Colonel Polk's War Record.
National TIibune.]


We have received large number of
requests from our readers for the mill
tary history of Colonel L. L. Polk of the
farmers alliance There have also been
serious charges that he was in authority
in command at times-at the rebel
prison at Salisbury, n. G.
We have made a tiresome examination
of the Confederate archives, without
much result. He appears to have been
too obscure man during the war to
make much figure in the records.
He first appears in the archives
81, 18Ge-as third lieutenant, Company
|, Forty-third n. G..
February %, 1868, there is another
similar entry. He was then at Kins-
ton, n. c.
October 81, 1863, he was reported un'
der arrest, but no explanation is made
as to charges, or the disposition made ol
them.
August 81, 1864, he appears on the
rolls as a second lieutenant.
December, 1864, he is reported absent
ON leave.
February 4, 1865, his resignation was
accepted.
In the Confederate adjutant and in
spector generals record there appear nc
special assignments TO Polk.
This is all the documents show so far

CIRCUS DAY.
Some Brief reflections On What May and
Might Happen Circus Day.

Some Brief reflections On What May and
Might Happen Circus Day.
The circus IS here to-day, and people
all enter into the spirit of it. Whatever
may be said against the circus, the circus
will live always. They are all about
alike A new feature here or something
different there may vary the programme,
but the circus is just the same and will
always be the same. And it should be,
and people who say the circus should
not be patronized are in the very small
minority and they are off their respective
bases. The circus is the boys day and
the girls day and the old folks day.
The skill of the acrobats, the funny
things which the clown says-the trick
mule and all of that-well, it is diver
sity, and we should be thankful that We
have such innocent amusements.
Apart from the circus, the menagerie
is worth more than the price of admis-
sion. It is there that the child may see
animals from all parts of the world
from the jungles of Africa-from the
peacock with it's plumage to the rhino-
cerOs which sweats blood
It is help in the natural history-it
is widening of ideas.
This old man does not like the three
rings-one is all sufficient, but there
must ne depression.
Long live the circus, and may the
world finally accept it as a necessary
part.

Saving Wood.

1t is usually said of a man who
attends well to his own business, that
che saws wood in his own door yard. "
We read this frequently in the papers
about J. q. Blaine, and of others who
do not understand the business as
we'll as he does. But what ever we
may hear of celebrated statesmen,
or politicians saving wood, we have
at least one man in Morris, who. if he
don't just saw wood, he sells it in
the shape of lumber at as lively Il
rate as any politician could hustle for
votes.
It is now mid-winter and hs is
selling lumber as if it was mid-sum-
mer. If he ever takes vacation, it
must be when lie grows as old as
Methusalah. for he will have no time
in the present generation; Of course,
we mean E. J. Jones across the street
from US, and if you would take seat
In our sanctum window and look over
in to his yard for day, you would
think you had struck a new planet.

Death In The Cup.

A sad affair took place in this
county on Thursday night last. Louis
narstad and two neighbors, of the
town of Donnelly, were in Morris on
that day and had been drinking to
excess. Returning home late at
night they drove past HArstads home,
TO the residence of the neighbor who
owned the team. Mr.. HIrstad had
fallen asleep and was forgotten in the
wagon; in the morning he was found
dead. Deceased leaves a wife and
child. He was highly esteemedas one
of the best of neighbors.

The Russian Famine.

In last weeks issue of THE Sun
we published the appeal of Governor
Merriam for relief to the starving
Russians, as the most eloquent lite
nature we could lay before >onr
readers. The American people can
have no sympathy with the Russian
government; either in Its treatment
to the Jews, or its other subject, yet
we have some cause to remember the
kindness OF that government. 1t was
our warmest European friend during
the dark days Of the rebellion, and if
we read history correctly, the En-
pOrer of Russia was the man who
effected arbitration with England
during orr war of lSl2-l5. But how
ever we may feel toward the govern
nent Of Russia, the starving millions
have nothing to do with the govern
ment; they are our fellow men;
children of one common father.
They are starving: we have album
dance; they cry for help-the Ameri-
can people will obey their Great
Teacher and feed the hungry.
What will Stevens county do? We
have talked with some of the liberal
men of the county and the conclusion
arrived at is, that this county can
send carload of flour (1CO bbls.j
II. w. Stone & Co. will furnish 100
barrels of good -four for $500, and
give liberal donation to the $500;
they will also take wheat at 80 cents
per bushel, toward their amount,
from farmers who have more wheat
than cash. Let Stevens county men
consider the advantages of such do
nation to themselves. In the first
place it would be discharging a
christian duty obligatory upon us.
In the second place, it would be
worth more to the comfy as an
advertisement than the whole sum.
Just think of small sparsely popr.
lated county away OH the frontier,
contributing $500 pounds of flour to
the starving Russians. The fact
would spread through the whole
country.
Are there not one hundred men in
Stevens county who will give S.
each, or its equivalent in wheat? We
believe so; then let us move in the
matter at once.

Christmas Greeting.

CHERRY Christmas to air. This is
the greeting that will ring out all
over the land tomorrow; and we
heartily greet the readers of THE Sun
in the popular phrase. Xmas day is
the day of days in the christian world;
all other days have something earthly
about them; this is the day supernal.
The Christ whose birth we celebrate
on this day, taught us some excellent
| lessons; one of which was, to remem-
Der the poor. On tomorrow when
you are rejoicing in your happy
home blessed with health and plenty,
remember that there are many people
| in Morris who will have no Turkey,
! or even roast beef, unless some who
have more than enough will divide.
I'VE are fortunate in not having
many of this class in Morris) and
they have lovely children with the
same desires as yours; will you not
hunt up some of these needy ones
and add to your own happiness by
contributing to theirs.
The stores of Norris looked for the
past few weeks as if Xmas was surely
coming; it was hard to get waited
on in some of them; the delivery
wagons have been kept on the run;
and the mysterious bundles under
shalls and in baskets, would indicate
that Santa Claus means business this
time at any rate. And so it ought
to be, for this county of Stevens was
never before so prosperous as it is in
this year 1891. We have every reason
in the world to rejoice and be glad.
But we repeat, remember those who
are sad; and if everybody makes up
their minds to make it glad day,
there will te little sadness felt.

Morris improvements For 1892


Already are the contemplated i'm =

growing village, cropping out. The
capacity of the Morris brick yard
will be tested for Morris alone.

is that of Syverson & Thorsted,
who have purchased lot 5, block on
5th, street. east of J. u. Goods store.
AS soon as spring opens they will
put up a two story brick store Is by
80 feet. This is a creditable enter
prise for this Young and prosperous
firm; and proves that they have not
been wasting their time thus far.
We may confidently expect to see
some fine brick buildings erected on
block three also, but are not at
liberty to give names yet. We will
be glad to record all improvements
as soon as possible.
