Good Showing for the West.

Is temperance sentiment growing
in this countryg If so, how fast, and
where the most rapidly! People
interested in the temperance move
ment, either for or against, will be
pleased to know. Those interested
against it will perhaps be satisfied
with examining the election returns,
especially il they be of the
masculine gender. But the manly OF
us who have to stand and work as

like to know the sentimen OF thAt
reserve force and the changes that
are taking place therein. Is temper

doing more or less temperance woIk!

of the barbarians Of the west To
whom the good east has so long been
sending out missionaries. These
missionaries have evidently done
good work. Consider the following
facts and say whether 1t IS not
about time that we returned the

election returns may find here germ
for future growth that is worth their

takes the banner for the largest in

future! And then Wisconsin won the

In an article in yesterdays Tribune
in regard to the county printing. the
statement was made that THE sun
could not do the printing in II work
manlike manner. The editor of the
Tribune evidently torgets that the
county printing in the Tribune last
year was set by the foreman of TIE
sun office. With better facilities and
material than ever before, THE Sun
could do as good a job as the Tribune,
and it would be more widely circu
lated in the county.
A definition of barnacle which
would amply first rate to the Tribune
is. IL species Of goose. a strange
notion formerly prevailed that these
geese grew out Of wood.

The Lutteman Sextette.

We are very much pleased to he
able to announce TO the public that
this world renowned troupe is coming
to Morris. This is certainly the
most famous company of singers that
has ever hOnored Morris; its fame is
as wide as the world.
At the Paris Exposition of 1878,
where all the finest singers of the
world were assembled, this troupe
entered for competition for the Gold
Medal prize. They won it from
France, Germany, England, and in
fact from every nation Of the world,
for all were there. The Japanese
were their strongest .petltOrS.
They are originally from Stockholm,
but sing in German. English and
Swedish. They come under the
auspices of the Red Path Bureau, to
whom we are indebted for all of the
first class singers that cone TO this
country.
~ number of our enterprlsing
citizens have guaranteed a certain
amount of money to secure their
presence among rs for one night,
1t is quite All undertaking, but we
believe our enterprising town and
surrounding country will sustain
! them.
The price of tickets Will be IS cents
no extra charge for reserved seats
The entertainment will be given on
the 9th of February at the Court
! House.

Why He Wears a Beard.

A well-known lawyer who has al
ways taken considerable pride in the
classic mold of his clean-shaven face
appeared ut the county courthouse
recently with a well-develOped growth
of very unbecoming beard. says the
N. Y. San. Every friend that he met
wanted to know why he didn't get
shaved, and finally he corraled half q
dozen of them in corner and told
them the reason.
He had never learned the art of
shaving himself aud had always patron
lied one barber. Not long ago this
barber dropped into the habit of tell
ing him that he (the lawver) had a
mesmeric eve. The lawyer didn't
mind much what his barber thought OF
his eye so long as he shaved him salts
factorily. But, having discovered that
the lawyers eye was mesmeric, the
barber went a step further, and once
in awhile after making q slip with his
razor would explain that it was be-
cause he was mesmerized so that he
did not know what he was about. Mat
tiers went on in this way for a week
or so, the barber insisting that he was
mesmerized every time the lawyer
looked squarely at him, and the law
yer taking it for granted that the mes
merism business was dodge of the
barber to excuse the occasional cut
| from his razor.
A different aspect was put on thu
case, however. the last time the barber
shaved his lawyer customer. Leanin!
over him after he had finished he ask
ed if the lawyer thought man woul'
be excusable for cutting the throat o
one who mesmerized him. The law
yer said he certainly would not be ex
cusable, aud got out of the chair a
quickly as possible. He afterwar'
learned that the barber had become
perfect crank on the subject of mes
merism. and nothing will persuad
him that he did not have a narrow es
cape. He will probably go to anothe
barber some time. but at present hi
nerves are so shaken by the occurrence
that he prefers to wear an unbecomin
beard to sitting down in any barber
| chair

Bursting Of a Glacier Dam.

The Marielen lake, which lies at the
foot OF the Eggischhorn. in the upper
Valais, had burst the glacier dam which
lay across the valley, and spreading
over the glacier poured a black mass
of mud, stoues and broken ice into the
Rhone below. Fortunately there was
little water in the river at the time,
otherwise the consequence mi ht have
been verv calamitous for the people of
tie upper Valais. A peasant who was
close to the lake at the time declares
that the scene was most terrible and
indescribable. When the ice jam gave
way the vast mass of wat T. came tum-
bling out, sweeping away the huge
fragments of the glacier, with the
rocks upon it, tumbIing into the
crevasses, bursting them up in turn,
and rising over the glacier IN gigantic
waves, again to carry all before it.
Just at the end of the glacier the
valley had narrowed into little dctile,
while the face of the glacier was some
hundreds of feet hi Oh. The water
seemed to have tunneled under the ice,
which, attacked above and below. gave
wav at last with q deafening crash,
while the flood hurried down the
mountain side into the Rnone. The
lake was nearly 5000 feet above the
sea level, aud usually discharged its
surplus water by subterranean chan
uels, occasionally bursting its ice bar
riers. as on the present occasion. The
cantonal government are constructing
all overflow canal. which it is hoped
will put an end to these periodical out
bursts.

How playipc marbles Are Made.

Nearly all the common marbles which
drag down the pockets of our boys are
made in Oberstein, Germany. They are
made from the refuse of the agate and
stone quarries in that neighborhood.
The stone is broken into small cubes by
blows of light hammer. These small
blocks of stonearo thrown by the shovel
full into the chopper" Of a small mill,
formed of bed Of stone, having its sur
face grooved with concentrated burrows;
above these is the runner" which is
made of hard wood having a level face
on its lower surface. The upper block
is made to revolve rapidly, water being
delivered upon the grooves of the bed
stone where tine marbles are being
rounded. It takes about fifteen minutes
to finish a bushel of good marbles ready
for 'snapping.' Ono mill will turn ont
10000 marbles per week. The very
hardest Crackers" as tho boys call
them. are made by a slower process.
