A Universal Question.

"How can I get the most for the
least moneys" This is the almost
universal question among Americans.
Always in business, usually in pleas.

and rule by which a new proposition
Is measured. Not to write a homily,
but to aid hard.worked men in find

and health in finding desirable Ravens

The Charter Oak.

"Charter Oak" is q historical sen
tence, and it made history at Stone 81
Dumble's store on Friday and Satur-
day last faster perhaps than 1t ever
did before. A. X. Fassett, an expert
from the Charter Oak Stove Co.,
spent those two days lnstructing the
ladies' of Morris how to cook in the
best stove made and the men of
Morris how to eat what was cooked.
We did our share of work at the
table, and while enjoying the roast
and fry we concluded there must be
some peculiar virtue in the stove or
else the meat was fed TO order, for
ordinary meat was not so juicy and
we'll favored.
The stove in question has some
peculiarities that other stoves have
not. The most prominent of which
is the gauze wire oven door. This
door is placed there on the principle
that cooking is decomposition, and
that the tight ovens retain the foul
air and the meat absorbs 1t, thereby
rendering the food unwholesome. In
this particular stove there are holes
to carry off this decomposed air and
the gauze door admits fresh air, con
tanning oxogen and nitrogen, which
makes the food wholesome.
1t is also claimed that 10 pound
roast in this stove will lose but half a
pound during the process of roasting
whereas in ordinary stoves it loses
four pounds. The biscuit baked and
the coffee made on this stove are
excellent.
Stone & Dumble have the sole
agency for this stove in Morris, and,
while we do not wish TO interfere
with the sale of stoves with any OF
our merchants, we predict a good sale
for the Charter Oak. There are
different sizes, and of course different
prices. The one we examined was q
No. 9, with six holes on top, range
and thirty pieces of furniture, fol
about $50.

A very sad accident happened at
the Industrial School at Clontarf last
week of which we learned only too
late to publish in our last issue. 1t
was on Tuesday, we believe, that one
of the Indian boys who was about
thirteen years of age, was playing
the old game, "teeter.totter," using
a plank laid across a log, a boy on
each end. Just as the one who was
hurt was going up he tumbled off and
in falling his head came in contact
with the point of a large iron fence
augur making severe cut in his
skull. The unfortunate lad was
taken care of promptly aud it was
thought that he was getting better
but on Thursday he commenced to
grow worse and the end came about
one o'clock that afternoon. Deep
sorrow reigns at the school, where
the boy was we'll liked, being a very
companionable young fellow.-Swift

Wilcox & Kelly's "Merry Trail
Seekers" who gave three perform
ances in this village last week, did
themselves and the public ample
credit. They are clean troupe, and
so impressed those who first saw them
on the streets prior to the entertain
ment. 1t has become matter OF
fact, that unless these travelling
troupeS personally impress one favor
ably by their manners and general
moral makeup, it is useless tor them
to anticipate a good house. In this
last case, however, the public con-
sidered it no risk to venture their
quarters on what Messrs. Wilcox &
Kelly would have to show in the way
of a first'class moral play. They had
been we'll advertised for several
weeks, and on their opening engage
ment, Thursday evening at G. A. r.

terest and curiosity of the audience
did not perceptibly diminish from

are really stars in their specialties,
and in saying this we do no discredit
to other members of the troupe who
so ably assisted these gentlemen. Mr..
Wilcox as an English character was
eminently typical representative Of

of a wealthy stock broker, was enter
tanning in the highest degree. Mr..
Kelly's fine physique rendered his
appearance striking and his move

excels. THE Merry Trail Seekers

they go. Before leaving the county

Stevens County has as good land as
the sun shines upon, fine wells of
water, school houses in every town
ship, a full supply Of churches, a
mixed population of loyal, industrious
citizens, the farmers of the county
are getting rich, and yet we have
cheap vacant land for sale. If the
people east of US who are in search of
new homes would pull the glamour
from their eyes and, instead of going
to distant fields west of us, would
stop in this county where farms can
yet be bought for trife, they would
make the best investment of their
lives. This is the county which has
never seen a failure of crops.

The tide Of land seekers coming
into this county from Stearns County
and from South Dakota is surprising.
They are welcome to come and take
up any unimproved land that may be
left, but a farmer who will sell out
to better his condition by going else.
where for a farm is little better than
insane. Taking into consideration
land, climate, society, schools,
churches, roads and railroad facilities
this county can challenge the world
for a competitor, and the farmer
who leaves it will curse the day he
did so. There is not a business in
this country equal to farming ut She
present time. To Judge from the
stupendous crops and the happy looks
of the farmers one would conclude
that they would not know they were
downtroddcn and abused unless some.
body had told them so.

written about the immense amounts
Of lumber leaving Jones' yard this
summer for the country, the improve
ments are not all made by the farm
ers. A number of good dwelling
houses have been erected In this viii

j. Bailey is about to enlarge J. A.
Johnson's new house to double its
present dimensions, and his barn also.
We expect to see a number one resi-
dence 60 up this fall for S. Stewart.
