.
A gentleman who has long COM
manded the respect of his contempor-
aries and patrons is Mr.. L. III. Schu-
man, who for the past seven years has
conducted a tailoring establishment
in our city his patronage including
some of our most fastideous dressers.
Patrons are accommodated from the
stock of foreign and domestic suitings
always carried or from samples
affording as wide q range of choice as
would be possible in the large cities,
and all garments leaving his establish
ment being the acme of perfection
both in style and fit.
| Mr.. Schuman is native of Ger.
many, coming to America some TWEEN
ty years ago, and has been a resident
of Morris since 1882.
In business circles he Is deservedly
popular and has won an enviable
reputation for honorable methods.
Having business relations elsewhere
which demand his whole attention
Mr.. Schuman offers his shop and fix
lures for sale at very low figures ant
we must say that we know of no bet
ter opening for good man Of limited
means, who desires all immediate
patronage without being obliged t.
await the develodement of paying
trade.

He gives close personal attention to
each department of this large and eX-
tensive business, and has built up a
very satisfactory trade. 1t is incum-

The pencilings upon the fields ana
forests in all their varied beauty are no
truer than the action of the rays OF light
through the medium of the camera
when operated by Mr.. Elliott, who is an
artist of years of experience and whose
taste is unimpeachable.
His facilities for all classes of work
are excellent, and his prices are as low

all Mr.. Elliott's work the touch and

In work of this kind which treats OF
the resources of the city of Morris, and

who reside elsewhere, it is of course not
out of place for US to speak of an estab-
lishment, where, when visitors repair to

excellent bar and fine billiard room are

this class of trade.
Mr.. Bunnell has for long time felt
the necessity of more room to accommo-
date his necessary trade and the new

be the finest block in our city and the

A distinguished gentleman recently
declared that Americans are nation OF
travellers. This popularity is not con-
| fined to any one class, but applies to
rich and poor alike This has brought
about accommodations suited to the diff
ferent tastes and means of patrons OF
public conveniences. Accordingly we
have the cushioned coaches, elegant
sleeping and parlor cars and palace
hotels for the comfort of those who can
afford them, and the cheaper modes of
travel and hotel accommodations for
those in less pretentlous circumstances.
The one is as essential as the other. OF
the latter class of hostelries Morris has
several good ones, but none furnishing
better accommodations for the money
than the St. Paul, which in many towns
would be considered tirst-class.
1t is large frame structure located
on Fourth street, has light, airy rooms,
with pleasant dining room and office,
and the service in every way is the best
that enterprise and experience can give
for the money, and parties in search of
a clean, quiet, we'll conducted place to
stop; either by the day or week, will
make no mistake if they give this house
a trial.
In connection with the hotel is a barn
with plenty of stabllng room, which
offers every convenience to parties hav-
ing horses of their own.
Thomas Coilahen is native of Ire
land, but came to America when but
nine years of age, settling in Pennsyl-
vania. At the commencement of our
civil war he enlisted IN the 9th Pennsyl-
vania Infantry, three months regiment,
and at the expiration of the time re-
enlisted in Battery L, U. 8. Regular
Artillery, serving his time and re-enlist-
ing for the third time in the same, serv-
ing until Oct. 9Th, 1865. Was prisoner
at Libby for four months. He has been
q resident of Morris for the last fifteen
years, most of which time he has been
connected with the hotel. He is a genial
landlord of the old type, and his best
efforts are devoted to the comfort of his
guests, and we heartily commend the
St. Paul House to the travelling public.

Morris brings one to the Morris brick
yards which have been in operation
off and on for number of years but
owing to poor management have new
er proven financial success until they
were leased by Mr.. Hancock last
spring, since which time they have
been worked to their full capacity,
employment being given to thirty
men and ten teams and the output
finding ready market at local and
western points.
These brick are wire-cut and made
by the dry-mud process and are capa-
BILE of withstanding enormous press
ure and of such fine grade is the
clay that they are nearly equal to
pressed brick for ornamental work
while for all ordinary building pur-
poses they cannot be beaten and when
we consider that these brick are sue
cessfully sold at all points at compe-
tition prices the Importance and utili-
ty of the yards to this, city will be
more readily appreciated.
These yards have daily capacity
of from 10000 to $4,000 and the stock
is practically eXhaustless as the prop
erty consists of l20 acres underlaid
with Il clay bed from eight to ten feet
deep below which is thin stratum of
gravel and then more clay.
These brick have been made into
the finest buildings in town among
which are our court house which is
admired of all, and our common and
high school buildings and banks and
are also being used in the erection Of
our new palace hotel building, as is
also the beautiful city hall and high
school building of Watertown, Dako-
ia.
The foreman Of these yards Mr..
J. c. Hancock is practical brick
maker of long experience and all in
all the management is business like
i'll all respects as is amply proven by
the patronage and profits already earn
ed and we join our ardent wishes with
those of hosts of others that the Nor
riS brick yards may have unnumhered
years Of boundless prosperity.

siderable increase in those lines OF

which cannot be strictly called necess-
tiles. AS an evidence Of the truth of
this statement, we call your attention
to the house of H. J. Northcutt, who
has established rooms in this city for
the sale of pianos and organs and is
doing quite aprosperous and satisfact-
DRY trade.

ments, and the honorable business
methods of this house have won for it
the confidence of the people.

port, Sterling and Western Cottage
Organs. A full stock of all kinds of
musical instruments, violins, banjos,

sheet music including the latest pub.

establishment.
This is also the agency for two OF
the best sewing machines on the mar
ket, the Eldridge and New home, and

EDWIN J. JONES.

DEALER IN LUMBER, LIME AND PAINT
Those concerns which best supply the
commodities which are essential to our
comfort as members of a civilized com.
munity would very naturally claim a very
material part of our consideration, and
for this reason, if for no other, we most
gladly give space to IL brief mention of
one of the most important lumber estab-
lishmcnts in this part of the state we re-
fer to the yards of Mr.. Edwin J. Jones,
which have been in operation since 1878.
His handsome office, spacious sheds
and ample piling grounds are most GEN.
trally located and on the main line of the

His present stock of over half million
feet of lumber comprises all kinds of
hard and soft lumber, laths, shingles.
sash, doors and blinds, and large timber,
in fact everything in the building line,
including lime, cement and paint,
altogether constituting this one of the
best places in Stevens county for pur-
chasing anything in the lumber and
building line.
Mr.. Jones is native of Wisconsin and
has been in this business ever since ar
irving at maturity.
In Masonic circles he is widely known
and higly regarded, being member of
