Letter from VIM. O'Brian.

L0IISF from WIN. ~ bTldns
We have received letter from Mr..
and Mrs. VIM. O'Brian of the town of
Stevens, who are now visiting relatives
and friends in Pennsylvania. The
letter is dated, "Reynolds House, Kit
tanning, Pa, Dec. 9th, 1891" Mr..
O'Brian says that when they left St.
Paul the snow was five inches deep,
but on leaving there they gradually
got into a fine, soft climate. 1T has
rained almost every day since we ar
rived here. I have met several of my
old comrades, members of Co. HI, 9Th
regt. Pennsylvania volunteers, and of
course had a pleasant time with them
talking over old army times. AS re-
CARDS politics, I find the Blaine SEN
timent is gaining favor every day. l
tell them Blaine first, last and all the
time. The Pittsburg politicians are
very badly put out because Minneap-
oils secured the holding of the Repub-
ican national convention in that city.
But reminded them that the North
west is a lively, get-up-and-get coun-
try and bound to get there, and that
we stake Stevens county, Minnesota,
against the world
"Today the thermometer indicates
so above zero in the shade, and the
dust is flying in the streets, notwith-
standing the great amount of rain
that has fallen here of late"
"Kind regards to old comrades and
friends and a Merry Christmas and
Happy New Year to all"

The meeting at The Morris today
to discuss the question of better train
service on the Great Northern was
largely attended, although there were
not as many from outside towns as
was expected, which may probably be
attributed to the very limited train
service on the aforesaid road. The
railroad commissioners were all pres
emit and manifested worthy degree
of interest in favor of better service.
We go to press before the meeting
closed, consequently cannot give all
the proceedings had. We hope how
ever, that the result will be more
tangible than wind"

An AngIo-Saxon Holiday.

The English speaking peoples may,
we think, properly claim Christmas as
peculiarly Anglo-Saxon holiday. 1t is
true that it is also a festival of the
Christian, but it is easily demonstrate
ed that similar festival-without the
religious element-was observed by
the Germanic tribes long before the
Roman legions crossed the Alps. In
fact, it would seem that Christmas
was not originated by the church, but
that priesthood adopted the feast-day,
remodeling it to serve as vehicle for
religious ideas, end turning it's gener-
GUS and social spirit to account in the
service of the church. Did you ever
think that today English is spoken by
one hundred and ten millions of peo-
pie, more than speak any other Ian
guage on earth? China has two hun
dred and fifty millions of people, and
India one hundred ninety-eight, but
there are not one hundred millions in
either country who speak tongue
that is ineligible to the rest of the
population. Where will you enjoy
this holiday this year? At home.
Good; but if you intend to visit
friends or go to the ''old home" just
make note of the fact that "The
Burlington'' is the line from this Sec
ton to Chicago, St. Louis, Peoria,
Quincy, Galesburg, Kansas City, St.
Joseph, Omaha, Des Moines, Burling-
ton, Hannibal, Denver, Cheyenne, Dead
wood, Winona, La Crosse, Dubuque,
Galena, St. Paul and Minneapolis.
To start right on any such trip, call
on the nearest ticket agent, of THE
Burlington" for tickets and informa
ton, or address WI. G. Kenyon,

Those who think that the merchants
in Morris are robbing them by high
prices should price goods elsewhere.
A gentlemen who recently made a
trip through Wisconsin says that you
can buy almost everything cheaper
here in Morris than you can 400 miles
east of here. Only few days since
we heard one of our radical Alliance
men who has thoroughly tested the
benefit of sending away for goods,
make the statement that he could buy
goods right here in Morris cheaper
than he could send away and get them.
The fact is Morris is by far the best
town to buy goods in to be found any
where in this part of the Northwest,
and don't you forget it.

Some unmitigated scoundrel or
scoundrels have quite recently been
distributing poisoned meat or other
substance about town and thereby
poisoned dozen or more very
valuable hunting and other dogs,
either one of which was of more value
than the heartless and contemplate
human beings who destroyed them.
In another column appears a card
from the owners of the poisoned dogs
offering areward of $3.50 for the arrest
and conviction of the person or per-
sons guilty of the inhuman act of dis
tributing poison about the city.

EDITOR Tribune, Morris, MINI.
In your, issue of the 9th inst. Ino-
tice an article which referred to Du-
luth as "the greatest primary wheat
market in the world"
In justice to Superior and to prove
that Duluth is the prevaricator, beg
to refer you to the official figures for
1891 for both cities, which are as fol-
lows:
Superintendent shipments, $685..
905 bushels; coal receipts, 1,14O,OOO
tons; -four shipments, 100000 bar
rels.
Duluth-wheat shipments, 1861
131 bushels; coal receipts, $4,000
tons; flour shipments, 10000 barrels.
Difference in favor of Superior
wheat shipments, 5,482,574 bushels;
coal receipts, $4,000 tons; -four ship
ments, 100000 barrels.
Superior not only invites compari-
son with Duluth, but with all other
cities, and only asks for the true facts.
Yours respectfully,

The favorable impression produced
on the first appearance of the agree
able liquid fruit remedy Syrup of

An honest Swede tells his story in
plain but unmistakable language for
benefit of the public. One of my
children took severe cold and got
the Group. I gave her a teaspoonful
of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy and
in five minutes later gave her one
more. By this time she had to cough
the gathering in her throat. Then
she went to sleep and slept for fifteen
minutes. Then she got and vomited :;
then she went back to bed and slept
good for the remainder of the night.
She got the Group the second night
I gave the same remedy with the
same good results. I write this be-
cause I thought there might be some
one in the same need and not know
the true merits of this wonderful
medicine. CHARLES A. Thompson,
