down into the surging flood, carrying
with it two men and woman with a
child in her arms, who had climbed out
on the roof. Once a mans body was
shot up by the water until it stood waist
high, and the man struggled, waving
his arms and trying to escape. Then he
was dragged down by the legs by the in
carnate cruelty which had thus given
him glimpse of life, only to snatch it
from him forever.

Death Of Mrs. ). w. Harris.

Died at Ortonville, Mimi, Friday,
August 2lst, 1891, Laura, wife OF Dr..
j. w. Harris of this city, aged Y
years Never since our residence
in Morris have we been called upon TO
record the death of any one whom we
more sincerely regrted than the death
of Mrs. Harris. She was highly re-
spected by all who knew her and dear
ly beloved by her intimate friends.
The maiden name of Mrs. Harris
was Laura Shumaker. Her parents
resided Mt Ortenville, and Mrs. Harris
had an abiding faith during her sick.
ness that if she could be removed to
her home in that village she would
recover her health, consequently
about six weeks since she was re-
moved there, where she died.
Mrs. Harris had been confined to her
bed since last january, never having
fully recovered from the grip with
which she was afflicted year or more
since.
She leaves II husband and two little
bows to mourn her loss. Most surely
her afflicted and mourning husband
has the sincere sympathy of all our
people. The editor of the TRIBUNE
and family especially extend their
earnest and heartfelt sympathy.

Presidential Conventions.

a presidential nominating conven.
ton, be it of what party, is always a
great event for the city where it is
held. The number of delegates is
not so very large, rarely exceeding
four or five hundred persons, but the
army of hangers.o on and would-be pc.
litical bosses often mounts up to
10000 or $4,000 people. For the Re-
publican convention of 1892 Chicago
is understood to be a candidate, while
Minneapolis is half mind to make an
effort to secure it. This reminds us
Of when the Republican convention
of 1888 was held at Chicago, "The
Burlington" carried, in three days,
over 1000 Northwestern people to the
city by the lake. In fact, as route
to Presidential conventions, let them
be held wherever they may, "The
Burlington" is always at the front,
reaching more prominent Western
cities than any other line.

Deafness Can't Be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an infamed condi-
ton of the mucous lining of the Eusta-
chan Tube, When this tube gets infla-
med you have rumbling sound or i'm
perfect hearing, and when it is entirely
closed, Deafness is the result, and unless
the inflammation can be taken out and
this tube restored to its normal condition,
hearing will be destroyed forever; nine
cases out of ten are caused by catarrh,
which is nothing but an inhamed condi-
ton of the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for
any case of Deafness (caused by catarrh)
that we cannot cure by taking Halls
Catarrh Cure. Send for circulars free.

Remnant Sale.

This is the latter part of the sum-
mer remnant season, and there is no
reason why the merchants of Morris
and surrounding villages should not
clear up their remnants by sales,as we'll
as the city retailer. and put money in
their drawers, as does the latter. Says
the Commercial Bulletin: Select out
every remnant of goods in the store,
and sell them out at cost, remember
ing that cost includes an allowance
for freight. Then put an announce
ment in the town paper about" browns
Remnant Sale This Week Cash only, y
and instead of having Il lot of odds and
ends to carry over the season, there
will be stock cleaned up and paid
for, and the shelves will be ready to
receive the fall stock of goods.
Haven't you got the courage to try
remnant sale and advertise it! Then
you fail in the essential quality that
every merchant should possess. The
trouble with the country business is
that it is allowed to fall to much in a
rut. 1t is not to be understood that
any radical departures from old lines
should be made, There should be
freedom at the country store that does
not prevail in the city store; but there
is room for little enterprise in the
country.
A good many merchants have theil
annual and semi.annual sales, but
more do not. There is no class who
would appreciate q summer remnant
sale more than the farmers wife
Try it.

the chimney nearly in the centre of

We have talked with IL good many
farmers during the past two days,
from whom we learn that the frost OF
last Saturday night damaged corn and
late flax severely and most entirely
ruined garden truck This is too
bad. With the splendid prospect OF
!. big crop of corn in this county, us
well as flax, it is discourlging t" have
Jack Frost step in and ruin those
prospects. But the wheat and oat
crop is secure. No damage has been
done to either and the yield is big

There is scarcely Il day passes bnt
we have the most positive evidence
rllat farming lands in Stevens county
are becoming more and more III de-
mand. The TRUTHS our land has been
held ut II too low figure, and the re-
suit has been that they have been
looked upon It's being of an inferior
quality: but of late home-seekers from

tages presented here to those who de-
sire to make permanent homes and
they have arrived ut the conclusion
that no where within the broad bord-
ers of our great state are greater in
ducements offered settlers than in
Stevens county. A rare chance is
now offered settlers to procure homes
here ut reasonable prices, and those
who delay in making purchases, or in
vest in localities far away from mark
cts make great mistake. The time
to buy lands in Stevens county is now,
before spectators gobble up the land
and hold it at fancy figures. Land is
constantly advancing in price, and we
are safe in predicting that within
twelve months from now farming
lands in Stevens county will be selling

A TRIBUTE.

Mrs. Harris is dead ~ was the
painful news received in Morris on
Saturday. the 22d inst. Although not
entirely unexpected, it was a shock to
her many friends here who had hoped
that by removal from this city to
her parents home in Ortonville the
change might be beneficial. We know
now that our hopes were not to be
realized, and while our hearts are very
sore and sad and feeling very deeply
for the bereaved, we cannot think her
dead; she only sleepeth to awake again
more glorious and beautiful in her
robes of righteousness. We cannot
speak in too much praise of this love-
ly, womanly woman who has gone be-
fore. TO know her was to love her.
In choosing Mrs. Harris for friend
one felt it was not for Il day. but to-
morrow and always, or just so long us
we proved worthy of that friendship.
And while this affection seems so
cruel and hard to be borne by the be-
reaved, and so hard for them to let the
grave have their loved one, when the
future looked so bright and promising,
in my poor and weak tribute to dear
Mrs. Harris let me say to those who
are left. we know not the ways OF
Providence. The Father hath need OF
her. He said, daughter, come home;
/ have Il mansion not made with hands
prepared for thee;" and so it seems to
me that o'er I'LL this shadOwing gloom
